A Dream of the Future.

W. D. Washburn, of Minneapolis,
will build private railroad from
Bismarck to Washburn, distance of
forty miles, along which line he owns
large tracts OF land. This is but the
beginning of private ownership of
railroads in North Dakota. When
Tripler's liquid air becomes the pop
ular motive power and the single
track elevated system gets foothold
every farmer will have his private
railroad leading to his place from the
commercial centers, railroads being
as common as the wagon roads now
in vogue. This is "dream" which
no person who has been keeping in
close touch with the tread of pro-
gress can say will not be realized
within very few years.-Milton

Benefit Looked For.

Wheat shippers in the state believe
that they will get a fair average re-
suit of wheat inspection, through the
McCollom bill passed by the Mimi
esota legislature The bill was favor
ed by the special committee that
went down to St.. Paul during the
session of the North Dakota leglsla-
ture. The committee was headed by
Senator Marshall of Oakes, and its
findings that much of the injustice
thst was alleged against by the
farmers of the state was due to the
fact that the system of appeal was
defective, and eperated against the
shippers, While favoring federal
inspection, the committee stated as
its belief that the McCollum bill
would do much aid to shippers, and
that until federal inspection was
brought about, Minnesota inspection
should be supported by the state of

The Fargo city council has started
a movement for a monument to be
erected at Fargo to the memory of

right but we believe such monu-
ment to the state dead ought to be
erected at the capital at state expense,
There is no reason why cities,

not show patriotic pride in local way
by erecting monument, respective

North Dakota 100 Years Ago.


Those who think that Nortn Dako-

that there is place in the state that

1t will. surely React.

General Miles has been turned
down by the ambalmed bsef court of
inquiry, and the magotty. rotten
beef, with its maggotty, rotten pur-
veyors have been covered a foot deep
in whitwash. But if the whitwash
had been piled on mile deep, the
stencil would still come up into the
nostrils of the general public, which
almost unanimously believes that the
beef was all that Gen. Miles said it
was. Now it is said that he is to be
forced to resign. If he is, it will be
a sorry dayfor the fellows who are
instrumental in forcing him to do so.

A Sensible Decision.

Reed is travelling man, who was
going to take train at small
station in Wright county. He appli-
ed to the station agent for the
necessary premit to ride in the ca
boose of the freight, which the COM
pany was accustomed to give to any
body who applied. The agent was
busy, and when the train pulled out
Reed swung aboard. Not having tho
premit, the conductor put him off
without unnecessary violence. He
sued for damages, The jury was in
structed to find for the defendant on
the ground that the passenger ticket
did not constitute right to be on
the freight train.
The supreme court holds that this
riding on a freight train was regular
traffic, and that if the passenger gave
reasonable time-he says he was
there fifteen minutes before the train
started-he had right to take it.
1t was the company's business to
provide the premit. He had tho
same right to take the train and offer
fare that man has where the COM
pany requires regular ticket to be
bought beforehand. If the com
pany doesn't provide it, the passen-
ger may take the train anyway
