Senator Voorhees, ana other promi--
nent democrats at Washington say there
ID no foundation for the statement that
there is scheme on foot for their party
to secure majority by admitting Wash
ington territory to statehood and thus
two senators. through an understanding
whereby bills for the admission OF both
Dakota and Washington have passed
the senate and now await the action of
the house. 1t is true, they state, that
the democrats could take advantage of
the republicans By getting control of
the senate, but they disclaim any such
intention as it was we'll understood at
the time the republicans in the senate
voted to admit Washington democratic
territory, that 1t was done to offset Da-
kota politically. 1t is lntimated by
Washington democrats that tbs nres;.,. r,s,.
dent would not sign the Bill admitting
Washington ;f-advantage was taken Of
the situation and Dakota was refused
admission at the same time.

COMING RAILROADS.


An Outline of tho BuildIng Contem-
plated for Next Year.
Sioux Falls Press.. %: If the pres,
ent Indications are to be at oil re1a,T,ss Tsd I
upon, Dakota will see an unprecsyd & a.
boom in railway building 1ext year
Great as has been her receyrd This yoor
1t Will be nothing compared with tho
one she will make iI,ass7. & 1851 The various
roads are preparing for grand advance
in every direction, The Manitoba line
alone is making preparations for build
ing some hundreds of miles of new line.
The road appreciates the advantage OF
being early IN the field and has already
arranged for the issue of new bonds to
aupply tie requisite capital for the
undertaking. In fact it is altogether
probable that oil the desirable lands In
the territory will be covered by a net
work of railway by the close of 1887, as
the Milwaukee and the Northwestern, as
we'll as the Manitoba, are preparing to
extend their branches in all directions.
Among the new lines contemplated BY
the Manitoba is the Willmar and Sioux
Fails, which will to be sure to have but
short mileage in the territory Yet It
will undoubtedly 40 on to. the Missouri
river, at or near Yankton. Graders have
been at work on this line in Minnesota
all the fall, and 40 the line, is located az
Sioux Falls, it will probably be built to
this point by the close ofthe year.
Still another line to- be built by the
Manitobs is the Watertown and Huron
line. This l:ne will eventually be pushed
on to Fort Thompson and then through
to the Black Hills when the reservation
is opened. The building of these two
lines ia ina measure in the nature of
reprisal, aa the two roads that have
hitherto controlled the traffic OF south
Dakota-the Milwaukee and the North
western-are both enrcachlng upon the
Manitobain north Dakota. &
Probably the longest line to be built
| by this corporation next year is it's Fort
Buford line. This road will run from
Devils Lake straight across the territory
to the mouth of the, Yellowstone ct Fort
Buford, passing through Benson, De
Smet, McHenry, Stevens, Montraille,
Fiannery and Buforda oounties. The
total length OF the line will be something
like $50 miles, and it will pass through
q section Of the territory whore there il
mot now rfllroad within 100 miles.
The Milwaukee company will COM
toI, two thirds Of which is already built.
This line will form part OF the second
great road between the north and south
and will strike the Northern Pacific al

The newspapers of Omaha, more
especially the Bee, are keeping alive the
proposition to make an important raiI-,
road center of that city and scarcely q
day passes without an editorial presen-
tation of one or more OF the phases of
the situation. In the Bee Of the Both
we find the following: 8
An extension OF the Missouri Pacific
northward towards Yankton Is the SEQ.
ond line which Omaha needs and whose
CONSTRUCTION would be of material and
immediate benefit to our citizens. Doug
las county can afford to pay reasonable
subsidy for its construction if it cannot
secure it otherwise. It will tap terri
tory which is now served by Sioux City
and Chicago to the exclusion of Omaha
jobbers and open up to our merchants
one OF the richest portions of the state.
1t makes little difference who builds the
road, so long as it is built in the direc.
tion suggested and with Yankton or the
Dakota line as its terminus. II would
pay handsome returns to Omaha from
the start.
The fact that s. S. 81. Clark has been
appointed general manager Of the Mis-
souri, Pacific renders the consummation
OF this project more probable than ever
before. Mr.. Clark has long favored the
Yankton extension and a few years ago
went so far as to make reconnaissance
OF the route in the Jay Gould interest
fankton has already been active IN the
interest OF this line and continued
activity at this juncture will be liable tc
bring tangible results.

Telegerams are pouring into the white
house from Dakota recommending for

Day is stalwart democrat and is very
