HURLEY'S CHANCE.

She Can Secure the Sioux Falls
and Yankton Link Of the |
Duluth and Denver
Railroad.
Much has been said and published
during the past few months In regard
to the Sioux Falls and Yankton link of |
the railroad system which is to connect
Duluth with DenYer and the great
southwest. Several surveys have been
made between Sioux Falls and Yank-
ton, and there has been much specula-
tion as when the line would be built
and where it would be located.
Last week new line was run, pass
ing through Hurley. thence in
southerly direction past the western
extremity of Swan Lake. and going out
Of the county near the residence Of
Joel Fry in section 81, township 96,
range SO. The surveyors completed
their work and returned to Sioux Falls
Sunday.
Monday Mr.. Z. A. Sherman, of Sioux
Falls, and Mr.. II. r. Cobb, capitalist
of Boston, Mass, who is to furnish the
money with which to build the road,
drove over the line of this new survey
from Sioux Falls to Hurley, taking the
evening train here for Yankton. These
gentlemen were well pleased with what
they saw, aud Mr.. Sherman said:
I'VE now have a guarantee of the
right-of-way through Turner county
over the Darling survey; but, if Hurley
and the citizens along the line of the
survey just made will guarantee us the
right-of-way over that line, the road
will be built through Hurley, provided
Yankton makes good her promises"
Here, gentlemen, is the situation.

Will those interested now take hold of
the matter and push it to successful
termination?
The Herald says yes! Hurley and
its friends have never been lacking in
enterprise and push when they had
work to do, and there will be no hold
ing back now. While the building of
this line will be OF great benefit to
Hurley. it is the farmers and producers
who will reap the greater benefit. 1t
| will give them Duluth as a competing
market for their grain, and place them
within less than two hours haul of
Sioux Falls mammoth packing house.
Grading will commence by June 1st
and the road will be completed to Yank
ton by the first of October. The road
is sure to be built, and HURLEY
MUST. HAVE IT.
