SEATTLE MILL GO AHEAD
GREAT NORTHERN-NORTH PA
CIFIC DEAL MEANS MUCH TO
THAT CITY
CHERISHED PLAN A REALITY
The Burlington Is About to Secure
Terminal Facilities at Chi
cagO, and May Build to
the Coast.

President James J. Hill, of the Great
Northern, will not return from the East
until the latter part of this month"; when
he will probably proceed to the Pacific
coast in the interest of the projected
union depot to be erected at Seattle.
AS published in the G o b yesterday,
President Hill has been successful in
getting the Northern Pacific to cooper
ate with him in the construction of this
important building. which will cost not
less than $1,OOOOOO.
In speaking of the successful arrange
ment for this depot prominent local
railroad man stated yesterday:
by his persistent industry President
Hill has consummated a deal that will
be worth millions Of dollars to
Seattle and the state of Wash
ington and that will extend
its beneficent influences all along the
North Pacific coast. The extent of such
an enterprise cannot be accurately ap-
preciated, but I will venture the asser-
ton that this very move will be the
means of converting Seattle into the
greatest railroad center in the West.
1t will become the metropolis of the slope
in other ways as we'll, and if l am not
very much mistaken the town will soon
gain a lead over her sister cities that
will make her hard to catch. The peO-
pie of Seattle have been working and
hoping for just such an acquisition for
several years and President Hill has had
the plan, now completed, in mind for
equally as long q time.
81 have no doubt the people Of the
Western city will be rewa :ded far be"
yond their expectations " "a the struc-
Lure is completed, for I Leieve it will
surpass in proportions and imposing eff
feet anything they have yet contem-
plated"

cents per bushel on grain, and had they
so desired they could have made cents
the rate; but he said that it would not
have been possible to have maintained
any higher rate than 4 cents during
October. He said that, in his opinion,
the Western Elevator association, of
Buffalo, had been instrumental in low
ering the vessel grain rate from Chicago,
Duluth and other points 10 Buffalo. He
further said that all the elevators in
Buffalo are in the association except
several smaller ones.

FARGO, N. D., Nov. 15-The end of
the domestic troubles of Attorney and
Mrs. J. G. Mahnken have been reached at
last. Mrs. Mahnken is the daughter of
Mayor Johnson, and Mr.. Mahnken was

alleging adultery. In the meantime there
were a half-dozen other suits instituted
for the custody Of the children and the
possession of property. Finally the whole
matter was settled on stipulation, by
which Mrs. Mahnken withdrew her last
action for divorce and allowed Mr.. Mahn-
ken to secure a decree on the ground of
desertiOn. The eldest child was awarded
to the custody Of Mrs. Mahnlzen. and the
two smaller children to the father. The
