THE BLAIR PARTY.
What they Told a Journal Man After
their Return to Sioux City
from DakOt

"hat tney IOlO q journal Man After
their Return to Sioux City
from Dakota.
Sioux City Journal. Goth.
After a trip over the Dakota Southern and
Pembina railroads and through a portion of
the Jim river valley, Mr.. John I. Blair and
other prominent railroad officials arrived in
this city yesterday morning, and in the aft
ernoon a meeting was held in the office of
the Dakota Southern for the purpose Of de-
termining what should be done with regard
to the proposed e1tenson of these roads.
In order to ascertain what action had been
taken in the matter, a Journal reporter last
evening called upon Mr.. Blair, Mr.. Wicker
and Mr.. Merchant, and was at first informed
that no positive arrangements bad been en-.
tered into, and consequently they were not
prepared to make any statement. Subse-
quently, however, Mr.. Blair said that if
certain subsidies were granted these roads.
including the granting Of right of way, the
building of a depot between Capital and
Third streets, on the north side ofthe Rhine,
Yankton, he (Mr. Blair) would take an i'm.
mediate and active interest in both of these
roads, and the work of extension would be
commenced at once and the road pushed
rapidly forward. Mr.. Blair further stated
that Mr.. Wicker was authorized to act for
him in this matter.
From a semi-oficial source we learn that
subsequent to our reporters interview with
the above named gentlement, the papers
giving Mr.. Blair an interest in both Of these
roads were made out and signed by the
proper persons, and that the work of extern
sion on both roads will be commenced at an
early day, ard that the Pembina road will
be pushed to Sioux Falls before cold
weather.
Chief Engineer Wattles returned yester.
day from a preliminary survey Of the pro
posed Pembina extension, and recommend,
the following line: Running due west five
miles from Beloit, the present terminus
thence due north TO Sioux Falls, ~crossin.
the Milwaukee road about the center O
Lincoln county. This route will doubles
be adopted.
Further developments will be awai,e,
with interest.
Nj. Blair left for his home in New Jerse,
by the early Sioux City and Pacific trail
this morning.

mischief was instituted, and had it been
successful, which it was not, his mother
would not have been able to find enough of
him to cry over. 1t was a good egg.
