i TRUNK LINE
TO TIE OCEAN
A business special from the Great
Northern Line, which road took charge
of the management of the Pacific Short
Line and the Sioux City and Northern
railways beginning January 1, reached
O'Neill Monday evening, stopping an
hour. Among the officers aboard were:
W. P. Clough, vice president; F. E.
Ward, general superintendent; J. M
Geuber,assistant general superintendent
east division; R. I. Harrington, comptrol
ler; L B. Allen, division superintendent.
We are informed that the acquisition
of the two roads mentioned creates a
new division of the Great Northern in
which are embraced the Willmar and
Sioux Falls railway, the Sioux Falls
and Yankton line, the Sioux City and
Northern and the Pacific Short Line, the
head officers of which will be J. W. Hill
of St Paul, vice president, L. B. Allen,
Willmar, Minn*, division superintendent
with division headquarters at Willmar
for the present.
That portion of Donald McLean's
dream which was realized in part, the
Pacific Short Line, has passed into the
hands of one of the largest and strongest
railroad corporations in the world. What
the future holds for the line we can only
conjecture, but one thing is certain that
if the Great Northern would gain a
point by the extension of the old Short
Line from O'Neill westward they cer
tainly have the enterprise and cash to
push it on. For O’Neill it opens the
door to a trunk line to St Paul and
Minneapolis, the head of the great lakes
Duluth, West Superior, and the Pacific
coast.
It has been bemonstrated repeatedly in
every state in the Union and in many for
eign countries that Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy is a certain prevntiye and cure
for croup. It has become the universal
remedy for that disease. M. V. Fisher
of Liberty W. Va., only reDeats what has
been said around theglobe when he writs:
"I haye used Chamberlain’s Cough Rem
edy in my family for several years and
always with perfect success. We believe
that it Is not only the best cough reem
edybutasure cure for croup. It Las
saved tbelifes of my children many a
time. For sale by P. C. Corrigan.
