latter two set out to run prelimin-
ary line to Cavalier, SO as to deter
mine about what course will be the
most feasible. This settled, they
will begin the practical work of the
survey on forty-mile stretch from
Drayton.
The Importance of this road to
Drayton if continued across Red
river and on in a southeasterly
course through the Red Lake
country to Duluth, can scarcely be
estimated, and no effort should be
spared to effect the eastern connec-
tion named at the earliest possible
day. AS short spur line of rail-
way, operated merely as "feeder"
to the Northern Pacific, it would be
of but little value to Drayton or the
country through which it is propos-
ed to run, but if made a through
line, whereby the distance of haul to
the great wheat market at the head
of the lakes will be shortened about
$50 miles, and lower freight rates
secured, besides putting this
country in close communication with
the immense wood and lumber dis.
tricts of northern Minnesota, and
also furnishing near home markets
for many farm products in this sec
ton that now caAnet be grown with
profit because of the long haul OBJ
lection, there is an exciting pro
liability that Drayton would eventu.
ally become the leading city in busi
ness and population in Nortl
Dakota. Beautifully located on the
west bank of the famous Red Rive
Of the North on the highest plat o1
land between Fargo and Winnipeg
and a rich fertile soil reaching al
about for many miles, Drayton il
one of tho most desirable cities for
great CITY that can be found in th;
Red River Valley.

FARMING VS.. POLITICS.

M. F. Greeley, farmer, writing
to the Dakota Farmer, says: elbow
long, Oh, how long will this class Of
farming be continued? We meet
farmers almost every day who un-
derstand our banking laws to a dot
who can talk protection or free trade;
who can tell to year when Europe
will be plunged into the bloodiest
war of the history. But they are
surprised to know that raspberries
grow in North Dakota. They can
not imagine how flock of hens can
pay their store bill, or how butter
and cheese has made more men rich
than all the legislation on earth.
Tell them that one year with another
five acres Of potatoes and garden
will support an ordinary family;
that ten years out of the past twelve
the price of potatoes in North
Dakota has each year at some time
passed the price of wheat, and that
it is no trick to raise 100 or more
bushels of them to the acre, and
they will think you are fl subject
for an asylum and will most likely
tell you so. Commonwealth.

BYMETALLIsNI CROWS.

German financiers assert that the
obstacles to uniform system of in
ternational bimetallism are SO hard
to overcome that hope of an agree
ment would az we'll be abandoned.
If that is general European
belief, the nations which entertain it
will entangle themselves in trouble
which will overthrow a few dynas-
ties.
Every one of these governments
is exacting a revenue which con-
tinually iacrea1es, while the value
of the metal which forms the ex-
elusive standard mounts higher also.
Every one of them is adding to its
expenses and its debt at the same
ti,ne-gold being always the basis
of computation. They are laboring
to make metal money scarcer, and
to make redemption of paper cur
rency and payment of bonds harder.
Under such processes something
must give way. Tho people may
not rise up in rebellion against a
gold standard, but they are sure to
become turbulent under the strain
of gold standards effects. The
science of money they may not know
but they will know that something
is robbing them.
In the United States the settled
resolve Of the people to secure bime'
tallism is perceived by all the poll"
ticians-and politicians are the best
judges of popular sentiments, if they

are not always the most reliablt;;
agents of the popular will.
John Sherman's party in John
Sherman's state has adopted cur
rency platform which is intended to
promise free silver coinage to the
people. The gold standard men
claimed that Campbell was defeated
by Mckinley because the democratic
platform declared for bimetallis1n.
The free silver idea must be growing
fast if that claim was we'll founded
then. John Sherman must take the
stump for birnetallism-much as
he hates it and far as he is from
ever consenting to do anything but
kill it.
Europe may not be able to agree
upon an international bimetallism.
We can agree upon ratio of free
coinage for ourselves. Ohio has
been lately classed as an eastern
state. When John Sherman's
friends and pupils there dare not
dodge promise of free coinage
what must be the tempter of the
voters in the south and west.

THE NEW RAILROAD.

What ought to be called the
Duluth, Drayton g. Northwestern
Railway is beginning to boom. y.
w. Hindes, who is pushing the
new enterprise, has been in town
most Of the past week talking
up the preliminary matters connect
ed with the building of the grade,
surveying, right of way etc., and is
very much gratifed with the mani
fest spirit of our leading citizens in
favor of the project. He will have
no difficulty to get the right of way
through Drayton township without
expense, and our citizens will no
doubt give liberal help toward get
ting the first few miles of grade
completed west from Draytou. The
route of the new road may possibly
be due west through the township
along what is termed the "blind
line," commencing at the west end
of Wallace street. After entering
Midland township the line will angle
to the northwest and make for St.
Thomas in as direct a course as
possible, and from there northwest
to Cavalier. Still the surveyors
were running line yesterday that
bore off northwest, about a mile
from town, and went angling across
the Tweedlie, Uphsm and Read
Waldo farms and it may be decided
to run the permanent survey to St.
Thomas in that direction.
Messrs. Merriman and Merrill,
civil engineers and surveyors from
St. Paul, arrived Tuesday, and will
survey the line for the new road.
Tuesday afternoon, in company
with Messrs. J. D. Wallace and
Chas. Edwards, the surveyors drove
across the township to locate the
sectional posts, and Wednesday the

Of Interest to Horsemen.

The Democrat mentioned an
accident to the mare belonging to
Mr.. J. A. Cumming by which a leg
was broken. The animal was in
foal, and it was found that the
plaster cast on the leg was not suf-
ficient to sustain the heavy weight
of the horse. 1t was desired TO
save the colt if possible, and, as
the fate of the mare was practical
ly decided, chances were taken
and an operation was performed,
which, SO far as known now, is the
first on record for like case. The
Caesarian section was performed
by DR.. E. L. Irvine. DIR. II. E.
Beers and Mr.. d. o. Woodworth
The life of the mare was sacrificed
for the colt, which was saved,
though respiration failed to appear
for fully five minutes after being
taken from her mother, and was
only produced by artificial means.
The colt, a fine looking animal
with the marks of her sire, is alive
and doing we'll, a triumph of skill
full surgery. The little fellow is ol
peculiar interest as she comes from
fine strain of blood, being sired
by Memo, a full brother to Frou
Frou, having the yearling record
by Sidney, one of the best progen-
itors in the United States. If she
lives, as she undoubtedly will, she
,, deserves to become Caesar

1.-The Chicago Lady Quartette is
composed of artists. They gave
all exquisite concert last evening
before a goodly audience. The
selections were varied, including
the simple melodies with the
classical, and the execution was
simply superb. Encore followed
encore with certain sequence, for
the charming young vocalists won
the heart of every auditor in their
"ery first effort. The Lady Bird,
and they refused. to refe1e- a soul
thus imprisoned until the last
number was sung, and it was fit
ting and appropriate, Home,

as we'll as quartettes, anI the fact
was exemplified that each member
of the quartette is a finished solo

Cornelia Neltnon, queen OF i'm

the program. The Chicago Inter-
ocean speaks of her as follows:
miss Neltnor did remarkably
we'll and received a solid recall

was perfect ease and grace of
manner, free from strain and ap-
parent mechanism, and refresh
