of the best in his section and the
yearly volume OF business done by
the north side of town and the c. B. &
Q. r. r. on the south side Is surprising
Each has passenger train both ways
daily and also local freight and at
times the amount of incoming and out

in spite of the fact that the automo-
bile today plays big part in the mat
ter OF transportation. Railroad men
regard Fremont as a busy burg" and
count on a large business from the
place.
