opposing the placing of lumber on

Abandoned City in. Dakota.

A party Of arch@ologists just returned
here from the northeast corner Of North
Dakota tell q thrilling story Of the
abandoned city Of West Lynne. The
city is desolate and going to decay; no
traffic goes on in its streets or business
In its stores; no homes are in it's dwell
ings. The streets are graded, have side.
walks, and trees and shrubbery flourish
in the yards surrounding residences. but
all is silence and loneliness.
The town is opposite Emerson, just
across the Manitoba line from St. Vim
cent. There, on two sides oil the Red
river and within an area OF four square
miles, are four towns--Emerson. West
Lynne, Winston and Pemoins. West
Lynne is on the west bank Of the river.
The history Of the place Is one of the
somances Of the town building in the
boom period when Winnie ,eg was the
metropolis Of the North. Some schem.
ers, with more fertility than scruples,
plated and exploited city on the river
vt a point where they claimed the gre At
northern was to cross. Eastern capital
ists we're becoming interested aud money
was plenty. There Was no sham about
the actual construction OF that town but
9 substantial reality.
A man named Murray, Of Chicago,
was the agent. Hs sold lots at auction
for 5000 each. While he would be SELL
ing a telegram would come notifying him
Of the sale OF u certain plat and 1t wo Id
b. Withdrawn. Then he sold adjoining
lots At advanced prices. That was the
broker feature. Meantime building was
progressing.
No board shsnties, wood walls nor
canvas shells, out handsome structures
Of brick or lumber, thoroughly finished
in approved style, we're erected, and TO-.
day tue Town is handsome but useless

the h4riIhood of others.
Il has buildings which cost from 5000
to $40 0)o and the bridge. which cost
so, 900, and is capable Of holding a
population OF 10000, and yet no human
