Whatever the cause may be, whether sunshine, light or other conditions, Dr., Carlsen says that the climate does not have the best influence on Norsemen in America. In defense of this statement he states that the second and third generation are not as strong as the old pioneers who came directly from Norway. The descendents are not as healthy as their pioneer parents, to which their weak physique and poor teeth will testify, says the doctor. The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway Company are preparing to build a railroad thru this country, from McLaughlin S. Dak. They are coming to within three miles of Carson, then turning westward to New England, running alongside the N.P. for about 50 miles.
Surveyors are at work south of Carson and the work is being rushed.
They seem very scarce this year. LARK Several people from all over the country assembled here last Sunday expecting to see the steel gang work laying the steel, but much to their disappointment, the track laying outfit was not in operation as the men refused to work on Sunday. The work was resumed again on Monday morning and reached here early Tuesday. Nothing can change the spirit of this country as much as the railroad. People have waited for years for this great event and now are glad to realize their hopes.
