SHORT LINE OFFICIALS HERE,
Sioux City Times, July 18.—The
new olllcers of the Sioux City and West
ern Railway company, and who also are
officials of the Great Northern, returned
to Sioux City at 12:30 this afternoon
after a tlyiug trip over the line from
Sioux City to O’Neill. The party arriv
ed in Sioux City Mouday night from St.
Faul and left after a stop over of two
hours for the night trip to O'Neill.
They were accompanied by F. C. Hills,
of this city, manager for the Sioux City
aud Western Railway company, and
several sub-officers of the road. The
train left O’Neill at 7 o’clock this morn
ing for the return trip. It came slowly
so as to give the members of the party
an opportunity to look over the line and
the country thereabouts.
The train consisted of a supply car
aud an office car, pulled by a Great
Northern mogul engine. The itinerary
from St. Paul was by way of Willmar,
Garretson aud Yankton. From Yank
ton the run to Sioux City was made
over the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul tracks, the train arriving iu Sioux
City at 8:40 o'clock. Iu addition to
President D. Miller, of the Sioux City
and Western, who is also the second
vice president of the Great Northern,
and Vice President L. W. Hill, who is
the sou of President James J. Hill aud
his father’s assistant, there were in the
party F.B. Clark, general traffic manager
for the Great Northern, F. Shesgreen,
superintendent of the Willmar division,
and J. Q. Adams, of St. Paul, and A. E.
D. Thompson, of Duluth, grain men.
“ l’he crops all look fine,” said Presi
dent Miller, who for the first time bad
been over the line. "We are well satis
fied with the liue and the .conditions
surrounding it. Everything iu Nebras
ka seems to be in a prosperous condi
tion, but, of course, wu made a hurried
trip aud could not see much in detail.”
L. W. Hill, yice-presideut of the liue,
and son of J. J. Hill, of the Great
Northern, also accompanied the party
to O'Neill, aud when asked what he
thought of the road remarked that it
seemed to ruu to the jumping off place.
"But, I must say, all the crops in that
part of the country look very fine in
deed. Yes, I like the property, and I
have no doubt it will do a good busi
pess.” The young man asked to bo ex
cused, and went up town with a friend.
The other members of the party loiter
ed about the station aud in Manager
Hills’ office until time for the train to
depart.
During the wait of two hours last
night the members of the party sat in
the lobby of the Mondamin hotel and
talked the time away with General
Manager Hills auiS. J. Beals, receiver
of the Sioux City aud Northern, who
for the last six years has been the Great
Northern representative in Sioux City.
As the visitors walked leisureley up
town toward the hotel they stopped and
looked at the Union passenger station.
"Thai’s one of the thiugs that broke
Garretson," said one of the purty, as he
gave a sweeping gesture which took in
the train shed aud magnificent pile of
granitu which soon may be converted
into a great warehouse.
Mr. Hills told briefly how the station
happened to be built and the story seem
ed to interest the party.
Whatever became oi tue eievuieu
railroad?"asked Mr. Clark, who knew
Sioux City better when he was general
traffic manager for the Omaha. "I used
to be acquainted with Dau Hedges, Gar
retson, John Peirce and Jim Booge, I’d
like to see them now."
“What’s the uaine of this company
that succeeded Garretsons trust com
pany?” inquired one of the gentlemtn.
“ Credits Commutation” always had
been too much for him. lie said he
never had been able to throw that name
down and hold it.
Mr. Miller, the new president of the
Short Line, is a compactly built, middle
sized man of 40. lie has a well shaped
head, covered with closely cropped
light hair, iiis eyes are clear blue and
have a merry twinkle which not often
is seen in the eyes of a care worn rail
road mau. His mustache is the color of
his hair and in neither is there any sus
picion of gray. Mr. Miller might be call
ed a handsome man and it is certain he
dresses carefully and in good taste,
“We are making this trip more to
learn what we have down here than
anything else.” he said, pleasantly. “I
never was in Sioux City before and nev
saw a mile of the road of which 1 am
president. “I cannot say whether the
Sioux City and western will be extended.
Its extension depends upon circumstan
ces. There are many conditions which
would inlluence an extension, but this is
too early to talk of them. They have
not been considered.” Young Mr. Hill,
son of the great rail road wizard, is an
interesting person. With a gay banded
straw hat, loose blue serge coat, colored
silk negligee shirt ami linen trousers, he
had more the appcrance of one of the
boat club athletes us he lounged np to
the counter of the Mondamin than of
the assistant of President James J.
Hill.
‘•Yes, thank you, father is home now
and came back from Europe feeling
tine.” he said.” He has been talking of
coming down Ibis way and I’m going
to attempt to persuade him to make the
trip while the crops are in snch superb
condition.
“Really there is nothing to tell about
the new road. Nobody knows anyth
ing to tell. I have found out more to
night about the Pacific Short Line that
I ever know before, and it ail is quite
interesting. Mr. Ilills said he had kept
Col. Clough informed as to the devel
opments in the receivership procedings
and the foreclosure, but 1 never heard
of them, an I don’t belive my father did.
I know he expressed suprise one morn
ing at breakfast when he read in a paper
that he had fallen heir to another
railroad.”
About 100 O'Neillites accompanied
the ball team to Plainview last Friday,
and they were all well satisfied with
the trip and witnessed two fine games
of base ball. The first game was be
tween an aggregation styled Pierce,
composed of ball players from Cole
ridge, Sioux City, Pierce, Plainview and
one from O’Neill; the other team was
from Osmond and they had players
from Randolph and O'Neill. The game
was an interesting one from start to fin
ish and was not decided until the last
man was out. The score stood Pierce
4; Osmond 3. The ball players in both
teams are gentlemanly set of fellows
and were it not for the big mouth
of one of the boosters of the Pierce
team, which the owner seemed un
able to control, the game would have
been better enjoyed by the crowd. The
O’Neill team played the winners of the
Plerce-Osmond contest and the boys
went up against as good an aggregation
of ball players as can be procured in
the ncrlh-eastern part of the state. The
O'Neill boys played ball all the time.
Owing to the lateness of the hour only
five innings were played, the game re
sulting, O'Neill 3; Pierce 2. O'Neill
had the pleasure of securing two runs,
while Pierce got none. Arrangments
will probably be made to have a game
in this city between Pierce and O’Neill
in the near future and we can assure
our readers that it will be a ball game.
