K. X. Extensions
Into Southwestern Portion of
North Dakota Opening a Very
Valuable Territory.

Special Correspondence.
Cakes, N. D., Oct. "a great deal
Of interest in local circles is being
shown in the reports and rumors (and
ments) that the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul railroad will next year extend
its line from Glendale west thru the
southwestern counties of North Dako-
ia, and on this way to the Pacific
coast. Twenty-Five years ago, when j.
J. Hill was contemplating the pushing
of the Great Northern railroad across
the continent to the Pacific coast, he
saw fit to choose for his territory the
figuring that that part would be the
best result-producer after settled. The
Northern Pacific, when it went to the
coast, cut the state almost in two equal
parts, crossing as near on the center
line of the state as possible. When
the 500 line crossed the state it en-
tered at the southeast corner and went
out almost at the northwest corner.
This action was necessary in order to
connect with the Canadian Pacific at
Portal, thus giving the two interests a

is feeling pretty good over the farming

better.
It has been the condition during the
past thirty years i'll the state OF North
Dakota that the eastern section OF the
state received the first immigrants and
it's business developed first. The stran-
State was told that if he went west
to the jim river valley he would strike
a desolate and arid country and that
the Jim river valley was good for moth
ing except stock-raising. a few years
demonstrated the fallacy Of that argu-
ment, but the Jim river valley coun-
try took up the same argument with
the Missouri river slope. Up until tour
years ago the people east OF the slope,
in fact, all over the country, were say
ing that if one went west: of The jim
river valley, he would find the country
good for nothing except grazing pur-
poses. The exceptional crops for the
past five years have demonstrated that
the Missouri river slope is as good fol
agricultural purposes as the country
farther east. The average precipitation

Cuban DiarrhOea

U. S. soldiers VINO served in Cuba

this disease is, and that ordinary rem
edies have little more effect than SO

remedy, however, that can always be
depended upon as will be seen by the
following certificate from Mrs. Minnie
Jacobs, of Houston. Texas: 81 hereby
certify that Chamberlain Collie, Chol

1t is much easier for woman to confide
In the average man than in the average
woman. She knows that the man will re-
spect her condolences and keep them to
himself. He is strong, has more experience
of the world and can help the woman who
needs advice. There is every reason why
women should not trust their delicate
constitutions in the hands of unskilled
persons 1t requires thorough medical
education to appreciate and understand
the womanly organism. When woman
has ills and pains that she cannot bear
when life seems dark for every woman,
she should confide her troubles to a
physician of standing in the community,
or one who has national reputation. Ger
tainly it would not be the part of wisdom
to conhde in ignorant person without
medical education simply because she was
zOonidn. There is every reason why she
should write to some great specialist one
who has made the diseases of women a
speciality for third of a century like DR..
K. V. Pierce, founder of the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N Y.
All his correspondence is held sacredly con-
hdential, and he gives his advice free and
without charge.
So uniformly successful has DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription proven in all forms
of Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling

the worst cases of these distressing and
debilitating ailments, DIR. Pierce now feels
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
cash for any case of these diseases which
he cannot cure.
