fact that in our manner of living we
bade defiance to every known law of

White Rose and sailed the South Seas
until they were washed on a reef on

NEW DEPOT FOR MITCHELL.
Milwaukee Road VIII Build q $35,0 900
StruCturc.

Superintendent Collins, of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee n st. Pau railway,
has announced in Mitchell that his
company had definitely decided to
erect the new passenger station which
was promised three years ago. The
plans have been drawn and a very
handsome building will be put up. Mr..
Collins stated that the structure would
be 200 feet long, 26 feet wide, and a
portion of it two stories high. The
building will be placed across the
south end of Main street, with an arch
entrance for teams to drive into and
deposit passengers. Brick will be used
for building material and the building
will cost about $4,000 when complet-
ed. Mr.. Collins Immediately put a force
of laborers at work to tear up four
switch tracks north of the present de-
pot to make room for the new station.
Work will be carried on throughout
the winter months with the idea Of
having the building completed by Aug.
I. 1909. The erection of such a large
depot leads to the belief that the COM
pany is preparing to handle a portion
Of it's Pacific coast business through
Mitchell after an extension has been
built northwest of Rapid City and con-
Meeting up with the coast
line. Surveyors have been at work all
summer on this.
