SEEK VALUABLE PROPERTY.
Would Acquire Land for Tracks
for Large Wholesale Houses
and Machine Concerns.

There is every reason to believe
that a new and up to date passenger
station, constructed from latesh archi-
tectural designs and provided with all
modern conveniences will be built by
the South Dakota Central railroad al
an early date this year. The pres
ence Of Superintendent Cunning ham
Of that road who was in the city re-
Gently to meet local contr actors in re.8
gard to building the new station and
! who stated that work would begin as
soon as material arrived and the
weather permits, would lead one. to
believe that the erection of new
station will materialize. s.s f5. NJ
And that the South Dakota Central
contenlplates branching out to no lit
tie extent in this city may be inferred
from the fact that peopis owning val
liable property on the west side Of
Fifth street have. within the past few
days been approached by representa-
tives of the road in an effort to aseer-
tain prices on their property. It was
also stated by the representative tn
| in all probability the road would wish
to purchase and he asked that the
property owners be liberal in their
4 prices. ..sS3
/ It is now proposed to locate the new
passenger station on the site of the
Hayes-L Lucas Lumber yards, and the
approach would necessarily Ised TO Be
made over portions OF the lands which
the company wishes to secure from the
A present owners. ls.s. ST
While the tracks will not necessarily
occupy III this and il is prop posed by
the railroad company to utilize the
remaining portions for large wholesale
4 houses and other large mercantile es-
4 ]tablishments, iachine houses, etc.
i Included in the property which the
railroad wishes to acquiresis the Kan
lpeska Milling Company, but as the ex-
psense to secure all this property
! would be heavy it is proposed to pur-
A chase only the northern portion. It
is also proposed to build heavy re-
tanning wall at the rear of the mill
aud boiler houses, utilizing only the
remaining portion
1t is evident that the South Dakota
I. Central contemplates large extern
sion of its trade and, if. as rumore,l,
the road is extended onto Fargo, final
4 tly making connections with some If
A the trunk lines 10 the coast, it would
practically mean trunk line for the
4 city of Watertown. AS alsoEa strong
factor in the business of the Dakota
4 Central.
1t is only too evident that the S.
D. Central contemplates a large ex-
4 pansion in its business the coming
q season when the fact becomes known
that it is adding largely to Its motive

Only few days ago the road added
4 three large and powerful six wheeled
q locomotives. w. H. Waddell, one of
the popular engineers, brot in the new

The road is laying in a large supply
Of ties, probably in anticipation Of
