PIERRE
Great Northern Officials are in
Aberdeen on That
Business.
Ta&e Over the Grade
Right of Way as Com
pleted. ,.
and
The following from the Ab rdeen
News of the 12th, is interesting. A
partial confirmation of the report is
had in this city, though those in charge
of
the
railrond property to Aberdeen
which is owned by the city, are reticent
about the matter. It is understood the
move meaug an extension on to the
Black Hills:
The
Jk
4
visit of the Great Northern of
ficials in this city the latter part of last
week is probably of much greater im
portance than was anticipated. The
party consisted of Louis Hill, F. E
Ward and VV. W. Boughton, vice presi
dent, general manager and general
agent of the road. While they
came here primarily to consult with
City Attorney Taubman concerning
the proposed opening of Eighteenth
aV6iiue
east for a block and a half east1
of the Great Northern and Northwest
ern tracks, they availed themselves of
the opportunity to look over the ground1
to ascertain the route by which the
Great Northern could extend its line to
Pierre.
They confided to Mr. TauDman in his
office that the road had that step iu
mind. They inquired of him who own
ed the right of way of the old proposed
Aberdeen, Fergus Falls & Pierre rail
road, and Mr. Taubman has written to
Colonel Robert Stewart of Pierre re
garding the matter.
Old residents of this city will remem
ber that this right of way was bought
and graded by the city of Pierre during
the capital fight of 1890. At that time
the
Northern Pacific road was to iron
it in the summer following the cam
paign but before that time came the
Northern Pacific passed into the hands
of a receiver. The grade is still in fair
shape and the title to it rests in Pierre,
The people of that city have ever been
willing to transfer their title to any
railroad company which will iron and
operate it,'and if the iGreat Northern
means business it will have no difficul
ty in obtaining a clear title to the grade
and right of way.
The route as laid out at that time
leaves this city in a line that is a con
tinuation of the Great Northern tracks
south of this city. It runs parallel with
the Northwestern until it nears the
Dave Culbert farm, and then it branch
es out to the southwest in an air line
for Pierre. It passes through Faulk
Hyde, Sully and Hughes counties direct
to Pierre,- and the distance of the
route makes Pierre 122 miles from
Aberdeen.
Mr. Taubman thinks from what he
gathered from the remarks of the Great
Northern officials that they will build
to Pierre in the summer.
Another' oceurance signifying that
the Great Northern people are in earn
est in the extension matter is the fact
that W. G. Bickelhaupt telephones
that when he arrived in Iiighmore he
found the Great Northern party had
registered at a hotel in that town, al
though when they left here they stated
it to be their intention to go to Ellen'
dale.
^Itms of Local Interest.
The local political campaign was
somewhat lost sight of in the large
fight that engaged our citizens over the
retention of the capital. However, from
the returns now in complete from every
precinct in the county, it appears that
every candidate on the republican coun
ty ticket pulled through with a safe,
comfortable majority. The democrats
were too busy with the republicans in
striving to keep the capital to make
any special effort for the favorites on
their ticket, and as Hughes county is
as Tom Ayres says, a "rotten republi.
can borough," it was but natural that
every republican candidate was elected
without any trouble.
A man named Moore of Fort Pierre
has decided to buy a number of auto
mobiles and put theiu on the Dead
wood bail, making regular trips several
times each Week from Fort Pierre to
Rapid City. This scheme has often
been talked of in the past and it is
hoped Mr. Moore may go ahead with
it. He could easily make the distance
of 160 miles to Rapid City in a day and
would command a large amount of pas
senger and express traffic. His venture
has already been exploited in the Sioux
Falls Press and other daily papers.
The election returns from .Stanley
county show a large vote cast by the
new settlers who have gone on the
broad acres of that broad couuty.
'arts of the republican and democratic
tickets were elected, but Col. Royal B.
Steam8, who was the republican nomi
nee for state Benater, was defeated by
his democratic opponent. Hon Warren
Young.
Monday morning occurred the death
of
T.
L. Lloyd,
from
diptheria. He had
been across the river for a few days
and came home the evening before sick
-..mpr
vy 1th this dread disease, and though the
best medical skill was employed he
could not be saved The deceased was
comparatively a new comer to Pierre,
where he suli-contracted work on the
new public building. He held the es
teem of all who knew him and was a
man of industry and the best habits.
He leaves a wife and adopted daughter
to mourn bis demise.
The ct'lebr.-ition that was talked of
for last 'Tuesday, lor the purpose ot
ratifying Pierre's victory in the capital
fight has been indefinitely postponed.
The reasons given are that everybody
in the city is tired because of the long
and arduous campaign and w.iile ur
citizens feel good, and grateful to all
friends who stood by 1'ierre, they would
prefer that the fo rnal ratification of
the victory be put off until people here
have recui erated sufficiently to enter
tain in a proper manner.
