RAILROADS MAY RACE.
Milwaukee and Northern Watching
Each Other Closely.


Mitchell.-Wheeler, down in Charles
Mix county, on the Missouri river
seems to be something of an objective
point Tor the extension of railroads
at the present time. The Great North
ern railroad has had surveyors in the
field making permanent survey from
Sioux Falls to Wheeler. cutting in
about eight miles west of Parkston.
down through Armour and several
other Milwaukee railroad towns. and
Northern has aroused the interest of
the officials whose territory seems to
be about invaded. The Milwaukee road
enjoys a wide scope of freight terri
tory southwest of Parkston and Ar
mour which would be badly cut up If
the Great Northern's line is built into
that region. A few days ago the Mil
waukee officials commenced to sit up
and take notice when half dozen
went up to Parkston and took notes of
the situation as far as it has progress
ed. The statement is made that in
the spring the Milwaukee road will
beat the Great Northern to that sec
ton by building a line from Sioux Falls
TO Wheeler. to protect its own terri
tory, and, more than that the same
positive knowledge is given with refer
ence to the Milwaukee's extention
from Stickney north to Orient. With
the Milwaukee now practically pro-
jected into the field there is every
reason to believe that the Chicago, st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha road will
make its presence felt if either road at
tempts to go TO Wheeler. which is rec
orniZed as Omaha road territory.
