Two good realty sales are reported.
One is the purchase. by Max D. Pet
ersen. of some additional property
adjoining his valuable holdings on
the corner of Fourth and Main
streets. This purchase is made from
Col. James +. Donahue, and com
prises two residences, Nos. 215 and
PIT West Fourth street, adjoining on
the west the property he already
held there. and almost opposite the
city hall. The frontage on Fourth
street of both these properties is 81
feet. Mr.. Petersen now holds 1872
feet on Fourth street. and $50 feet
on Main, and the tract is one of the
most valuable unoccupied bits of
land in the city. The consideration
of this valuable property is stated at
$4,000 The other transfer men
toned is one that involves another
beautiful residence for this city.
Edward ;. Johnson has bought of
Frank II. Miller the old w. F. Ross
residence, on the northeast corner
of Fifteenth and Brady streets. IT is
$50 feet each way. and is one of the
finest residence properties in the
city. His idea at this time is the
erection of a house that will cost not
less than Sc, ZOO, and the harmonious
improvement of the whole property
in keeping. The price paid for this
property is $4,000. This makes a
figure of little better than 500
front foot, which is a good figure for
residence property almost a mile
from the heart of the city.
The bricklayers are steadily at
work on the outer walls of the Rock
Islands passenger station in this
city, and they have them now well
mp toward the top of the windows of
the second story. As long as the
weather lasts as we have it now the
good work will go on. The early
summer will see the building com
plefed and ready for use, unless there
is delay in the completion of the ele-
waited tracks. But there is not likely
to be delay there. The concrete
work that remains to be done is not
so vast in extent that it cannot be
rushed with good deal of speed, if
there is need to rush il. The prob
abilities are that the viaduct work,
retaining walls, and filling, will all
be carried on so to approach compile
tion with the passenger station.
There is no apparent reason for the
delay of the date of the opening of
the elevation beyond one compare

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 2.-The west
bound Northern Pacific train was held
up at Sand Point, Ida, siXty-five miles
east of here, at II p. m. The robbers,
of whom there were seven, forced the
engineer to stop the train, after which
they uncoupled the express car. Then
they compelled the engineer, at the
point of a revolver, to pull up the track
about three miles further, where they
tried to wreck the car with dynamite.
The explosives failed to work for some
unknown cause and after spending fif-
teen minutes with the car the robbers
decamped, allowing the engineer to go
back to the train with the engine.
Two other thugs had guarded the
train, keeping the passengers inside
by firing revolvers along the sides.
No attempt was made to molest the
passengers and, after the engine came
back, the other robbers left and the
train came on to Spokane. The train
was heavily loaded.

HAS SENT UP PRICES.
American Demand for British Iron and
Steel.


New York, Aug. 27.-Increased de-
mand for British iron from Chicago,
New York and Philadelphia has sent
up prices here, says a London dis
patch to the Tribune. A report that
orders have been received for 10000
tons has not been confirmed with au-
thority, but the American demand for
manufactured iron and steel has suf-
feed to stiffen prices and compensate
for a declining trade from India and
Australia and the stagnant condition
of South Africa. When the Amer
ican steel combination was formed
there was a general conviction among
British iron masters that there must
be defensive movement among the
manufacturers here and in Germany
and Belgium. Exports of iron and
steel from these countries have been
increasing steadily since December
and the effect of the American combi-
nation is not dreaded as it was last
year. The British market has not been
converted into a dumping ground for
American iron and steel and prices
have risen with the increased demand
for export to the United States.

Hiuh Prices for Steers.

Last week Commissioner J. B. Stod-
dard of Billings county marketed
steers in Chicago which averaged
1850 pounds, at $3.50 per cwt., max
ing a gross price of $107.90, or a little
over $100 per head net. This is the
highest price per head for grass-fed
steers on record in North Dakota. The
cattle were native steers, four years
old, and had they been on the high
market of the previous week would
easily have netter the owner $110 per
head
