May Build From Braddock to Bismarck the
Coming Summer,
1t is now possible that the 500 line
may make extensions in North Dako-
ta this summer. : One of the plans
the managementssof that road has un
der consideration is an extension to
Bismarck. Such an enterprise would
call for less than thirty miles con-
struction of track. 1t would merely
be extending the present Bismarck
branch, so-called. from Braddock to
the capital Of the state.
The management of the road has
been constrained to consider the plan
by the recent offer of the city coun-
ell of Bismarck. Last year the coun-
Gil positively refused to make any
concessions. Within the past two
weeks the same body authorized rep
resentatives to offer such induce
ments for thea extension that their
Judgment suggested
Rich deposits of coal less than if
teen miles bt,yond the capital of
North Dakota were dilated upon by
the delegations The coal is spoken
of as being found in abundant guam
titles. 1t is Of the Ignite nature,
which is now being mined at Burling
ton, North Dakota, ana which finds
a ready demand for railroad uses
The proposed establishment of a
binding twineEplant at the Bismarc k
penitentiary has also been held out
Should the extension be made
from Braddock it would shorten the
distance from the twin cities to Bis
marck, now traversed by the North
ern Pacific. The management of
the 500 is understood to be consid err
ing the schemes There is some fear
OF possible excessive taxation of the
road, which springs from the assum-
ed sentiment of the state that the
railroads do not pay their just pro
portion of taxes. But the assurance
is made that i1 a short time the 500
will enter both Bismarck and Fargo.
