Continental Railway Proposal Runs Through Kandiyohi County
Gulf Railway asks Kandiyohi to report township valuations to aid bond sales for a large Continental line. Wm T Smith chairs as president with M P Givens as secretary. Proposed route links Hudson Bay to the Gulf and Pacific, passing Roseau, Red Lake Reservation, Willmar, Sleepy Eye, and Emmet County Iowa, with Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri alignments under consideration.
