CAUGHT IN THE CORRIDORS.

NJ Toher. of Owatonna, one of the
board of directors of the Duluth &
Southern railway, was at the Merchants
last evening. 1--WE are sanguine over
the outlook said he, land our affairs
are rapidly assuming definite shape.
The road when completed from Duluth
to Sioux City will run through pros
porous country. 1t will not parallel
any other line, and its natural re-
sources are unsurpassed. We are
erecting the bridge over the river at
ZumbrOta, and will complete the line
from Re d Wing to that point by April
i, and by the 1st of October will have
completed SiXty-fve miles of the line to
Albert Lea. and the other direction will
run the line as far as River Falls. At
that point we will have connection
with Ashland and Duluth, and by
that. means have a direct line
over which to haul our coal.
Atpresent the Northwestern Fuel COM
pany is enabled to control the market
in our section of the country, and to
put up the price accordingly. 1t is inn
possible to say at present where we'll
locate our shops, as they spring up pro-
portionately to the development OF The
road. OF course all towns want the
shops and the number of men who
will be employed will tend to develop
the town where they will be located.
When the line is eventually built from
Duluth to Sioux City we will, of course,
be forced to establish divisions. along
the line No engine should. be run
more than 100 miles without being re-
lieyed, and the eXigencieS of the occa-
sion absolutely require the establish
ment of divisions, and the possibilities
are that the shops will be built at one
of these points"
Mr.. Tober was uncommunlcative as
to the precise location of these divisions,
but from another source it was unot-
fieially learned that they would be es-
tablished at Algona, Owatonna and the
Sioux crossing. By means of this dis
tribution of operating line of the 425
miles between terminals would be equi-
tably distributed.
Deputy Dairy Commissioner Judson
has left the affairs of his department in
excellent order, and his successor, MIR.
Howard, is thereby enabled to learn at
a glance tile exact status of the pending
eases which were left as legacy by the
preceding administration. Mr.. Judson
made an indefatigable and palnstaklng
officer, and his work is highly com
mended by the dairy commission. HE
is an earnest WORKER said Dairy Com
missioner Ives Yesterday, land his zeal
i'll looking after the interests of his
Office after the appointment of his sue
cessor, cannot be too highly commended.
He was terror. to those who broke the
rigid dairy laws of the state, and was
Shrewd and painstaking i'll hunting
down and prosecuting Indicators.
He took personal pride and interest
in his work. which fact alone is guar
antee Of his efficiency"
w. F., Strait, formerly of Shakopee,
but for the last five years a resident of
Billings, Mont. accompanied by t. D.
Strait, of Minneapolis, was in the city
yesterday. Both gentlemen are brothers
of Maj. Strait. and in personal appear
ance resemble the eX-Shakopee con-
gresham. During my residence in
Montana l have been in the stock bus
iness,' said the former, land have
watched with interest its enormous
growth and development. Sheep are
g0odlY source of revenue for us, and
we are now deyOting especial attention
to the breeding of blooded horses. |
see no reason why our future state
should become second to any in the
Ills iCopCCts dc NC YAH -piCCo
as good horses in Montana as are bred
in Kentucky
P. w. Wildt. of Faribault, through
whose benefcent influence Moe now
inhales the breath of life within the
quiet walls of Saltwater, was at the
Merchants yesterday. Mr.. Wildt is
going to Washington for the Inaugural
ton, and with that end in view left last
fFeuing for the Capital City.
Gen. w. F. Cross, of Red Wing. when
interrogated as TO the state of public feel
ing in his section of the state over the
pardon of Hal Reid. said: 1.-The people
of Minnesota elected Gov. Merriam to
do his duty fearlessly and unfinch-
ingly. His course so far shows that he
will notdisappoint them, and very little
interest was manifested by the people
of Red Wing and vicinity as to what
became Of Reid.
The premium list committee OF the
State Agricultural society met at the
Merchants Yesterday afternoon to re-
sumo their =iabors. They will meet
from time 10 time until their work has
been completed.
