Probabilities are Strong for the
Milwaukee Pushing Through

pairing to Duild from South Dakota
to Puget Sound within two years.
Agents have purchased 400 acres of

of the ST. ha.I road spent two days
~ conference with John Bagley,
manager and builder of the Tacoma
Eastern. Northwest lumbermen
have been urging President Earring
and Chairman Miller to extend their
road to the coast, pointing out that
they would secure, to start with,
lumber traffic of at least 30, 900 car
loads annually.
1t is believed that the st. Paul
will reach Portland over the Harri-
man line from the Snake river ter
ritory and will build ii line from
Columbia river to Puget Sound,
which may be jointly used Icy the
Milwaukee and Hartman system.
The foregoing locks o like
business than anything that has
yet appeared. 1t is we'll known by
those close to the officials of the
company that the G. M. s. st. Paul
has definitely decided to cross the
Missouri at CHAMBERLAIN, and possibly
at Evarts also; and President Earl
ing's frequent visits out to the Pacific
coast Of late, coupled with the news
from Tacoma, gives much color to
the report that the Milwaukee will
not stop at the Black Hills when
once it starts west.
There are those who imagine that
the Milwaukee will make some kind
OF a erand-stand play Of this kind to
catch votes for Mitchell. Much as
tue company would probably apprec-
late a vote of public confidence Dy
placing the capital at Mitchell and
allowing it to share what capital
business there is with the North
Western, the extension Of it's line to
the Pacific coast, or even to the
Black Hills, is too vast an undertake
ing to warrant the Milwaukee in
starting the work p%rematurely. But
that the extension is a sure 20 with
in two years is as certain as anything
we'll can be.

AHEAD OF AN1IclpA1loNs
Woman's Professorship Association
Does More Than 1t Started
Out to Accomplish.

A year ago the Woman's Profess
orship Association was established
in this city as AN aid to the Univer-
sity. It's annual meeting has just
b cen held and a report of what has
been accomplished in its first year
made. 1t was the purpose of the
members to raise the first year the
sum of $3.50. Twenty-Five ladies
assumed the responsibility OF secur-
ing ten members who would pay 81
each, which would raise the requir-
ed sum-.
In February the ladies we're put
on their mettle to do a little more
than was at first hoped for. AT that
time Prof. and Mis-. Z. a. Duncan
offered to give 300 if the association
would raise $500 i'm place of $3.50.
A meeting was called and the pro-
position made plain to the members.
1t was decided to undertake it, and
this will explain why the ladies
have been called upon for more help
than was at first intended, but they
have been very generous in their
support and much credit is due Mrs.
j. L.. Lardner, the presidnt for her
untiring and efficient efforts for what
has been accomplished.
At the meeting the treasurer re-
ported that the $500 had been raised
and was in the bank and with tile
800 donated by Prof. and Mrs. Dun
can makes their first years work a
magnificent success. Mrs. f. f.
Reamer resigned as vice president
and Mrs. j.. L. Morrow was elected.
