Sioux Falls.

Sioux Falls Press, 90 In spite of
| the announcement made some time ago
| that the controversy between the Hi
nois Central and the Penn Oil company,
over the granting of side track for the
use of the latter, had been settled, the
fact still remains that the side track is
still thing of the future and this indie
pendent oil concern is not yet permitted
to do business in Sioux Falls and South
Dakota in way to seriously interfere
with the Standard Oil company. That
the Penn company believes the Central
has strong reasons for not entering into
a reasonable contract with itself is evi-
denced by the fact that the Penn COM
pany has as last resort invoked the aid
of the South Dakota courts and will
test the efficacy of the laws of this state
in bringing to time reluctant corpora
tions.
Boyce & Warren as attorneys for the
Penn company have served on Agent
Neeley of the Illinois Central notice
to have the side track in within twenty
days. If the railroad company does not
comply, the matter will be taken up
with the railroad commissioners. AT
ter the commissioners have ordered in
the side track, according to the South
Dakota law, the railroad company will
be liable TO fine of 800 per day for
every day they are later than the time
allotted in getting in the side track.
This fine when collected goes into the
school fund of the county, and the
states attorney will proceed to collect
it if it becomes forfeited by the failure
of the company to follow the order of
the railroad commissioners.
The railroad commissioners believe
that the Penn Oil company should have
a side track, and had taken the matter
| withdrawn at the request of the board
of trade it being the opinion that the
| matter would then be amicably settled.
1t is not improbable that there will
be expensive litigation growing out of
this side track controversy which will
be watched with interest. The Penn
Oil company has its boiler ON the
ground and other material lying out.
They have gone ahead with building
operations but are sadly in need of the
side track without which they can do
practically nothing toward starting up
the big distributing business which
they have in contemplation for Sioux
Falls and South Dakota

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the Best
Made.
"In my opinion Chamberlain's Cough
| Remedy is the best made for colds,
SAYS Mrs. Cora Walker of Poterville,
| California. There is no doubt about ii
being the best. No other will cure a
cold so quickly. No other is so sure a
preventive OF pneumonia. No other is
SO pleasant and safe to take. These are
good reasons why it should be pre-
ferred to any other. The fact is that
few people are satisfied with any other
after having once used this remedy.
