Fargo SPECIAL: Railroad building
here has almost been at a standstill the
past summer, and the Fargo Southern,
| the Manitoba extension from James
town north, now under construction, all
Of which were partially completed last
season, represent the seasons work in
railroad building. The panic of last
spring and the stringency and continu-
ance of failures during the summer had
the effect of putting a damper upon
new railroad work of all kinds, and up
to late in the season there has been
nothing like a revival In the business OF
construction and the e lines that
have been in contemplation the past
season will, owing to the difficulty OF
inducing Eastern capital to take hold OF
new lines at this time, remain uncom-
pleted at least until the coming year.

in q position, financially. a few points
better than last, while money is

mers, almost to a man, have wheat
to the credit, either in their own
granaries or the elevators; but, with
81 cents per bushel, there is very little,
comparatively, being sold--the receipts
at the elevators having shrunk from g.
500 or 1000 bushels to 1,400, and MANY
days even less. The effect of the low
prices is q serious drawback to wheat
cultivation, and will have the effect o.
keeping back many who desire to en-
gage in wheat raising in the valley, az
also it will prevent hundreds who are
engaged in farming here at present
from increaIng their acreage. Mucf
