Forks on dozens of trains. The jour-
ney to St. Pail is now made in nine
hours and fifty minutes on palatial
trains with comfortable sleepers and
first class dining service. :.
The prairies were covered with buff
falo and game abounded in great guam
titles. Often the Red Lake and the
Red Rivers were fairly choked with
great herds of the American bison.
The hardship suffered by the settlers
during the long cold winters cannot
be imagined by people of today. There
was plenty of wood along the rivers
and the settlers cut and sold cord
wood to the steamboat companies for
$500 cord. Schools were unknown
and Crookston and Grand Forks were
but miserable little frontier towns of
a few dozen people each. The Indians
were Omnipresent and the trade with
him was one of the chief means of
support of a large number of the set
tiers. Hardships and suffering was the
common lot: the comforts of life were
almost unknown and the settler was
content to secure the bare necessities
of life. When this Is contrasted to
Grand Forks of the present hour, with
Its modern buildings, great stores,
train service and all the other trap
pings of modern civilization miracle
has been wrought by the pioneers.
The contrast of the conditions under
which we labor is pleasant to con-
template.

WE ALSO WANT 1T.
Grand Forks Needs a Connection With
the Kenmare Branch of the 500.

hFaAeh
Among the projects which will tell
for the growth of Grand Forks is the
connection of the city with the Thief
River Falls-Kenmare extension of the
500 Railway. The new line is now
being operated and while it is crossed
again and again by the Great North
err branches, the trade of the 500
towns will most of. it go over that
line direct to Minneapolis. The road
is distinctly a Minneapolis project
and while it is closely allied with the
Canadian Pacific, Tom Lowery and
Minneapolis capitalists dominate it's
management
running north to connect the city
with the 500 for the ACCOMMODATION
OF the local ipbbers and manufacture
ers. 1t wOuld not take over 20 miles
of track and trains could be run from
here direct to the 500 towns. If the
line Is extended west from Kenmare
this project becomes all the more i'm
pOrtant.
There is considerable talk of a.
local company If the 500 cannot be
induced to build the branch. 1t is
likely, however, that the 500 man.
agement will listen to the right kind
of proposition. 1t would also be of
great advantage to the city if the line
could be built east and connect with
the Winnipeg line. This would give
the road cut off. especially if the
eastern branch extended southeast
and the northern branch northwest
This would be desirable cutoff and
would make much more direct
route for through trains to the west
from the twin cities than via Thiee
River Falls.
The matter is one that should not
be dropped until every stone is turn
ed to secure the best possible results
for the city.

SERIOUS SLY
HAMPERED
Builders Delayed by the Short supply
OF Electrical Material Caused BY .
War Among Manufacturers.

The electric light companies Of this
section of the northwest are being
seriously hampered in their work by
lack of materiala While the trouble
results from a war among the manu-
facturers of electrical supplies, the
eject on the local supply is just the
opposite of the usual clashes among
rival producers. While all materials
have cheapened, the factories are de-
laying orders, either from scarcity
resulting from the unusual low rates
and large orders or else+because mgy-.
desire to cast an anchor to windward
and not put in any large quantities
of supplies until prices have readjust-
ed themselves.
The effect on the local conditions
are serious in some towns Of the
northwest New buildings are wait
Ing for wiring before they can be oc-
cupted and the local dealers are I'M
able to secure the necessary materials.
Electric light companies are weeks be-
mind with their work and little at
tention is being paid to their orders.

company are suffering the inconyience

Interesting "reminiscences

Red River two years before and the
Hudson Bay company had store at
Grand Forks. During the summer the
trains run to Crookston and the
freight was transferred to boats and
brought to the Forks or else came
down from Winnipeg. In those days
of hardy pioneers, the trip to st. Paul
could be made in two ways in the sum-
mer time: one via Crookston and the
other via Glyndon. The stage to
CrOOkston took day for the journey:
from there the daring traveller boarded
q rickety train pulled by a wheeling
engine and rode to Glyndon over the
st. Paul and Pacific: there he changed
cars and went over the Northern Pa
ciic to Duluth and from there to st.
Paul. The trip took about five days
and as sleepers were an unknown
luxury and the coaches primitive and
uncomfortable, the Journey was tho
hardest kind of toll. The other route
was the same except that the stage
run direct to Glyndon from the Forks.
In the winter Glyndon. now tumbled
down hamlet, was Grand Forks near
est market and railway point. Now

TO BE EXTENDED.
The kenmare Branch OF the 500 to Go
On West.


From sources which are unaues-
tionably reliable. the Evening Times
is assured that the Thief River Falls
kenmare extension of the 500 road
will be. surveyed and probably bull.
on west during the coming season.
The service from Thief River Falls
to kenmare has been inaugurated
and both freight and passenger trains
have been running for some weeks
The road lies through a fertile por-
ton portion of the state and in all
probability the towns along the line
will be prosperous and will become
important in the business activities
of the state.
1t is the intention of the manage
ment to survey west from Kenmare
through Ward and Williams counties
into Montana during the coming sea-
son. What the objective point will
be is unknown but it is supposed that
1t will tap the fertile valley of the
Milk River country which is being
irrigated and the rich cattle AMI min
ing districts further west. 1t is even
limited that the extension will be a
new transcontinental line 1t is more
probable, however, that the line will
tap the country to the north of the
Great Northern and east of the Rock
les and then join the Canadian Pa
cific.
While it is maintained that the sur
vey will be made westward from
kenmare next summer, it is by no
means assured that construction will
follow Immediately. There may be
difficulties in the way of practical
roadbed in the direction desired
which may lead to the abandonment
of the project, but the survey will be
made and the time and extent of the
roadbed to be constructed will be de-
termined latter on.

THE CHURCHES
The Epome Of the Services Yesterday and Notes Of Future Do
ines for Church People.

Rev. ]. X. Burleson, of st. PauPs
Episcopal church, preached a very en-
tertaining and instructive sermon yes
treday morning. Ills theme was the
incarnation of the son of God and he
dwelt at length on the uplifting and
purifying effects of a contemplation
of the great basic truth of Christian
ity-in an epigram, 1t is the bringing
together of man and God. All true
religious systems or activities which
went before it consciously or uncon-
sciOusly pointed forward to 1t. All
truly religious results which have fol-
lowed after 1t, look back to or depend
upon 1t. To know being we must
be able to realize his condition and en-.
vironment. A God in Heaven does not
appeal to men because they cannot
know him but an incarnated Christ is
movable and appeals to men
Through the incarnation we know
God and the life Of God.
But the incarnation does more than
this for us. It il q great thing to
know that God lives but 1t is greater
thing to know that he wants us to
live. Christ furnished US perfect
example Of how q man should govern
his life. II TIA double revelation. It

THIRD LARGEST.

Grand Forks Up with the Leader. in
G. N. Passenger Receipts.
Grand Forks has the third largest
passenger traffic of any point on the
Great Northern system. The only
ticket Offices which do larger bust
ness than Grand Forks are st. Paul
and Seattle. The volume of business
here is greater than that of Minneapo-
lis, Spokane or Tacoma. Consider
ing the size of the above cities, the
showing made by Grand Forks clearly
indicates that it is the coming city
in the matter of passenger traffic on
the entire system. While the volume
of passenger. traffic is not obtainable,
the above statement was made by the
local Office of the Evening Times.
The freight. cars forwarded from
here for the past year have averaged
900 month, of 10000 for the year.
The cars received have averaged 600
a month or 1900 for the year. The
Total average of cars forwarded and
received per month aggregates 1900
or $4,000 for the year. The total
passenger business done at Grand
Forks by the Great Northern for the
past year has aggregated $4,000 "a
month. The month of of November
marked the high tide of their bust
ness when the company booked $43,-
900 worth of business. The business
totaled $4,000 or half million in
round numbers.

The Great Northern Will Make sever.
al In the Spring.
While the business OF the Great
Northern on the east side is not as
large rs the other local stations it
must considered that the Minnesota
station is handicapped by the fact that
the company makes an extra effort
to do most of the work on the west
side of the river, while the Northern
Pacific uses East Grand Forks as its
division terminal. But in the face of
this disadvantage there is monthly
average of something like 1875 cars
loaded out and 100 loads received
This office also does u passenger bus
mess of something like $4,000 a
month.
Along with the other improvements
that the company will make nexv

facilities for handling freight in East

length of 300 feet, and on the west OF

DETENTION HOSPITAL
Grand Forks Has Model and Costly
Institution.

What is commonly known as a pest
house has in the last few years become
a recognized necessity to every town.
Grand Forks, keeping pace with mod
ern customs, has built detention hos.
pital for contagious and infectious dis
eases at a cost of something like
$4,000. The building is located near
the base ball park and is, in the
language of Architect Edwards, too
good building to be used for any
such purposes. On the first floor are
the wards, three in number, All Of
the wards are fitted with sanitary
bath rooms and adjoining nurses
rooms. In the basement rooms are
fitted up for kitchens, living apart
ments and storage rooms. The hos
pital also has its own heating plant
and is equipped with all the requisites
of a first-class hospital.

There is no doubt but that an az

posed to doubt the truth OF the report
that the D. R. l.. & w. people have

That there have been some negotia-
tons during the past year is not de-
MED, but that there have been any
tangible results therefrom is not ad-
mitted. The portion of the D. r. l..

North Dakota In In the Lead for Rail.
road building Last Year.
The Poor Manuel which was re-
Gently issued. places North Dakota
first in the United States in the con-
struction of railroads for the year.
The total mileage built during the
season in the state aggregates more
than 525 miles, or one-tenth of the
total mileage constructed for the year
IN the entire country. The most i'm
portant piece of construction was that
of the 500 from Thief River Falls to
kenmare. which, together with two
feeders aggregates 1856 miles. The
Great Northern has built five branch
lines during season which add 1868
miles to their trackage in the state.
Following North Dakota comes Texas.
Louisiana, Georgia and Minnesota.
More mileage was built in the south
western part of the country than in
the northwestern but this is probably
due to the greater distances to be
traversed than in the greater pros
perity.
