FARGO IS INTERESTED
Rumor that Great Northern Is to
Change Passenger Routes.

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 15.-Fargo business
men are aroused over the report that
the Great Northern is to cut off the
months ago the Great Northern split
up the coast train service and ran one
set via Wahpeton and Larimore and the
other by Grand Forks and Fargo. Now
it is reported the company is planning
to run both via Wahpeton and leave
Fargo and Grand Forks with nothing
but local service from Winnipeg.
Local business men have never been
great patrons of the passenger service
of the Great Northern, and this is said
to be one reason for the proposed
change.
