THE 500 is COMING.


Will Run Cars into st. Vincent
Within Eighteen Months.
Must Cross Marshall
Co. Somewhere.
The ST. Paul Pioneer Press pub
fishes the following interesting bit
Of news in regard to new railroad
construction in the northern part of
the state:
The Great Northern will extend
it's Pelican Rapids branch through
the White Earth reservation, paral-
leling the 500 line survey of its pro-
jected Glenwood-St. Vincent for a
considerable distance, to a connec-
tion at Fosston with it's cross-coun-
try line from Duluth to thiseity.
The route of the Great Northern
extension, as given on semi official
authority is from Pelican Rapids via
Bucks Mills, Oak Lake, Redwood,
White Earth, Beaulieu and Hans
vile to Fosston. The territory COW
cred lies between the Great North
ern main line west, and its Park
Rapids branch, and has no railway
facilities at present except the cross
line Of the Northern Pacific in the
extreme southern portion. It is
considered probable that the White
Earth reservation will be opened
within a few years, affording. with
the extensive agricultural districts
north and south of it, an extensive
field for railway enterprise.
RATE INTO WINNIPEG.
The 500 line has already made sur
veys through the White Earth res
ervation, paralleling the line pro-
posed by the Great Northern. It's
objective point is St. Vincent, where
it can obtain a connection with the
Canadian Pacific and direct route
into Winnipeg. The course Of the
survey is from Glenwood via Union
Lake, Alexandria and Miltona in
Douglas county, Parkers Prairie,
Henning, Ottertail and Gresham
in Ottertail county, to Detroit in
Becker county thence almost due.
north to a crossing Of the Great
Northern's Fosston extension in
Polk county, north through Grow
Wing, and north and northwest to
St. Vincent on the international bor-
der.
St. Paul-Winnipeg business is now
controlled by the Great Northern
ands the Northern Pacific, which
have the only line to the boundary
with direct Canadian lines to Winni-,
peg. The Canadian Pacific has long
watched the growth Of traffic on
these lines, and for four years has.
been working at a plan for reason
ably direct route into St. Paul.
This is, to be afforded by the new
500 line construction.
WILL BUILD AT ONCE.
A statement secured from reliable
sources yesterday is as follows:
The 500 will have it's line into
St, Vincent in operation within
