Division Of county lines is occupying q
great deal of time in the Dakota legisla-
ture As in all cases Of such nature
there is one long howl from certain sec
tions Of each county.
The Canton advocate. [volume] (Canton, D.T. [S.D.]) 1877-1897, 1885-01-29

There is some talk of removing the
machine shops, round house and other
division buildings of the Milwaukee rail-
way company to more convenient west
ern point than Sanborn. In The first place
the location at Sanborn was made through
the influence of the division superintend-
ent with like name. since which time
the water facilities have proven totally in
adequate for the business of the company.
Coupled with this difficulty comes the in
convenience of the division being located
at such distance from their Dakota lines,
and from the fact that Sanborn is entirely
too near the next eastern division. Now
this would be of little interest to the peo-
pie of Canton if it were not for the posi-
bility arising that the company may yet
make change in their permanent location
of passenger and freight division, and
that Canton might offer superior induce
ments in the way of location and subsidies
for the establishment of their Dakota
headquarters at the gateway to their
immense territory. The location is such
as would do away with the necessity
of the company spending extra money
on division buildings for their Sioux City
and Dakota and Yankton branches, and
this point could easily be made a junction
for the centrifcation Of their business in
western Iowa and Southern Dakota. The
entire railway dining feature Of the rail-
road business should naturally center at
Canton, no less than six trains having run
into this city daily the past year precisely
at nooa and at supper time, In short, the
-,.>t>...l f.vilioic., lo0uJfUI1 anu 5UrrvoufurU-
es for the division point of the Milwau-
kee company are found in Canton, and
should the company at any future time
find it their interest to change their loca-
ton from Sanborn the city of Canton
will feel that they have a pretty strong
hand to present for recognition.

The removal bill is taking a rest. By
flank movement last Friday North Da-
kota secured temporary victory, and for
the present the bill is sleeping. Picker,
who first introduced the Pierre bill, offer
ed an amendment last Friday substituting
the town of Ordway for that of Pierre.
Mr.. Huetson, of this county, in voting for
the amendment, stated that he favored a
removal Of the capitol to South Dakota,
but not in the manner in which the pres
ent removal was contemplated. The bill
of two years ago he considered iniquitous,
but thought the scheme Of to-day still
more inquitous, being in the interests Of
Pettigrew and Prentice to secure boom
for the townsite of Pierre. Mr.. Huetson
reflected upon the honesty of Mr.. Petit
grew, and was answered by the latter gen.
tleman iu short, pointed speech. Mr..
Pettigrew stated he would favor removal
to Huron, Mitchell, Canton, or even YaDk-
ton, and that he was not interested at
Pierre to very great extent. BY the
votes of Mr.. Huetson of Lincoln. BoWdle
of Davidson and Wagner of Bon Homme,
combined with the solid north the Ordway
amendment was carried in the council,
which kills the bill as at present constltu-
ted. Mckenzie claimed to have effected
a combination whereby the United States
court will be removed from Yankton to
Mitchell, and all the capitol removers will
be punished. In substantiation of Nc
Kenzie's claims as to court removal comes
the vote of Mr.. Bowdle with the north.
In Lincoln county there is great deal OF
comment in regard to Mr.. Huetson's ac-
ton, and in the absence of direct explain
alton of his course there is drift OF un-
favorable sentiment toward the gentleman.
The ADVOCATE believes that MIR. Huet
son is acting entirely upon conscientious
principles: and that he either believes or
knows the Pierre bill to be "a townsite
booming scheme. In such case even
the most ardent South Dakot supporter
would hesitate before removing the capi-
tol without subsidies, and upon delibera-
ton would favor temporary cessation of
the removal discussion. There are too
many rival towns in South Dakota each
striving for the capitol plum to admit of a
permanent location at this particular time,
and we believe a temporary location at
Yankton the best passib!e way out of the
difficulty. At any rate it is believed that
the present bill will not pass.
