Milwaukee, WI April 22 - efforts are being made by Green Bay, Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, and Appleton , WI to secure an extension of the Illinois Central lines from Madison north 300 miles to tap this part of the state. It is said that the only danger that the Illinois Road may refuse to accept the inducement lies in the fact that by so doing it will be brought into competition with the Wisconsin Central. The Wisconsin Road reaches three of the cities and has communication direct with the other. This situation involves the report of a pending combination in these interests.
