A rumor is in circulation that
the Great Northern Railway COM
pany will extend their Aneta
branch the coming summer to
counteract the 500 line from the
Lake of the Woods, which will pass
through the northern part of RAM
sey county and connect with the
500 between Minot and the inter-
national boundary. So far as can
be learned the Aneta branch will
run east Of Stump Lake by way Of
Bartlett, thence northwest to Fox
and Sweetwater lakes, and thence
to the Canadian line between Rolla
and Langdon. We do not vouch
for the truth of the above report,
but to our mind it seems a reason
able proposition as no engineering
difficulties would be encountered.

mot much" this time.
Bartheld & Englehorn the har-
ness milliners, are preparing for a
big spring trade. Their shop is
one of the finest in the country,

larger town.

P. w. Walker last week received
telegram from his old home in
Drayton, Ont, announcing the
sad news of the death ofhis father.
While the news was somewhat of
a shock to P. W., it was not wholly
unexpected, as his father had been
ailing for some years. If true
sympathy could assuage grief, that
given to the bereaved son will in
some respect lesson the sorrow, if
not the loss.
Ed Richardson, our tonsorial
artist, has arrived at the conclu-
sion that expansion is a pretty
good thing, after all. He has
formed partnership with Chas.

Methodist ENTERPRISE.

A much needed and felt want is
soon to be realized as the Method
ist people are commencing to bestir
themselves and are busy laying
plans for the beautifying of their
place of worship. They fully
realize that the general public,
and in fact any community of
worshippers, demand attractive
ness and beauty to help solemnity
and alteration in house of praise.
They also realize the fact that
their sanctuary is situated in one of
the finest residential parts of the
city-and few external repairs
will add greatly to the attractive
ness in that part of the town.
We believe they purpose raising
the church, putting stone found
alton in and excavating the cellar
and rettting the furnace; also
painting without and papering
within, as we'll as putting in some
minor repairs. and paying off the
present indebtedness. When done
this will not only lend attractive
ness and comfort to worshippers,
but will greatly add to the life of
the church. They are hopeful of
raising at least $1,000, and in this
good work they look for sympathy
and cooperation from every lover
of the city's welfare.

Initiative and Referendum.
Pembina Pioneer Express:
There is a lot of talk and argu-
Devils Lake inter-ocean., 1900-03-02

ment on the subject of Initiative
and referendum" Now that
initiative and referendum business,
as we take it, is considerably like
voting on constitutional amend
ments. This state has only been
in business since 1890. During
that time several amendments
have been voted on. Being "con-
stitutional,' they are certainly of
more Importance and interest than
statutes. Besides by having to
pass two Legislatures they have
been two years at least before the
people.
Now the Pioneer Express offers
years subscription to this paper
to any of it's editorial friends who
favor this new tangled voting idea,
if they will without reference to
printed statistics, but from men,
ory alone, give correct answers to
the following questions:
l. How many amendments
have been voted on?
2. What was the subject in
volved in each amendment?
3. How many of these amend
ments did you neglect entirely
when you marked your ballot?
4. How many did you vote for
5. How many did you vote
against?
6. About what proportion of
the general voters list used their
privilege on these amendments?
The fact is we'll known that even
our constitutional amendments
are rarely thought of by the aver
age voter a week before election
day and large proportion Of the
few who do mark them, place their
crosses almost by guess-work and
we believe that even a large pro-
portion of even so we'll informed
people as editors on amend
ments or don't vote on amend
ments much like the average
voter. Anyway that is our per.
sonal experience.
