Interest in the Luce Electric line
is increasing day by day and the COM
pany is making such satisfactory de-
velopment that it seems as if ~the.early
plans will be realized before many
years. Construction work has been
continually under way during the
past year and will continue all
through the coming year.. The Madi-
son Sentinel has this to say: "The
Luce line project is n that was
floated during the years Of 1913 and
1914 for the purpose Of building an
electric railroad from Minneapolis to
Mitchell, passing through Bookings
and Madison. Such a promotion would
necessarily enable Madison to
tap all that territory lying to the
northeast toward B%rookings and to
he southwest toward Mitchell. Dur
ing the wal little was done toward
the promotion of the scheme and only
recently has the work Of building the
road been resumed. Grades prepare
tory to laying track have been ex-
tended as far as Crystal Lake, Mimi,
and it is thought that before another
year has passed Brookings will have
the electric passing through. 1t will
be but a matter Of time before Madi-
son Is reached. The stockholders in
this community have a great deal in
vested in this concern and the dele
CATION going to Minneapolis next week
will boost the building plans of the
road as much as possible"
