RAILROAD MEETING.

A meeting of officers and directors
of the Duluth & North Dakota r. R.
Co. was held in this place yesterday
afternoon to receive and confer with
representative comittees from Duluth
and West Superior, who arrived on the
HOO a. m. train. Ex-Governor Burke,
formerly of this state, represented
Duluth, and Judge F. Windsor and
w. B. Kellog West Superior. None
of the three gentlemen seemed to have
heretofore comprehend the wealth of
the resources of the country through
which the road is designed to pass,
and when this matter was fully ex-
planned to them by Mr.. Hines, presi-
dent of the company, who had thor
oughly explored the country, all
seemed convinced that the new road
coul not but become the best paying
piece of railroad property in the North
west, and moreover, it was a railroad
that the cities at the head of the lakes
greatly needed and must have. With
out first reporting what they had seen
and heard concerning the new road,
the visiting comittees could not say
how their people would feel about
putting money into the enterprise at
the present time. Judge Windsor
thought many of them would be will
ing to take certain amount of stock
in the road conditionally, but the late
financial depression had wrought such
large encouragement in business
circles that he did not anticipate it
would be an easy matter to induce his
people to subscribe any considerable
bonus to the road at the present time
though he thought they would do
something along this line later on. He
was convinced of the feasibility of the
road and of the great value it would be
to his city. Mr.. kellogg conceded with
the views Of Judge Windsor, and
talked at some length on the enorm.
GUS capital that had been required to
build up and develope the two enter
prising cities at the head of the lakes,
and how many men of large faith had
invested largely in real estate and
would have about all they could do to
pay taxes and tide themselves over
until there was more activity in bust
ness. For that reason he did not ex-
pect to enthuse his people sufficiently,
on his return home, to induce them to
give large immediate help to the ell
terprise, though he thought they
would do something when they once
comprehended the situation.
Gov. Burke said he came to learn
more about the road and the resources
OF the country it was to pass through.
He understood it was intended to con.
meet the Hines road with the Duluth
Il Winnipeg at Deer River. II so .

80 year contract ought to be entered
into with that road. That piece of
road was now in the hands of receive.
er and nothing could be done about it
until it passed into other hands. He url-
derstood it would be sold soon by.
the mortgages for interest money
past due. Until taken out of the
hands of the receivers there was nos
body to talk to or make arrangements
with for connection or to learn what
the purpose of the road was. Duluth.
was convinced of the value of this
new railroad enterprise and no doubt
would put money into it after it had
advanced farther and taken on more
tangible form. "
Enth usiastic remarks were made by
Dr.. Sinclair, of St. Thomas, showing
with what favor the road is regarded
by the people of this section, also out
lining what work had already been
done and what it proposed to do
The DR.. affirmed that the farmers
were all aliye to the project, and that
the road would be pushed through
speedily to completion.
President Hines spoke at some
length in his usually convincing man
ner and gave facts and figures in sup
port of the enterprise that put the
| vieitinr committees To some very hard
thinking and exploded many of the
theories they had entertained about
railroad building. He was able to
meet every discouraging argument
and objection they interposed, and
gave them many good pointers.
II. n. johnson also made few re-
marks touching the financial aspect,
and setting forth where large encour-
agement to the enterprise doubtless
might be secured.
The meeting was presided over by
DR.. Sinclair in his usual easy and
able manner, while Robert Ferguson
of this place performed the duties Of
secretary.
In addition to the above named gen
tlemen there were numerous other
outside parties in attendance at the
meeting Great enthusiasm for the
success of the shortcut railroad was
manifest throughout the entire pro.
ceedings.-Drayton Echo.

4 Trade Secret In the Construction
Of the Instrument.

"a Trade Secret In the Construction
of the Instrument.
OF all musical Instruments known In
the present day the organ Is undoubt-
elly the king" Not only In its COM
plicated and Ingenious mechanism or
In it's wonderful control by one per-
former, but in it's powers of express
sion and imitation of the various In
struments Of the orchestra it is unex-
celled. Unlike other Instruments that
are perfected both in voice and SIM
plitied methods Of playing-such as
the violin. flute, clarionet, etc. the or
gan. as it now stands, is still open to
considerable improvement, both in
mechanical and acoustic principles.
To trace back it's history us far as
even "Father Smith" and "Renatus
Harris" Q6S4l in their competition for
the organ ut the Temple church, Lon
don, England, and then trace up to
the present day, noting all the real
gradual improvements, would be an
Interesting and laborious work; but
3cnr object now is to take glance at
the modern instrument and enable us

cally and economically; by the latter
we do not mean parsomony Of bag
Cling for Il bargain but making the
most Of the means. whether 1t pro-
ceeds from contributions or gifts. AS
our churches are the disbursers Of the

cumstances. it will be as we'll to I'M
dcrstand what is really required and
what is to be rejected.

organist pulls out OF pushes in. 1t
seems necessary to explain this. as

| thirty-six and cost only half that

AT THE HELM.

In these times of wavering of
political fealty, when the princi-
pies of Democracy-which are
eternal-are being assailed by
partisan intriguers or miope
statesmen(?), sincere though the
latter be in their confined views,
it is a peculiar satisfaction, that
brings a sense of relief and safe
tv. to feel and know that we
have at the Helm of State" a
President in the person of
Grover Cleveland who knows
what Democracy is and who has
the courage to be faithful to his
trust and true to the people, and
who with steady hand and daunt-
less vision steers the ship of
State through the seething seas
of adverse criticism into the
smooth waters of national pros
perity.
'AJl these have gained glory
in their generations. THUS wrote
one of Israel's inspired histor-
ians of.the renowned men of his
nation through whom God had
done great things in their days
for His people: and in some such
words will the future historian
of our nation, when partisan
prejudice shall have been win
moved from these times, pay full
tribute to the fidelity, courage
and wisdom of Grover Cleve'
land as the greatest. truest,
bravest Democrat of his time ano
the most faithful of Presidents

TIL BLUE AND THE r

Early in April there will be a
grand gathering of Confederate
and Union veterans on the battle
field of Shiloh.
The government has appro-
priated $75, 900 for the establish
ment of Shiloh National Park
and a large amount will be ex-
pended on the park by different
States, North and South, which
we're illustrated in that bloody
conflict by the valor of their sold
iers.
Soon the field on which the
third greatest battle of the civil
war was fought will be dotted
over with monuments and me-
MORALS, not to perpetuate Sec
tional strife but to betoken the
restored fraternity of the North
and South. The establishment
of those national parks on the
site of famous battlefelds is a
patriotic movement. 1t is as
cordially supported by ex-Con-
federate as by ex-Federal sold
iers and some of the most ardent
champions of the Shiloh Park
appropriation were Congress-
men who wore the grey in the
terrific battle which was waged
on that scene.
More than ia, 900 troops were
engaged, the Confederates as US
ual, being outnumbered.
The battle was fought with
great skill and determination on
both sides and both claimed the
victory. Georgia had there one
regiment of infantry and the
famous Georgia Dragons. The
severest loss the South suffered
at Shiloh was the death of AL
bert Sidney johnson, who was
called "the hope of the Con
federacy."
The formal dedication of the
park will occur next September
and the government has already
set aside 500, 900 to pay for the
dedicatory ceremonies. 1t will
be a grand occasion and the
South will be fully represented.

Association Formed.

Permanent North Dakota immigration
Association Formed.
FARGO, N. D., Dec 1O.-President
Powers and Secretary Irons have issued
a call for meeting of the executive
committee, appointed at the recent i'm
migration convention which met in St..
Paul, to meet in Fargo Dec. II and 10
to organize permanent North Dakota
immigration association. Every county
in the state is represented on the execu-
tive committee by prominent men, who
have been authorized to appoint from
one to ten delegates from their pros
pective counties to attend the meet
ing. One Of the results following the
work of the convention at St. Paul will
be to turn the attention of the people
OF the country to the Northwest. Each
state will make special effort in it's
own behalf to attract the mass of people
that make up the great body of home
seekers. North Dakota wants its share.
The local Business Mems union will
have the entertainment of the guests,
and have raised sufficient sum Of
money to guarantee that the visitors
will be well cared for.
