According to the journal of Wednesday
the railroad controversy between the Sioux
City and Pacific and the Sioux City 4 Dako-
ia regarding the use of the yard in Sioux
City by cars belonging TO the Chicago. Mil
waukee & ST. Paul company has reached a
climax. The Milwaukee, folks are beaten
md the Wicker side al the Dakota owner.
ship is ala, compelled to yield. The Jour
says that Superintendent Merchant OF the
Sioux Ci,y aud Dakota road has notified the
Milwaukee company that hereafter he can
not rec i've cars from that road at Canon,
for Sioux City. The reason Unsigned IL that
the Sioux Cuy and Pacific ompan refuse
the use OF their yard in that city 10 the Da.
kota line unless it stops bringing in the
Milwaukee cars Mr.. Blair, who is Mr..
Wicker's partner in the ownership of the
Dakota lines, also owns a large interest in
the Sioux City and Pacific and this new
attitude of the contest indicates that.
the former does not favor the arrangement
made for running cars from the Milwaukee
road into Sioux City over the Dakota road.
Mr.. Wicker, having a three years. grip
upon the management Of the Dakota lines,
was able to override the wishes of his part
ner, Nj. Blair, and the latter was compelled
70 bring to bear his influence with the Sioux
City 4 Pacific to induce the Sioux City and
Dakota management to come to terms. The
people Of Sioux City are fretting themselves
over this Blair victory. The Journal says
that q talk with some of the heavy shippers
Of the city shows that they are firm in the
belief that if it is only a yard of its own that
is needed by the Dakota line to insure the
coming in Of the Milwaukee company as a
competitor for Sioux City business, that the
matter can be arranged by the city and by
the citizens. The Second street track, on
which the Dakota line now has equal rights
with the st. Paul, would of course have to
be made the track to a new depot and a new
yard. The matter would be attended with
some present Inconvenience and ex-
pense to both the road and the city, but
if it will bring in the Milwaukee compe.
tition and bring it in to stay, this will
be readily submitted to. The Journal
argues that the S.. Paul road has q conncc-
ton Of its " with Chicago and it is pos
sib!e that something IN Chit be worked uI
10 the way of through rates over tha road
The Journal IS prolific in imprac,icable re.
sources for the relief Of its people, hut the
grasp OF q gigantic monopoly is upon their
Threats and in a very short time they will
not have ieft enough strength TO squirm,
The new arrangement is another indication
that Mr.. B'.,r will not permit the sale O.
the Sioux Falls branch of the Sioux City
