HERALD FORECAST COMING TRUE
Milbank Forging to the Front as a
Railroad Town

About a year ago the Herald
published an item, stating that
every thing at that time pointed
to the fact that in a few mouths
Milbank would resume it's old
place as a railway center. The
Interview given the Herald by a
railway official could not be pub.
lished. That the many changes
and additions to the yards at this
place are strong evidence that
the statement made is coming
true only needs asecond thought.
A regular force of men was put
at work in the round house some
time ago, and has since been
maintained. This week an ac.
ditional boiler maker, machinist,
and two engine dispalcbers will
be added. The engine dispatch
ers are new in the Milbank yards.
They take the engine from the
engineer, as soon as 1t enters the
yards, take it to the round
house, see that it is cleaned,
and repaired. This relieves
Roundhouse Foreman Wood of
considerable work.
It will be remembered that at
this time a petition was sent to
the Milwaukee off cials asking
that a new depot be erected at
Milbank. The request could not
be complied with at that time,
but an addition was built on the
old depot and some necessary
repairs made. One of the main
reasons for the refusal, although
not made public, and which the
reporter was not permitted TO
publish was that the company's
attention was beng directed to
the Pacific extension, and after
this was completed the other
changes would come as needs
demanded. Milbank will get
new depot in a little time, there
is little doubt, but it will very
likely be moved to a different
location than the present one
occupies.
Another extra engine and crew
of men are now employed for
double heading up the hills.
This with the other hill crew, and
the local switch engine tie up in
Milbank at night. A work en-
CINE also ties up in the Milbank
roundhouse, making four engines
and crews in Milbank every
night.
The low places in the track
between this city and Odessa are
being raised as much as two feet
in places. Road master Burk has
given up his position at this place
and returned to Illinois. Mr.. M.
Peterson, of Appleton, has taken
his place.
Material is arriving every day
for two new stall which will be
built onto the south west end Of
the roundhouse to accom- modate
the large engines.
In the same interview, the
official remarked that it was not
matter of choice in making
Miloank good railway point-it
was the existing conditions, the
hills, distance from and between
the cities and Aberdeen, and in
creased business. These must
all be considered by railway
company. And it all sounds
good to Milbank people.

STATEMENT OF MIR. WILSON
ef Food and Drugs
Advertising That Their Products

tary Tired Of Seeing tic Untruthful
Statements and VIII Put a Stop to
Them.

Washington, April 16.-'If this
outrageous Misrepresentation does not
cease. the department will publish a
list bearing the names Of manufac-
turers who are indulging in this cam
paign of deception"
This remark was uttered by Secre-
taly Wilson, of the department Of
agriculture in an authorized statement
today, and was brought forth by the
fact shat there had come to his knowl-
edge information that number Of
manufacturers Of foods and drugs
were freely advertising that the Unit
ed States government was guaran-
teeing their products. The secretary
said that the serial number and guar
anty required by the pure food and
drug act to be placed on food and
drug products were being used by
these manufacturers for this purpose.
The serial number" said Secretary
Wilson, 'is assigned to fix the re-
"ISI Z II DCIOlIoS, OBOAA SI4I
manufacturer and to protect inno-
cent dealers who have a right, under
the law, to rely upon his guaranty.
It. is the guarantee of the manufac-
turers, not the guarantee of the gov
ernment."
The secretary declared that every
effort would be made by the depart
ment to put a stop to these state
ments.
II will do a little advertising my
SELF" he said. lin behalf Of the peo-
pie. [ am growing tired Of seeing
these untruthful statements on the ad-
vertising pages of the magazines, the
walls Of the New York subway and
the advertising space Of the street cars

ers who will deceive the public about
their guarantee will lie about the
quality Of their product"
He added that the law was to be
administered fairly and that no hon.
est manufacturer need fear that the
department will take SNAP judgment"
on him or f1arass him in any way"
