GRAND BALL AT KINGSVILLE
initial Entertainment Given by Santa
Oertrudes Club a huge Success.


The first grand ball given by
the Santa Gertrudes Club at Kings
vile on MAY ?, proved a most de
lightful affair in every way
A special train from Corpus
Christi left that city at s p. II. and
arrived at KingsvilIe at 8 p. m,
amid a display of fireworks and
music by the band A reception
committee met the visitors and es-
corted them from Kings Inn, a
newly built hosiery of which
Kingsville may Justly be proud.
The hotel was splendidly decorated
inside and out with garlands of
bunting, mesquite branches, and
draperies of American, BritishIa and
Cuban flags.
The ball opened at p. III. with

The music and supper were most
excellent, and about 80 a. III. the
the ball closed. The special train
returned to Corpus Christi at 2
a. m.
1t would be hard indeed to des-

only brush grown wilderness.

G. L. King, a leading merchant

says that material and supplies are
now being unloaded in Denhof for
the new N. P. extension, and the
surveyors have been out several
days. Two cars Of teams and thirty
graders are there and q big outfit

from that point the survey will
probably go north Of Turtle Lake

The neatest thing in the line of
advertising is the souvenir postal
cards issued by the 500. On the
cards is printed half tone engrav-
ings in color work representing
views in Minnesota, the first house
in Minneapolis, also a view at the
present time Of the city. But what
takes the eye is the picture of the
trout and black bass. The cards
are certainly attractive and hand
some. There is plenty Of room left
on the card for writing.

THE LATEST RAILWAY MELANdR:1

The LATEST RAILWAY MELANdE:1
- ~
The Northern Pacific Railroad
has let the contract for q fifteen
mile extension from Denhof to the
towns of Lamont and McC lusky in
Mclean county, and with the con-
tract they have an option for a fur
Their extension of ten miles, to be
made provided the surveyors can
get a suitable line in a northwest
erly direction from the terminus of
the first fifteen mile extension.
Contractor Grant, of Faribault,
Mimi, has the contract for the
work and has a large force of men
on the ground, and an additional
force is expected. j. I. Horrock is
the chief engineer Of the work.
This railroad building, with the
consequent plating Of new towns
and the erection Of new buildings,
will make things lively in the east
end of the county for the coming
season, and the towns of Lamont
and McClusky will boom and make
splendid towns with a large bust
ness.
The 500 extension from Under
wood is also progressing rapidly.
Doran Bros. have the contract for
ten miles of the work and have
large force Of men and teams that
is busily engaged in pushing the
work. Mr. Doran has been in town
buying up horses and the work is
progressing rapidly all along the
line. Hasey& Howe have the con-
tract for the second ten miles. The
twenty mile extension will be COM
pleted early in the summer and
will make that part Of the country
lively. Two good towns will be
built on the extension, conveniently
located for farmers and people in
the vicinity.
As we have stated for some time
past, the projected extension of
these lines will become realities
this summer. The building gilmore
railroads does not mean that there
Will be any decrease Of business in
the towns already established, but
mean that with the steady influx
Of new settlers there will be more
business in all parts of the county
and more business establishments
will be necessary for these towns
to care for it. Mclean county,
already without question the best
county in the western part of the
state, will see more substantial
growth the coming year than for
many years past. Those who have
farm lands and homesteads in this
county are to be congratulated and
those who have not and are looking
for good homes, prosperity and in
dependence, should not, delay but
should take advantage Of the oppor-
tunity of locating in this county.
A few more years will see all the
vacant lands settled and the oppor-
tunity will then be gone.

WOULD N BISMARCK
The Minot Optic and the Commercial
Club Always out After the Best.
Would Now Annex Bismarck-Bis.
marck ID, Willing.

Minot Optic: At a regular meet
ing of the directors of the CONNER
cial club held last evening, a most
important measure was considered
and discussed, namely: That of
railroad communications between
Minot and the capital of the state.
In the course of the boards pro-
ceedings the following resolution
was adopted:
Resolved, that the Commercial
Club of Minot should at once in
quire into the feasibility and the
ways and means of securing the
construction of a line of railroad
between Minot and the city of Bis
marck; that it should use it's best
efforts to secure the extension of
present line of the 500 railway
from Washburn to Minot, and if
that cannot be done, to advocate
the organization Of a railroad cor
poration with the design of con-
structing an independent line be-
tween said city of Minot and said
city Of Bismarck; that the chair
man Of this club appoint a CON-
mittee Of five persons to confer
with the 500 and the Great North
ern railway Co., relative to the con-
struction of such Il line, and if the
cooperation of neither of those
companies can be secured, to re-
port to this board a plan for the
organization of a corporation for
the construction Of an independent
line between the two cities.
Said resolution was unanimously
adopted and the chairman there
upon appointed the following per-
sons as such committee: John b.
Green. j. ID. McKone. L. M. Davis,
L. w. Gammens and R. G. San
born.
There has been for some time
informal efforts on the part Of the
officers Of the club to get an ex-
preston from the 500 line as to it's
ultimate purpose regarding the ex-
tension Of the Waskburn branch
to- this city. It is apparent from
what has already been learnedthat
it is not the intention of the 500
to extend that line further than
Coal Harbor during the present
year. What course it will take
from that point later on is unde-
cided. The club believes that if
the line is to be built in this di-
rection another year it is not too
early to begin a vigorous campaign
with that end in view, and that all
possible steps should be taken to
secure the extension of the Wash
burn line to this city.
A number of prominent citizens
of Minot r seriously considering
the project Of forming a railroad
corporation with the purpose of
constructing a line that shall con-
meet Minot and the capital of the
state and the growing country west
and southwest of Bismarck. It is
promised that this matter shall not
be allowed to rest until the con-
~struotion of such a line has been
accomplished, and certainly nc
worthier scheme for advancing the
interests of. this city can command
the attention of it's citizens.
