between the Bottineau Great Northern
branch and the 500. The north end of
the line will probably be at Richburg,
which is also to be the terminus of the
Great Northern branch, which has been
surveyed from Bottineau direct west to
the heart of the Mouse river, country.
Every quarter section of land is taken in
that section of, the state and it's fertility
seems almost unequaled. The two, new
branches would connect at Richburg
and give the Great Northern a loop
through the recently settled territory.
The 500 is confidently expected to
make it's long anticipated entry into Bis
marck with the century. For more
than year it has been at Braddock in
the next county TO the south and plans
are at last said to have been completed
for more track laying and the capital
city people expect to have their ambition
gratifed.
The most important 500 extension,
however, is expected to be into Fargo
from the vicinity of Elbow Lake, MINI.
A survey was made through the terri
tory last summer, ostensibly in the
interests of local company, and bill
passed by congress providing for the
erection of bridge across the Red river
for the new line. It was privately un-
derstood that the advance steps are for
the 500 and that actual promises have
been made by the company to come into
the North Dakota metropolis by fall.
This will give Fargo three trapsconti-
mental lines and if the road ever reaches
here it will insure further extension
northeast through Cass, Steele and into
Foster or Barnes county to connect with
the present 500 line, giving the road a
shorter route via Fargo to Minneapolis
from Portland, where the connection
the Canadian Pacific is made.
Ex-senator Washburn will extend his
road to Washburn, the Mclean county
capital. Last summer the road was
built from Bismarck to Wilton, the
present location of the Minnesotan's
great coal fields. Further work has
been planned along the Missouri river
after the town Of Washburn is reached

MISS PRESTON'S VIEWS

Well Satisfied with the work of the
.eo;cl a $ura

Directorof the State Morality Not Very
/ Well Satisfied with the work of the
f. Legislature.
| Miss Preston is not very we'll satisfied
with the work of the legislature. She
thinks it did not do much harm but
there are several things it might have
done that would have pleased Miss Pres
ton. She sees in the reapportionment
bill political scheme to- break down
the prohibition law, Notwithstanding the
fact that the republicans in the legis-
lature promptly voted down any meas
ures looking to resubmission. The fail
ure of the anti cigarette bill is another
disappointment, for which Miss Preston
+ is inclined to consure the senate steering
committee. She says four of the mem
bers of the committee told her they we're
for the bill, and then it was impossible
to bring. it up. Still, there were some
cmom,rmrendable m p features. Miss Preston in
anfs "a address at Jamestown on her way
home made some observations that are
thus noted:
Miss Preston said that the conditions
in the Legislature were vastly improved
over those of ten years ago when it was
| not an unusual case to see drunken
member on the floor of either branch of
the legislature. This year it was seldom
that there was any of the members un-
| der the influence Of liquor at any time.
No liquor can be obtained in the capitol
building and little in Bismarck any
where, pleasing state Of affairs. The
speaker thought perhaps the reform in
Bismarck was due to factional differ
ences but anyway it was good for the
cause. %4s33 %43 %...Ss 49,. ,*-5,s. g. .. ...,
The>usaal attempt to: secure resub-
mission had failed as had also the at
tempt to do away with druggists permits
for the sale Of intoxicants. The latter,
Miss Prestonp, thought was a most dan
gerous measure for it would put the
powersi in the hands Of physicians, some
|of%whem would be dishonest enough to
sell prescript by the hundred. This
had happened il Kansas where the law
was in effect for time. The legisla-
| ture, the speaker thought, was to be
commended for the defeat Of the bill
requiring no residence fora divorce.
The divorces are now required to
wait three months before 3remarrying
