THE ELECTION TO MORROW.

Its Importance to the Commercial Inter
ests Of tho City OF Yankton.
The election tomorrow upon the propo-
alton to issue the bonds of the city to secure
the completion to Yankton,of a branch Of
the Milwaukee road, is the most important
in a material point of view that has ever
Q :curred 10 Yankton. Upon the success Of
the proposition not only depends the speedy
building Of the Eden branch of the Nil
yankee road, but the construction to Yank.
ton. Of other lines Of great importance to
the commercial interests of our city. The
extension of the Minnesota Southern road
from Sioux Falls to Yankton, giving us a
direct communication with St. Paul, Duluth
and the pineries of Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin, and for yhich a survey has already been
made, will be completed the coming season
provided the first named road is built. The
6rst makes the second a necessity to complete
the projected ystem Of the Milwaukee COM
pany without the first the second will not
be built. With these roads completed one
or more of the roads now under construc-
ton northward from the Union Pacific will
be compelled to reach the Missouri river at
Green Island on the opposite bank of the
river, and there will necessarily follow a
road in the jim river valley connecting
Yanktou with the Northern Pacific and the
great grain fields Of the northern portion Of
The territory.
With this system which will inevitably
result from the construction of the first
named road, Yankton will become the
commercial centre Of the most extensive
and productive sections of the northwest,
and it requires no prophet to ~foretell the
growth in wealth, business and population
which will then be our portion. All these
advantages depend upon the success Of the
bond proposition tomorrow. Hence it
becomes the duty of every friend of our
city's prosperity to devote his energies to-
morrow towards securing 4 decided majority
in favor Of the bonds.

Martin Reals, freighter on this route, met
with a serious loss on Cheyenne river the

furniture, was entirely destroyed by fire. at
least nothing was left of the wagon but the
running gear. The trail wagon was ur.
coupled and run back out Of danger and
that was all they could do, the FIRE having
gained such Roadway before being discov-
cred. 1t is supposed that the wagon sheet
caught fire from the sparks coming from
the chimney Of the ranch. 1t is . hard blow
on Mr.. Reals, as it will take all of his last
summers earnings to make good the loss.

A considerable opposition to the propo-
sition, to be voted upon tomorrow, to Issue
the bonds of the city in aid of railroad de-
.velopmenta, has manifested itself. This OPP
position is led by c. F. Rossteuecher and is
mainly confined 10 the class Of men who
are susceptible ofhis influences. The course
taken by him is induced by short-sighted
self interest. He is the owner of a brewery
and imagines that the new road will bring to
Yankton cheaper Milwaukee beer, which
will injure his business. Upon this narrow
basis he predicates his opposition, and, we
regret to say, that a considerable number of
men have been led astray by his sophistry.
We do not think this community can afford
to sacrifice all its interest in the future for
the sake Of one or two men who are endeav.
oringt TO create a monopoly, which, even if
itw.s created by such means, would be.
come WORTHLESS. through the decay Of all our
business interests.
