RAISING the GRADE
Work Train With Steam Shovel
at Work West OF the Big
Muddy.

The Northern Pacific officials will take
precautions against repetition Of the
trouble from high water on the bottoms,
west OF the bridge over the Missouri.
There is mile or two Of low land there
which Is flooded each spring when there
is unusually high water and the trains
are delayed for several days, and the
track comes in for repair afterwards.
The road, to provide against this, will
fill in the low track along the line to the
extent Of five or six feet, and will thus
be enabled to run trains, notwithstand.

A work train is busy A. the bridge,
with steam shovel and plow, and is
conveying earth from this eide of the
river to fill in with. The work will take
some time, but will prove OF great sd-
vantage to the road in rendering their
traffic secure against the high water.

History is only repeating itself. The
states Of Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa and
other states have all passed through
just such period as We are passing

people of those states found that one

FURTHER ENCROACHMENTS.

Russian Troops Continue to Spread Over
Chinese Territory.
VANCOUVER, B. c., April 27.-Orienta]
advices by the steamer Empress Of
China are as follows:
Russia is making further encroach-
ments. She is, according to Pekin ad-
vices, constructing roads from Pamir
plateau to the frontier of China. A
large force of Russian troops has already
marched from Pamir into the province
of Santiago. Officers commanding the
force declare that they have for their
object the construction of roads, but
their real object appears to be some
thing very different. Chinese local
authorities, reporting the matter to the
Pekin government, declare that the
Russian troops have arrived to occupy
territory and have warned the govern
ment that that the matter is very grave
indeed.
To avoid partition, the Chinese gov
ernment proposes to open to foreign
trade all those ports or bays which are
in danger of being claimed by other
powers, before any demand is made.

BOUGHT n. P. LANDS
w. D. WaShburn Buys 49,
900 Acres of Coal and
Stock Land.
Various RumorS About the
500 Road Extensions in
North Dakota.
Mr.. Washburn Says the Road
Will be Built in
Time.

The Minneapolis Journal says the W.
D. Wsshburn who has bought 115,000
acres OF n. P. land in the Bismarck dis
trlct will build road to tap the country
If the 500 does not. Mr.. Washburn
bought all the N. P. grant IN towns
covered by ranges from l41 to LAT, IN
towns from 70 to 81. There is good
deal Of Ignite coal and the region is one
great in possibilities for stock growing.
The Journal adds:
It is known that General Wsshburn
has made strenuous efforts to persuade
the 500 to extend it's line from Braddock
into this new country. So far be has
net been successful. Those on tho in
side know very we'll why the 500 hesi-
tates to build, but the reason has not
been made public. 1t may be said
however, that the 500 people are very
favorable to the proposed extension.
General Washburn's statement as to
building a line Of his own simply means
that it the 500 doesn't take up the pro-
posed extention he will build line
connecting Washburn with Bismarck or
some other station on the Northern
Pacific. TIE distance from Bismarck to
Washburn, which is the county seat OF
Mclean county and on the Missouri
river, is forty miles. The line would
probably be extended some distance
north of Wsshburn IN order to tap the
recently acquired lands in the most
advantageous manner.
General Wsshburn declined to name
the purchase price Of the lands, but it
must have been several hundred thous.
and dollars.
General Manager Pennington of the
500 is quoted in the Minneapolis
Journal as saying that there ls no truth
in the rumors that the 500 would build
to Formsn northwest to Grlswold or
Clark City or jamestown this year, nor
extend it's line from Brsddock to Bis.
