ABERDEEN WINS
OVER RAILROADS;
SECURES TRACK
Railway Companies, After Long
Fight, Agree to Construct
interchange Track.

Sioux Falls, S. d., Aug. 23.-Thc snip
pers and jobbers of Aberdeen are AT
last to C the interchange ral!roau
track for which they have been STRIVING
for several years. Three or four years
ago the state board OF railroad com
smissioners acting upon q complain
made by the shippers and joboers or
that city, ordered that an interchange
track be constructed in that city, but
the railroad companies objected ana
carried the matter into the courts, ana
to the supreme court OF the United
States.
Through a defect In the state law
covering the matter at issue the rail-
road O in the courts and nothing
further could be lone until the present
time. At the meeting OF the state leg
islature last winter the railroad COM
missioners had the defect In II law
remedied. with the result thai the inter-
change track now will be constructed
without a contest.
The shippers and jobbers of Aberdeen
recently filed with the railroad COM
nissiOners a complaint to the erect
that they were greatly Inconvenience
by reason of the failure of the rail-
road companies concerned to construct
the connecting track. and asked that
the railroad commission take action IN
the matter.
The railroad commissioners issued an
oroer Tor representatives U! .ne ia.i-
road companies to appear before the
board in Sioux Falls. August 20, to
show cause why the merchants and
jobbers of Aberdeen should not have
granted them an interchange track to
be used by all the roads entering Aber-
deem. Rather than wait for the hear
ing the railroad companies. to judge by
the nature of the officials communities
tions made to the board. now have de-
cided to go ahead and construct the
desired rack.

In this part of the state practically
completed. Wheat. oats, barley and

favorable to corn growth and this
crop Is making rapid progress. 1t will
require three weeks Of favorable

several days. Some threshing has
been done and this work will be gen.
eral within the next few days.

MONEY SPENT
FOR ROADS.
Good Investment Be-
ginning TO Realize Necessity
of Better Public High
Ways.

In every county in the State the PEG.
pie are talking good roads as they never
talked them before. 1t seems that the
people have become infused with the
idea that money spent by counties on
the roads is not a donation on their
part, but is really an investment for
their benefit especially, and, for that
reason, the farmers are heading the
movements in the several counties to
have greater improvements made than
ever before. This is especially the case
in the central and wester parts of the
State where road Improvement is most
ly needed. When the tax payer gets to
the point where he can recognize ex.
penditure for good roads to be an in
vestment, and a good one, and not
filching of money from his pocket for
bad purpose, we shall have good roads
and the tax payer will pay his road
taxes with the same degree of satisfac-
ton that he would pay for new wagon
or a new barn. 1t is an investment
and not donation, and it is the best
investment a farmer could make. He
is especially benefited. La Rue County
