Watertown & Sioux
Falls improvements

The Sioux City Journal of a few
days ago contained the following re-
sarding contemplated improvements
in the South Dakota Central, recently
purchased by the Great Northern:
improvements to the Dakota Cen
trail railroad line, which viii cost
about $150,000, have been started by
the Great Northern system, new own
er of the old Dakota Central, which
operates between Sioux Falls and Wa
tertown, S. D. The work of improv-
ing the road is under the supervision
of James A. McKinnon, supedntend-
ent of the Sioux City division of the
Great Northern road.
Five work gangs, consisting of
about 200 men, have been put to work
on the line, Strengthening the road
bed and replacing ties. Fifty thou
sand ties will be laid as rapidly as
possible. 1t is estimated that the
road will be placed in fairly good con-
dition in about two months.
Sioux City officials of the road de-
clare that the Dakota line was in such
condition when purchased that it was
hardly safe for traffic. AS a result,
one of the daily passenger trains and
a Sunday train have been temporar-
lily discontinued.
Numerous complaints have been
expressed by commercial bodies in
both Sioux Falls and Waterfowl be.
cause of the reduction in the service.
Some objection also has been express
ed because the d%ispatching of trains
has been transferred to Sioux City.
Sioux City officials said that when
the road is put in condition for heav-
Ter traffic, better accommodations will
be provided as there is a demand. 1t
is believed that within about sixty
days the bridges which are dangerous
can be rebuilt and wornout ties re-
placed. Heavier rolling stock and
other equipment will be provided

the body of Miss Catherine Goggin
Tuesday had been equipped with a
fender, as the law provides, she would
more than likely be alive today.
That was the cry of Margaret
Haley over the body of her old friend
and fellow officer of the Chicago
Teachers Federation last night. 1t
was her answer to State streets bit
ter fight on auto truck tenders.
The little woman, one of the few
who dares to lift her voice against
big business, hurled the blame on
Marshall Field & Co., on the other
State street department stores and
on the chief of police who will not en-
force the law of the city council.
Catherine Goggin stood waiting for
a car at Clark and Eugene SITS. Tues
day. The corner was dark. She
neither saw the heavy truck nor
heard its approach, for it was cleo
tricaIly driven.
AS the great auto bore down on
her the driver shouted, rang the bell
and threw on the brakes Miss Cog
gin tried to jump from the path of
the machine, but failed.
She was struck and knocked down.
The big wheels of the truck crushed
her head and passed over the fraiI
60-year-old woman. Her back was
broken and the little body, almost
crushed in two. was Whirled I'D into
the gears of the truck, bent double.
Then the machine stopped.
Several machinists with auto tools
were called from nearby garage and
they tenderly loosened her torn body
from the wheels of the auto which
did not carry fender The mangled
form was Strengthened out on an am
bulance stretcher and the little old
woman, loved by thousands, breathed
her last.
