CARPENTER AT BROOKINGS.
Tells Them About the Gulf & Manitoba
Railroad Project.
From the Brookings Press.

i FROM stHG 5bFOOGtHDS I-lCsS.'
E. b. Carpenter, a representative
of the Gulf & Interstate railroad,
was the guest of the Brookings
Commercial Club from Tuesday
noon until yesterday noon, coming
here over the Burlington by way OF
Bushnell
The Gulf q Interstate road starts
at Galveston, Texas, and its objec-
tive point is. Duluth, Mimi. The
road is finished and III operation as
far north as Kansas City, and 500
more miles ofRroad has been con-
tracted for, which will require
about two years to complete. North
OF Kansas City the road will make a
fork, one line going direct to Du-
luth and the other following the
Missouri river to Sioux City, and
from there the Sioux river toBrook-
ings by way Of Sioux Falls. From
here the road will turn east, through
Bushnell, Wilno. Marshall and to
Red wood Falls, where it will con
meet with the Duluth line.
Mr.. Carpenter did not hold out
any encouragement OF the road
reaching Brookings for at least
three years, but he made a PROPOSE
ton that will, if carried out, give us
practically a competing line on a
small scale, and from which we
might realize great benefit. The
proposition is in short, that the city
build line to Bushnell and operate
it in connection with the BurliLg-
ton until the Gulf road is built in
here, when that road would buy
the line. connect it here with their
line and extend it to Redwood Falls
along the route already mapped out.
Mr.. Carpenter says his company is
ready to contract to do this if our
people will take hold of the matter
and build the road to Bushnell
A special meeting of the CONNER
cial club was called Tuesday night
to meet with Mr.. Carpenter and talk
the matter over. AS result COM
mittee was appointed to take the
matter up with him and investigate
the cost and possibilities of the
short line.
Mr.. Carpenter is a very pleasant
as we'll as an energetic gentleman,
and he was very favorably received
by our citizens. He was much tax
en- with our city, and there is little
doubt that his visit here has made
Brookings one of the sure points in
the plans of the road he represents.

AMERICAN RAWTHORNS.
Surprises In the Field of botany That
Have Come I'm the Last
Few Years.

The explorations of botanists have
developed, during the past few years,
certain facts concerning the Amer
lean hawthorne which constitute one
of the surprises in the field of bot
any, says the Boston Transcript. To
the merely lay mind the mention of
the hawthorn commonly suggests
only an attractive ornamental tree
of English, or at least of European
cies Indigenous to our own soil prov
ing generally an interesting but quite
novel bit of information. And it
may be added that although stu
dents of the North American sylvia
have always been well aware of a
number of fine native species, they
too, it seems, until very recent years,
had but a faint comprehension of the
somewhat astonishing facts.
So far as is now known, the prin-
cipal home of the hawthorn is North
America. England has but single
species, Crataegus oxyacantha, which
with few others of continental
Europe have. in the hands of garden
crs and hybridizers, been so greatly
differentiated that their various orr
gins have become perplexed ques-
ton. japan, too, for a wonder, has
only one species, and but two or
three are yet known as indigenous
TO China. though this great field may
Weld others to more exact research.
American forests, however, abound
in them. They are distributed from
Newfoundland to the Pacific, and
southwark to Texas.
