At Inninuola tho promoters wero at first treated coldly, aud tho town council re fused to consider tho franchise nrono-. attlon, but later tho sentiment changed and it has now been arranged that the fran chise shall bo submitted to the voters for approval. This lino is to be an extension or tho line to the now nrmy post site, which Is four miles from the postoinco. Work on tho lino to the army post site will commence as soon ns It Is possible to work tho ground. Tho WIntcrset line Is to bo nn extension from Valley Junction nnd runs through n well settled country far removed from railroads, whoro tho lino win do welcomed. At Wlntorsot tho nlnn Is to connect directly with tho proposed lino from Creston to WIntcrset by way of Macksburg, which Is being promoted by umana capitalists. At WIntcrset and aincKBDurg this proposal has been well coived, but at Creston somo opposition Is encountered, although It has been the Hb sire of Creston people for many yenrs to securo a new and direct route to Des Aioines, which this would offer. A tax Is to be asked In nld of tho road in Winter set. Macksburg nnd Creston, and If this Is dono there Is no doubt the lino will bo constructed this year.

I'rninotnrn of lie Molnea IOIrcti lc I, tun Full to liuiireaa Creston Council. CRESTON. Ia Feb. 21. (Special.) Messrs. Waterman nnd Crawford, who are promoting tho electric railway from Cres ton to WIntcrset, mot with a cold recep tion last night from Creston's city coun cil. That body would not vote to submit tho question of a franchise, to the peoplo, so the promoters will havo to obtain tho signatures of twenty-five property owners from each ward, which will forco tho mayor to call an election. Waterman and his colleague returned last night from Wlnter eot nnd Macksburg, where they met with n cordial reception nnd the city councils of both towns ordered a vote on tho franchise. A 5 per cent tax will probably bo naked for from WIntcrset to Creston aud a .1 per cent tax In WIntcrset. Just what tho company will expect from tho city of Cres ton tho promoters did not say. Thoy did say that tho Nebraska Traction company was back of the enterprise nnd had plenty of money; that It wns a duly Incorporated company. Mr. Waterman told the council that to construct and equip the road It would cost about $350,000, The building of an electric lino from Creston to WIntcrset has long been agi tated In this city and favorably considered at Wlnterset and Macksburg. It Is believed that J. S. Polk of Des Moines would build from the capital city to Wlnterset. Thero Is also another rumor to the effect that Mount Ayr will put In nn electric light and water plant and nu effort will bo mado to get that rlty to put In n plant Inrge enough to furnish power to operate nn electric road from that city to Creston.
