for his sod house, his horses being well
cared for in a sod barn. This year he
had over 1000 bushels of grain, and L
venture there was no happier boy In
North Dakota. Next year he will have
a frame house and wife, and let us
hope his happiness and prosperity may
go hand in hand and increase each sue
ceeding year Two years more and the
government will give him a title to 100
acres of soil more productive than any
500 an acre land in the East. At
twenty-five years of age he will be COM
fcrtably fixed. The city has it's ad-
Vantages, but it has more pitfalls, and
When L look over these letters, and
there are hundreds of them, 1 cannot
help but compare the difference be-
tween the success attending our set
tiers, many of whom were Eastern
renters possessing little except teams,
machinery and household goods, with
the struggles of the hosts Of hand-to-
mouth people in the cities, not to speak
Of the scores and hundreds Of unem-
ployed who live by charity and beg
gary.
Men who went to North Dakota
hundred dollars, have doubled their
savings. Here is a letter from an eld-
erly man who is making his second
start. He worked for many years on
an Indiana farm bought at high prices,
but never got enough ahead to pay out.
For two years he and his good old wife
lived in a sod house, but they were
happy, because what little they had
was their own. He was able this year
to pay for q neat frame house from
the seasons crops He firmly adhereS
to his new rule not to buy anything I'M
less the wherewithall is in sight to pay
for it. He says that no more notices
come to him through the postoffice that
his interest or his note is due. In an
other year he will get title from the
government for his homestead, which
in its improved condition will be worth
at least $1,000. This earned and a living
in five years with little to begin with
except a team and wagon. 1t requires
hard work and close economy to build
up home on the bare prairies with
small means to start with, but there
is something in prospect as compared
with the man who is suffering relent-
less priVatiOn and wretchedness in the
tenements of the great Cities

THREE-YEAR EXTENSION.
1t VIII Probably Be Granted by the
Commerce Commission.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The hear
ing given by the interstate commerce
commission on the question of extend
ing the time within which the railroads
Of the country may comply with the
provisions of the car coupler and train
brake act was concluded at noon. The
commission intends to take some sup
Elemental testimony under oath before
coming to a decision. There seems to
be no doubt whatever that an extern
sion will be granted and that the eX-
tension will be general in its character,
the hearing having demonstrated that
any discrimination would fall as heav-
lily on roads which have complied with
the law as on those which have thus
far disregarded it. The general inn
preston among both the railroad men
and the labor leaders who were in at
tendance on the hearing is that the eX-
tension granted by the commission
will be a complete compromise. The
railroad representatives asked for five
years, with the condition that one-fifth
of the unequipped rolling stock of each
company should be equipped each year
and the representatives of the railroad
organizations protested against an eX-
tension in excess of one year. Three
years is generally believed to be the
maximum extension which the COM
mission will grant. The commission is
evidently in great doubt as to it's abil-
ity to impose conditions on an extern
sion and it may be that they will grant
but a years extension at-a time with
the understanding that against those
roads who do not complete the yearly
portion of their equipment during that
period the law shall become operative.

LA CROSSE. Wis, Dec. 2.-The worst
fire that has visited this city for years
occurred about midnight last night OF
the old Brick Pomeroy block and the
Mcmillan opera house block. this morn

place all of the stores of the company
were kept and when the fire reached
the powder and shells, theeXplosion was

NEW RAILROAD IN SIGHT.
TO He Built From Minneapolis To
Rainy Lake.

nanny I-1he'
The point has been reached in the
promotion of the new northern rail
road out of Minneapolis, where the in
terested parties, or at least sufficient
number to meet the requirements Of
law. stand ready to incorporate. The
articles of incorporation are to be filed
today with the secretary of state. The
name of the new organization will be

Railway company, with the following
gentlemen as incOrpOratOrS: Senator
Washbmn. eX-Gov. John S. Pillsbury,
Judge NJ. b. Koon and c. c. Crane, all
of Minneapolis; d. c.. Durham, of An
Okla. and Henry f. Barker, of Cam
bridge.
1t was announced some time ago that
the project was being considered and
that Capt. Rich. of the 500, had been
sent out over the proposed route to
pass Judgment on it. He did so and the
steps taken have been largely induced
by the favorable character of his re-
port The line, it was said, in the in
formation summarized for the benefit
of the promoters, would be reasonably
easy to build; there would be no diff
cult engineering problems to compass;
the country traversed would in part be
found we'll settled and with a consider
able amount of traffic awaiting rail

On its way north the route, as now
laid out, will cross what has always

would be immense.
Minneapolis business men Will be in
terested in the new line in numerous
ways. It WILL in the first place, per-
nit them to extend their trade to a
section through which at present no
line of railroad runs. AS that section
develops their trade will grow. The
Rainy Lake trade is assuming consid-

it now enjoys. When placed in direct
communication with this district, Min

Success of Some of the North Da-
Iota Settlers.


General Passenger Agent F. I. Whit
ney Of the Great Northern, has the
following to say regarding the settling
up of some of the country on and near
his railroad:
Il have been reading and find much
of interest in letters received from
settlers sent to North Dakota during
the last two or three years. Here are
letters from men who took up home
Bteads three years ago, who raised from
81 900 to So, 900 worth of grain this year,
besides a seasons supply of garden
truck. Some of them raised more grain
this year than in all their lives on rent
Ed farms back East.
During the year ending Nov. /, the
Devils Lake land office had a record of
Dver 1000 homestead entries, which
leads by far any of the hundred or more
government land Offices in the United
States. Indeed for two years that
pf1ice has been leading in the number of
entries, a fact due to the immigration
work of this company. Our excursion
train Of / 700 new settlers last April was
the largest ever moved by railroad in
America, but that was true of the train
of 600 persons the year before. Next
sDrine. we expect to do as we'll as we
did this, and perhaps a little better.
Here is a letter from a young man
twenty-five years old-who reached
CandO three years ago with about So
in money. He went to work as labor
er on a farm, meanwhile taking
homestead He put his wages into a
team and plow and managed to do
some breaking on his land the first
year. The second year he had a small
crop Of wheat, oats. potatoes and flax,
enough to keep him and pay for addi-
tional machinery and some furniture

executive officers Of the roads to meet
but they have changed their minds and
have instructed the general passenger
agents to hold another meeting and to
devise some method by which the rates,
which will be restored on the 18th, can
be maintained after they have been
restored. This will be found much
more difficult task than the restora-
ton. 1t is thought by many Of the
general passenger agents that the stu
alton will never become settled until
some basis for the division of the traf-
fic has been agreed upon. Unless this
is done it is not thought that the pres
ent agreement will hold any better
than the numerous agreements that
have preceded 1t.

SURGICAL OPERATION FOR THE
CURE OF PILES AND RECTAL
DISEASES NO LONGER
NECESSARY.
a Medical Discovery Which Will
Change the Treatment of All
Such Diseases.

Change the Treatment of All
Such Diseases.
1t has long been thought not only
by some physicians but by people in
general that the common, painful and
exceedingly annoying trouble, piles,
was practically incurable by any 9TH
er means than a surgical operation
and this belief has been the cause of
years of needless suffering, because
of the natural dread of surgical opera
tons.
There are many salves, ointments
and similar remedies on the market
which afford some relief in cases of
piles. put the Pyramid Pile Cure is
the only preparation so far intro
duced that can be reliably depended
upon to cure to stay cured. every
form of itching, bleeding or protrud-
ing piles.
Mrs. NJ c. Hinkley, of COL Missis-
sippit ST., Indianapolis. was told by
her physicians that nothing but a
surgical operation costing between
seven and eight hundred dollars, could
cure her, as she had suffered for 10
years; yet even in such a case as
hers the Pyramid Pile Cure accom-
plished a complete cure. She says:
ST knew an operation would be death
to me and tried the Pyramid with very
little nope ana II is not TO be Won
dered at that L am so enthusiastic in
it's praise
Mr.. D. E. Reed, of South Lyons,
Mich, says: L would not take $500 and
be placed back where I was before I
used the Pyramid Pile Cure, 1 suffered
for years and it is now eighteen
months since 1 used it and not the
slightest trace of the trouble has re-
turned.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
nearly all druggists at so cents and 81
per package, and as it contains no
opium, concaine or other poisonous
drug, can be used with perfect safety.
No one need suffer from piles in any
form who will give this excellent rem
edy trial. Send for book on cause

Why Fewer Carloads of Cattle Were

Capt. Wheeler, commercial agent of

In speaking Of the stock movement
from the Montana plains to the market

though not as many head of cattle
were carried between the two places,
the Western ranchmen made as much
money as last year. owing to the i'm
proved prices which held during the
shipping season. There were shipped
By the Omaha company received from

ern in about equal shares, some 1900
cars of cattle, not including a large
number Of sheep. The slight decrease
in the number of cars shipped as
against the movement last year, Capt.
Wheeler explains, is due to the fact
that many carloads Of feeders were
sent via jamestown to Sioux City and
Omaha and did not as result pass
here to market. Capt. Wheel
