C.. T. Hatch, president of the Wisconsin.
Minnesota u Pacific railway, and C. j. Ives,
president of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids s.
Northern, held a conference for the purpose
of considering the plans for building Jointly
a new line from Watertown, Dakota, to Bis
marck Dakota, on the Northern Pacific. AS
stated yesterday, the Burlington, Cedar Rap
ids u Northern is now building an extension
from Lake Park, Iowa, to Watertown, dis
tance of 100 miles, which will be completed
by next October. The Wisconsin, Mime
sofa 81 Pacific has also now in course of con-
struction line from Morton, Mimi, the
western end of the Minneapolis & St. Louis,
line to Watertown. Dakota, distance of
1s5 miles. At4his latter point the two roads
join, and from there they viii build Jointly to
Bismarck, q distance of about e25 miles.
This extension will give the Burlington
Cedar Rapids s. Northern direct line to
Bismarck from Chicago, Burlington, Cedar
Rapids, etc, ,and the Minneapolis i st. Louis
willsecure direct outlet to Bismarck from
st. Paul. As these extensions run through
the most fertile section Of Dakoto they ex
pect to secure large traffic when completed.
and both the Burlington, Cedar Rapids &
Northern and Minneapolis & st. Louis roads
win be greatly benefited by materially short
ening their routes to Oregon and the Pacific
coast. The surveys on the new extension
from Watertown to Bismarck are now BEING
made, and active work of construction will
be commenced early in the spring and the
line completed during the summer.
