party's armed legion still in st. Petersburg

EARRING Decides II.

President A. J. Earling announced to-
day in Kansas City the intention Of the
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad COM
pany of building line from Chamber
lain, S. D., to the Pacific coast, and has
given a complete statement of the route
to be taken by the new railroad, which
will add some 200 miles to the 1850
miles of the Milwaukee and st. Paul
company
This statement from President Earlipg
is significant in view Of the fact that the
executive officials Of the Milwaukee and
st. Paul have hitherto denied that the
road had any purpose to build to the
coast Announcement has follow ed an
nouncement concerning the plans of the
road and the purpose of the Milwaukee
and St Paul to build to the coast has
never been doubted, but the officials
have refused to deny or confirm it.
President Earling, when asked by the
Tribune two months ago about the line,
said he knew nothing Of it, and also
professed ignorance of the company in
corporated by the ex general manager
of the Milwaukee and st. Paul, Mr.. Will
liams. who it has since been learned, has
charge of the work on the western end
OF the Pacific coast line.
More important still, is the interview
Of President Earing given to the Kansas
City Star today, as he states positively
that the company has completed plans
for the extension from Cham mberlain, s.
ID.
This confirms the position taken bv
the Tribune, which learned before any
other paper that the plan was 10 build
from Chamberlain and not from Evarts
and to operate this line as the main line
Extensions from Evarts wonld be sim
plv TO connect with the main line through
Chamberlain. Mr.. Earling said in Kan.
sas City today:
The Milwaukee and st. Paul has com.
pleted plans for building TO the Pacific
coast from Chamberlain. s. ID. The line
will be in operation within three years.
The line has been definitely located, the
construction is now under way, and
ground has been secured for terminals
in Seattle.
THE route of the proposed new line
ia from Chamberlain. the fourtherest of
the several western terminal points Of
the st. Paul. The route from Seattle
eastward will be through Miles City,
