DEMANDS ON RAILWAYS.

DEMANDS ON RAILWAYS.
For some years we have witness
ed an annual congestion of traffic
on large proportion of the railway
lines. Though the companies pur
chased new equipment far in excess
of any prev ious period of their his
tory, they have not been able to
keep ahead of the increasing de-
mands made upon them. In two
years they expended $500, 900, 900
for equipment, but the conditions
remain such that they find it nee
essary to keep on expanding, and
orders have been placed for the
current year which total more than
5000, 600, 600. A compilation of
the orders given foots up TO $201.
600, 900, and it is believed the final
total will exceed that figure BY
some millions.
When the great wave of business
expansion appeared after the first
election OF Mex inley, it did not oc-
cur to the transportation companies
that they would be unable to handle
their business with the normal in
crease III their facilities. Later,
when they found themselves press
ed, they made provisions for little
more equipment than they had an
ticlpated. This did not bring re-
lief. and the orders were again IN
creased to some extent, but it was
found they did not have any appre-
ciable effect upon the situation.
Business began to pile up every
where, and during the season OF
the heaviest movement OF freight
there was widespread congestion.
Finally the companies, after hav-
ing lost enormously because OF
their inability to handle the freight
and in this manner inflicted loss
upon their patrons determined TO
take broader hold upon the prob
lem and gave enormous orders for
cars and engines. It was believed
the roads would be stocked suffi-
cientlv by these orders for many
years to come, but conpanies
thought it better policy to be over
stocked than to be caught at any
time short OF the necessary car.

purchases have not given the road.

In almost every issue of weekly
papers are accounts of parties prov
ing up on their claims, followed by
a sale of their personal effects and
removal to other states. Such &C.
ton has come under the observa-
ton of the special agents of the
land department, followed by rec
ommendation for the cancellation
of such proofs, it being plain that
the parties have acted in bad faith
and have secured the land for spec
ulative purposes only. A close
watch is being kept on all final
proofs, especially committed proofs
as the government is determined, if
possible, to preserve the public do
main for actual settlers. 1t is to the
interest Of every bona fde home
steader to assist the government
in this behalf, as the actual settle
ment of his neighborhood not only
appreciates the value of his own
land, but hastens the development
of the state.-Bismarck Tribune.

Bismarck has organized a Com.

Bismarck has organized a Com
mercial Club, and will soon be ready
to get out and hustle. There is
plenty of work that an organization
of this kind can do. Washburn at
one time had an organization of
this kind, but it waslallowed to fall
by the wayside. If we could just
keep up the energy displayed at
the time of the birth oflan organi-
zation of this kind, much good
would result therefrom, but after a
few interesting meetings, thing are
allowed todrag. Some of the men,
bers begin to drop out, interest is
lost and the whole thing is allowed
to go by default. This is the his
tory Of the organizations. We hope
that Bismarck will not meet these
conditions, but that the work will
be kept up. It maybe that it will
mean a sacrifice on the part of
some one, but no success is gained
in this world without some loss.

NORTH DAKOTA PROSPEROUS

r. G.. Dunn & Co., have just
finished compiling some interest
ing statistics on the growth of
business in North Dakota. The
result is strongly in favor of the
business interests of the state, and
indicates a most heathful CONNER.
cial condition. In the last six
months the increase has been spe-
seially marked, and is not as ephe-
moral boom condition.
In the past few years the state
has been growing rapidly, but for
a time it's growth was of a nature
hardly lasting. Now affairs have
settled to a solid basis and the
commerce and industry of the state
have grown and increased remark
ably. Settlers who came into the
state with little capital have be.
come we'll established. For a time
the entire business Of the state
was in their hands, as they were
in the majority poor, little pro-
gress was made. Now it is changed.
In the last six months, fifty
eight new towns have been added,
thirty-two of them on new railroad
branches. In the same time 454
new business enterprises have been
started. Five banks have discon-
tinued business, two have reorga-
nized as national banks, and lob
new banks have, been started. The
railroads have done much to bring
about this growth and increase in
business. At present. money is
somewhat close in the state on &C.
count of the shortage of cars. The
farmers ARE holding their wheat
until the elevators or railroads can
handle it, and are consequently a
li4tle short of ready money. The
banks are getting good rates and
are making loans because they
know the wheat to back them is in
in the state.-X. (.

Now that the hunting season is
over, the protection of the game
during the closed season is a most
necessary one in order that the laws
are enforced. The enforcement of
the game laws should not be left
entirely to the game wardens, but
should be the duty of every citizen
to look after the matter. It is only
a question of a few short years un-
til, under the present conditions,
the deer will have gone the way of
the buffalo.

Governor Sarles has granted the
requisitior asked for by the gov
ernor of Montana for the return Of
W. H. Denny, of Williston, wanted
by the Montana authorities on the
charge of horse-stealing. The Gov
ernor has also stated that he will
cooperate with the authorities of
Montana for the breaking up of the
gang of horse rustlers that has been
doing business in the northern and
western part of the state for many
years. Mclean county has not been
free from suffering at the hands of
the marauders. Many horses have
been stolen and made away with,
and honest settlers have suffered
severe losses. For this reason, the
vigorous action Of the governor will
be heartily applauded all through
the western part of the state where
the interests are largely in livestock
But there is other assistance that
must be rendered in the stopping
of horse stealing, Notwithstanding

authorities must assist in getting
evidence, and then making vigor.

SMALL FORTUNE
IN FIVE CENTS
Reno Importing NickeIs With
Which to Run Slot
Games

Reno is not terminal point, not yet,
in spite of the agitation which the ques-
ton has received and is receiving. The
railroad still tacks on all the traffic will
bear and sometimes a little more, but
nevertheless, when Reno wants anything
she has got to have it, even if it must
be imported from Wabuska or Paris,
France. The latest luxury demanded by
the fair city on the banks of the Truckee
is nickles-just five cent pieces. They
are wanted to feed the slot machines, of
which there are great number since the
late lamented legislature again legalized
that mode of gambling. A keg contain
ing 1880 in nicke.s was recently received
hot from the factory, by a Reno bank.
1t is thought that the supply will fill the
requirements of business for a few
months at least and the school children
are conrresponding.y happy.

Further Details of Accident at

In the wreck of the work train at
Moleen Saturday, reported in Saturday
evenings Silver State, two of the crew
were hurt. John Mayer, the brakeman,
had his nose broken and F. E. Craner
had his shoulder dislocated and his arm
broken. They were taken to Ogden on
No Saturday night.
They had made a run from Elko safely,
running rs miles m hour until they came
to point near the culvert two miles
east of Moleen, where the road bed was
softened by the heavy rains of yesterday
so that the rails turned up, eight of them
being reversed by the weight of the en-
gine. The train left the track, smashing
the caboose and knocking the pilot off of
the engine.
