RAILROAD FARE CHEAPER
1T DOESN'T COST so MUCH NOW
TO GO TO CHICAGO.
THE RAILROADS LoP OFF 1925

It is Two.Cent Rate Straight THROUGH
to Destination-New Rates In Iowa
and Illinois Make the Difference
in Price.
Whereas, last Thursday you paid
$500 for your trip from Norfolk to
Chicago, you can now ride from the
metropolis of northeast Nebraska to
the metropolis of the west for $11.95.
Where you were wont to pay S3.70 for
your trip from Norfolk to Missouri
Valley, Iowa, under the two-cent bar
gain counter rates in force today you
pay only 1857.
The two-cent fare laws of Iowa and
Illinois as well as Nebraska have gone
into effect. Yesterday they received
their first interstate recognition Cir
culars placing the two-cent fare into
effect on interstate as we'll as local
travel on the Northwestern from Chi
cago to the west confines of Nebraska
have been received in Norfolk and
were put into effect yesterday. The
reduction of the fares it was announc-
ed was by special permission of the
interstate commerce commission.
The entire adjustment of all fares
to the recent legislation will in time
be issued in regular form, the present
changes taking the form of supplement
tary rate sheets. The working out of
the new rate charges is a task of large
dimensions
AS will be noted from the reduc-
lions in the fares from Chicago and
Missouri Valley to Norfolk the placing
of interstate travel through Illinois,
Iowa and Nebraska on the two-cent
fare basis is going to effect something
of saving on long distance travelling
expenses.

NORTHWESTERN COASTuN[|
THIS TIME 1T is TO BE BUILT BY
WAY OF BELLE FoURcHE.
BLACK HILLS PEOPLE HAPPY

Think They Have Succeeded In Chang.
Ing the Proposed Coast Road From
the Lander Line to One Via the
Northern Hills.
Omaha, July 10. - Advlces from
South Dakota, verified to some extent
by statements given out in Omaha
during the past two weeks, state that
the Northwestern much talked OF
coast line Is soon to become a thing
Of fact.
Marvin Hughitt, president OF the
road is in that country now, and 1t is
said that he Is there to look over the
contemplated extension.
The Northwestern's transcontlnental
line will be built from Belle Fourche,
S. d., along the Pierre-Rapid City ex.
tension, and will proceed directly
north 100 miles. Surveying has al
ready started on this section.
From the boundary line between
North and South Dakota 1t Is thought
that the road will be constructed due
west through Montana, but the details
of the route are yet unknown. The
grading north Of Belle Fourche will
commence at once.
There was red hot race between
the Northwestern and the Milwaukee
to get their lines into Rapid City, and
the victory Of the Hughitt road is
thought to have encouraged 1t to try
to be first to the coast.
1t was feared by the South Dako-
tans for time that the Casper branch
would be used as the main line to the
coast, but President Hughitts pres
ence in and around Belle Fourche has
brought out reliable information to
the contrary.
The first contract for the grading
from Belle Fourche north and thence
toward the coast will be let within a
couple of weeks.

TO OPEN MISSOURI RIVER.
Major Mclaughlin Has Had Chance
to Make Town at Fl. Randall.


to Make Town at Ft Randall.
Fort Randall, S. D., July 16-Editor
Norfolk Daily News: | would most
respectfully ask for a space in your
valuable paper for the following re-
marks in support of the necessity for
opening the Missouri river to naviga-
ton. The absence of river boats upon
the Missouri for the past sixteen years
has been a great drawback to the set
tiers, who are so far away from rail
roads. One-half their products never
see markets. Now the government has
ordered that the river be cleared of
any distractions with view of per-
hitting Kansas City and st. Louis to
establish boat line. Formerly there
were fourteen boats running from st.
Louis to Bismarli, N D., and further
into Montana. 1t is almost shameful
to see the longest navigable river in
America shut off by railroads which
are of no service to people living on
the river. If the contemplated boats
are put on there will be work in the
line of transportation for all This is
a cattle and grain section Of South
Dakota all the way to Bismarck in
North Dakota. The old landings must
be looked after from Yankton to
Pierre that boats may enter load and
unload without inconvenience or loss
of time. The government snag boat
will open the river so that all boats
may with safety ply the Missouri.
In advance of the boat arrivals, I
have applications for a site to build
elevators at Fort Randall but owing
to my having for sale the Fort Ran
dali lands comprising 1927 acres, I
could not with justice to myself or
the wouldbe purchaser give my con.
sent. | am also asked to sell my forty
acres for a townsite, which l also
have refused, pending the sale of this
place, which is the paradise of South
Dakota. | only wish that some would
be purchaser would come to Fort Ran,
dali to see the place in all its splendor
There never was a failure in crops OF
any kind. Old age prompts me to sell
my home here with all improvements
consisting of two dwelling houses
erected by the government costing
over $4,000; artesian well, barn, cat
tie shed, church building of cut stone
