Aberdeen News The Great North

to the twin cities, instead Of going over
the present route, which takes the line
north through Rutland, North Dakota.
While this will be a direct benefit to
Aberdeen, the Importance of this eX
tension to the hub city is found in the
fact that Aberdeen viii be the junction
for a through line to the Black Hills.
The Burlington system, which is gem

Great Northern, is now surveying a
route from SpcarIish to Pierre and it
proposes to buld that line as rapidly
