PIERRE GRADE
IN LIMELIGHT
M. & st. l.. Road Said to Have
Secured Grade From Aber-
deem to Pierre

Aberdeen, March 28.-A rumor is
afioat to the effect that the M. & st.
l.. has secured the old Aberdeen
Pierre grade and will iron it this
summer. The authority for the
statement is an-eastern man closely
connected with the affairs of the
road and in a letter to local man
he intimated that such a project
would be a certainty within a few
months. The distance from Aber-
deem to Pierre over a line on this
grade would be less than 120 miles.
The line will pass through Faulkton,
crossing the Northwestern at that
place. The M. & st. l.. crosses the
old grade just west of Cresbard, and
it is likely that the route would be
changed enough to allow the line
from Aberdeen to pass through
Cresbard, affording connections at
that point for passengers east or
west bound.
The grade was constructed in the
capital fight of 1890 by a number of
Pierre boosters who bought the
right of way and offered it to the
first road that would iron it. How
ever. nothing was ever done with it
and it lies undisturbed. 1t is not
likely that there will be much work
done on the grade itself as it is well
defined and considerable work would
be saved.
