FIRST SHIPMENT ON A NEW WESTERN ROAD
Marinette, Wis. Oct. 17 - The first shipment was made yesterday on the new Wisconsin & Michigan Railway.  This line extends from the Soo road on the north to Peshtigo, and over the Chicago, Milwaukee, & St. Paul to Marinette on the south.  It will make close connections with the Soo road and the Toledo and Ann Arbor car-ferry line in Menominee.  It is designed in this way to open up a new route to the Eastern Seaboard.
