vicss that the 500 Will extend it's lines
ffem Glenwood. Ninn.. ON to Emerson,
Manitoba, It Is announced with soms
degree Of authority that at least three
stub lines VIII extend west from that
branch into North Dakota. It ID said
that enc win be built from i point near
Detroit to Fargo on which direct train
service will be run betweca Fargo
and the Twin Cities. and that another
line will extend into North Dakota at
or near Grand Forks and third be-
tween Grafton and the international
boundary. The company has had rep
resentatives in that territory investi-
eating the conditions and it Is said
that for some time the proposition was
to run direct to Fargo and then up the
Dakota side to the international boun-
dairy. but later the other plan was
adopted. There may yet be change
In the plans which will give the Dako-
ia side branch instead of the propos-
ed stub lines. 1t is claimed that the
line into Fargo will be thirty miles
shorter to the Twin Cities than either
the Great Northern or Northern Pacific.

Crop Prospects.

il Is expected that there win be q
slight increase OF wheat sown this
spring In the Red River valley. and
probably in the Western counties 40
well. The area Of land sown to max
VIII bs diminished. one Of the elements
tending In tfAs direction being the. 10.
duced price. and another the fact that
tlax seldom does well when raised from
year to year on the same soil. The
falling on from these causes will be
partly made up by the fax sown on
new breaking. which will be large. as
there will be many thousands Of acres
OF new land broken in the Western
counties this spring. There will be
more hoed crops and forage crops
sown this season, this applying to the
entire state. The dairy interest is
growing rapidly.

Rooney Sentenced Second Time.

John Rooney has received his SEN
tence OF death second time for the
murder OF Harold Sweet of White
Earth, MINI. On the first sentence
Judge Pollock at Fargo placed the
date Of execution in little over three
months, but the legislators had
changed the law to make six months
elapse, which necessitated resentenc-
ing. and the return of Rooney from Bis
marck to Fargo. The attorneys for
the defense wanted the sentence set
aside on the ground Of ex post facto
legislation. The court overruled the
motion and the case will probably be
appealed to the supreme court.
