G. N. TO REMOVE
SHOPS FROM L ARIMORE'
Mayor Roach IS Notified That This VIII Be
the Case--Company's Representative Meets
City Council Saturday Night.

The city council met Saturday
night and a very warm session
was the result. A Mr.. Clay, rep
resenting the Great Northern rail
road company was present, and
the proposition Of building the
Great Northern viaduct was brot
up.
The company wishes to build
a viaduct fourteen feet high or
higher, from their right-of-way
on thenorth to Ward street which
would throw the south approach
not far from the jacobson ele-
vator. Most OF the members Of
the council did not favor this
plan, as it would throw the
traffic too far from main street.
The council is in favor OF thevia-
ducts being built to Reishus
street, a block west OF main
street, which would throw the
viaduct diagonally northwest
and southeast to Ward street on
the north. This would cause the
company to go to a great deal
more expense, as in that case,
the viaduct would be longer.
The company asks the city to
build the approaches to the via
duct on the city's property and
this the council is in favor OF do
ing The company agrees to keep
in repair the vladuct. Mr. Clay
believes that the company will
agree to thecouncil's propositions

Ramstad were in the Twin Cities

shops from Larimore to this city
and the superintendent Offices
and buildings will also be moved
here. The viaduct's being built
in o diagonal direction willknock
some Of the company's plans, as
the company intended building
the shops and superintendent
buildings on the right-of-way be-
tween the round house and the
west bridge.
The company is anxious to
build the shops not far from the
round house, that the same en-.
CINE may furnish power for both
concerns.
Next Saturday night the conn-
Gil will meet for the purpose OF
drafting a new ordinance provid-
ing for the building Of this i'm
mense viaduct.. The city should
be willing, and we believe it is, to
stand it's share of the ex-
pense Of the viaduct. The
city will have to pay
81 400. The Great Northern will
be tosan expense OF $4,000 while
the 500 will have tocontribute for
that portion which passes across
it's r!ght-of-way, $500. Ward
county will be to an expense OF
81, 200. This means that Minot
will see nearly nine thousand
dollars in improvements from the
viaducts alone this year. The
Great Northern will becompelled
to build clear across Mouse river;
this will always give us a good
bridge even in times OF flood,
should those times ever appear
again.

Two Trains Get As Far As Rat
on this Morning. Others
will Get Out Tonight.
MORE RAIN CAUSES
FURTHER DELAY
No Passengers or Mails From the
East Before Tomorrow. Stub
Train South Tonight.

Two Of the eleven delayed passen-
ger trains from the west that have
been held up at Las Vegas got away
for the east this morning. However,
they were able only to reach Ration,
where they will be held until further
damages from the flood can be re.
paired. II was expected that by max.
ing transfer of half mile across a
gap near Starkville and then placing
the passengers on board the Trinidad
trolley cars. connection could be
made with the trains that had come
in from the east.
However, more rain last night caus-
ed further difficulty and It was found
impossible to reach Starkville. For
the same reason, no transfers could
be made from the eastern trains and
accordingly the mails and delayed pas
sengers expected from the east won't
get here before tomorrow.
II is the intention this afternoon, to
give the passengers here an early
supper and start them north this even
ing. 1t is believed that the gap may
be crossed by transfer tomorrow
morning. If no more rain falls.
The situation Is momentarily more
trying both for the passengers and
the railroad people and, under the
circumstances, the equanimity with
which the ones interested accept con
ditions is a rifle remarkable.
If the mails should be received early
tomorrow. Postmaster Blood will have
the windows opened and make de.

are not available till afternoon. the

Advocates Stealing
"Uncle Joe" Cannon

Former Governor Murphy OF Ari.
zona informed the Optic last night
that he had received word from the
party that Is hunting bear with uncle
joe Cannon In the Sierra Madres that
the nations czar viii visit New Mex
leo and Arizona before returning TO
Illinois, Governor Murphy says that
though Cannon Is the greatest despot
that ever this country was blessed
with. It would pay Arizona and New
Mexico to forget that they were the
victims OF his despotism and give
the old man the time OF his life II they
can get hold OF him. The gentleman
from Arizona Is In favor Of roping
the old warrior, II necessary, detain
ing him In the territory by force and
spending about twenty thousand dol.
lars In assisting him to do Arizona and
New Mexico in the most approved
style.
Governor Murphy declares that the
speaker Is good fellow. but that
he doesn't understand the territor-
les, their conditions and their resour-
ces and their ideals. Once let the light
into the old gentlemans mind and he
will be the kind of friend that Is
worth having.
''One thing Is certain concluded
the former governor. IF We can hold
Cannon in Arizona for few days we
will at least convince him that not all
his despotism will ever force Ari-
zona into union which Is hateful
to her, and expect New Mexico would
do some of the same sort OF convinc.
