go to state where land is not
so dear as that in Iowa. The
price of land in Iowa ranges from
$35 to $75 per acre and the
young people find difficulty in

Messrs. Bratt looked over

It is believed that the inten-

construct the branch east from

Sykeston and that the east
branch when finished will run
through Cooperstown, Sher
brooke in Steele county through
Trail county possibly at or near
Mayville,. crossing the Red river
and on to Fertile, Mimi, where it
will connect with the N. p.
Winnipeg line. This would give
the road some of the finest wheat

It would cross the Great North

will extend west from Sykeston

jamestown Mans Lucky
Escape.

A New York telegram tells of the
manner escape of the Wells family
from the burning OF the Wind.
sor Hotel in that city:
Edward P. Wells, his wife and
daughter, OF jamestown, N. D., had
apartments on the sixth floor of the
Windsor Hotel on the Fifth avenue
side, and were watching the St.
Pattick's Day parade when the fire
broke out. They had hardly time to
realize that something had gone
wrong when the smoke rolled through
the corridor and their escape was cut
off in that direction.
The window was now the only
hope, and to jump meant certain
death. In this emergency Mr.. Wells
besought his family to remain calm,
and lie then proceeded with great
deliberation to measure the chances
Of escape. He first paid out the
fire escape rope in the room until he
saw that it would reach the ground,
and, hauling it back, he quickly but
securely fastened it about his
daughters waist.
He then lifted the form over the
window ledge and slowly allowed it
to descend. He wound the rope
about his hands and braced his feet
against the wall of the room, mean
while slowly paying out the rope at
the end of which dangled the almost
inanimate body of his daughter.
Smoke and flame shot out at intervals
from the windows below, but the pas
sage Of the girl was not retarded, and
ina few seconds reached the ground.
There she was quickly taken care
of by the firemen, who released her,
and the rope was quickly hauled
back by Mr.. Wells and exactly the
same performance was gone through
with in the case of his wife, who had
stood at his side at the window. For
the third time Mr.. Wells pulled the
rope back, after he had seen his fami-
ly in safety, and then made prepara-
tons for his own descent.
He recognized seemingly that it
would be impossible for him to go
down hand-over-hand, and knowing
the lacerations that would occur if he
slid down the rope, he first carefully
tied up his hands in towels, then he
clambered out on the window sill and
swung clear. He shot down like
lightning, but there were ready hands
below to break the fall, and when the
bandages had been removed from the
mans hands it was found that he had
not even a blister on them. A great
shout went up from the crowd as
they saw Mr.. Wells land in safety.
He asked for his family, thanked the
firemen and others for their assistance
and disappeared. He found tempor-
ary shelter with his wife and daughter
with some friends on Fifth avenue
and his subsequent place of abode
was not learned.
