LIBRARY STATION CHANGE
The Down Town Station Is Removed
From, VoegelI Brothers to


The rapid rate at which the business
or the down town station Of the public
llprary IS increasing was strongly en-
phaslzed this morning when the station
was removed from Voegeli's drug store at
Washington and Hennepin avenues to J.
n Garland's confectionery store in the
N1collet House block across the street.
Thomas Voegeli explained that the BUSH
ness had increased to such an extent that
the room which he could spare In his
store was no longer large enough to ac-
commodate the literary folk, who find it
more convenient to get their mental
pabulum down town than at the central
library building or other branch stations

GROWTH OF OUR STATE

President Hill, of the Great Northern,
in his speech at the irrigation convention
held at Bismarck last week gave some
facts and figures relating to the growth of
his line of railroad in North Dakota
which show as strongly as any compari-
sons are able the rapid and substantial
advance of our state in the past twenty
years. In part MIR. Hill says:
North Dakota will never be a state
to carry on the larger manufacturing
industries of the country. But your
great resource of wealth is and always
will be in the soil. Your soil and your
climate make rich gold mine that
never wears out, but which. cultivated,
will enrich the state and country in
future years. All the wealth in the
world comes from four sources: Either
the farm, the forest, the mine, or the
sea. Now, you have got your share of
good soil and your farms are productive,
and I will say to you before am done
that you have made degree of prog
ress that is not surpassed by that of any
state in the Union. I question if any
other state in the Union has ever equall-

not sorry that it is your good luck.
Now Churchs' Ferry, increased from
100000 to $4,000 Then coming up on
the Cando branch where the business is
purely local-Maza, $4,000: Cando from
Sis, 600 to 1926, OOOEand still when those
good Dunkards came lots of people said
they were no good because they did not
come to town often enough for drink
of whiskey. Considine. from $1,000 to
$4,000; Bisbee from ST., 900 to 100000:
Perth from $4,000 to $4,000: Rolla
from $4,000 to $4,000. Now / will get
back to Rugby, $4,000 to $4,000: Bar
ton from $4,000 to $4,000: Willow City
from $4,000 to s147, GOO; Omemee, from
$4,000 to Sl28,O0O. Now on the main
line where the total revenue last year
was $4,000 it was this year S135,OOO,
that is at Granville. Minot from s124,-
GOO to 1881 600. Now take Souris, little
station northwest of Bottineau, the first
year the revenue was $4,000 and the
second year, s289,OOO. These figures are
encouraging to me and they ought to be
to- you. They mark growth that you
cannot find anywhere else in any state
in the Union.

miles Of railway. In 1892, 3,417 miles:
in 1893. 5.598 miles In 1882 we had 49,
locomotives: in 1892, 327, and in 1893,
637. OF passenger cars in 1882 We had
l19: 1892, 268 and in 1903, 544. Freight
cars in 1882, 1907; ton years later, in
1892, 1865. in 1893, 29,73l. Now here
is the material growth Of the Northwest:
In 1882 we moved 100000 tons of
freight: In 1903 We hauled 16,148OOO
tons: or 1000 per cent, in twenty-one
years. Now the tons of freight hauled
in 1882 these records were not kept
and cannot give the tigures-in 1882
that is hauled one aile-were 997,OOO.-
GOO: in 1903, 1905, 100000 or 400 per cent,
in ten years. And the important thing
to you and to US as well-in' 1882 our
rate for carrying ton of freight. that
is. the average rate over the whole line
one hundred miles, was s2.51. In 1892
it was s1.2l, and in 1903 it was 6.85.
which is one-third Of what the rate was
twenty-one years ago.
You have so many stations on the lines
of the Great Northern-l do not know
about the other lines in the state, al
though 1 believe I am charged with
owning about all the railroads now
north of Saint Louis-but have been
busy all the time trying to take care of
our own lines. 1t used to be rare &c
casion that any station would exceed in
revenue in any year 100000. Now there
are SO many in North Dakota that can
not count them without referring to a
book. But now here in North Dakota
you have done yourselves proud. To
give an idea of the growth will try
and be brief-Aneta, it is only few
years since the track was extended there,
Hatton, sl55,OOO: Northwood, s125WO:
Fargo. s27l,OOO; Grand Forks, $59o'o0o.

Threshing has become thing of the
past and We can state that farmers are
disappointed and many thoroughly dis
gusted with flax. The average will not
run over nine bushels and do we'll to
touch that figure.
Another addition to the population of
Glenila is the baby girl, recently arrived
to illuminate the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Norman. There is nothing problematic
around here that needs to make Teddy
Roosevelt worry about racial suicide.
The eight month term of school here
which starts the coming week and
will continue through the winter will be
conducted by Miss McNiven. Calvin
will have one of the few schools in the
county to continue open through the
winter and it starts in with every pros
pect of big attendance.
In the way of an item of local interests
we may say that Robert Mountain is
wearing broad smile since the arrival
of that big baby boy few days ago.
The congratulations he receives reveal
the fact that the youngster is likely to
be the "whole thing in this part Of the
township for while at least.
Now that the fall work is about all
cleaned up many young men around here
are talking strongly of trip through
the Canadian Northwest, to look over
the country and if there is anything to
suit take up claims as land around here
is high in price and but little state or
government quarters to be gotten hold
of.
The big social event to which our
people now look forward is the box
social, which is yearly gotten up by the
supporters of the church. This comes
off on Wednesday Nov. 18th with every
indication that the amount realized will
beat the record Of last year and give the
people al. Daniels a lead that will induce
them to go some if they want to keep up
with the procession.
