Miss Kate Gogins is away making an
sextended visit with friends in Langdon
Ed. Ryer is home here again after an
absence of six months spent on the farm
of r. B. Lang. near Milton.
John r. Iogins and James Stonehouse
have lately combined in purchasing a
Hawkeye grubbing machine, that has a
capacity of 10000 pounds.
Sever Berger has had his farm hands
busy since getting through seeding
cleaning out the brush and underground
in front of his place. This improvement
has already added greatly to the appear
ance of his place.
Now we learn that the farmers and the
cement mine people who are still after
the railroad are proposing to turn over
the s125.OOO that has been subscribed to
the 500 railroad line, which at the pre-
sent time is extending its line to Grand
Forks and will build on to the cement
mine. the 500 having agreed to have the
road completed and in operation by Octo-
Der lst. The inducing of the 500 line to
build in here is one of the best possible
things that could have been undertaken
by the people as its introduction into
this section means opposition to the
other lines of railroad operation through
this section. What the 500 is aiming at
is carrying their road through to the
boundary line and connecting it with
the Canadian Pacific.
The railroad which was to have been
built through here this summer by the
joint efforts of the farmers and the Penn
bina cement mine people has for the
present at least been abandoned. Of
the fund raised we understand that the
farmers had subscribed $4,000 and the
cement mines company 100000. This
left shortage in the sl75,O00 required,
of about $4,000 on the part of the far
mers, whose proportion of the total cost
was to have been $4,000. It has turned
out that quite number who were most
enthusiastic at the time the building of
the road was first talked of were the
ones to hold back when it came to put
ting their names down on the list and
take an actual share of the responsibility

fits of returning health.
A well-known manufacturers agent
of New York City visited the grocery
department of one of the big New
York stores not long ago and there he
tasted a sample cup of Postum made
the right way. He said afterwards:
"Just through the energy of that young
woman who was serving Postum there
became convert to the food drink
and gave up the drug drink coffee and
got well.

gradually becoming a complete wreck,

make the change.

and have used Postum instead ever
since. My family at first called me
crank, but seeing how Postum bene-
flied me the first month they all got
in line and as a result of Postum's re-
