BELIEVED MILWAUKEE MAY
ACQUIRE DAKOTA CENTRAL

WATERFOWL. S. D., April 17.-Follow-
ing h issuance of the decree by Judge
James D. Elliott at Sioux Falls, which
will result in the sale of the South
Dakota Central railway within 80 days,
there are persistent rumors afioat that
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway or parties associated herewith,
contemplate steps to procure this road.
1t Is a we'll established fact that the
Milwaukee is the most logical line to
assume control of the Central in case
1t Is sold. as by linking up the Water
town end Of the line with the main line
of the Milwaukee at either Summit or
Ortley. the Milwaukee would secure
a very valuable feeder which operates
through a rich territory with it's south
ern terminus in Sioux Falls. Another
Iumor Is that grading crews that did
work on the proposed northern extern
sion of the Central from Watertown
over a year age are accommodating
supplies sufficient for a seasons work,
preparatory to again resuming work
on the unfinished grade north from
Watertown to some point on the Mil
Waukee. That work is to be carried
en- for the purpose of completing the
grade Is very plausible in view of the
statement made several months ago
by representatives Of the hondholders
that If through the sale Of the rail-
road, an extensive program Of road i'm
Insvement would be carried out.
