Special to The Evening Times.

Special to The Evening Timer,
Crosby, n. D., July 3O.-It now APP
pears to be settled that the Great
Northern will extend its branch from
Berthold through northern Williams
county this season and that Crosby
will be its terminal.
Whether or not the Great Northern
intended to follow up its survey with
actual construction has been a ques-
ton of much concern. especially to
the business interests of Crosby,
which, as the trade center of northern
Williams county, has assumed con-
siderable growth.
The 500 has road graded through
this section from Flaxton on it's main
line and the laying of rails on this
has begun. The road, however, does
not enter Crosby, but passes about a
mile and half to the north, and the
company, taking it as granted that the
town would move, plated a new
Crosby tOwnsite, two and half miles
northeast of the present site.
When the sale of lots was opened
about two weeks ago it was found that
the business men had formed a COM
pASS' ohu ASiuoSo W Ous, 6ISiu6 " luc
officials prepared statement of their
objections and dissatisfaction. AS
result the sale was declared OFF and a
new site selected half mile nearer,
which is being plated and which will
be without many of the Objectionable
features Of the former.
The leading motive. however, back
of the objections of the business men
seems to have been to defer action I'M
til definite knowledge could be had
relative to the intention of the Great
Northern.
On Wednesday Messrs. R. E. Tate,
engineer, and C. H. Babcock, land
commissioner of the Great Northern,
arrived and settled the matter in the
minds Of the people by selecting site
for terminal purposes, and, at called
mass meeting, giving assurances that
the road would be built and in opera
ton this year.
The new townsite will be mile and
half east of Crosby's present location
and two miles south of the proposed
500 Crosby townsite. AS the 500 is
built only six miles south of the inter-
national boundary line and the Great
Northern only two miles south of the
500, in this county, the object of the
delay of the Great Northern seems OBJ.
| vioNs to many, and with rich agricul-
tural country lying to the south it is
felt that the towns along its line will
be prosperous trade centers.

the vile prison on the Isle of Pines
comes in the nick of time. the State
Department having decided to protest
vigorously against her further impris-

love with Lewis Giltner who is a Cor

ing his profession on the island. Miss
Brown and Mr.. Giltner saw great
deal of each other and having mutual
likes and dislikes drifted together and
eventually were afiianced. But rs
Giltner had to make show of attend

Finally Giltner conceived the idea
of erecting telegraph line from his

made his daring attempt to blockade
the Spanish feet in the harbor by

without the slightest effort on the part
of Powell. He had no friends In con-

bravery Of remarkable kind, and one
which all those who saw It declared

(By E. c. Snyder.)

. Washington, July 3O.-lt Is I'M. 9
!. derstO0d that an official statement 9
Z: will shortly be issued by the Com. o
Q missioner Of Labor, Charles p. 8
o Neill, relative to the cost of living o
{: during the past year in contrast to o
9 wages. 1t is generally conceded o
=" that wages have not correspond. o
Q fngly advanced within the year to o
:. OFFSET the Increased cost of living. O
Q This will be the first time that the o
government has admitted that the o
cost Of living has advanced more o
rapidly than wages, although ey. @
(: erybOdy who works for q salary o
:. knows that II has been true for o
Q several years. o
1t is curious fact that the report
will show that the advance in prices
has not been confined to the products
of mills and factories. 1t will show
that the products of the farm have adj
vanced almost as rapidly as manu-
featured articles which pass through
several hands before reaching the
consumer. The farmer is receiving
higher prices for his products than
ever before but there does not seem
to be any good reason for the advance
in the prices of manufactured articles
unless it is that the trusts are enabled
to control the price of the domestic ar
ticle and that with corresponding ad-
vance in the wage scale they have put
the price up to the consumer.
An 1@n NJ of L4
commerce and labor in explanation of
the fact that the cost of living has ad-
vanced SO rapidly says he attributes 1t
to the increase of the gold production
within the last decade and half The
supply of money has increased at a
rate greater than the supply of the
necessities Of life money being plenti-
full people will pay more for an article
than 1t would bring years ago when
the per capita of money was not near
ly so great
The annual production of gold in the
world from 1900 to 1850 was but six
teen million dollars. From 1890 ia
1900 the yearly production of gold was

lars, and from 1900 to 1905 the yearly
production increased to three hundred

The gold crop is not consumed. II
remains in the world as permanent
stock to increase the worlds supply

! quiring more than all the other ma

County Business Will be Second.

E. E. Wilson has always de-
clared that his time was wholly
taken up with his own business
affairs. Judge Woodward will
be able to devote his whole time
to the affairs of the county.
If we estimate E. E. Wilson's s
private business as No. I and
Benton county's as No. with
Mr.. Wilson, how would poor old
Benton fare if the lawyer chanced
to have special private business
at the same time that Benton had
a deal? Mr.. Wilson'S private
law practice, being No. I with
that gentleman. would have first
attention, and Benton, being No.
2, could bide her time.
