Carl Person, young labor leader in
dicted in Clinton, H., for the Staying
of Tony Musser, Illinois Central
strikebreaking chief, was brought to
Chicago yesterday on writ issued
by Judge Charles M. Walker.
Argument for bail will be made to-

tried here instead of in Clinton.
81 wanted to be brought to Cook
County tina Il might make fight to
be released on bonds" said Person.
'The feeling in Clinton is running so
high against me because l was work
ing for the laboring mans rights.
The Illinois Central controlled that
district, and it was impossible to OBJ
tain release on bail in De Witt
County.
81 was justified in my actions, and
l will be cleared of the charges
against me if get fair and impair
tial trial. l cannot complain of my
treatment in the Dewitt County Jail
in the five months that Ihave been
held there, but l prefer to be out of
that atmosphere of prejudice. The
Cook County Jail is more comfort
able place to be in, if Jail can be said
to be comfortable.

less than four hours" he said. I'VE
went through Farmers City, Pontiac,
Morris, Aurora, Batavia, Geneva and

Testing Trucks

The St. Croix Lumber Company
is figuring on the installation of
motor trucks to do the toting to
their numerous camps from this
city.
Experts were here this week from
Chicago testing the roads. At
present the St. Croix has over 90
horses in use for hauling supplies
to the various camps, and it is be-

CONTRACT LET
First Twenty Miles Of Road to be
Built at Once

Contract for the construction of
he first 20 miles of the new Grand
Marais & Northwestern railroad,
which is to be built from Grand
Marais, in Cook county, Mimi, to
Ely, St. Louis county. on the Yer
million range, was awarded by
President Arthur Mitchell Thurs
day to John Bergman of Duluth.
Work is to be begun at once, and
the work prosecuted vigorously.
The first 20 miles of the new
railroad will be built out of Grand
Marais and will take the construc-
ton to a point approximately where
it will intersect the line of the Du-
1uth & Northern Minnesota road,
running north from Knife River
toward Port Arthur.
Proposals for the construction of
the first 20 miles of the new rail-
road have been under consideration
for the past few weeks. It is
understood from people in close
touch with the enterprise that the
Grand Marais & Northwestern is
assured of very satisfactory
freight tonnage from the first year
of its operation. The line crosses
Cook county, virgin district, but
which is rich in mineral and finn
Der, and with undeveloped agri-
cultural possibilities. The fact
that the road reaches the city of
Ely on the Vermilion range gives
it an important prospective outlet
from that direction. The distance
over the proposed line from Grand
Marais to Ely. is IS miles. Skill
