cial order, early in the session in
the presence Of crowded chamber.
After it was read Mr.. Grady, the
minority leader, explained the attitude
of the Democratic senators. He said

sending Mr.. Depew to the United

recalling Mr.. Depew must be on the
party that sent him there. The Demo.

William Boyle, late Of Seventh ave.
So, Jamestown, were conveyed to the
St. James Catholic church, where SOL
emn requiem wass sung by Father
Duffy, Father Mcdonald officiating as
Deacon and Father Gallahue ,as sub
deacon. After the mass, Father Nc
Donald preached an eloquent and
touching panegyric over the remains
of the deceased. The venerable
preacher took for his text thOse touch
ing words from the gospel Of St. Luke
'sBe ye always ready, for at what hour
ye know not the son of man will
come" In beautiful, touching, and
sympathetic language, the eloquent
preacher told how the late VIM. Boyle
had led good Catholic life, and find
ing that his dissolution was nigh
when he should:put off this mortal coil,
how he had endeavored with all the
will power Of his soul to die "a good,
holy, and happy death.
William Boyle was born in Morris,
Mimi, % years ago. During his early
years he gave evidence Of being a
good citizen and afterwards proved
this by bis actions as q young man.
Belonging as he did, to one of the
finest Catholic families in the North.

PHONE LINE TO LAKE
Farmers Between SpIritwood lake
and jamestown Signed for New
Enterprise. viii be Put in by
the Northwestern Telephone Co.

The prospect now is that the
Northwestern Telephone Company
will secure enough patronage to war
rant the construction Of a first class
telephone Line from Jamestown to
Spiritwood lake, making branch exten-
sions from main line to some Is or 20
farm houses. The farmers have been
seen by Mr.. H. McDorman, contract
agent for the Northwestern Tel. Co.,
and nearly every one has expressed a
willingness to take the service, realiZ-
ing it's great conveniences and time
saving advantages. Every farmer
along the proposed line, but two or
three, have signed the agreement to
subscribe for the phones, and they will
no doubt join in later. If the lake
cottagers will now aid the enterprise
it is bound to be a success.
1t is something that Jamestown
people have long wanted and plan
has been talked over for local COM
pany to Guild line!kbut if the same
can be secured by the Northwestern
company and connection made here
for local and long distance service, it
will be much superior to any line that
would be built by private means.
There is already phone line to
Wimbledon and the Northwestern
company expect to extend the lake
line to Courtenay.
Contract Agent McDorman has
spent several days of hard work among
the farm residents along the line
showing the real advantages Of the
phones. The bonus asked to secure
the building. Of the line is $50, for
each subscriber, and $1.50 a month
rental thereafter. All experience
\ .;th rural phone lines shows that they
pay the farmers well in many ways,
being convenient to summon a doctor
in case of sickness or to order supplies
and repairs, etc. In the busy farm
season they frequently save many
trips to the city and much time, be-
sides the right to converse with
neighbors at all times Of the day or
night. ~s :
The new line, if it is installed, will
be first class in every particular, with
the best of poles, wires and instru-
ments, the equal in every respect to
the service in the city. Not more than
five subscribers will be allowed on any
one line, and the central office will be
at Jamestown. The cottagers at the
lake can have the instruments tn their
homes. The many conveniences Of a
good line to the city from the lake
will appeal to every one who has ever
been at the only fresh water lake
resort in the state, which is in many
ways an advantage for Jamestown
that no other town in the state
possesses, and Jamestown cottagers
will no doubt lend their aid towards
making the line an assured success,
joining with the farmers to do so.
The prices for the cottagers, are slS
bonus and 81 a month for rent, for the
season Of four months.

RAILROAD RUMBL|kGS
Largely Increased Freight and Pas
senoer Business in jamestown.
Bio Increase In Tranterred Freight.
Other Railroad Notes.

The year 1905 has been a record
breaker for the Northern Pacific at
the Jamestown station, and extra
men and crews have been employed to
handle the largely increased traffic.
Agent Boyden has made up his annual
reports and figures for the year, and
finds that the increase in freight and
passenger business has been some 20
per cent more than in 1904. This
means a big volume of traffic and
shows the large amount of goods hand.
led at this station for the merchants
and others.
About Is per cent in the amount OF
transferred business has also been
found for this year over last. That is,
freight sent to Jamestown in car lots
and reshipped from here to points
along the N. P. branches north and
south. The Northern branch, includ-
ing the Oberon and IDenhof exten-
sions, have had a big increase in busi-
ness, and it is estimated that the COM
pany has supplied at least 5000 more
people in that part Of the state tribu-
tary to the branch lines than last
year.
The transfer business to points on
the Oakes branch has also greatly in
creased and is growing. Agent Boy
den requested that an extra crew be
given him during the rush season for
unloading and transferring west bound
freight shipped here, for other points,
and agreed to give the company GER
tain number of empty cars each
month for the grain service, quicker
than they could be had if the cars
were sent through to destination only
partly loaded. Not only was the num-
Der promised secured by the transfer
here, done by the extra help, but twice
the number of cars were turned over
to the company to haul back grain.
The railroad company is preparing
for another busy season, beginning al
ready with new, business, caused by
the Increased population and good
crops.
As showing the growing interests OF
the company on the division, and the
Importance of Jamestown as a division
headquarters, 1.-THE order Of railway
conductors of this division, which for
convenience has been for many years
at FARGO, will be moved to James
town.
The passenger service Of the COM
pany will be as good this year as last
and nothing conld be better for the
city and the public. When ever there
is a merited attraction or convention
Of state interests here, that will war
rant the sale of excursion tickets, 1.-THE
sale will be made, a change in this re-
spect having been put into effect the
first Of the year.
The low stcge Of water in the Jim
river has made it necessary for the
company to use water from the city
hydrants, hauling it in tanks to the
railroad we'll at the river and again
pumping it into the shops A great
deal more water us being used here
than ever before, and some additional
supply at the round house will be
necessary either by q dam or other
means.
1t is stated that the railroad com.
pany expects that at least one whole
sale house will be started here this
year.
