II. P. Breed, superintendent of the St.
Paul u Duluth road, returned yesterday
from Jacksonville, Ind. While there Mr..
Breed contracted for an invoice of passen-
ger coaches of the ''Swiss" pattern, a new
dispensation in the matter of rail car

dividends, and that no change in the fares

to the Northwest. He reports the resi-
dents of Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin
as enthusiastic in their confidence in the
resources of the territories through which
| the Northern Pacific is laid out, and pre-
diets an immense emigration thither this
spring.
The Fargo press, as will appear by the
following, seems to be excited: If it is
true as reported that the railroad manage
ments do not intend to allow Fargo to be
distributing center, it is high time fol
Fargo to rise up and say, upon what meat
doth this, our Cesar, feed, that he has
grown so great" Ten thousand people of
Fargo will not quietly sit down beside a
railroad track and accept the ultimatum
of salaried railroad official. There are
ways for Fargo to get there, and don't you
forget 1t! 1t looks like grave mistake on
the part of the railroads now centering in
this city to assume that her millions of
capital will quietly submit to their dictum.
There are dozen men in Fargo who could
build a railroad of their own, and unless
there is a reasonable concession made, a
line will be put in operation to base of
supplies, independent of st. Paul and Min
neapolis and all their pUny ways.

Turtle Mountain railroad, was in the city

of the most commodiops and elegant in the
west, furnishing accommodations for four
hundred guests, and equipped and furnish
ed IN manner unsurpassed by any similar
enterprise in this portion of the country
Mr.. Roberts visits New York with the
object of procuring additional means to
carry on the enterprises projected and in
progress at the park, and states that the
company under whose direction the same
are conducted, will expend upward of
100000 there during the current season.
