Duluth is to have a new railroad to
the west, and while the gossips have
been talking all around the Zenith city
and it's various new outlets, the pro-
motors of this new line have been
quietly at work buying land and, it is
said, have now secured their right Of

North Dakota Central, and starting
from the head of the lakes, it will in
a measure parallel the Northern Pa
cific for a share of the distance to
Bismarck. 1t will run south of the
Northern Pacific tracks as far across

Minneapolis & ST. Louis Freight Man
in Demand.

1t is the gossip in local railroad
circles that the Minneapolis & ST.
Louis road is soon to lose it's general
freight Agent, w. M. Hopkins, who
has filled that position for nearly
seven years. When Genera Manager
A. L. Mohler, of the NJ. & st. L., was
made president of the Oregon Railway
& Navigation company recently, it was
prophesied that he would take Mr..
Hopkins to that road.
1t is an open secret that he rendered
Mr.. Horsns the position Of general
freight agent soon after his arrival in
Minneapolis from the West. Mr.. Hop
kins has declined it, and the rumor
current now is that the Rock Island
has secured the Minneapolis man for
a position in the traffic department Of
that road.
