Lines will Connect.

Ihe plans OF the milwaukee and
Northern Pacific roads for exten.
sion in southern North Dakota in
clude a junction of the two lines
at Linton, one Of the new Mil.
waukee stations in Emmons coun-
ty. It is asserted that the Mil
waukee will run its train into Bis
marck over the Northern Pacific
from Linton.
The Northern Pacific will prob
ably build its new extension from
Mckenzie, a station east of Bis
marck, south and southwest to a
junction with the Milwaukee at
Linton, N. D. The Milwaukee
line will be extended to a point
near the southern boundry of the
state in Emmons county, and from
there east and northeast to con-
meet with the Northern Pacific's
present line at Edgeley. This is
also the terminus of the Milwaukee
line north from Aberdeen.
By the arrangement at Linton it
is said that the completion of the
Milwaukee to Bismarck or any
other point in that part of North
Dakota will be delayed several
years. The Milwaukee seeks sim
ply to secure it's share Of the traffic
from the Missouri slope and the
arrangement with tbs Northern
Pacific, in the judgment of it's Of
fcials, will suffice for several years
to come.
It is conceded that this activity
is the result Of the 500 roads ex-
tension toward the Missouri river
last year and the fact that the 500
is to build more lines this year. It
is considered a "cinch" in railway
circles that the 500 will build into
Bismarck before the end of 1902,
complete its Missouri river ex:en-
sion to the river bank in Emmons
county, N. d., and extend from
Ashley or some other nearby
point on it's line into Aberdeen.
By harmonious traffic arrange
ments between the Milwaukee and
the Northern Pacific South d.
kota will be given a new route to
the Puget Sound country. It is ex-
pected that this route will attract
business from as far south as north
western Iowa.
: This arrangement is regarded
as significant of friendly relations
between the Milwaukee systems
and the merger roads of James T.
Hill, of which the Northern Pa
cifc is one. The combination ex:
poets to keep the 500 from carry
ing off the lions share of the traf-
fc in northern South Dakota and
Southern North Dakota, Until
the 500 cut into that section last
year, the Milwaukee had contem-
plated no extension from Eureka
or any other point in that county.
The immense grain and live stock
yield of that section had been car
ried principally by the Milwaukee
for years. Eureka, its terminus in
Mcpherson county, s. d., had
been known for years as receiving
the largest amount of grain from
farmers wagons of any market in
the world. So large had it's grain
business grown that forty-three
elevators were necessary to handle
the receipts. When the first 500
train ran over the new Missouri
river extension these houses began
to5close, until, it is claimed that
of them were forced out of
business and the prairie breezes
whistled through. their empty bins,
