Sioux City Journal.
The Journal is heartily glad that the Co.
vington, Columbus & Black Hills railroad,
on the Nebraska side of the Missouri river
from Sioux City, has become the property of
the st. Paul & Sioux City company. The
Covington road is Sioux City enterprise.
The name represents the SCOPE of the work
It's projectors had in view. They proposed
to build to Columbus, to connection with
| the Union Pacific road, while another line
was intended for the Black Hills via Niobra-
ra. Misfortune soon overlook the company,
| and bankruptcy followed, with the line in
operation only as far as Ponca in Dixon
county. The plans of the founders of the
| road will IN no essential particular be fol-
lowed by the st. Paul company. The rail
ROAD situation in northern Nebraska has been
materially changed since the Oovineton
road was projected. The rapid building of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul COM
pany in Dakota westward, in connection
with its obvious plans for the future, to-
gether with the extensions of branch lines
from the Sioux City & Pacific and the
Union Pacific, have exerted material influ-
ence in changing the aspect of northern Me-
braska as field for railroad operations. It
is not now to be expected that the Covington
road will be built either to Niobrara or to
Columbus. We have no authority for the
statement, but the indications are that the
Union Pacific and the St. Paul & Sioux City
companies are working in northern Ne

valley, there to connect with the Black Hills
branch of the Union Pacific, while the other
arm of the road will probably be on the line
the Union Pacific company is now
surveying from Fremont, via West
Point, to Sioux City. There are
many reasons in favor of the plausibility of
the theory here advanced. The active rivals
for northwestern business against which
both the Union Pacific and the st. Paul &
Sioux City now have to contend are the
Chicago & Northwestern and the Chicago,
Milwaukee q st. Paul. The Sioux City &
Pacific, with it's Nebraska division, is no
more than northwestern feeder. The Mil
Waukee company is pushing westward on a
central line between the Union Pacific and
the Northern Pacific and is threatening to
absorb large amount of business that has
hitherto been tributary to the Union Pacific
company. These same companies, in Da-
kot a and Minnesota, have been struggling to
take to themselves the local traffic of the st.
Paul q Sioux City, to cut off it's extensions,
and to finally take from it the cream of it's
through business. It became nec-
sary for both companies to
take active measures for self
protection. The St. Paul & Sioux City
had seen its danger from the first and it has
been making most.heroic contest against the
great corporations with which it has to con-
tend. Thus it built the Sioux Falls branch
the Blue Earth branch, the Heron Lake
branch and the Rock River branch, all leav-
ing the main line in Minnesota: and so the
Union Pacific, during the past year or two
has been active in putting out feeders from
its maiu line in Nebraska. The Union Pa
citic has no rival in Nebraska that it so
much dislikes as the Sioux City & Pacific.
In law it is q part of the Union Pacific sys-
tenn, while in fact it is exclusively part of
the Chicago Il Northwestern system. It has
afforded the st. Paul q Sioux City the only
outlet to the South and to the West from this
city, and the Union Pacific, therefore. has had
no part of the lumber trade except such as the
Northwestern was compelled to give it. At
the same time, the St. Paul and Sioux City
here has been locked up with the Iowa pool
roads, because it has been dependent upon
these roads for all its connections. Self-in-
terest and self-protection have brought the
Union Pacific and the St. Paul and Sioux
City together, and by the Nebraska conneo-
tons which they propose both will be freed
of bondage that has been CALLING to- them.
The st. Paul and Sioux City can be of vast
benefit to the Union Pacific, giving it a
chance to compete for Northern Pacific
business and for the west
ern business of the Milwaukee
road, as we'll as giving it another outlet to
the lakes. On the other hand the Union
Pacific, Of course, can be of immense bene-
fit to the st. Paul and Sioux City company,
for it will open wide and growing territory
to the lumber trade of the northwest,
and in fact make great
through line from St. Paul to San Francisco.
That such an alliance as we have outlined
has been formed, we say we do not profess to
know; we only judge from the signs the COM
panies have displayed and from what seems
to us to be the mutual interest of both cor
porations. The Union Pacific is looking for
freedom from the Iowa pool. It is looking
south as we'll as north. We anticipate that
the St. Paul & Sioux City will soon become
an active and aggressive competition for the
grain-carrying trade of this neighborhood.
More than that, we shall expect it to become
an important line for the shipment hither
and westward of the heavy freights of the mer-
chants. We expect it will develop as an agency
| of relief from the onerous burdens now
resting upon our people in consequence of
the extortionate rates of the Chicago lines,
The people in the neighboring counties of
Nebraska are also especially to be coneratu-
lated upon the railroad prospects now before
them. There can be no doubt that the St.Paul
and Sioux City will 60 actively to work there
to develop the systems it may be determined
upon, and the result will be to give them
first class railroad facilities at the hands of
the most popular corporation with the peo-
pie OF which we have any knowledge in the
| northwest. The future of northern Nebras-
| ka, as we view it, is very bright. Out of all
the bOthers, vexatiOns and years of WAITING
have come now days of promise such as have
never appeared before.
