Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 38, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 January 1901 — Headed for Lowell and Cedar Lake. [ARTICLE]

Headed for Lowell and Cedar Lake.

While Contractor Hack, of Lowell, was in town Monday he informed the news that Lowell •is now working for the Gifford railroad. In conversation with Mr. Gifford last week Mr. Hack was told that Lowell could get the road provided the township voted a tax, a proposition which public sentiment seems to favor. The northern terminus of Mr. Gifford’s Garden Line at present is DeMptte, where it croeses p the Three I. road. It is Mr. Gifford’s intention to get to Cedar Lake touching the east shore, and from there eventually to Chicago. The road can be pulled to Lowell without much digression from a direct line. From that place a, straight line north would be pursued to strike the lake on the east side. — Monon News.
