States New. Railroads..

The year 1905 will pass into history as
one of the greatest activity North Dakota
has ever known in the way Of railroad
and town building. Before the year
comes to a close the state will have
increased its railway mileage to the ex-
tent of considerably over five hundred
miles and about forty new towns will
have to be added to the map of the state
as one Of tbs results thereof. The rail-
road building this year Is not confined
to any one section of the state nor to the
new sections alone. Twelve different
lines of railroad are under construction
at the present time within the state, and
In various stages of completion by four
different railway companies. The 500
line comes first in the amount Of mileage
under construction with three extensions
aggregating about three hundred and
twenty miles within the state.
The Great Northern, with its six new
branches, has a mileage of 144 miles
added to its system. The Northern
Pacific has two extensions which will
probably add about seventy miles to its
lines in the state before the work stops
this fall.

The present term of the SUI
preme court at Grand Forks will
probably cover three weeks. The
work is becoming so heavy that
more justices are needed. It is
expected that the census taken
by the assessors this year, author
lied by the legislature, will show
a population of over 100000. In
that event the constitution will
allow an increase from three
to five members of the supreme
court. It is expected that the
next legislature will give the
governor authority to appoint two
additional judges to serve until
the next regular election.

are vast areas of land that will

riculture is so far ahead of all
other industries in our state that
we cannot be said to have diver

anywhere near the diversity you
have in this state. And yet with
only one-ffth of our area culti-
waited we will this year raise about
100000 bushels of wheat. Dur
ing 1904 North Dakota, Mime

A PUEBLO LEGEND.
The story Of the Great Flood and the
Monster Turtle.

The Story Of the Great Flood and the
Monster Turtle.
The children of the Pueblo Indians
have a Noah's ark Of their own, and
some of the animals it contains are
very curious indeed-such animals, in
fact, as civilized young people are not
acquainted with. Among them are
mountain goats, queer creatures Of the
cat tribe and prong horned antelopes.
All Of these animals are made out OF
clay and baked like pottery, after
which they are paintediin quite an
artistic and lifelike fashion
Like most other peoples, the Pueblo
Indians have a tradition Of a great
flood. The catastrophe occurred long
ago, when they lived in the ancient
land Of their forefathers. One day the
earth began to shake and strange.
rumblings grew louder and louder I'M
til at length an opening yawned in
the middle Of. the central square Of
the town. Out Of the opening gushed
2 mighty stream of water, overwhelm-
ing the houses and flooding the val
ley, so that the inhabitants fed with
their live stock to neighboring noun
tains.
Presently there o out Of the hole
in the earth the head Of a gigantic
turtle, which lowered to the very roof
Of the sky. Everybody was terror
stricken, but the chief man Of the
town, whose name ought to have been
Noah, plucked up the courage to ask
the great reptile what it wanted. The
turtle replied that it was hungry and
that Its appetite could be appeased
only by the sacrifice Of a young man
and q young woman. There was moth
ing to do but to obey, and SO a hand
some youth and a beautiful girl were
delivered W to the turtle, which took
them in its mouth and sank with them
through the hole. Immediately all Of
the water flowed away, and in the
place where the reptile had appeared
there o up a large black rock, which,
according to the myth; may be seen to
fthis day, t%estifying to- the truth Of the
story. $
Unfortunatelys the deluge left things
In such q damp and uncomfortable
condition, after destroying all OF the
houses and most OF the-portable prop
ertty, that the people thought. It wisest
to goaway. So they started q q
journey northward, the whole tribe Of

Do Women "Damn?"

III charged in court recently against rich woman
NJ York that she used the word damn in dscharg
an architect The woman's denial supported by
the evidence of her husband
The denial of this particular woman may be taken for
what it is worth
But is true nevertheless that in certain social spheres
supposed to place above that of the common
people profane speech is held feminine accomplish
ment Those who behind the screens-servants espec
ally-know this to be true.
Besides every little while some of these women forget
and lapse. AS for instance high up dame who cursed
her coacman for stopping at the wrong number The air
was made blue with private oath She dessted only when
threatened with arrest by policeman.
! 'Damn?"
Persons who know will tell you that with certain set
OF society is the handies adjective in all the
vocabulary.
All of which is confirmation of the suspicion that what
ity the best.
More than that. The leisure life led by some wealthy
women appears to sort of reaction from over refine
men to elemental brutshness Swearing is the least of the
vices of these ''ladies.''
The word damn is bad enough in the mouth of a
decent sort of man.
In the mouth of woman it expresses defilement un
speakable.
AWoman who will habitually and fippantly use pro-
fame expletive has crossed line of demarcaton Most
anything may be expected from her.
There may be self respecting who will use the
word damn without thought of lowering themselves or
because 1T is the custom of the set. But
