ly Few Stops Between Cities and
River. Other Railway Doings.
The Aberdeen News in speak
ing of the new schedule which
will be put into effect about
March 1st, when the through
train will be put on between the
twin cities and Butte, says: the
train will leave the twin cities
about 9 or 10 o'clock at night and
cut out most of the towns be.
tween there and Aberdeen.
West of here there will be no
stop until the Missouri is reach.
ed. Local trains will supply the
various towns in between.
The first stop out of the twin
cities will be at Glencoe, Mimi,
Ortonville will be cut out, and
about the only other stops will
be at Milbank, Webster, Bristol
and Groton before Aberdeen is
reached.
Ibe train from the west will
pass through here about the
time the present night train for
the east starts out, and it will
substitute for the latter, making
stops at the same places as the
train from the east.
These trains will bemodern IN
every way and will be fitted with
new electric-lighted coaches and
sleepers.
Roundhouse Foreman Harry
Wood is raising particular
"hobbs' about the roundhouse.
He will have it thoroughly clean
ed up, windows washed and the
walls white washed. It certain.
ly needs it.
Frank Roberts, of Greely, Iowa,
is the new section foreman be.
tween Milbank and Twin Brooks
and Frank Phelan has charge of
the yard crew. Charles Pryor
has the running crew east of
Milbank. Thomas Sullivan, form
erly in charge of one of the Mil.
bank crews, is out at Mobridge.
The Conrights, of the repair
department, have moved their
car south to the new repair
track, and have also put another
car INTO service for storage pur~
poses. The first of the week,
they built a roof over both cars
which gives them additional
work room under cover. This
department has been improved
considerably during the past
year.
Milbank people going to and
returning from the cities will be
fortunate indeed, as the new
flyer, which h will be put on the
H. & D. to Butte will only make
two or three stops between the
cities and Aberdeen. Milbank
will be one of them. The time
between the cities and this place
will be cut down to about five
hours. The fast train will ar
rive here close to the time the
local now does.
Mr. Brennamau, of Milwaukee.
assistant superintendent of mo.
tive power of the Milwaukee
system, was in the city Friday
looking after company business.
He was particularly interested
in the capacity of the roundhouse
to find out whether or not the
large new engines which are to
be used on the flyer, which will
run between the cities and Butte,
after March first could be ehoused
here. They can, but a new turn
table will have to be built.
Engineer Z. E. Leach, of the
branch is we'll pleased with the
recent change on his run, the
branch train returning to Mi
bank and remaining here over
night. In fact the whole crew
are delighted. Heretofore the
train arrived at Sisseton late at
night and the crew were com.
PEELED to get up about four in the
morning. AS it is now the crew
sleep at their homes in this CITY,
and only have one meal away
from home. All together it is
said by many the change is
better thing for the people along
the branch than they at first
thought. People desiring to go
east or west can do so on the
night trains, with only a few
hours wait at this station, and
they can also go east or west
with close connections by coming
down on the day trains.
A. E. Leach is recovering nice
ly from fall he took at the turn
table one day last week which re.
suited in his spraining one of his
legs quite severely.
