and office. Work will begin next week,

money and men can do it. The ste of
this new and splendid improvement will

Fargo Argus: Gen. Thomas II. Can
field, the pioneer director of the North
ern Pacific railway, was in Fargo yester-
day. Twenty-one years ago this month,
Mr.. Garfield crossed the Red river on
his way west in an endeavor to find a
suitable crossing on the Missouri river
for his railroad. At that time there was
not a single white inhabitant on the west
side of the Red river. 1t is largely
through General Canfield's influence
that Jay Cooke was induced to take
hold of the Northern Pacific enterprise,
and for many years the general took an
active interest in directing the manage
ment of the road. General Garfield is
largely interested in real estate both in
North Dakota and Minnesota, his home
being at Lake Park, where he has one of
the finest stock farms in the northwestern
country. Although a man of nearly
seventy years of age, the general has the
elasticity of step and erectness of figure
Of a man of Fifty. He returns to his
home tonight.
