the Cedar county line is built. When COM
pleted, the line will, of course, be turned
over to the st. Paul, and operated by that
company. Track laying is to begin early

has already been crossed to the Nebraska
side, as have good part of the ties and
iron. The track layers, who will work

jamestown Alert: Our city presents a
more compact appearance to the traveller,
now that the Northern Pacific division
headquarters are nearly finished and the
depot enlarged. Important as it is to have
established here the operating point of
the North Dakota division, it is only sub
sidiary to the other railroad features
that are now either finished or under way
at jamestown. We take little notice of
these things these days, but two years ago
the stock yards alone would have been
considered worthy of mention, aside from
the round houses, machine shops and other
railroad Improvements that are progress
ing rapidly.
