responding increase in the values Of
the holdings of the farmer, the ranch
man and the merchant.
It may also be added that it is the
intention of the new management to
Immediately improve the river and
ferry service. Heretofore there has
been more or less trouble with the
ferry at this point and frequent inter
ruption In its service has diverted in
a measure the trade naturally tribu-
tary from across the Missouri river.
A new and modern steam or gasoline
ferry service will be inaugurated at
once, which will result In securing and
permanently retaining the trade of a
vast region across the river.
Thus the passing Of the Washburn
road and the coming of the 500 marks
a great epoch In the history of the
Missouri slope and of Washburn the
capitaI of Mclean county.

John L. Sullivan, the ex-pugilist,
who spent a half million dollars in
dissipation, has turned his atten-
tion to writing temperance lectures
and giving advice to young men,
and experience has equipped him
we'll for the task. From one of his
latest contributions thispointed and
truthful extract is taken:-" What
I have to say to you today, young
man, is this: Remember that every
successful man began his work So
ber. And remember that If you
follow back over the track of a fail
ure, you will find plenty Of whiskey
bottles, and they will be thick at

incarceration recently Mr.. G. P.
Eckles, Traffic Manager of the
Washburn Ry., he made the state
ment that the road had not yet
bought the gasoline ferry to be op.
Grated between Washburn and the
east side of the river, but such a
move is now assured. This has
been in contemplation several years
but that was all there was y vm to it.
The road likes to have us ship over
their line, and the merchants of
Washburn would like to have the
trade from the west side, but if they
think west siders are going to drive
8. 1Oor IL miles to the crossing and
set there all day and then drive
home again unable to get across
the river in that old tub, they are
surely mistaken. We will admit
that Washburn is our natural trad
ing and shipping point, but they
will have to better their facilities
for crossing the water if they want
our trade. Our county granted Mr..
Eckles a lease for a ferry landing
for several years at a sum not worth
mentioning, and now we want to
see something besides a tub landing
at all, and landing daily, whether
the wind blows from the south OF
north, as long as there is no ice to
interfere.-Center Republican.
The 500 railway is making ar
rangements to put in a gasolene
ferry boat that will be able to cross
the river at any time. The new
boat will be in operation within a
short time and will afford rapid
and sure means of crossing the
river. This will be good news to
the settlers of our neighboring
county. The 500 wants trade and
and will provide safe and sure way
for that trade to reach the shipping
points along the 500 line.

I, And what u the future Of the city
Of WashbuTh?
| 1 Great as was the day when the
Washburn road unlocked the treasures
Of the ..Great Bend" country by build
ing to the metropolis Of Mclean coun
.ty, Of stilI more far-reaching and sub
istantial 2beneat win be the coming 81
the Soo. Its permanence and its com
mercial activity sare assured. General
Washburn, who retains his interest in
the townsite, and whose plans fol
water works, electric light system and
other public improvements will be
carried out, this year will continue
an advisory factor and friend Of the
city. The contemplated, improvements
Of the 500 comprise the building OF
shops and division terminals, vastly
more extensive than could have been
anticipated by the young, independent
line as 1t heretofore existed. The
people Of Washburn have only to
unite in doing their full duty, in a
continuance Of that enterprise and CO.
operation that has characterized the
growth Of the city thus far and a
realization Of their most extravagant
hopes is at hand. This year marks
the turning point for Washburn. Like
Grand Forks of the lower Red river
valley, SO will Washburn maintain its
prestage as the leading city of the
Missouri slope above Bismarck with
an empire of fertile land tributary to
it and a prosperous people behind it.
Just how far the 500 will extend
this year from its present terminus at
Underwood has not yet been fully de.
termined but at least quite number
of miles have been agreed upon. This
will open up another stretch of fertile
land capable Of the highest develop
ment in diversified farming. Next
year the extensions may be. extended
to reach to the northwest, opening up
that great region lying between it's
present Portal line and the Missouri
river, connecting with the parent COM
pany, the Canadian Pacific, and MAX
ing another transcontinental line.
The building Of the washburn road
was the match that started the agri-
cultural development of this country.
Since the inauguration of this enter
prise five years ago thousands of acres
otlana have been added to the tax rolls,
yes thousands OF new set
tiers have established homes; quarter
sections that were worth no more than
$500 to 500 have increased in value to
s1,5oo to $4,000, and important ewns
have been built where all wsS virgin

continuation Of the 500 and the Mis-
souri, river extension Of the Northern
Pacific means the adding Of thousands
