the Pacific coast. Its population is COM
posed chiefly of Americans. Edmonton is
the terminus of a branch of the Canadian
Pacific railway and will be the most impor-
tant northern point on the new Grand
Trunk Pacific and the Canadian Northern.
No town in Canada has more promising
future. 1t will be second Winnipeg as
railway center. as a distributing point for
trade and as market for the agricultural
products of the new farming districts in
the Canadian northwest which are now be-
ing rapidly settled. 1t already has
population of about 10000 and a constitu-
ency of 10000 people in the contiguous
country. During the next five years it will
be a center of great activity, because the
construction work on the new Grand Trunk
line to the Pacific and the Canadian North
ern line will be directed from there.
Edmonton is becoming an important fish
market also. Northwestern Canada, as you
will see by the map, aboundS in lakes, some
of them of considerable size, and they are
swarming with fish. Last winter large
number of men were catching white fish
out of these lakes. hauling them in seighs
two and three hundred miles to Edmonton
and shipping them from there two thou
sand miles to Chicago in refrigerator cars.
Coal has been discovered also, and there
has been good deal of prospecting for oil
around Edmonton, with great deal Of en-
enlargement. Thus you will see that the
prospects of the two cities for future i'm
portance are about equal.
There Is personal element in the contest
also. Mr.. Haultain, who has been premier
of the northwestern provinces for thirteen
years and has made very efficient and
popular official, was turned down. by the
dominion government in the organization of
the provinces because he is a conservative
and two llberals-Mr. Bullyea and Mr. For
get-were appointed lieutenant governors
Mr.. Haultain and his friends were natural
ly indignant and are trying to make as
much trouble as possible for the liberal

NORTH DAK0TKS new RAILROADS
Year 1905 Record Breaker in State in the Railroad
Building Activity-Tweve Different Lines
Under Construction in State.

The year 1905 will pass into history
as one of the greatest activity North
Dakota has ever known in the way of
railroad and town building. Before
the year comes to close the state will
have increased it's railway mileage to
the extent of considerably over 500
miles and about forty new towns will
have to be added to the map of the
state as one of the results thereof.
The railroad building this year is not
confined to any one section of the
state nor to the new sections alone.
Twelve different lines of railroad are
under construction at the present time
within the state, and in various stages
of completion, by four different rail-
way companies. The 500 line comes
first in the amount of mileage under
construction, with three extensions,
aggregating about 800 miles within the
state.
The Great Northern, with its six new
branches, has mileage of 144 miles
| added to it's system. The Northern
Pacific has two extensions which will
probably add about seventy miles to
it's lines in the state before the work
stops this fall, and the Farmers rail,
road is adding 46 miles to it's length
The Soo's extensions in detail are
the Soo's main line from Thief River
Falls, in Minnesota, to kenmare. and
extension from Egeland northward for
twenty miles. and the 500 extension
from Underwood to Garrison.
The Great Northern has an exten.
sion from Munich northwest to the
new town of Sarles; one from York to
| the new town of Thorne: one from
| WesthOpe to the new town of Antler;
one from Towner to the new town OF
MaXbass; one from Mohall to Sher
wood, and one from Glendale to the
new town of Forbes.
The Northern Pacific is extending
it's Esmond line west toward the Mis-
souri, river and will probably complete
| about thirty miles this fall
The Farmers railroad is building
from Starkweather north to Rocl,
Lake, and may go beyond that point.
|
surveyed, but the work of actual con
struction will probably be confined tc
those named above.
The extension of these lines has re-
suited in the establishment of nearly
half hundred new towns in the state
some of which are already aspiring tc
be large trade centers. Besides the
required railroad depots and other
railroad buildings, the new towns
must have at the outset their banks
hotels, stores. elevators and other ne
cessities of even a small town. The
incident building activity has been
very large. Several of the new towns
have four or five elevators already, be
fore the tracks are laid to the towns
But the work of track laying is now
under way on most of the lines and on
some of the extensions is nearing
