from the Minneapolis Journal regarding
the prospective new 500 combine will
also be read with interest, the branch of
this line to Bismarck from Aberdeen
being graded and only needing ties and
iron to make it one of the best pieces Of
railroad property in the country:
The 500 and the st. Louis railways are
preparing to enter into h close traffic ar
rangement with one another, and If this
on the outlined policy, the two roads will
be eventually as closely allied AZ are the
Northern Pacific and the Wisconsin Cen
trail.
Receiver w. H. Truesdale, of the St.
Louis. admits that "there has been some
talk It a closer traffic arrangement be-
tween the two lines" He supplements this
frank statement by declaring that 1.-THE de.
tails Of these arrangements are still in
embryo and %candidly says that "if
anything should come Of the proposition
for q closer traffic arrangement. the details
OF the scheme are in such n crude form
that it would be impossible to outline

day, so his u%tterances upon this subject
We're not %obtainable.
The old Minneapolis & Pacific railway,
which though under a different name was
always part Of the 500 system, runs a. far
Cakes, n. D., and will eventually be pushed
to completion through to Bismarck. This
line, which is the far western feeder of the
800" not only runs through the great
wheat fields OF North Dakota, but, by
means of its connections, taps Fargo,
jamestown and the other prosperous and
growing cities of the new state. The Da-
kota division of the st. Louis ends at
W,atertown, 5. D., while the main
line runs to Albert Lea, crosses
the state line and runs into Iowa, where
it connects with the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids & Northern. The 500 and the St.
Louis have according to Mr.. T%ruesdale,
always been in sympathy with one an
other" and the object of a mutual welding
Of interests appears to the directors of both
lines to De OF great advantage.
The directors at the 500 fancy that with
the hearty cooperation of the st. Louis the
500 can tap the southern wheat and corn
fields and secure all the latter lines pat
ronage in South Dakota, as we'll as obtain
the southwestern through traffic which
will thus come north over the st. Louis to
reach the coast. Finally, the 500 will, by
its close connection with the st. Louis, be
enabled TO help the stock yards industry
vastly by means OF the heavy live stock
traffic which is carried by the st. Louis.
Both lines were built by local capital. The
Canadian Pacific interest in the 500 is anx-
ious to get hold of the st. Louis lines as
feeders to its own. Just how this will be
accomplished remains to be seen. Proba-
ply a close traffic arrangement will suf-
flee until the foreclosure takes place. Then
the scramble will come between the Cana
dian Pacific and the Rock Island for the
road. 1t seems probable that the 500 com.
bination will win. for the road is more nat
uraliy tributary to it than to any Chicago
system.

THE GULF ROAD,

An enthusiastic meeting of the citizens
of Bismarck was held Friday to con-
slider the new railroad project-the pro-
posed Bismarck, Kearney and Gulf Rail-
way. Judge Hull of Nebraska, who has
driven over the entire line, explained the
scheme and gave, IN and unassuming,

ner, his ideas regarding the enterprise.
He explained the interest being taken in
the project south of the Dakotas and was
satisfied if North Dakota did her share
the proper representation could be made
to induce a syndicate Of foreign capital
lists, who had already looked into the
matter a little, to furnish the means to
build, equip and operate the road. The
advantages to the producers of the west
of having this independent line, we're
touched upon, and to North Dakota it
meant at least seven cents more on every
bushel of wheat raised than can be OBJ
tanned without it.
Col. VIM. Thompson was chairman of
the meeting and M. H. Jewell secretary.
The following guarantee was suggested
and unanimously agreed to:
The citizens of Bismarck guarantee on
the part OF North Dakota, the organization
of a company, which shall act In unison
with the similar companies in South DakO-
ia. Nebraska, Kansas, Indian Territory and
Texas, III the building of a north and south

work t" make such a road a success. if up.

others who now pretend to know so
much of bribery-and acknowledge get
ting some of the boodle-why didn't they
appear and expose the rascals? The
committee summoned scores of anti-lot-
terry people who had made insinuations
but nearly all of them defed the CON-

cause they had sold out both sides? The

Now that all the farm lands in Bur-
leigh county have been deeply saturated
by the late rains, it would be wise for all
farmers-or owners of land-that has
beea cultivated but neglected for a year
or two on account of the dry spell-to
summer fallow with a view to cropping
next year. A citizen Of Burleigh county,
VINO has resided in three western states
during the past thirty years, says that
North Dakota has only passed through
the same trials that the other states
have; that in his opinion, Judging by
what he has seen and passed through,
the farm lands of Burleigh county will
all be occupied and that it will not be
nor than five years before their value
will appreciate to $40 to $15 per acre.

A SOUTH DAKOTA journal, politically
friendly says: Senator Moody has been
giving so much time to the tin question
that he is not we'll posted on the silver
question. It looks to an outsider that,
as the senator IS attorney for the largest
gold mining company in the United
States, and the prospects seem good for
his getting his "tin" combine protected,
that he has no use for the bulky silver,
so eagerly sought by the working
classes"

The messenger had less than $500 outside

lars picked up at small stations.

The bitter fight between Senator
Stewart of Nevada and Maj. Powell
which has been going on all winter has
resulted in victory for Powell. Stewart,
it will be remembered, was chairman of
the committee on irrigation, and Powell,
by invitation of Stewart, accompanied
the committee on their tour of ~investiga-
ton. They started out as friends and
returned as enemies, and as Curtis says
in his Washington letter to the Chicago
News, "Stewart has been pounding Pow
ell ever since" just what they fell out
about does not appear, but it is intimated,
according to the same authority, that
Stewart was jealous of the attention that
Powell received on the journey; that
Powell was called upon to make speeches
when Stewart thought he should have
been the me-. At the beginning of the
session Senator Plumb secured an amend
ment to the urgency deficiency
bill appropriating $4,000 to continue
the irrigation surveys which Powell
had begun, but transferring it's manage
ment to the agricultural department,
taking the work entirely out of Powell's
hands. Then, to quote from Curtis let
ter, "Stewart went before the house
committee on appropriations and de-
manded that the geological survey, of
which Powell is director, be abolished
entirely. But the committee declined to
accede to this demand. It has not only
made the regular appropriation for the
geological survey, but has taken the
irrigation work away from the agricul-
tural department and restored it to
Powell again, giving him $75O,OOO to
carry out his plan. Senator Stewart
will doubtless make a stubborn fight
when the sundry civil service bill, in
which the appropriation appears, comes
up in the senate, but in the house Pow
ell has been victorious, and, with the
exception of Senator Plumb, he has the
senate committee on appropriations with
him" As ali auxiliary Of the irrigation
committee Major Powell made a most ia
