THE 500 EXTENSION.
Authentic Information From
Headquarters!
Six Hundred Miles Of Road will
be Built This Season.
Material to he Sent Forward Within
Il Month and Work to Commence
Early,

Mr.. Johnston, the engineer Of tue
Oakes Milling Co., has just returned
from a visit to Wisconsin and in
forms us that while in Minneapolis
he called upon Johu g. Taylor, Gem
eral Passenger and Ticket Agent Of
the 500 Road. In reply to inquiries
he said that their contracts we've al
ready let for the construction of 600
miles Of road, Oh the main line and
feeders, and the work would be COM
pleted this year. He said the 500
Line is owned by the Canadian Pa
citic, and neither the Northwestern
or Northern Pacific has any control
over it Oalle,, will be the division
headquarters.
This means very fiattering pros
pect for our greatly favored young
city. The coming season-indeed
there has been no "let up during
the contemporaries still more
rapid growth than we have seen.
P. S. Peabody will enlarge and
greatly improve his store. M. H.
Roberts con'emplates erecting fine
building on the corner adjoining
the Great Western. New buildings
projected for Second st. Messrs.
Bittman, Baker, Crosby, w. r. Can
field and number Of others will
doubtless erect residences, while the
Methodi,t, Baptist and Catholic So
cieties will complste fine church ed
ifces if nothing unforeseen prevents.
With all these favorable Indications
and the acknowledged fact that our
merchants offer the best bargains to
be found in this part of Dakota; our
dealers in fuel sell the cheapest, and
our grain buyers pay the highest
priccs-all point to a future for
Oakes second to no city in the Ter
ritOrv.

TIE Great Western had a very
narrow escape from serious con-
flag1ation one day this week. A
portion of a mates, lodged in one

and burned to the ceiling. Prompt
action saved the building and con-
tents.
Mr.. E. E. Rorapauyh returned
Tuesday morn ng from weeks Wis
it to Bismarck and Mandan, and re-
por Il very pleasant and enjoyable
time. He was favorably impressed
with the appearance of the two leg
islative bodies, and thinks they will
be conservative and careful. They
had fine weather, no blzzards or
snow storms; the thermometer rang
ing about 35 above and hardly
trace of snow. This warm weather
only can be accounted for by the
well-known fact that our legislators
always raise the temperature-or
something else. The bill for the
Soldiers Home at Hot Springs has
passed the house and will, he
thinks. become a law. He net Rev.
Mr.. Ltne and Mr.. True, both for
merly Of Oakes,-both OF whom are
pleasantly located and in the best of
health.

HUDSON HAPPENINGS.

Among the farms that have
changed hands in this vicinity dur
ing the past few months are the fol-
loving: MIR. Seth B. Cook has sold
his farm to Mr.. Elmer Rorapaugh
and has purchased another near
Riverdale, to which he will remove
in the spring. Mr.. Elmer Weston
has disposed Of his tree claim to MIR.
Chas. Wilder.
James McManus has bought the
Nicholas Burke claim, also one from
Mr.. Slecumbicr, which will make
quite an addition to his already large
farm. Mrs. G.. S. Nichols also pur-
chased farm from Mr.. Slocumbier,
and her sons have become the own
ers Of another quarter OF rich Da-
kota dirt to add to their already
broad acres. Mr.. Denning has
bought the farm owned by Chas.
Morrison which joins his farm on
the north, making valuable addi-
ton to his already large possessions.
Ole Hanson has sold quarter sec
ton of land to Geo. Kunrath-and
now George is looking for his best
girl to come from Germany in the
spring, when he will go to house
keeping and farming in earnest.
Mr.. Magnus Olson has disposed Of
his fine farm to Mr.. Barnard, Of
New York.
Mr.. Will Cornell recently pur-
chased fine team from the Nichols
Bros. Consideration, $500, which
he considers quite reasonable. This
team and another horse which he
obtained from Elmer Weston he
thinks will make him fine break
ing team to turn over the sod on his
new claim. He has also bought a
nice cutter and is now looking for a
pretty girl to ride with him.

a hard-working ana brilliant lawyer,
and his end in public affairs is not
yet.
Senator Glaspell, of Stutsuan, is
after tie N. P. railway, with ham
mar and tongs. He proposes to
show them that the cruel blows
aimed at him during his late can
vass were but loaned. He is as
quiet and doclle rs lamb generally,
but when aroused is a roaring legis-
lative tiger. His enemies fear him.
while all respect and honor him for
bis ability.
The most popular man in all North
Dakota among statesmen here is e1-
Governor Pierce. He rarely men
tions politics, and when he does he
is forced to it. 1t is a puzzle with
many wheih her the Governor will be
a candidate for gubernatorial honors
or not, and there are those, and many
of them, who are sanguine in the
belief that he stands nearer the next
administration than any other man
in the Territory. Whether this is
true or not one thing is certain-no
stale will ever have cause to blush
for his acts.
Representative Newman is work.
ing along in his even, steady way.
Other members Of the legislature
may spend the time around hotel
Iobbies, theatres and other pl,ces of
amusement,but representative New
man can always he found at his post
of duty. He is savagely pushing
his Normal School bill, whicI. | sin
cerely hope will not pass-not from
any disrespect 70 Mr.. Newman-but
Mllnor is too close to Oukes to
amount to much. and why spend
public money to sustain life in q
graveyard town? But nctwitll-
standing my objection, which | have
never expires ed before. | am inclin-
ed to believe Newman will carry his
measure through and leave poor Col.
Elliott shattered and bleeding on
the field, to be nursed back to life by
the tender hands OF the combination,
Speaker Keith, tie Sioux Falls
statesman, is everywhere recognized
as man we'll qualified to preside
over such a body. 1t is already
talked freely about here that Hon.
MIR. Speaker Keith will represent a
portion of South Dakota in the next
Congress. He is eminently qualified
and very popular.
S. H. Moer, a bright leading law
yer of La Moure, has been in The
city few days on business.
Senator Ryan. the bright young
Irish member from Aurora, is, with
Senator Lowry out Of tie way. the
handsomest man in the Council.
Mr.. Ryan is a Democrat and is one of
the three of that faith III that body.
He gained notorlety by defeating
Hon. III. M. Sullivan, one of the
best men in the Territory. MIR.
Ryan is favcrite here, especially
among the ladies.
No member Of the House enjoys
the supreme confidence Of all SO
much as Hon. ]. H. Fletcher, of
Brown. Mr.. Fletcher was not in
the combination that organized the
House, but his ability is everywhere
recognized. He is a man possessed
Of strong and resolute will, yet is
as fair and magnanimous man as
ever led party. His party feeling
is strong, and his friends need never
put q detective on his tracks in order
to have him work faithfully.
