the others leaving the train at different
points and going into the harvest fields. At
present there are hundreds Of applications
for work each week, as the thrashiug
wages are lower than those paid by the
railroad. Other delays have been caused
by some part of the material not coming
forward as fast as needed. Last week
there was a delay Of q day and half
caused by shortage of angle. bara-the
"dingus" that Joins the rails together.
On those days that material is short the
crew is put to surfacing. There is great
amount of material in the yards at Kuhn,
and more is brought in every day. Some
folks at Kuhn say that material will be
gathered there this fall for. the extension
to the Burleiyh county coal fields in the
spring The iron horse will not reach the
end Of the track for this year, near the
Burleigh line. before the middle of Oc-
tober, if there should be as much delay as
there has been. But, if nothing should
hereafter interfere, the forty miles would
be completed by the last of this month,
as two miles day can be easily laid, Mr..
Underwood said to the writer, last Sun
day: "Tell the people of Emmons county
that cars fog grain and stock will be
provided Just rs soon as the road reaches

being built at Lehr and at Wishek, and
work on the same character of buildings
at other statious will be begun as soon as
each one is reached by the tracklayers, so
that lumber can be unloadct from the
cars. In the meantime all of those who
Can possibly do SO ahould hold their
