THE CREIGHTON CONNECTION.

An Argument In Favor OF the COnstruotiO1
Of . South Line OF Road.
TsaAs Prsss asd DsAssstea.
In your issue of March 2nd, you say in
your local news column: ut 10 whis.
pered that the Sioux City and Pacific
northern branch will meet the North
western at Yankton, via Creighton"
These whisperings are of vital impor.
tance to the future prosperity of Yank-
'on. If the citizens of Yankton can turn
those whispers into absolute action, it
secures to Yankton . certain and sure
triumph Of being for all time to come q
railroad center. Yankton is sure Of her
direct connection to Chicago through
Sioux City. Her northern connection is
certain. Her western connection up the
Missouri is only a question of time; now,
ifshs secures southern and southeastern
outlet, she is beyond all controversy in
. position to command country enough,
trade enough to make . very large and
PROSPEROUS city.
1t has been suggested to me by few
Of your citizens (having some experience
in starting new railrosdO to urge the
people to take hold of . road from Yank-
ton to Oakland. This suggestion Of
yours in the most practical and feasible
suggestion I have yet noticed. I am
we'll acquainted with the country be-
tween Yankton and Creighton, and it is
the best If not the only practical way to
get out of Yankton south. Starting up
the Green Island valley, at the head Of
the valley there is small stream that
comes into tho Missouri river from the
southwest, and heads out towards Bly,
vile. tits an easy grade from Bly,
vile to the valley Of the Middle Bow.
Bazile creek heads but few miles south
west of Middle Bow, and the valley Of
Bazile creek leads southwest towards Ba-
zile Mills and Creighton. The soil and
sub-soil Of the entire ro1te 10 OF the light
est grade I have ever seen. The grading
can b all done with pillow and scraper.
This line takes in as fine tract OF
country as any in the whole entire state
Of Nebraska. If Yankton gets the road
and becomes great grain and cattle
market, she secures the trade of the east
ern part of Knox and the western part OF
Cedar counties. She has something far
beyond this-another independent line to
all the eastern cities.
I am told that the Burlington and Mis-.
souri, and also the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy are indirectly, if not direct
ly intereated in the road to Creighton. II
that is go. the Chicago. Burlington and
Quincy connects with the Wabash and
st. Louis to al the eastern markets. II
may be that l over estimate the impor.
tance Of this enterprise, but I am certain
that it il worthy the consideration of the
leading citizens of Yankton, and to make
. very decided effort to induce the Sioux
City and Pacific road to build branch
of this road, at least, il not the main line,
from Creighton to Yankton.
Tho Northwestern on this side, and the
Sioux City and Pacific 90 the other,
brings you railroad bridge before many
years. JNo. T. LINDSAY.

They agreed to this and every month
there would be two bills presented-ons
