the railroad work between here
and Cottonwood is being pushed to
completion as rapidly as possible.
The different camps have all been
kept busy and the contractors are
complaining but little OF any con-
ditions that might retard the work.
Contractor j. Emmons has a
camp located out near the new
townsite of Fem, where be has
the contract for finishing three
miles of grade. He has two miles
of the grade all roughed up, that
is, practically finished. The re-
naming distance is completed with
the exception OF big cut on the
Won Bargen place which he is
working on at present.
For two miles west of Grange
vile, with the exception of a few
culverts and bridges, Contractor
E. Emerson has the grade COM
pleted. Mr.. Emerson has the con-
tract for the grade for three miles,
out to the Yates place west OF
town. His men are working on a
big cut at that point at present,
but the progress is somewhat ham,
pered owing to the presence ol
large boulders and rock in the
ground. The contractors say they
could use more men aud teams 1
they were available. 1t is esti
mated that 75 men are employed
between here and Cottonwood.
The main tunnel, located abou
seven miles from Culdesac, is abon
half completed. 1t is 800 feet il
length. The other tunnels ar
also being finished. Work wa

Lawyers Canyon last week and tn
concrete work is pretty well alon,
there. The structure is 1900 fee
long and about 2S5 feet high
After leaving the canyon, about Il
miles out from Culdesac, the grad
is all finished for a distance {
seven miles, with the exception G
the bridges and culverts.
1t is generally understood tina
when the bad weather commences
the raill DAD work will be abar
doned for a time on the prairi
and the entire forces be concer
trated in the heavy rock work nea

A TUSKEEGEE
GRADUATE
Buffet Conductor ON the Duluth Line
Of the Great Northern is Dramatic
Artist us Well as Namesake of
Gen. Joseph E. johnson.

]. e. Johnson, the buffet conductor
who runs between Grand Forks and
Duluth on the Great Northern is some-
thing of a scholar as well as IL
thorough going gentleman. Mr.. John
son is graduate of Booker T. Wash
iEgton's famous industrial institute at
Tuskeegee, Alabama. 1t was some IA
years ago that Mr.. Johnson left the
institute but he has kept in touch with
his alma mater and never fails to
speak a good word for the school.
He knew Mr.. Washington before he
became a world character and believes
that he is on the right road to the
solution of the race problem.
Mr.. Johnson is namesake of Gen.
Joseph E. Johnson, the greatest gen.
eral of the Confederate states, save
Gen. Lee. This may account for some
Of Mr.. Johnson's traits of intellect but
surely not for his love of the dramatic
art. He is a student of Shakespeare
and has arranged to take private les
sons of Prof. Koch of the state univer-
sity of this city. He is at present
working on Othello, Hamlet and King
Lear. He will appear in an enter
tainment in several of the roles which
he is studying in Duluth in the near
future.

A GOOD PLAN
FOR FORKS
N. r. Brown of Crookston is Building
Many and Substantial Houses for
Rental Purposes-While They Do
Not Bring Great Returns, They Help.

Capt M. R. Brown of Crookston was
a visitor in the city last evening be-
tween trains. The captain is a hard
headed business man but one of the
most patriotic men on earth. He
stays with his home town all of the
time, and at every turn of the wheel
he is on deck. ',se.A
Capt. Brown has built and is build
ing some Is houses in Crookston for
renting purposes. They are not of the
Observation-Disclosures variety but mod
ern and we'll built houses. He has
gathered his houses mostly in one por-
ton of the town and has given q little
park to the city and secured the boul-
Guarding of the streets, the planting of
shade trees, etc. The captain says
that there is not much money in il,
less than six percent but that it Is a
safe investment and it helps the town."
He rents only good houses and gets
the best of tenants.
This would be an excellent idea for
some Grand Forks citizen to adopt.
Build a large number of substantial
and modern houses in some section
Of the city and gradually build it up.
While the actual returns on the money
will not be large, the city will be help
ed and whatever helps the city will
help the property owner.

WORKINGMEN
FOR DINNIE
There Seems to Be Demand for the
Reelection Of the Ex.Mayor by the
Wage Earner-He is Considered Dis.
tinctly the Friend Of the Poor.

The sentiment among the wage
carriers of Grand Forks seems to favor
the candidacy of eX-Mayor John Din
ME for chief executive of the city. In
going the rounds The Evening Times
men lind there is an almost unanimity
OF opinion among the plain people that
1t is for the best interests of Grand
Forks to re-elect him mayor. Just
why this is SO is not quite apparent
but the popular argument has it that
ne always favored the very best wages
for the men who worked with their
hands and economical along other
lines when it was necessary to re-
trench somewhere. On the other hand
1t is said that Mayor Duis has cut the
wages of the toiler when he sought to
economize. They find no particular
fault with the general administration
of Mayor Duis but are satisfied that
John Dinnie is their friend, first, last
and all of the time.
Another argument used by the labor
ing men is that John Dinnie always
has time to shake hands with them
end have friendly word or give them
all of the assistance possible when
they are in trouble when he is not
candidate as we'll as when he is. On
the other hand they say that the
dear people" are of but little interest
to the average candidate until he gets
political ambitions.
There can be no question that, what
ever the outcome of the present may
orality fight, John Dinnie will have the
wage Garner with him. In fact they
seem to be more solid. for him than
ever in the past, as one of them ex-
pressed it, I'VE have had try at some
thing else and are satisfied to go back
to Jack Dinnie."

& Milk-Local Dairymen to be Invited
to the Lecture.
Professor Brannon ofathe university
has kindly accepted a request to give
a practical talk upon the important
question of pure milk, which was
mentioned in The Evening Times Of
last night, at the meeting of the Com
mercial club to be held next Monday
evening. 1t is the intention Of the club
to invite in local dairymen and the
meeting will be Of semi-public ma
ture.
At this meeting of the club, or in
the very near future, a chairman will
be selected to lead the club during the
absence Of President Lander and it is
probable that VIM. Spriggs will be SCI
lected. Mr.. Spriggs is chairman of the
committee appointed recently to con-
suit with that of the council upon paw
ing matters and will make an efficient
chairman Of the club.
The probable drafting of an or
dinance for a milk inspection of the
supply furnished the city is the ex-
pected outcome of the discussion of the
subject. Local dairymen seem willing
to cooperate with the city to take all
possible precautions for keeping milk
in as pure condition as possible and
much good is expected from the agita-
ton Of the subject.

N. DAKOTA FOR
WINTER
People Of Grand Forks Are wouder-
ing Why Anyone Should Go South
for the Winter season-Did Not
Freeze Last Night.

Z Ii a.- .I T. ~
With the thermometer ranging from
80 to SO degreessabove, people of Grand
Forks are wondering why anyone
should go south. The warn wave
struck several days ago, but did not
really get here until yesterday. It
thawed all day and played havoc with
the roads both in the city and country.
The streets of Grand Forks are all
cut up today and it is extremely diff
cult to haul loads of any size. The
roads in the country which are built
up are soft enough to punch full of
holes and it is difficult travelling with
or without load-in fact, it Is hard
to haul load of any description. The
fields are beginning to look black, not
that the snow has gone, but that it has
melted enough to leave "a layer of
earth on topo the snow. The country
roads and streets Of the city are in
the same condition and the sleighing
is not Of the best.
