Canadian Pacific and 500 Said to Back
Survey Near Aberdeen.


The latest revelation in railroad cir
cles 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 a 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 a number OF
years has owned a 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
section of the country. 1t
is known that Minneapolis & st. Louis
officers have sought to ecu options

How Mosby Bore the Banner.

Just after the close of the Civil war
Col. John S. Mosby, the famous South

for a minor Office in a small town in
Virginia. Knowing that a love for the
gray and a hatred for the blue still
fingered in the hearts of his audience,
he referred in glowing terms to his
part in the battles against the

GhS0 NAOySI IA
George A. Sweeney and A. F. Austin
OF Bridgewater, who recently made
an extended trip through the ceded
Sioux lands, between Chamberlain
and the Black Hills, in the region
along and tributary to the extension
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad from the Missouri river to
the Black Hills and westward to the
Pacific coast, furnish many interest
ing facts in reference to- the progress
being made in the work of extending
the railroad, the really wonderful de-
veiopment Of that part of the state
as the result of the railroad extension
and as to present conditions in that
vast region.
The extension of the railroad will
cause the development of a territory
embracing many millions Of acres,
which for years was occupied exclu-
sively by cattlemen and sheep rails.
ers. The three men were on the road
over a week, and during that time
drove a distance of yer three hun
dred miles. Points in the Bad Lands
were also visited. and while they
were in that wonderland of Western
South Dakota they discovered a lake
covering about ten acres of ground
which was not known to be in ex
istence.
Mr.. Meyer has frequently visited
the Bad Lands, but ever he was I'M
aware of the existence of the lake.
Neither does the lake appear on any
of the recent maps of South Dakota.
The fact that the lake had been in
existence for perhaps generations,
and is not of recent formation, was
shown by the character of its shores
and the growth of the timber which
surrounds it.
The homes of many of the settlers
at various points in the coded lands
were visited by the three men, who
were %astonished at the excellence Of
the crops raised in that part of the
state this year. For years it had been
the opinion of many that crops could
not be raised in that region.
1.-The corn raised in that part of the
state" said Mr.. Austin, especially
on Little Buffalo creek and on Bad
river, is good hard corn, as fine as
was raised anywhere in the United
States this year.
1.-THE potatoes, beets, turnips, ruta-
bagas. squashes, pumpkins and other
vegetables were unusually fine. All
the settlers had gardens and were
well repaid for the care given them.
Wheat and other crops were OF the
bumper variety. All the products were
raised on sod"
The three men report that the
country west of the Missouri river
looks good. Grass and water are
plentiful, and there is a steady IN
flux of ~homeseekers to the vacant
government land in Lyman, Stanley
and other counties in the region
tapped by the new railroad. The hay
