Northwestern BUILD
ING CUT OFF LINES E||:S
FOR SHORTER CONNECTIONS
WITH PACIFIC
COAST

COAST
The latest railroad rumor is that
the Northwestern line is expecting
to make~a direct short line connec-
tion from Sioux City, Iowa, to Oakes,
N. D., and connect with the North
ern Pacific for direct line to the
coast. The report is that the North
western line expects to run thru trains
from Chicago and Omaha via the
Northern Pacific to the Pacific coast.
The distance will be shortened by
construction Of new tracks in South
Dakota and will save the trip by the
way of st. Paul and thence west over
the Transcontinental lines.
: For number Of years it has been
known that the Northwestern line was
desirous of making better connec-
tion for its north and south traffic to
tn oc' coast points than had here
tofore existed. It is reported at
Cakes that the cut of lines now be-
ing constructed by the Northwestern
will be finished so that trains can be
run some time next summer.
The Oakes Journal says that 1t is
believed by railroad men that the
Northern Pacific will extend it's line
from Streeter to Dawson, and that
possibly trains might run over that
cut of to the main line. Other rail-
road men claim that the main line
can be. best reached at jamestown
for any Northern Pacific-N Northwest
ern trains. A recent issue Of the
Sioux City Journal has the following
in regard to the work and plans of
the Northwestern line:
"Plans by which Sioux City will be
placed on direct line from Pacific
coast points, opening up new terri
tory and placing it in direct competi-
ton with Minneapolis and st. Paul
for coast: trade, are being made by
the Northwestern railroad, is is said
work Of making cutoffs and branch
lines will be begun next year.
The proposed road, by making a
direct line from Omaha and Sioux
City to Oakes, N. D., and connect
ing with the Northern Pacific, would
cut off approximately 800 miles of
travel which now is necessary be-
fore these points can easily be
reached. AS the line now lies most
Of the travel has to be sent from
Sioux City around to st. Paul and
on out to Cakes. By the new plan
two sides of the triangle would be
eliminated and the big saving re-
suit. It is declared work may be
begun as soon as the cutoff between
Hawarden, Ia, and Merrill is COM
pleted. The line now in operation
between Omaha and Sioux City
would be used as far as Merrill, then
over the new cut off to Hawarden,
up the old line to Iroquois, where
direct new connections would be
made to Doland, then the line would
follow the old route to Groton and
one more cutoff, making direct con-
nections between Groton and Oakes,
would enable a train to be run from
Omaha and Sioux City in line al
most direct to Cakes and out to the
northern coast points.
The proposed extension, accord
ing to the Northwestern officials, is
far from being a pipe line. Pre-
liminary surveys already have been
made in part. With the completion
Of the Hawarden-Merrill cut of the
nrst step viii have been completed.
