December 24, 1887 Saturday

The M&N has built to Champion, connecting there with the

DSS&A, there gaining an entrance to all the thriving towns in

the upper pensinsula, and giving that section of the country

a direct line to Milwaukee. With the completion of the "Soo!

road there is no reason why Detroit should get a dollar's

worth of the Peninsula's business. It belongs to Milwaukee, and

if the Milwaukee merchants will out look to it they will get it.

The M&N has made this possible by commendal enterprise which at

present, is better appreciated up North than it is here.

Milwaukee must get a "move on herself." Three years from
January 1, 1888, Gladstone will do the "Peninsula business"
herself. She is nearer the Peninsula than either Milwaukee or
Detroit.
