OUR NEW RAILROAD.

From all indications, it seems
now cinch that the railroad
will go south from here via
Tulia and Plainview. and that
work will be pushed so as to
complete the road as far as
Plainview by January 1907.
The promoters, Tallmadge
and associates, have been in and
ont Of here almost the entire
week and the surveying corps
with equipment are on hand
ready to begin the work of
cross-sectioning the lines as
soon as some preliminaries have
been arranged.
The News is informed that
Plainview and Tulia have al
ready signed up the contract
for right of way and other pres.
ent requirements, and il is ex.
pected that this town will do so
by the close of this week.
The committee having this
matter in charge for CANYON
City, consisting of L. T. Lester,
w. c. Baird. DR.. Black, W. F.
Heller and L c. Lair, has al
ready secured grants for the
greater portion of the distance
between here and the county
line and expresses itself as very
sanguine over the prospective
results as to the balance re-
CURED of it as a committee.
Now, while this long project
ed and much needed-by our
South Plains friends railway,
seems certain at the present, it
is yet considera bly, in the fog
and not only is this so as to the
present plan being carried out,
but as to its commercial effect
if carried out, upon the future of
Canyon City. There is one way
to view it in which all is lovely
and the goose hangs high. ;"
This is the way we prefer to see
it and do see il just now, but
there is another view that is not |
quite SO rosy. In saying this |
The News does not wish to be |
understood as in any way fore
casting bad results to the
country or even to the town
itself, for to the first named
the countrY-only good can
come and no positive injury can
possibly accrue TO the town, in
fact its future as commercial
center is already assured-the
only question now hanging in
the balances being WAen.
However, as stated, the whole
business is still somewhat in the
fog, but the mist is clearing
away little by little and it is
now thought that by next week
developments will show true
conditions and until then The
News will forbear further com
ment.

ROASTED THE PARK BOARD

CRUSADE BEFORE SOUTH SIDE

South Minneapolis was invaded last
evening by a delegation from the Lake
Improvement associations, consisting Of
DR.. j.. w. Penberthy, j. 3. Meyers, C.
"A. 2. Turner, L. G. Stevenson and DR..
". q. Wilcox. They appeared at the
meeting of the South Side Commercial
club to throw some light on the park
board system, and what they did not
say about the park board has not yet
found place in the dictionary. An eff.
fort was made to interest the club in
the movement to divert the flow of Bias
sett's creek into Cedar lake, and from
thence thru the chain Of lakes to Min
nehaha creek. Alderman w. W. Ehle
Of the twelfth ward said that the South
! Minneapolis parks had been sadly neg
| lected. J. D. Holtzerman said that
moose which he had given the park board
had been allowed to starve to death, ant
that was the way in which the parl
board did things right along. The clul
disposed Of the matter by authorizing
the president to appoint a committee tt
act with similar committees from othe!
organizations.
The club discussed several matters o:
interest to Southtown, such as additional
police protection and grade crossings
but no action was taken. It was re
ported that a ~ minute service woult
be started at once on the South Mime
apolis trolley lines.

Admiral and Engineer.

When you talk about anything be-
ing small, a marine always thinks of q
South American republic,' said Rob-
ert G. G. Craft of the marine recruiting
station today. 'sSometimes you hear
of something pretty small in this coun-
try, but it would be big event if it
happened down there.
Before coming to Minneapolis I
cruised in the waters around Honduras
for eight months and I felt as if it
was a comic opera on the Chinese plan,
sort of continual performance. The
most absurd skit ever put on the Amer
lean stage is more serious than life
down there.
60 The day before we got there the
admiral of the Honduras fleet and the
first engineer stole the navy. That
was the report that we got and we put
on full steam, expecting to see a mag
nifcent battleship sailing out to sea
and flying the skull and crossbones.
AS soon as we got there we found that
the navy consisted of one small tug
boat with two small guns. The adj
miral and the first engineer had run
off with it all by themselves, and, as
far as I ever learned, they were never
heard of again and no one cared par
ticularly.
''During the entire eight months
there was civil war going on. After
the election of president, one Of the
cabinet officers got sore and told the
president that he was going to depose
him. The president told him to 20 on
away and not bother him. +

That started the fight, and they
may be fighting yet. The militia and
the regulars enlisted on either side they
wished and took good chance to camp
out. There is never any fighting in the
daytime, as it is rather hot and inter
feres with chicken fighting and sleep
ing. In the night the soldiers get out
on hill and blaze away at the moon
until their powder gives out. There
was a man killed one night by mistake,
and that almost stopped the fighting.
Everything is on about the same
par with their warfare. In order to
live, the natives row out to a ship en-
terlng the harbor and sell boatload of

DAKOTAS BUY MOST
OF T0NKA BERRIES

Minnetonka blackberries will be
larger and more luscious than ever this
year. Attic the strawberry crop. was
not up to the standard, there has been
an increase in the raspberry crop over
previous years and the fame of the
Tonka berries is spreading.
Most of the blackberries and rasp-
berries find market in the Dakotas, -
said Mr.: Berry Of near Excelsior, one
Of the largest growers on the south
shore of the lake, today. "The Dako-
tas are becoming rich and the people
there are demanding more and more
Injuries. A good price is paid and they
take all we can raise. = =.
The Minnetonka business is grow
ing rapidly. Instead Of handling their
produce individually, the berry raisers
have organized, the organization on
the south shore being known as the
Excelsior association and on the north
shore the Long Lake association. There
are 134 members of the Excelsior asso
citation. Altho there are no more grow
ers on the other shore, they have larger
patches, some of them being ten to ff
teen acres.' D.. r..

FOR BOGUS CHECKS

Crimes. against banks and bankers
seem to be on the increase, and F. e.
Holton, secretary Of the protective
committee Of the Minnesota Bankers
association, is kept very busy issuing
warning cards to members. He says:
"There seems to be an unusual mum
Der Of bogus checks being offered thru
out the state at present, and members
are being requested to notify local
merchants and to ask them to be care
ful in accepting checks from uniden-
titled persons.''
The association is after Fred Han
son, who passed two bogus checks at
Worthington. He is described as about
30 years of age, light complexion, heavy
sandy mustache, light-brown hair

in height, weight 145 to $50 pounds
