Much in the Way of Improvements
Will he Accomplished This
Season on Both Roads.

The Milwaukee and Omaha roads
have mapped out a number of i'm
provements for this season that will
be Of great value to Mitchell. 1t is
given out on pretty good authority
that beginning April 1st the Milwau-
kee road will establish two new pas
senger trains in and out Of the city,
which will add greatly to the facil-
titles Of the travelling public. For
years the Milwaukee has run a pas
senger train between Yankton and
Sioux City, leaving the former place
in the morning and returning in the
evening. This train will be started
from Mitchell in the morning and
make the round trip to Sioux City,
thus giving Mitchell and those liv-
ing along the route an opportunity to
spend the day at Sioux City and re-
turn home in the evening. The
other passenger train will be contin-
ued here from Sanborn, Iowa, and
will be a through tram to Chicago.
1t will leave at an early hour i'm the
morning and reach here about mid
night. One OF the most important
things that will be done 10y the Mil
waukee road in the way of improve
ments this season will be the con-
struction of . new depot. That this
project will be taken up at an early
date there is no doubt. The officials
expect to put up a building that will
cost about $25, 600 and will be con-
structed on lines of their latest de-
pot buildings. Either stone or
pressed brick will be used for struc-
tural material. The location of the
depot will be changed to a site a lit
tie further north than the present
building. so that there will be no
TIA, ks between the city and the de-
pot. The Importance of Mitchell as
one OF the leading towns in the west
ern division of the road entities it to
something better than the facilities
that have answered for a good many
years. a freight depot will also be
erected to more fully meet the de-
mands of the increased traffic.
The Omaha officials have also out
lined considerable work in the way
of Improvements for Mitchell this
season. The recent burning Of the
depot will require the erection of a
new structure, and it is pretty we'll
understood that a building OF much
more p%letentions will grace the old
site. The fact that a surveyor was
here to secure sewer connections
leads to the belief that d fine build
ing will he erected. and this is in
creased by the Statements which have
an official bearing that Mitchell
will be we'll taken care of in this
project. The depot will very likely
be constructed OF stone or pressed
brick. hut it is a matter which yet
bias no en- settled as to whether
the ? neer and freight depot will
separate or placed in one building.
Other improvements that have been
outlined by the Omaha is the in
crease in the time of running its
morning passenger train. Just as
soon as the weather becomes favor
able a large force CT men will be put
to work surfacing the track between
Mitchell and Hartford and being put
in condition so that the trains can
be sent along at faster speed. After
this is accomplished it is the inten-
ton of the company to cut the rum
ing time of the passenger trains be-
tween Mitchell and Worthington an
hour and a half, and making the
time between Sioux Falls and Mitch
ell Just two hours.
With these Improvements accomp-
lished Mitchell will be on a par with
any city in the state in its train SER
vice, and the cases will be very few
J where they are any better.
