The refrigerator cars Of the N. P. R. G.
Co. are maryels of neatness and simplici-
ty. They are considered equal, il not
superior to any other refrigerator car
made. The cars are very solidly built
and are air-tight except for ventilation.
They are Of double thickness and are
built for heavy use. The ice boxes are at
either end, the capacity Of both being
from three to five tons. The boxes are
elevated from the floor and are provided
with waste troughs and pipes. Under
the boxes is room to pack hearts, liyers,
etc. Long iron rods, running lengthwise
Of the cor, are used to hang the beef on.
1t is first cut into quarters, and all the
quarters numbered. The quarters are

grassy divide between them and the Lit
tie Missouri valley. Very little gumbo is
encountered and the route from Begin
ming to end presents no serious obstacles.
The worst part of the road lis right here
in the. Bad Lands, and this morning a
gang of men was set to work to make a
good read out to the divide. This will
soon be completed and the route viii be
in condition. & u sg}f%. Il 81
This route is for summer, but in winter
the Little Missouri river and valley fur
nish 2 route that would be q delight to
any freighter. Two routes, each vastly
superior than tho one from Dickinson,
would really seem to indicate that no Sc
rious opposition will be felt in that di-
rection. I: .5 n 5S55 Il, n.
Geo. Weaver, who represents hanspor-
tation for $4,000 pounds Of freight, was
in town day or two since, and is now
waiting word for the completion Of the
route to bring all the horses, mules and
wagons to this point. Indeed, some have
already started and will be here in few
| days. T. G.: Jones Of Deadwood, will
also be in town. in q few days. He has
over four hundred head Of horses and
a hundred mules that he will bring here
as soon as preparations can be made.
The Jones Bros. have already contracted
for hauling all the bullion of the Home
stake mine, which viii in itself support a
large freighting outfit. Many Deadwood
merchants have also been consulted in
reference to their freight and have guar
anteed it to our line as soon as it Is
started. The popular opinion seems to
be that in some way the freight line is
connected with the government or rail-
road. This is entirely false. 1t is mere
" q private enterprise and one could be
started from every town on the N. P. lift
had sufficient backing. This is the rea-
son why our route is next to certainty
The Marquis has written from Washing
ton that the freight route must be estab-
lished here at all events, whether there
is opposition at Dickinson or not.
The mail route Is entirely an outside
matter. This is one Of tile principal
reasons for the Marquis Washington
trip, however, and we will doubtless
soon have that also.
PennelI g Roberts are enthusiastic
over the prospect and consider the route
as a question Of only very short time.
AS before stated, they have already sent
out men to grade the road and in our
next issue we hope to chronicle its sue
cessful completion. ,s:s

A man stopped of here on his way

mines yesterday morning, and his ac-
count was anything but rosy. he was
utterly disguised with the mines, claim
ing that it was huge swindle. There IS
very little gold In paying quantities, he
claims, and the whole plan L, a gigantic
speculation for the purpose Of gnlling
people out Of their money. That it will
be a success there Is not much doubt.
The excitement is at fever heat every

Our Freight Route !.

-
All indications and recent develop
m n On point to the speedy opening Of the
freight route between this point and
DeadWood. It is now almost as good as a
settled fact. Whether route is estab.
lished from Dickinson or not is matter
Of small Importance, except for the short,
lived opposition it will offer. Recent ar
ticles in the Dickinson Press and Mime.
sela Boomer state that the contemplated
route from Dickinson to Deadwood runs
through Minnesota. This fact alone
proves that the route from Dickinson
will either never be started or else will
be short lived. During wet seasons forty
miles Of this route is absolutely impass,
able. All along the Moreau and to Min.
nesela is one vast bed Of gumbo. There
is no bottom to this, and wagons will
mire over the axles. At the present
writing it is impossible to ride a horse
over part Of the route. Great cracks are
found everywhere and horses are in con.
slant danger Of stepping into them and
breaking their legs. s5a5.
As we have before stated, the route
from Dickinson is at best a poor one
For Q large part Of the distance it must
cross the head waters Of the Heart, Can.
nonban and Moreau rivers. These will
require many bridges, and, in fact, al,
most the whole route from Dickinson tt
Deadwood would have to be bridged t.
escape the gumbo. The route from here
on the other hand, is entirely clear Of
these head waters and hayerses the level
grassy divide between them and the Lit:
tie Missouri valley. Very little gumbo is

BOreS and n Dummy.

Mr.. Leslie, when he began the work
of land commissioner for South Caro-
lima, found that his tine was frittered
away by idle callers. Walking down
the street one day. we'll dressed fe-
male in store caught his eye, and,
wondering why the lady tarried so
long, he approached and discovered
that the figure was dummy. Just
here an idea struck him. He was
sure that no one, at least no Southern
er. would attempt to interrupt him
while he seemed to be talking TO a
woman. If quick sighted New
Yorker could mistake a dummy for a
lady, why should not other peoplep No
sooner thought than done. The figure
was made and placed in his o..ice. Les
lie worked with his back to the door
and his face to the figure. The thing
acted like charm, and the few cents
for calico, buttons hooks and eyes, and
a chignon were amply repaid by the
savings in the valuable time of the
land commissioners.

An TIlussrious Ancestry.

To what extent the Scandinavian
noble families used the name of ami
mails, generally taken from the figures
Of their coats IF arms, can be seen
from the account of a wedding in Os-
tergotland in 1910. Count Matt Ulf
(wolf). Of Lostad and Grimstad, was
married to daughter OF Count Erik
Geete (goat). Of Svistad; his wife was
Marta Book. and his sister Fru Anna
UggIa (owl). The marshal was Hr
