UNION PACIFIC AFTER
NORTHWESTERN LINE2

Huron, S, D., Sept. 22.-There is
much comment here concerning what
is regarded rs a well founded report
that the Union Pacific railway COM

western line. Inquiry among officials
OF the latter company here, fail to con-
firm the report, but there is well
grounded belief that something tangible
will soon be manifest. In the event
that the change is wrought, Huron will
be greatly benefited, being on the main
line to the Pacific coast. Developments
are impatiently awaited.
