A complaint has been made to the
government that the 500 railroad COM
pany has constructed bridge across
the Red river at Oslo, which obstructs
navigation. The structure is tenn
porary one, owing to the inability of
the company to get steel for the con-
struction of drawblidge, which is re-
quired by the government. Steel
has been laid on the temporary wooden
bridge, and steamboats, cannot pass
beyond that point. The East Grand
Forks Transportation company owning
a line of steam boats en- the Red river,
have for years hauled a vast amount
of grain from the country beyond OSLO.
and this company has filed a protest
with the government against the
maintenance of any bridge across the
Red river that will interfere with
navigation. The 500 line is now con-
structed to within two miles Of
Ardoch, about ten miles west Of the
Red river, and work is being rushed
as rapidly as possible in order that the
road may be given opportunity to han
die large portion Of the crop from
that section Of the state. The East
Grand Forks Transportation company
is just as anxious to bring out big
part OF the crop along the river north
Of Oslo, and demand for the removal
Of any distractions to navigation may
give the 500 GO. considerable trouble.

Special 10 Ihe Evening Joufnai
Dover, Aug. 5.-Freight traffic over
the eDlaware Radlroad is rapidly in
creasing and Frequently trains Of fifty
cars are seen. The freight is perish
able and consists OF fruit and pro-
dace from the Peninsular and Southern
States. The latest record of Shipments
is eleven hundred loaded cars in twen-
lty-f0ur hours.
The refusal of the Pennsylvania Ratl-
road to shelve cars for the shipment oi
peauhes from Delaware this season,
because of the serious falling of i'm the
crop. has created new conditions dn
other hines Of produce. More peaches
than usual will remain in Delaware for
home consumption, but the prices are
so good that the growers can well az
ford to ship in Georgia peach Carriers
and plum baskets all of which are ealsi-
/ ly handled.
But there is no redress for the toma-
TO grower. He cannot ship his products
