The Great Northern officials laugh
at most Of the claims Of the strikers,

fected by the strike are open for bust
ness. Two operators have returned to

of the first closed, has been opened by

Washington, Aug. 7.-Further extern
sion Of the Twin City Rapid Transit ear
line into Fort Smelling will not be. made
until better bridge facilities are pro-
vided and a new. interurban line is COM
pleted by that route. A board of army
officers, in a report recently submitted
to the war department., recommended
the extension Of the present line to the
infantry barracks, along the Minnesota
river, but that recommendation was dis
approved by General Carr, commander
of the department Of Dakota, by Gen
eral Oliver, assistant secretary Of war,
and by Congressman Stevens, who took
the ground that the present terminus
would give Minneapolis and st. Paul an
equal show for the transportation bust
ness. from the fort. Mr.. Stevens will
urge congressional action for the i'm
provement of the .bridge and when this
Improvement is completed, the line will
be extended along the Mississippi river
side Of the reservation to connect with
the st. Paul line.

ONLY TWO AGENTS LEFT
Men on Hannah Branch of Great
Northern Full Of Fight. -

Special to The Journal.
Grand Forks, n. D., Aug. 1.-THE
Hannah branch of the Great Northern
has developed by far the scrappiest at
titudc of any section of the Great Nor
thern on the central division. Telegra-
pliers assert that there are but two
agents working on that line-one at
Park River and one at Hannah, claiming
that the stations at McCanna, Orr, Ink
ster, Conway, Pisek, Edinburg, Milton,
Osnabrock, Langdon, Dresden. and
Wales are closed.
The telegraphers have esta blished
headquarters in the Columbia hotel
here, directly across the street from
of order men are stationed here, 60
ing out daily on picket duty. They say
the strike is just started, and that they
have decidedly the best Of it.
Among the agents who are at head
quarters is S.. j. Oglesby, agent at
Wales. Oglesby was chairman Of the
Z Dakota division committee, but sew
eral days age he was reported to have
deserted the order and returned to
work. He made trip over the division
with superintendent Nicholson and ad-
vised the men to return to work, many
Of them doing so at his suggestion. He
is now at headquarters, and has sent
out the following notice to the agents
Of the Dakota division: j.

MAC LANE AT THE KEY
Strike Cuts Into the Freight Business
at Little Falls.

Special to The Journal. e
Little Falls, MIMI, Aug. 1.-THE
strike Of the Northern Pacific telegraph
ers has affected freight business at this
point. The Pine Tree Lumber. COM
pany's planning mill was compelled to
shut down for three days for lack of
cars, getting only one or two cars day,
when the usual amount shipped out by
this company is from fifteen to twenty
cars a day. -...s:
Freight has been refused shipment to
the small stations along the line and
freighting has been done by team to
some of the nearby towns.
Chief Train Dispatcher MacLane of
the Northern Pacific has been at this
station since the strike was started, and
has been in charge Of the keys almost
continuously, not daring to leave the
new men sent here in charge of the
train orders. Out of the five non
union men sent to this station, not one
was found competent. $50 =
There are several strangers in town,
said tosbe secret service men Of the road
and non-union telegraphers, who will
probably be sent to small stations above
here. Only two stations are open be-
tween here and Staples. Express is
taken only subject to delay: Everything
is quiet at this station ard no violence
of any kind is, expected. = : -: q:

Rocky Mountain Division Men Will Not
Take Telephone Orders.
Special to The Journal;

Special to The Journal, "~'.-
Helena; Mont, Aug. THE tele-
graphers on the Northern Pacific made
a distinctive gain in their controversy
when last night the conductors of the
Rocky Mountain division, extending
from Helena to Hope, Idaho, in q meet
ing, determined hereafter to refuse to
receive train orders over the telephone
or move trains by what is known as
the q tlag' system. The superintendent
was accordingly notified.
Outside of another freight wreck on
the Great Northern and the fact that
the telegraphers are proving rather sue
cessful in their efforts to induce the
strike-breakers to leave their posts of
duty, there are practically no new de-
velopments in the strike. Both Great
Northern. freight wrecks were due to
defective fanges and served to delay
passenger traffic several hours. North
ern Pacific passenger trains are still run
ming from four to five hours late.
Archibald Gray. assistant general pas.
senger and freight agent of the Great
Northern, says his company will today
begin a movement of freight trains by
the timecard system, which, while it
necessitates delays in instances, is alb
solutely safe.

YURIK WAS YANKED
OUT OF THE ATTIC

Matt Yurik, Slav living under the
Washington avenue bridge, was too en-
thusiastic in searching for his pet
pigeons last night and paid $40 for his
zeal this morning in police court.
Yurik s birds flew to the attic of his
neighbor, Mike Howith, and while Mike
was at church last night the fancier
climbed up into the attic and tried to
catch the birds. The owner of the
house returned home and. hearing some
who arrested Yurik for unlawfully en-
tering building.
Yurik drew a knife as the police
entered the attic, but when he was
shown an ugly-looking revolver he sur
rendered and came out of his hiding
place.
