river, } Dalrymple, Grandon, Gardner, and Har-
wood, are the way points on the new road be-
tween Grand Forks junction and Fargo. So
far Elmwood is the only new town on the
GAINESVILLE & Moorehead line, but when the
road is ready for opening to traffic, there will
probably be more towns. On the Breckenridge
and Oasselton branch the way towns or stations
are Wahpeton, Dwight, Barrett, Colfax, Wal
cOtt, Kindred, Williams and Durbin. Here are
about score of new towns created by this
one company's railroad building In one year,

The st. Paul d Manitoba company's short
line between st. Paul and Minneapolis will
not be finished this year, because of unavoid-
able delays in preliminary arrangements.

as early as possible next year. The new line
will be remarkable in its drectness and the
ease of grades. Between the two depots

hundred feet from a straight line
and there will be only three
grades, one rising from the st. Paul depot. one
half mile level on the summit and the third
descending into Minneapolis-the heaviest,
being the first above mentioned, being only
twenty-seven feet to the mile. The line will
be short in fact well as In name, being only
ten miles from depot to depot. 1t is beng
graded for three tracks and the three tracks
will be laid next season.
Tuesday night the track-layers of the North
ern Pacific contractors had laid the track 10 a
point 16l miles west from the Missouri, and
the condition of the grading beyond was such
that there is no doubt but that the track will
be extended to the winter terminus on the
Yellowstone, 226 miles from the Missouri. by
December 1st. The road will reach the Yellow
stone at Eagle Bluff and. rounding that, will
be finished further distance Of two miles, to
a point on the Yellowstone, where there is q
good natural landing and where q
transfer track and yard tracks
can be laid with little work of grading. Here
the company will transfer to boats next spring
the material for the building of the roadbed
up the Yellowstone. and will receive ties and
timber for the road and bridges, which are to
be hoated down from the upper tributaries OF
the river. round house and other depot
buildings will be at once erected there and a
detachment of soldiers is to be established in q
cantonment there to assure the winter working
parties against Indian raids. 1t is plain from
these facts that there will soon be city there,
but what will it be named?
