1t is announced by the Sioux City Jour.
nal, on the authority of Superintendent
Merchant, that the Dakota Southern railroad
company has not decided to extend its line
up the Missouri river, but that it has decid-
ed to commence work on its extension up
Jim river. Also that the Pembina branch
will be Immediately pushed up the Big
Sioux from Reloit to Sioux Falls. We hope
the Dakota Southern people may be able to
carry out one or all of these propositions,
but it looks very much as though the Mil
waukee company has checkmated them.
Manager Merrills scheme has developed
itself and he seems to he master of the rail-
road situation in southeastern Dakota. Not
only does he occupy vantage ground against
the Dakota Southern, but against the other
railroad organizations which were feeling
their way into the grain fields of our terri.
tory. I~n.extending his line to Firesteel, Mr..
Merrill occupies a position from which he
can move northward and occupy the upper
Jim valley should the Dakota Southern at
tempt an extension up the Jim. Should the
Dakota Southern choose a northwest route
from Yankton and head towards any point
on the Missouri river in the neighborhood
of Brule City, the Firesteel division of the
Milwaukee road could be pushed in ahead
and the field occupied. The extension of a
line of the Milwaukee road from Finlay to
Maxwell city renders impracticable the ex-
tension of the Dakota Southern to either
Springfield or Niobrara and heads off its
occupancy of the lower Jim river valley. In
one event the Finlay branch would be hur-
ried on to Niebrara and in the other it
would be constructed with equal speed down
the Jim to Yankton. Like difficulties seem
to cumber the progress of the Pembina
branch of the Dakota Southern. The Min
nesota Southern road (Which Is in reality
the property of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul company and will come under the
management of that dictatorship in two or
three y~ears)is being pushed rapidly from near
Heron lake to Flandreau. From that point,
should the Pembina branch make a move
northward, the Minnesota Southern could
be extended in a southerly direction to Sioux
Falls and Beloit and the field occupied. We
can see but one outlet left for the Dakota
Southern to take advantage Of, and that is
across the Missouri at Yankton, southwark
to the Elkhorn valley, from there up the
Niobrara valley and westward to the Black
Hills and the mountains. There is a fertile
field, yielding rich returns, on the Nebras.

The citizens of Canton and the officers Of

the location Of the depot and switch tracks
at that point. It is stated that certain pro-
perty owners offered a bonus of $4,000 and
the right Of way through Lincoln county, il
the company would place its depot at a
specified point in the eastern portion of the
village. This was agreed to and a large
amount of building has been done around
the proposed depot site. 1t now transpires
that the bonus is not forthcoming and Man
aper Merrill is inclined not to build the de-
pot where the Cantonites want it. There is
much excitement at Canton in consequence.

The Sioux City Journal of the Esd,

The Sioux City Journal Of the Esd,
says:
"News came from Yankton yesterday
that the Milwaukee company had put a
force of 200 teams with men in proportion
at work west of the Jim river on the Fin
lay branch. This determines the fact that
Niobrara and not Yankton is the point
aimed at"
This is correct, with the exception that
two hundred teams and a proportionate
number Of men have not gone to work west
of Jim river. on the Finlay branch, and
with the further exception that their not
going to work does not determine that Mo
brara, instead Of Yankton, is the point
aimed at. With these triding corrections
attached the Journal item will be extremely
truthful.
