SHUT u TIE 500.

The building of the branch line by
the Northern Pacific between Cassel-
ton and Dickey, the jamestown Capt.
tai thinks will efectually shut out the
500 and prevent its building into
jamestown from the south.
Another contract for the line con-
Meeting Minor and Cakes, about "a
miles, will be awarded in a few days.
The completion of this cutoff may
give Jamestown another line to the
Twin cities and additional mail and
passenger facilities if the local bus
ines between Jamestown and Minor
warrants a passenger train-wnich is
not probable now.
The road has a number of locomo-
tives in the Fargo shops undergoing
overhauling and repair in anticipation
OF heavy traffic this spring on this di-
vision. Large forces of men are also
at work on. the various sections put
ting the track and roadbed in perfect
shape.

They were in charge Of Foreman

elements arrive. General Washburn
is anxious to have the work pushed to-
completion and the Winston brothers
never lose time in a railroad contract.
General Washburn has rented the
residence at present occupied by e. q.
Morris for a term of three years. 1t
will be made the headquarters for the
officials in charge of the work of CON

Shortly after getting back, Captain
Purdon sent in his resignation, but 1t
was never acted upon, and a short
time ago the other officers and mem
bers of the company prevailed upon
him to reconsider the matter. He
did SO, and yesterday received a letter

menting him very highly or his ser
vices and expressing the greatest sat
isfaction that he had decided to re-
main in the guard.

FORT LINCOLN.
That Will be the Name Of the New
Military Post at Bismarck, as
Settled by Department.

E%-.gMW%-e5-E.& - -.Sr.N. ~ E+n%E"- e. %.-..' 81
The new post now in curse Of con-
struction at this place will be named
Fort Lincoln.
This is the name settled upon by the
war department at the recommends
ton of Senator Hansbrough.
No name could have been selected
more pleasing to the people of this
vicinity, or that will be more lasting.
1t was the name of the old fort on the
other side Of the river and since the
post there was abandoned the name
of one of the nations greatest presi-
dents has not been perpetuated in any
of its military posts. When the mat
ter of the name came up, Senator
Hansbrough was urged by several
members of the citizens committee to
ask that the fort be named Fort
Abraham Lincoln" and this has been
done.
Here's to the new Fort Lincoln.

POST BUILDINGS.
Major Robertson Tells a ST. Paul
Newspaperman Of Them.

Pioneer Fress: There will be
model barracks at Bismarck's new
post" declared last night Major e. B.
Robertson. Of the Fifteenth infantry,
US. A., speaking at the Hotel Ryan
to a reporter. And Major Robertson
should know. Since last September
he has supervised the construction of
Fort Lincoln's successor. we have
completed two buildings, he contin-
sued. .One will accommodate the en-
listed men. The other will be most
convenient for two sets of officers. The
soldiers viii think sometimes that
they are guests of a first class hotel,
SO elaborate will be the heating APP
paratus, the bath rooms of the bar
racks. But the country says that
there is nothing too good for the men
behind the gun.
of course, we haven't any men up
there vet, Q any guns. But they're
both coming. imagine, however,
that we shall need some more build
ings before the men arrive. We
ought to have some stofehouses, Of
course, some stables, hospital, and
the like. All these must be added.
But as yet we have expended only one
appropriation--for $4,000. The rifle
range is a good one, even il it is sew
eral miles from the post proper
And to think" added a local army
man, who had come to welcome his
brother officer, TO think that Fort
Abraham Lincoln, only q few miles
from this new post, was declared un-
necessary a short time ago. and was
actually abandoned. Yet Lincoln was
q great post in its day. With some
modern improvements it would have
been a fine post yet
But it's a queer story-.the rise and
fall and resurrection OF SO many mill
tary posts out west. AT first the post
is stern military necessity. The
white settlers must have protection.
And that demand is genuine. SO the
post is built, Some thousands 81
acressof public land are set aside as 8
military reservation. But after a Whils
as the country settles UP and the land
grows more valuable, protest is
heard against the posts existence
There's no Indiansi There's no dan.
ger. Nobody,s afraid Abolish TIC
useless expenses, The post is abol.
ished. The reservation lis All sold
Then after a year or two comes Ire
suggestion that after all q post il
needed there for strategic reasons. MOI
on account OF Indians, but because Of
lofty considerations of military STRAIT
