500 SHIPS into FARGO
Eastern Freight Can Be Brought Di-
rect to This City in 500
Cars

Goods and merchandise of all kinds
can now be shipped direct from New
York to Fargo over the 500 line BY
traffic agreement which has recently
been made with the c., M. e. st. p.
the 500 is enabled to compete with the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
in shipments between Fargo and vi
cinity and Atlantic coast points.
Shipments can be made from New
York via Buffalo and the lakes to
Gladstone Mich, the 500 port Of en-
try on the great lakes From there
the goods can be transported over the
500 system to Paramount, N. d., thence
over the Milwaukee to Fargo.
The 500 has recently issued lake
and rail tariff schedule from eastern
points to Fargo which is now effective
The arrangement will doubtless prove
a great convenience to local shippers,
who may prefer to send and receive
goods over the 500, and it gives Fargo
| one more eastern outlet.
So far as known at the present time
i this is the extent of the agreement
between the 500 and Milwaukee For
| some time past there has been rumor
afloat that the two roads had made
some arrangement by which the 500
would be able to get into Fargo
| through the use of the Milwaukee
| tracks. 1t was suggested that as the
Milwaukee runs on an average only
one freight and one passenger train
each way a day from Fargo, there
would be ample opportunity for the
| 500 to establish service which
might include a passenger as well as
freight service. Up to date, however
the traffic arrangement seems to be
the only foundation for this rumor
though it may be step which will
lead to still closer relations between
the two roads.
In discussing the situation a loca
railroad official pointed out that the
500 could scarcely afford to extend
their train service any further at the
present time on account of insufficient
equipment.
"The Soo," said he, has nearly
doubled it's trackage in the past foul
years. but in equipment it has no
kept pace with this growth and tn,
result is they are in difficulty at thu
present time, not having sufficient roll
ing stock to supply the demands OF
their extensive system"
Although the Milwaukee has not lai'
much new track for several years, thu
shops of the road at West Milwaukee

cars and three engines daily Thes
merely suffice to supply the ordinar.
demands of traffic, taking the place o
the equipment which wears OUT or |
smashed up and providing additions
equipment where there is a deman
made for it by the ordinary lncreas
of business. From these figures som
idea may be gained of the anloQnt Q
new rolling stock needed by al roa
which is constantly building many ex

is understood that the drainage board
has no especial rights in the county
building as the board is not strictly
county institution. but owing to the
fact that there is large vacant room
in the new building, arrangements
were made with the county commits
sioners whereby the drainage board
may use this room until such time as
it will be in demand by the county.
Mr.. Adler thinks the board will be
settled in the new quarters so as to
resume business Monday and they
viii be appreciated as the board is
very busy these days and feels the
need of more room.

Despite the bad weather last night
a large audience could not be kept
away from the local theatre. 1t was
the opening night of the regular sea-
son and The Maid and the Mummy
was the attraction. The play was one
of the best comedy sketches that has
been here in months. The musical fea-
lures were not of as high class, neither
the principals nor the chorus showing
much ability in that respect. Earle
Dewey, as Stubs, scored a great sue
cess, and his song and dance with the
Polly girls was the hit of the even

DAM BEING REBUILT
Work Will Likely Be Completed
This Week.

The present week will witness the
completion of the rebuilding of the
'Whitmore dam" across Skunk river
at the waterworks pumping station
four miles north of the city. Practic-
ally a new dam has been built by the
water company, so extensive were the
improvements and the repairs that
hau of necessity to be made. The
dam was badly broken in one place
and this section was entirely recon-
structed. The work has required
about four weeks and may take the
greater part of the present weeK. The
new work was made largely of native
timber, some large logs being secur-
ed of 2. H. Barr. Aside, several car
loads Of other timber and material
entered into the construction. Ton
upon ton of rock was used In the re-
pairing of the fore bay" work. This
was quarried at the river side on the
John Whitmore place and the work
of getting the stone out is still in
progress.
The new boiler to be added to the
steam capacity of the station has been
ordered of the Murray Iron Works OF
Burlington and will be delivered some
time after the first of November.
when 1t will be Immediately installed.

STORM DOES DAMAGE.
Grand Stand at River Wrecked and
Corn Leveled in Field.

The severe wind storm of Monday
afternoon destroyed the base ball
park grand stand at the Riverside
park, practically leveling the struc.
ture. The management held tornado
Insurance on the building and their
loss will be small on the structure. 1t
is understood that temporary repairs
will be made to the stand for the &C
commodation of the patronage that is
expected for the last game Sunday.
Hail and wind did great damage, and
near Lacey window, panes on the west
and north Of buildings were smashed.
The M.S.Downey home near Lacey had
eighteen large glass broken, but
Jared no worse than many other
homes of the vicinity. Corn was
laid fat, peach and apple trees were
stripped Of fruit, chimneys were blown
down, hay ricks blown away, outbuild-
ings leveled and trees snapped of at
their roots. The wind acquired the
velocity of hurricane and theNlight,
angry wind clouds seemed fairly to
travel on the surface of the ground.
A severe accident occurred at Bea-
con, the result of the storm. A travel
ing man was being driven to Buxton.
The team became unmanageable as
the wind came upon them, and ran
away, They fell at the @. crossing and
the driver jumped. The travelling
man attempted also 10 leave the rig
at the same time, but the team made
a Iunge and he was thrown backward
from the rig, alighting upon his head
and striking the rail, cut great cash
in the scalp. 1t is a wonder that the
skull was not crushed. The man was
brought to this city for treatment and
was quite bad during the night. He
departed for his home today.

IOWA CROP BULLETIN
CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE AS NOTED BY THE
WEATHER BUREAU.

Des Moines, Sept. 18.-High temper.
atures prevailed the first three and
the last two days of the week, and
the average was above the normal for
the middle of September. At the cen.
trail station the average daily excess
of temperature was nearly 8 degrees.
Light showers were reported in all
districts on the 18th and 18th, and
very copious showers were quite gen.
eral throughout the state on the 18th
and 10th. The rains were timely and
beneficial to pastures, especially in
the southern half of the state. Re
ports indicate that corn cutting Is in
progress in all districts, and that more
than the usual percentage of the val
liable fodder will be saved in shock
or silo. AS to the stage of ripeness,
the conditions are quite variable, but
it is evident that over 80 per cent OF
the crop is beyond danger of material
injury by frost, and the full crop is
likely to be practically safe before the
close of September. Damage by
windstorms has been less than usual
The soil is generally in excellent con.
dition for blowing. Some progress
is reported in seeding fall wheat and
rye, and the acreage of wheat is likely
to be increased in the western dis.
tricts, where the yield has been ex.
cellent this year. AS a whole, this
has been an exceptionally favorable
crop season. ..
