machinery capable of working twenty-five

our friends gold bricks from the Sheyenne

This, from the Press is the Dickinson view
of the freight business to the Black Hills:
''There are few newspapers ON the line of |
the Northern Pacific who, in the face of the
facts, still persist in claiming Medora as the |
point from which the Black Hills freight |
route will leave the railroad. We have re-
ceived between three and four hundred thou
sand pounds of Black Hills freight at this
point, and Medora has as yet not received
pound. Those newspapers are so prejudced
against Dickinson and her prosperity that |
they resort to anything that is calculated to |
injure u.s. We have the freight route, and |
will stake q bonanza Dakota wheat farm
against nickel that Dickinson will receive |
and forward at least $4,000, 900 pounds of
Black Hills freight this season."
