COAST TO COAST TRAIN.

Project Includes Running Of New
Style Compartment Cars.
New York, Aug. "a company IS
being formed with paid-up capital Of
100000 to operate an entire train
between New York and San Francisco
Without change.
The company is negotiating for the
right to operate private compartment
for one-person sleeping cars" This
private compartment consists Of sofa
by day, convertible into a bed by
night, a combined table and wash
stand, and combined chair and toilet.
eighteen of these compartments and
a smoking room are provided for each
car. The equipment of the train will
consist Of sleeping cars of this design,
a stateroom car and baggage, buffet,
library, smoking, dining and observa-
ton cars.
The privatet compartment scheme
is the invention of Chester D. Pugsley
of Peekskill, N. Y. The name of the
new operating concern is the Pugsley
Palace Car company.

slack, the latter being a very i'm
portant point in the computation of

There Is another subject and it Is in
connection with the irrigation work
which is going on. For, the works
about Williston, plans are ready for a
pumping plant and the engineers are
considering whether to use steam or
a gas producer, the latter would cut
down the cost enormously. If the gas
producer plan should be adopted and
found successful at Williston, Mr..
Campbell could not see why it should
not be used exclusively all through the
Mississippi valley as the irrigation en-
gineers have demonstrated that pump
ing is cheaper than canals and more
effective.
Mr.. Campbell urged that North Da-
kotans take up the question and study
the test reports in the detailed and H.
lustrated reports which are now near.
ly ready for the press and they will
find that the native Ignite possesses
a value of much greater enormity than
was ever thought of. 1t means ma
chinery power at half the cost that it
is now.

A Popular House.

The place to buy groceries is where
everybody else buys, and there are
two good reasons for this. In the
first place house enjoying a large
trade must buy goods in larger quanti-
ties, and consequently buys them
cheaper, and the same thing applies in
the selling. A large volume Of trade
is handled relatively cheaper than a
lesser volume. And then their goods
are always fresh and clean. Those
who have patronized H. L. Reade &
Co., have found that house a good
place to trade, and both reasons men
toned above apply to them. They are
headquarters for everything in the
meat, fish and poultry line, and are
just now getting daily supplies of the
finest spring chicken. Their stock of
fresh fruits is always well assorted,
and includes every thing that is sea.
sonable. While they do not mean to
be outdone in the variety and quality
OF the line carried, their dong suit
is their prompt service in the care OF
their trade and the delivery of the
goods. ...t. -.l

NORWEGIAN PETITION.

The Following Is the Petition Ad-
dressed to President Roosevelt by
Four Thousand Five Hundred Nor
wegians North Dakotans.
To Theodore Roosevelt, president Of
the United States:
We, the citizens of the United
States, of Norwegian birth and blood,
heartily endorse the action of the
Norwegian storthing set forth in its
unanimously adopted resolution of
June 7, 1905, as follows:
whereas, His majesty, the king
has declared himself unable to form a
new government for the country, and
whereas, The constitutional power
thus become imperative. The
storthing authorizes the members Of
the council Of state who retired today
to exercise until further notice as the
Norwegian government the power ap-
pertaining to the king in accordance
with Norway's constitution and exist
ing laws, with those changes which
are necessitated by the act that the
union with Sweden under one king is
dissolved in consequence of the king
having ceased to act as king Of
Norway
Do earnestly hope and do respect
fully petition that you will at the
earliest opportunity signify your recog-
milton Of the new government of Nor
way so created by the sovereign will
of the Norwegian people as expressed
by the unanimous action of their
representatives in storthing assem-
bled.

L. A. Staatenhus has sold his entire

Is owing to the fact that there is a

A prairie fire started about noon

nursery company, passed among our
farmers taking orders. Now comes a
kick from many OF those who patron
lied him that he increased the order
in each instance, for instance one
party gave a five dollar order which
turns out to be fifty dollars; another
a two dollar order which has since
grown to twenty. These parties
claim they are countermanding the
orders. There is but one thing to say
in this case and that is patronize
home industries and avoid the I'M
known quantity. In this instance, we
find that the same stock could have
been purchased Of o. H. Will & co. of
Bismarck for the same money and the
purchaser would have some recourse.
Local pride in our own institutions, in
dustries, etc., should prompt every
man to keep his orders at home.

The state board of equalization be-
gan upon its work actively yesterday
afternoon when Attorney General
Erich arrived and completed the full,
membership Of the board. A general
consideration was lad of the abstracts
OF assessments and the relative value
OF real and personal property in the
different counties. Several repre-.
sentatives of the railroads, including
Messrs. Dudly, Foster, Fernald aud
Wilkinson, were heard yesterday aftuc.
noon and this morning with regard to
the assessment of the railroads, stat.
ing as their position that the railroads
were assessed proportionately as high
as other property in the state. Repre-.
sentatives Of land, telephone and other
companies were also heard at the
meeting yesterday afternoon, and this
morning. 1t Is generally admitted
that because OF the appropriations
made by the last legislature, includ.
Ing those Of new buildings and per.
manent improvements, 1t will b
necessary to make an increase in the
total valuation of property, and the ex.
tent of that increase will be determ.
med by the total funds required to
pay the curren. expenses of the state
and the extraordinary expenses Az.
thorized by the last legislature. It is
desired, Of course, by the administra.
ton to pay all Of these appropriations
and leave balance on hand at the
close Of the biennial period, and it is
likely that the valuations and tax
leyies win be fixed with that in view.
The increase will be by no means
burdensome, distributed as 1t Is, over
forty counties and apportioned to the
total valuation OF property, which viii
be normally about 165 millions.
