Oregon Cbcrf Line.

The progress of the Oregon Short
Line for the current year has been re-
markable in all of It's departments, and
the building OF the ST. Anthony branch
fourteen months ago was but the fore
runner of continued construction this
year. and what has been built during
1901 il in turn only the forerunner Of
continued and valued construction for
1902. The year has also been unpre-
cedented in the history OF the corpora
ton by reason OF the contest with the
San Pedro road in the courts as well
as in the field. and the result OF this
dual contest is that the disputed ter
ritory is being occupied Jointly al
though with different rights OF way,
and what once threatened TO become
an intermjnable wrangle and snarl, has
now been straightened out, and the OPP
posIte sides of the Meadow Valley wash
viii be OCCUPIED respectively by the
short Line and the San Pedro roads.
The wears construction began in
February with the building Of the Wyo-
ming Western, coal road running
from Meyer Junction In Wyoming, 10
Glencoe, with mileage Of 1902 miles.
This road was constructed to open up
the Cumberland and Glencoe coal mines
which are now producing; the Cum
berland mine, averaging 800 tons, and
the Glencoe 1000 tons daily, approxim-

to be an independent line. Rumor now
has It interested In prospective coast
connections and Mr. Gould has been
busy In making denlals ~
There have been persistent reports OF
the Burlington extending into salt
Lake from Guernsey, Wyo., and SIX
weeks ago II did look as though at last
all difficulties had been solved and the
extension would be built. But with
the reported absorption Of the Burling-
ton into the Northern combine, the
scheme went into state OF coma IN
which II REMAINS. The Union racine
was reported as about to bulld 10
100000 short cut into Salt Lake by
pipe dreamer in Cheyenne who fooled
a morning paper into printing the
story, but the same was Immediately
denied by Mr.. Dickinson. The old Itch
Midland scheme, born over decade
ago, OF q desire to extend the Colorado
Midland TO Salt Lake City, stu con-
tinues as OF old, on paper and on paper
II is likely TO remain, The future OF the
Salt Lake and ogden road Is uncertain.
Mr.. Bamberger Is ready to sell az MS
price, and appearances would indicate
that certain New York parties are
about TO make deal with him with
the possible view OF extending the road
TO Ogden over the bench, reducing the
distance from this city by six miles.
On the whole, the railway outlook as
far as Utah Is concerned, Is promising
enough. Prominent railway officials
predict a great future for this city, and
not the least of that future Is the prom
lse II has OF becoming a great railway
center. With the completion of the
San Pedro road an immense traffic Will
be thrown In here, and that there Will
be big increase OF the population Is
certain.

Short Line Is the economy Of Its main
tenance and management, and the eff
flciency of its service. President George
A. Post, OF the Standard Car Coupler
of New York, called especial attention
TO this while in this city recently, and
said II was a matter of wonderment In
the eastern railroad world, Mr.. Post
spoke in the highest terms OF the road
and said II was destined to cut even
a greater figure in the future.
The Short Line suffered severe blow
early In the fall by the destruction OF
the large Office building occupied by 1t
on West Temple street. The ruin was
complete, and, as Mr.. Bancroft said at
the time, 1--WE haven't 80 much left as
the scratch of a pen. All IL gone" But
with characteristic energy the man
agement OF the Short Line Immediately
secured quarters in the Dooly block UNI
I'll the High School building could be
put in shape TO be occupied as offices,
And the latter structure has since been
the Headquarters and will be until the
fine Offices in the new News" building
are ready in March. Then the removal
there will give the railroad company
permanent and most desirable home.

North Dakota contributes a
gratifying feature to northwestern
trade for the present calendar year.
Its merchants are making a clean
sweep Of the balances against
them on the books Of the whole
sale house. In addition to paying
for this years purchases, North
Dakota merchants will wipe out
almost entirely, the balances
against them carried over from
1900. This is a remarkable show
ing; when it is considered that the
"hickertail" state was forced to do
business on a very short crop in
1900. Conditions in the usually
reliable Red River valley were the
most adverse in it's history. The
limited fax crop was the princi-
pal support to business in the
newer section of the state to the
west. Results of the present year
show that North Dakota has not
only overcome this handicap, but
has taken advanced ground by its
record Of debts paid and goods
handled in the past six months,
The North Dakota merchant could
not make this showing were it not
for the remarkable prosperity Of
the North Dakota farmer. The
western part of the state has again
proven more fortunate than the
Red River valley. It's big crop Of
wheat and fax has allowed thous-
ands Of new settlers to realize on
their brightest anticipations.
North Dakota has demonstrated
that the western prairies have OPP
portunities for the man with linz
tied capital to be found in few
parts Of the world.-Minneapolis

advance over conditions a year
ago, and is but a step in the. adj
vances that will be made
another year.
There is a vast new territory
to the eastward that is to be
crossed with a. transportation
line. Already railroad crews
have builded the steel tracks
into the county from the east,
gradually heading for the Mis-
souri, river. This III another
year will give Wasllburn an
outlet to the east and will
bring it trade from a new quar-.
ter. Its favorable situation or
the Missouri river insures it's
place as the leading town o.
Mclean county for all time te
come.
Let us then be up and doing
through the New Year for tin
good of Washburn and. thu
