IROQUOIS TO DOLAND

Huron, s. d., Oct. 27.-A party Of
surveyors for the Chicago e. North
western Railway company left here
today for Iroquois, where they will
survey for an extension of the North
Sphinx county, connecting with the main
line of the Northwestern system at
that place. While officials of the COM
pany here are reticent as to the build
ing of the line, It Is understood that
the survey will be completed at once
and that work will begin as soon as
right Of way is secured. Much interest
in this branch Is manifest, as it will
pass through n of the best settled
and most prosperous farming sections
OF this part of the state. The survey
ors are the same as those who have
just completed the Onida-H Hitchcock
branch OF the Northwestern system,

WILL EMPLOY GIRLS IN
MESSENGER SERVICE

Sioux Falls, s. d.. Oct. 22.-
Manager Kelley, of the Western
Union Telegraph company In this
city, has decided to employ girls
instead of boys as messengers.
Sioux Falls will be the first point
in the state to experiment with
this sort of service. This year 1t
has been found impossible by
Manager Kelley to secure a suffi-
cient number of boys to perform
messenger service, owing so the
strict enforcement of the com
pulsory educational law. The
boys under 15 years OF age are
all In school, and the boys over
that age seem TO find other em-
ployment. That his force OF
girls will carrys messages salts
factorily is the belief Of Mana
ger Kelley.
