Decided to build from Madison to Fond du Lac.
Oconto, Wis., Sept.11. - From a well known railway official it was learned today that the Illinois Central Railway Company has practically decided to extend its line from Madison to Fond du Lac, thus extending the plan to make Fond Du Lac a big railway center.
It is part of the scheme to make both the Wisconsin Central and Illinois Central Railroad feeders from Fond Du Lac to Manitowoc with the car ferry route to Ann Arbor, Mich.
