Plans for Railroad Construction
in This Section.
HILL TO BUILD 400 MILES OF LINE

Probability that the Grade Between
This City and Yankton viii be Used
Either by Hill or the Yankton &
Gulf-Conection With Burlington.
Information from Yanliton is that
the Great Northern surveyors are
working at point on the bank where
the old Yanliton and Norfolk grade
meets the river. This grade runs
from Gankton in the direction of
Omaha and was a part of an old
scheme to build Yankton. Omaha
line.
Omaha Bee Dec. 2l A report has
been received in Omaha to the eff
feet that James J. Hill, to round out
the Northern Securities Company's
properties, will build during the next
year about 400 miles of railroad in
Nebraska for the purpose of connect
ing the Burlington with the Great
Northern.
one line, it is said, will extend from
Omaha to Yankton, S. d., and another
will be built from Ericsson, Neb., to
Yankton. These two lines, it is fig
ured, will furnish an easy outlet from
all points on the Burlington system
to the north, and also will open up an
extensive territory in North and South
Dakota and Minnesota to Omaha
trade
I'm one way" said a railroad man,
hn nj, ,p "A
a detriment to the interests of this
city The line which is planned from
Ericsson to Yanllton will shorten the
distance from a large number of Ne
braska points to Minneapolis and st.
Paul and will permit of jobbers from
those cities entering this state in COM
petition with our dealers. But on
the other hand we will have an al
most direct line into the heart of the
DallOtas, which will open a large and
rich territory, making it tributary to
this city At present it is almost i'm
possible for our merchants to com
pete in this section of the country with
Minneapolis and Sioux City iobbers.
In fact the Sioux City jobbers prac-
tiCally have things their own way in
the southern part of South Dakota, on
account of the poor railroad facilities
from other jobbing points. This will
all be changed when the Omaha-Yanl-
ton line is open"
1t is said that survey work will be
completed as early in the spring as
the weather will permit, and the con-
struction work will follow rapidly. 1t
is said that Mr.. Hill has had the pro-
ject under consideration since he
gained control of the Burlington, but
that work has not been begun for the
reason that he has been so busily en-
gagged in the organization of the
Northern Securities company, which
has met with so much opposition that
it has kept his whole attention defend |
ing it.
