MILWAUKEE, TO
DOUBLE TRACK

Between Milbank and Aberdeen
Work to Commence as Soon as
Weather Permits-Work Will
Require Hundreds of Men and
Lots of Time.
The Review has learned
through a reliable source that
the Milwaukee railroad company
has decided upon the construc
tion of double track between
this city and Aberdeen and that
such work is to be started this
spring just as soon as weather
conditions will permit. If this
is the case it means an enormous
amount of work and the employ
ment of hundreds of men; one
report coming to us stating that
it is expected 1000 men will be
put to work between this city
and Summit, while another re-
port was to the effect that that
number would be employed be-
tween this place and Aberdeen.
Whichever may be the case it is
certain that the greatest amount
of work will have to be done
through the hills between here
and Waubay, 1t will mean the
expenditure of millions OF dol
lars.
The report of this move on the
part of the Milwaukee is sustain
ed and given credence by the
fact that the bridge building de-
partment has been given orders
to be in readiness for bridge con-
struction work on this division,
and by the further fact that all
firemen on the division who have
been in the service for three
years were notified about two
weeks ago to be in readiness to
take examinations within the
next thirty to sixty days, which
means that their promotion to
engineer is contemplated. If the
company is going to make this
great improvement the coming
summer it will require large
number of extra train crews,
which strengthens the belief
that they are preparing to pro-
mote many of the present fire.
men to engineers.
While the work may not be
completed for a year or two
there is every reason to believe
that the report that work is to be
commenced this spring is per-
fectly authentic. .-Milbank Re.
