POSSIBILITY OF EXTENSION
An Ideal Route for Milwaukee Road
to Tap a Rich Country and
Have Better Connections.

From all rumors concerning the
construction of railroads the Milwau-
kee road is credited with having the
lead on its competitors in this state,
and it is reported to, looking after
the invasion of some .territory III
ether states.
Coming through a semi-olicial
source it is learned that one of the
projects OF the road in the future is
to cut into the territory of the Great
Northern and North Western roads
through Minnesota. The plan as
outlined will be to extend the line
from Mitchell east, leaving the |. &
D. division at Bard, a few miles east
here. and building northeast to Egan,
where the Sioux Falls line stops and
intersects with the Southern Mime
sofa division. From there it is TO
build still northeast to Marshall.

on the Hastings and Dakota divi-
ison, about 60 or 10 miles west OF

We clip the following bit of infor-

Milwaukee's coast line from the Sioux

would be via Aberdeen and Eyarts,
where there was even no foundation
for the report that the Milwaukee

The idea of building a cutoff Of the
Sioux City-Chamberlain liae by eX-
tending from Platte to Chamberlain
or to Pukwana, is said to have aban-
doned for the present. Engineers
who passed through Sioux Cioy last
week, intimated that such a line
would be impracticable, on account of
several Dad hills, for main line traffic.
The country from Platte 10 Puk-
wana is rough and on the Platte line

may be built, but the main coast
line will pass through MITCHELL was

Local Legislation.

II is. of course, figured that if the
great Hood of local legislation which
now fills the legislative hoppers can be
done away with, the solons will not
only have more time to give to the
consideration of matters of general
state interest but the length of the
legislative sessions will be very materi-
ally reduced. TO the great benefit of the
taxpayers and everyone else. Under
the system which has thus far OBJ
tanned i'm Michigan municipality is
required to come to the legislature and
ask permission to do pretty much
everything it deems best for its people
The local acts always constitute about
two-thirds OF all the legislation en-
acted, and so far as the legislators are
concerned no one has the slightest in
terest I'm it or gives it the least atten-
ton. except the member who repre-
sents the locality affected by the bill
under consideration az the time What
ever he sa = goes. no one else bother
ing his he q about the matter 1t all
costs time and money, however, and
could lc vastly better done by the
committee directly interested. 1t will
be necessary to amend the constitution
before this reform can be completely
accomplished. This is one Of the rea-
sons advanced by those who advocate
