TENSION.

Dunseith Magnet: Do not get tx
cited. Keep your neither garments
on. Do not get a spring railroad
fever. Do not believe anything you
hear and do not believe any part of
this article, for there may be truth in
it. The writer has some reason to
think there is, and we wish to have
it distinctly understood that no
ment for a farmers railroad from
Leeds to Dunseith will prevent the
statement we are about to make from
coming true. Here is what we have
to give you: Take it in small doses:
The Northern Pacific will build
from Leeds to Dunseith during the
coming summer. Lumber has been
ordered for the boarding shanties and
a constructor he's been ordered to be
ready to begin work as soon as posi-
BILE in the spring. The grading will
begin at Leeds, and the crew will
work this way as rapidly AS possible.
The grade will be a good one, and the
ties and rails will be laid north from
Leeds as soon as the grade is really.
The whistle of the locomotive will be
heard in Dunseith about the first of
November.

FRIDAY, MARCH 6,l903.

An important event in the financial
and railway world took place the 9th
or day without attracting much atten-
tion, and it's great significance has
been entirely overlooked. We refer to
the election of John D. Rockefeller,
Jr., and James H. Hyde to the direc-
tory of the Missouri Pacific and other
railroads of the Gould system. These
two yonug men, both of them under
thirty years of age, represent one of
the largest financial interests in the
world, unsurpassed in many respects.
The Rothschild "crowd,' as it is
called; the Morgan interests, the
Harrimans and the J. j. Hill combi-
nations control enormous sums of
money and influence, but none of
them can command the ready capital
that lies at the call Of MI. Rockefel-
Ter. Mr.. Hyde, although but p
years old, is at the head of n of the
largest and most influential corpora
tion in the world, the Equitable Life
Insurance Company. He is not only
at the head of that institution, but
its absolute owner and dictator. The
capital stock of the company is only
800, 900, although it's asseats exceed a
thousand millions, and young Mr..
Hyde is the fortunate owner of $751;,
600, or 6fty-one of the n hundred
shares. He inherited from his father,
who had no superior in recent genera.
tions either in organization or in en-
terprise. He was a man of dictator.

industry. He surrounded himself

GOV. sHoRTR1DGE IN MISSOURI


Forum: Ex-Gov. Eli Shortridge,
in the days "befo' the war; was
accounted a true sportsman and
he prided himself on his fine pack of
hounds. II q governor lived in north
Missouri and was often seen with
his pack, vending his way to the
Charlton River hunting grounds. On
one of these occasions, a yankee,
somewhat deaf, and a native Mis-
sourian (near neighbors) conversing
upon some local topic, when Eli and
his yelping hounds went flying by. but
screened from view by the timber.
AS the chorus grew in volume, the
Missourian exclaimed. "Listen to
that music" Whereupon the yam
kee said: ''speak louder, I can't hear
anything for those damn hounds. -
