Heard with Proof.

jamestown Alert: A couple of east
ern magazine publishers are printing
stories about the alleged "LOoting of
Alaska" also serial story in which
certain we'll known North Dakota men
are said to figure as leading charac-
tiers. Certain "insurgent" candidates
and newspapers in the state, appear to
be trying to get some support by APP
plauding the stories as gospel truth,
and roasting the men supposed to be
the leading figures in the tales.
The stories are of the yellow backed
literature type, luridly depicting the
so-called wild west toughness, that the
eastern publisher is so fond of pictur-
ing; when the slums of his own rotten
cities reek with the most desperate of
criminals, high and low; where crime
is srampant and mans life is hardly
safe on the principal streets: while
gambling, robbery and holdups, with
footing of private property are of such
common and brazen occurrence, that
their daily report excites merely a
passing comment 4. =
These magazine stories, SO far as
they have been printed, and purport
to reveal facts about the Nome mining
frenzied rush of gold hunters to Alas
ka are plainly imaginary fiction; lard
ed with conversations, and alleged
plots wrought into the yarn as a cheap.

The North Dakota gentlemen re-.
ferred to are well able to care for
themselves in any attack on their
records or regulations. and as there
are always two sides to question,
there are to this Alaska affair. The
San Francisco cabal of gold sharks
that infested Nome and other Alaska,

MIA courts and controlling the process

men who are able to tell the facts, di-

this be done 1t is confidently asserted
that there will be nothing to detract

North Dakota men, and it will be.

church's Ferry Story.

The Sun is constantly in receipt of
reports from various quarters regard
ing the Aneta branch extension, but
because of the unreliable source ofdns
formation we have refrained from pub
fishing these reports.
This week, however, comes to us a
report which is In circulation in rail-
road centers that the Great Northern
has concluded to build to Churchs Fer
ry as soon as they decide to extend
the, Aneta branch, and that the road
will be double tracked to Minot; that
the >coast-trains will go from this
place to Fargo via the new line, thus
saving GO miles over the old line: that
special accommodation train( for the
benefit of Devils Lake, will be run
from Churchs Ferry to Duluth over
the old line. %
Our informant also states the freight
division ts to remain at Devils Lake.
1t is fact that two surveys have
been made one to Devils Lake via
Pelican point and the other across the
Fort Totten reservation, crossing the
narrows thence through Norway town
ship and striking the main line Just
east OF the coulee bridge east of
Churchs Ferry. i
. We are also informed that with a
view to handling the work at this
place incident to the proposed new
order OF things, the company viii in
the spring move all the elevators at
Churchs Ferry to the north side Of the
main line to make room for four new
side tracks on the south side and that
g fourteen stall round house will Be
erected here during the war.
The Sun has reason to believe that
lnere Is some foundation to this rumor
ana We give It our readers until the
ne4u rumor reaches u.s. ChurchsFer-

Improving the Pace.
(Edinburg Tribune.)

The initial issues of the Grand Forks
Evening Times arrived at our sanctum
with such journalistic brightness that
we refrained from notice lest the pace
shown was too brilliant to keep the
fine lustre. In this surmise we were
weak, as we find that it is moving to be
rare guilty of vintage, and getting
better as it grows older. OF course we
expected something from Bros
Small and Lampman, and that some
thing comes in the form of one of the
newest papers, local and otherwise,

ADJUSTMENTS
Mr.. Harold Nelson.

The prospects for the local X. p.
lodge making success of their ven
ture in securing the Nelson company
for the presentation OF their play of
Damon and Pythias is assured. The
interest shown by the public being
everything that could be desired. They
are certainly to be congratulated on
securing company who have so
thoroughly established themselves in
popular favor and have proved their
worth and capabilities SO completely.
The play will be staged in the same
sumptuous and careful manner that
was such feature of al their produc-
tons during the last engagement.
The second nights bill is so we'll
known and will be remembered by Mr..
Nelson's finished performance as the
Roman Patrician, 'Petronius," that
comment is entirely useless.

in a rookery it strikes one as not sur

about one chick to ten or twelve

Both males and females want to nurse.
and the result is that when a chicken
finds himself alone there is a rush on
the part of a dozen. unemployed to
seize him.
Naturally he runs away and lodges
here and there till a huge emperor
falls on him, and then begins regu-
lar football scrimmage, in which, each
tries to hustle the other off, and the
end is too often disastrous to the chick.
