Great Northern Magnato May Take q
Hand in Operators Strike.
st. Paul, Aug. 14.-President James
]. Hill Of the Great Northern road has
returned from the East and it is ex-
pected that his return will have some
bearing within day or two upon the
situation in regard to the teleg-
raphers' strike.
President H. B. Perham of the Or
der of Railway Telegraphers ex-
pressed confidence that after Mr.. Hill
had gone over the situation carefully
and gone into all the details he would
be ready to treat with the strikers,
though having by wire previously re-
fused to do so. According to Presi-
dent Perham no advances have been
made or will be made by the oper-
ators.
The strike situation remains un-
changed, the railroads refusing to dis
cuss the matter and the strikers as
serting that they are losing no ground.
Mr.. Perham received q report from
Fargo that but four freights had
passed that point Saturday asd the
same number Friday, whereas the nor
NAL traffic is about thirty or thirty
five freights each day.

half mile west of Spencers Bridge,
near Ashcroft, B. c., sweeping the
waters of the Thompson river over
the entire Indian village, leaving moth
ing but wreck in it's path. The land

Buys Old Rapid City Road.

The rumor that the Northwestern
railroad proposed to build from Rapid
City to the Missouri river received
some substantial corroboration when
1t became known that the road had
bought the old Rapid City, Missouri
River and st. Paul railway and eight
cen miles of grade between Rapid
City and Owl creek. The price said
to have been paid for this road, to-
gether with the right Of way, is $40,-
900. 1t Is further believed that the
Missouri River and Northwestern
railroad, which is now laying rails
from both ends of the road between
Rapid City and Mystic, is under the
of the Milwaukee road,
which soon expects to build to the
Hills and is getting a foothold.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Dispatches
received at the state department Tues
day from China show that Shanghai
is the only place where the boycott
against American goods has assumed
anything like a serious aspect. At
Canton the movement has made some
headway, but at other points it has
not been successful. This information
was supplied in response to instruc-

Rockhill and the consular officers in
