Appeal by Dakota Central, Which
Wants t. Use Line, Fails.
The United States circuit court of
appeals has affirmed the decision of
Judge Garland of the United States
court in Sioux Fails in case involv-
ing the right of the South Dakota Cen
trail Railway company to use a part of
the right of way Of the Chicago, Mil
waulee & ST. Paul Railway company
in extending it's line into Sioux Falls.
1t was urged in Gehalf Of the South
Dakota Central that under decisions
of various courts it had a right to use
the ground of the Milwaukee company
in entering the city, as no other route
of entering Sioux Falls could be Sc.
cured. The Milwaukee contended that
right Of way granted to one railroad
could not lawfully be used by another
company, and this view was indorsed
by Judge Garland as the result of the
hearing before him.
An appeal was taken to the federal
circuit court of appeals, which has
now affirmed the decision of Judge
Garland, as stated.

FARM BOUNDARIES MIXED UP.
New Survey Of Valuable Lands Con.
4ssA firms Owners Fears,

$50 firms Owners, Fears.
The carelessness of the government
surveyors who in early days surveyed
the southeastern part of the country
has been discovered as the result of
new survey, and has caused mixup
in the boundaries of valuable farms in
the vicinity of Platte. The land affect.
ed is that embraced in Clark township
situated just across the Charles Mix
county line in Douglas county.
A deputy state surveyor, engaged to
make new survey, has completed the
work, and the worst fears of the farm.
ers in the township have been real
lied. For instance, last spring a
farmer named Van der Pol broke eigh
ty acres of land, sixty acres of which,
according to the new survey, belong
to an adjoining farmer. c. Hanson's
buildings are on another mans land
John Nieuwenhuis finds that his house
is on G.. Klats land. Albert Munne
ka's buildings are on the section line.
The buildings of Garrett Finnega are
found to be on another mans land.
Jake Schipper loses about twenty
acres of valuable land and his build,
!ngs are on the farm of neighbor.
The same conditions prevail
throughout the entire township, &C.
eording to the new survey. The re.
survey makes a change in the line
dividing Douglas and Charles Mix
counties. giving to Douglas county
land which heretofore has been sup.
posed to be within the limits OF
Charles Mix county.

company has entered into a contract
for the handling Of about three hun
dred carloads of cattle as soon as the
railroad is completed to Presho, and
because of this, and the approach OF
cold weather, the track-laying is pro
ceeGing with all possible speed.
The grading for the new road has
been finished to a point near Whlte

of Chamberlain. The graders her
aided their arrival at that point by
a conflagration. Through the careless
ness of some member of the grading

the high winds which prevailed at
the time carried it rapidly north

For a period of four hours the fire
burned fiercely, and at times seemed
to be beyond control and batfled the
efforts of fifty men who were detailed

tent of country and did considerable
damage.
1t is possible the track-laying may
not extend west of Presho this fall.

track facilities, which may delay the
work of track-laying.

Canadian Pacific and 500 Said to Back
Survey Near Aberdeen.
The latest revelation in railroad cir
Giles indicate that the movements of
the surveyors who have been working
in the vicinity of Aberdeen are direct
ed by the Canadian Pacific-Soo roads.
1t is asserted that in the Minneapolis
& St. Louis road the Canadian Pacific
and 500 have found an outlet to St.
Louis and the South, which can be OBJ
tanned by securing control of the for
mer road.
The Minneapolis & st. Louis has a
South Dakota branch running into Wa
tertown, and the 500 for number of
years has owned right of way from
its North Dakota line through McPher-
son county to Leola, the county seat,
and extending to Aberdeen. 1t is be-
lieved to be the intention of the 500,
through the Minneapolis & st. Louis
road to build the link which will unite
the Watertown branch with the 500
line in North Dakota. The proposed
line would prove profitable, as it would
run through an exceedingly rich and
prosperous section of the country. 1t
is known that Minneapolis & st. Louis
officers have sought to secure options
on land for townsite purposes in Nc
Pherson county, northwest of Aber-
