Watertown dispatch, 6: Gov. Mellette
C. @. Church, G. w. Stutenroth, w. r
Thomas, and John r. Brock win repre-
sent Watertown at the railroad meeting
at Madison ON the 10th inst, to organize
q subsidiary company to construct q line
from Hankinson to Yankton. Our peo,
pie are very much enthused on the sub
ject, as intelligence has come Of the quiet
organization of q similar company in
Nebraska to take up the line in Yankton
and carry it across that state.
Speaking Of the new 500 railroad line
the Arlington Sun OF the 9th says: Ar.
lington being On IN air line between
WATERFOWL and Madison will il this road
is ever built be practically sure to get it,
and a meeting was held last Wednesday
evening and A. ID. Maxwell was elected
a delegate to attend the meeting called
at Madison. While some insist that a
cross road would be q damage to the
town, we fail to see the force of their
arguments, and believe that no efforts
should be spared towards securing it il
possible. This road IL built ON the pro.
posed route will pass through the very
best portions OF Codington, Hamlim
Kingsbury and Lake counties and il
must be conceded these are among the
very best counties OF the state. fIt
would certainly be q paying route and
: we see no reason why we may not rea
sonably expect it to be built and in
operation in the near future.
