The Great Northern railway is doing
a stroke of business for North Dakota
that will bear fruit for all the years
to come. Already the benefits are seen
in a marked degree and the rush for
lands and good locations in the new
towns has had no precedent in late
years.
North Dakota extensions of the Great
Northern now under way are the extern
sion Of the Lakota branch from Edmore
to Sarles, wholly within Ramsey and Cav
alier counties and having three new sta
tions, Clyde, Calvin and Sarles; an extern
sion about forty-six miles northwest OF
Towner. thru the famous Deep River
Country. where tour good thriving
towns will be built this season-Bantry,
Upham. Deep and Newhurg; the Thorne
extension from York, having the new
towns of MoCumber, Thorne, Selden
and Wolford.
Dakota Development Company.
The Dakota Development company of
Willmar, Mimi, Of which D. n. Tallman
is president and secretary. owns the
townsites at Antler. Bantry, Ely, Deep,
Newburg, Maxbass, Forfar, Truro, Ly-
man, Wolford, Selden, McCumber. Cal
yin, Thorne, Clyde, Sarles,o Weaver,
Derrick and Armstrong: Of these,
been opened about two weeks and are
already busting centers Of building
operations. Selden, Wolford, Bantry,
I'pham, Deep, Sarles. Calvin and Clyde
will be opened by Sunday next. The
rails are partly laid to the townsites
and regular train service will be had
in about a month at all these points.
At no time in the history of the
northwest have better opportunities
been offered the merchant, farmer,
stockman, workingman or investor.
Here are chances for the merchant, the
banker and the laboring man to "get
in on the ground floor in the richest
grain and stock country in the north
west.
All the towns will make trading cen.
ters for the country surrounding, and
the opportunity to start a business
which will lead on to affuence and
wealth will not again be repeated I'M
der conditions so attractive. All the
towns will be accessible to the main
line of the road, and there will be nc
isolation and no hardships of the Or
binary pioneer life to undergo. Stores
of all kinds, restaurants, hotels, shops
newspapers, etc, will flourish in these
centers, and business men who buy lots
and establish themselves early viii
gather the cream Of the first business
activity.
Crop Failures Not Known.
The fact that this section of Nortl
Dakota has never had crop failure
and that the outlook for banner croI
this season is better than ever before
in the country's history, has given ar
added impetus to the sale Of town lots
and recalls the early days Of the west
when everybody was looking for the
main chance and laying the foundation
for the prosperity which has since beer
realized.
Other towns owned by the Dakota
Development company will be offered
in about two weeks. The country is tn
finest in the west and the business mai

Washington-In an opinion by Jus
tee Ho mes, the supreme court OF the
United States upheld the validity OF
the Minnesota state law holding rail-
road companies responsible for iniur-
les done to employees through the
earelessness of other employees
the case was that of the Minnesota
Iron company VS. Mark NJ Kline
Kline was the engineer of train on
road in St Louis county, owned by
the iron company and was injured
through the failure of a brakeman
to set switch The jury in the trial
court brought in a verdict for S., 600
The court, however, took the case
into its own hands, and ordered that
the state law awarding damages to the
servants of corporations bee tuse OF
carelessness on the part of their fell
low-servants was unconstitutional
The state supreme court reverses this
finding and ordered that the verdict of
the jury be carried into effect That
