Yankton Press and Dakotan : Presl
dent Hill , of the Ynnkton and Southern
! Railroad company , reached the clt >
Monday evening from Texas , where he
has been engaged several months pro
moling his great enterprise. Texas
1ms the big end of the great continent
al project to handle and Texas will
really get vastly more permanent benefit
ofit from the completed road than the
Intervening states , not excepting Soutl
Dakota , though It has been estimated
that the road will Increase the annua
value of the state's winter wheat $100 ,
000. Texas Is a strong state already
but has only entered upon the thresh
old of a career that Is destined to lam
It In the front rank of our soverelgt
j states possibly first in the front rank
The sentiment among the Texans li
as favorable to the building of the
Yankton Southern as is the sentimen
hero at Yankton. At Houston , when
the southern terminus will probablj
be located , there is but one party ant
every one of the 75,000 inhabitants an
members of it. Houston Is found t <
possess advantages of location tha
make Its future less problematlca
than that of Galveston , though the lat
ter with its 35,000 population is al
ready a shipping port. President Hil
Is sanguine of the success of the roai
and has the best means of knowinj
not only the difficulties to bo BUI
mounted , but also the opinions and a !
tltude of financial men toward the er
torprlse. The undertaking Involve
great labor and time as well ns mono
and our people may feel assured tha
nothing Is being neglected that wil
facilitate its progress.

This WIIH the ailvlco to Norfolk of
fered yesterday by former Honalor
William V. Allen of MadlHon , who was

"Federal court In Norfolk , " re
marked Senator Allen , "can be niado
a matter of great convenience lo the
people of thlH big Norfolk district. It
will be much handler to jo lo Norfolk
than elsewhere , but novertlielesH Nor
