4. P. Surveying At Valley City.

A party of surveyors, supposed to be
in the employ Of the Northern Pacific
have been at work in the country ad'
jacent to Valley City, says the Times
Record, which has caused revival OF
the rumor that the road was going to
build a cutoff for through business
which would eliminate the heavy
arades now caused by entering and
leaving the valley. The surveyors
have run a number OF lines, one OF
which crosses the valley just north OF
the city limits.
IA year ago when the surveyors were
running similar lines it is understood
that one of them. STATED that IT would
be possible tc cross the valley just
north Of the city BY putting IN. q
trestle 100 feet high and about half g 2
mile in length. At that time it was
stated the improvement was too ex-
pensiye for the officers Of the road TO
consider and nothing further was q one. q
Since then there have @oeens half a
dozen collisions, as well asa number
$of accidents III the yards, and = y rs Is
proba ble that the matter has been l5l!' re- Z

More Elevators.

Stutsman county is surely on the
boom-another elevator is to :be built
at Cleveland Immediately by the Pow
ers Elevator Co., and they will also
double the capacity Of their house at
Windsor very shortly. There new
Cleveland house will be one of the
largest west of Jamestown, having 4O,-
600 to $4,000 bushels capacity. The
Powers people are enterprising and
their making this investment at
Cleveland will do much towards help
ing the town along. They will no
doubt handle lumber and fuel in con-
nection with their grain business and
Cleveland s future will then be assur-
ed. Their going In business will nec-
essitate the lengthening. of the lside

Hew Enterprise for City.

w. M. Moore of Darlington has as
sociated himself with A. r. Murray,
at present with the Stacey Fruit Co.,
of Fargo, for the manufacture Of ce-
ment blocks in this city. A building
will be secured, and at present it is
the intention to make the blocks this
winter and have supply on hand
ready for spring. The new block is a
hollow block, the walls OF cement
bound together with steel wire, leav-
ing no points Of contact where cement
partitions or walls allow moisture to
pass from the outside of the block to
the inside. The invention is an Iowa
patent and the manufacturers claim
all manner of advantages for the new
process. Chimneys and ornamental
block york OF all kinds are to be made.
The est Of the blocks laid in walls is
said l.. Je about the same as lumber
and h;.1 the cost of brick. A number
of bu q ngs at Darlington are under
contr; ;, to be built next spring OF the
block

A BUNCH OF 8 FOR PEN
Fred Kohlmayer Gets a Term eof
twenty-five Years. indians and
floIdup Artists Get Smaller Terms.

Sheriff Douglass of ROlette county,
came IN from the north Saturday
night with eight prisoners who had
been convicted of various crimes at
the recent term of court. The men
were sentenced to terms of imprison-
ment ranging all the way from two
to twenty-five years.
The last named sentence was in the
case of Fred Kohlmayer, who was con-
victed of murder in the second degree,
and it is said narrowly escaped being
convicted for the death penalty. The
man is said to have gotten into fight
with number of others at a farm
house and in a three handed scuffie
shot a man named Clark in the neck,
at the same time wounding himself in
the head and leg. The opinion is
said to be divided as to the justice Of
the sentence some claiming that the
right Of self defense was plain. The
other prisoners were:
S. Mcmahon, who got four aud a
half years for receiving and selling
stolen horses.
Chas. Thompson and w. H. Birch,
each sentced to five years for highway
robbery.
John O'Niel, five years for burglary.
Three Turtle Mountain half breeds,
who got two years for resisting the
sheriff and deputies when serving a
warrant of arrest on another breed.
The Indians knocked the deputy down
and punched the sheriff, and placed
the man being arrested on horse and
started him to the clear.
-Four deputies accompanied the
sheriff with the prisoners to Bismarck
where they arrived safely Sunday a.
m. Among the deputies was Will
DePuy OF kOlla. The new arrivals
make 2220 prisoners in the stale pen.
which greatly over taxes the present

Address on Socialism.

A small audience greeted the speak
er at the Court house Saturday night.
Mr.. Bigelow, the speaker, discussed
socialism and his remarks were inter-
esting to those who heard him. He
outlined what socialism means and
pointed out that it had nothing to do
with anarchy. The speaker did not
believe, however, that it would be a
success for any one of the leading
nations or countries to put into prac-
tie the principles Of socialism in
government, without all other nations
did the same thing. This great re-
form movement he :ontended was
taking place in Europe, and he believ-
ed that all the civilized nations were
going to adopt the socialist plan Of
government. .&;.g2 Ss:.s..5

Heavy Fall Of Snew.

A heavy snow fall has covered the
prairies Of this part of the state. All
the Northern Pacific branch and main
lines have been visited with the SHOW
| fall and wind has drifted it in high
drifts in many places. All trains are
behind time as a result both from the
east and west. On the ObcrOn branch
the wires are down and it is reported
that one train is laid up at one point
on the line, the same branch where
there was a snow blockade last May.
The storm has continued with
steady fall of snow since Monday
morning. The same storm is report
ed along the 500 and Great Northern
lines.
Train No 3, due at a. NJ, was
stuck in the beautiful snow near
Wheatland, and remained there near
ly all day. Travellers who expected
to take the morning trains on the
main line and branches were content
to remain at the hotels and spend the
time as pleasant as they could, con-
graduating themselves that they
were not snow bound on the prairie.
The storm is Of wide extent, the snow
being heavy as far west as G]cndive
and east into Minnesota. The trains
on all branch lines were abandoned
until the storm clears away. The
drifts in the city are fence high in
places and growing in extent and
numbers. About , p. m. a double
header freight from the east managed
TO get into the yard a few hacks
were the only vehicles seen on the
streets during the day and strug-

MORE PRAIRIE f|RtL0SSES
Reports of the Late Disastrous Prai-
rle Fires In Dlckey, kidder and
Other Counties. %

The Glendale Record gives an ac-
count of the disastrous prairie fire
that swept across the tststern and
central parts Of Dickey county, caus-
ing losses amounting to 100000. The
fact that good deal of fall plowing
around the houses had been done by
farmers alone saved much property.
The loss of the range and hay for win
ter feed is severely felt and the cattle
are being sold cheap in the burned
district, as it will be impossible to
winter them in many localities.
One Of the fires is said to have been
started by a 500 train. The high
wind prevented all ordinary pre-
cautions from stopping the blazing
grass. Fire was carried by tumble
weeds starting up new fires after much
effort and hard work had been put IN
stopping a larger fire.
Fire losses in western LaMoure, in
northern Kidder and southern parts
of Wells county were also heavy,
farmers losing barns and stock and
other property. Two farmers near
Sykeston lost both houses barns and
money, and one man was badly burned
in trying to get his horses from the
barn. The fire in this case was start
ed by careless farmer starting up an
old straw stack that had smoldered
for some days. The fire got into the
stubble around the stack, and then on
to the prairie and there was no stop-
ping it. Suits for damages3are talkseed
of in this case. %E 4; ESss
Several schools where .children were
in attendance had narrow escapes
from great injury and loss of life.
Only the rapid flight OF the children
before the fires reached the houses
saved many little ones, and several
school houses IN the burned over dis
trict were lost.
