Now that the matter has gone thus far
we will say that by the time this paper

ably have been bought for the stage line.

his sanctum temporarily and gone to st.
Paul to close the final contracts which
will put the Medora Forwarding and
Stage Company in running order. Not q

sure our readers thot there is no room
for doubt that in three weeks at the out
side we'll equipped tri-weekly stage
line will be running between Nj dora and

This is no place to discuss the delay in

that there were good and sufficient rea-

The Nor hern Pacific Refrigerator Car
Company is about to ndulge in q series
5of impr6 4enents that is destined to ais
most reyolutio nize the meat trade of the
west. Besides the magnia cent buildings
at Duluth, st. Paul and elsewhere, man$e
additional ones will be built. What in-
terests US most, however, is the Improve:

The present abattoir and cooling rooms!
Eare entirely insufficient for the needs Of
the company, and will be torn down to:
make room for buildings capable of con-
tanning the operations Of killing and
cooling five hundred head Of cattle d day.
1t will DO one Of the largest, if not the
largest, slaughter house for cattle in the
world, and will be built entirely OF brick
The old house will be left standing for
the fall trade and the new one will DO in
full running order for next summers
trade. In addition to this, the company
will drive up 20, 900 head Of cattle into
the Bad Lands and fatten them for their
own use. There is no question that
range beef does and will sell equal to
lcorn-fed beet, aud from our slaughter
house it can tbe laid down in Chicago at
from three-q quarters to cent a pound
! cheaper than any other beef. This is an
4 immense profit, and guarantees the COM
pany in making its vast expenditures.
The trade in Minneapolis and st. Paul
alone amounts at present to more than
seventy -fve head a day, and this is only
q drop in the bucket TOT the market to be
opened. Medora, as the headquarters OF
this gigantic system and the terminus Of
