| ton from the Rev. J. L. Fonda, Arl-
ington Heights, Ill. He reports hav-
ing had cold winter, for that state.
Trains run irregularly on account of
! snow blockades. We need not COM
plain about snow drifts, for after COM
pairing notes with reports from all
parts of the union, we find that snow
does not hinder our business any more
! than south, east, west and north of us.

pletion of the L. F. & D., left last

A complimentary ride to Little
Falls, extended to the county com.
missioners and their invited friends,
by the Little Falls & Dakota Railroad
Company, on last Wednesday. The
object Of the trip was to convince the
county commissioners of Stevens
county that road was really built and
running, and also to mention the small
matter Of fifty thousand dollars that
company desire the county to issue
bonds for. An informal meeting was
held in the evening, ct the auditors
office, and the latter question was
freely discussed. The railroad COM
pany will make q formal demand for
the issuing Of the bonds at the next
meeting Of the commissioners on the
9th February, at which time we hint
that the commissioners will remember
that this is question involving the
good name and credit Of the county,
and should be dealt with as the best
interests of the county demands, viz:
by promptly issuing the bonds, or else
showing an honorable reason for re.
fusing to do 50.
