point has been tavorably reported on
by Col. Talcott, the representative of

Special to the Sioux City Journal: 1t is
currently reported, and, in fact, there
is good reason to believe that the Chi
Vago, Milwaukee and st. Pau, railroad
intend to extend their Southern Min
nesota line to the Missouri river this
season. \ force CT men will, we I'M
derstand, start a survey from Woon~
socket by May 5. and will run west to
the Washington Hills, striking into
Hay valley at the lone cotton wood, and
sill run down to Crow valley and along
Crow and Smith creeks, striking the
river some six miles south of Fort
Thompson. This line would give us
'irect connection with Sioux City via
Woonsocket, Mitchell and Scotland, and
is just the road we are anxious to get.
4 communication from the president
CT the Duluth, WatertoWn and Pacific,
received few days since, says that
road will surely be completed on the
present or original survey, as far south
@est as the Missouri river in Charles
Mix county this year. Negotiations
for the funds have been completed, and
work will be pushed forward at once.
Grading between Huron and White
Lake will commence early in May, ar
engagements having been made with
the Northwestern for transporting the
material.
