There will be something doing in

the officials to announce that they

The new freight depot will be be-
tween the present building and De-
Ners avenue and will be much larger

expeditions manner and will offer en-
larged storage facilities.
The yards will be enlarged and
more fully equipped. The contem-
plated improvements will cost in the
neaghb0rhood of $4,000. The COM
pany already has good terminal ia
cahdes, an adequate round house, coal
docks and sand house. They have
their own fire department. waterworks
and sewer system and electric power
plant. They are a community unto
themselves and with the improve
ments to be made next summer will
have one of the best equipped divis-
ION headquarters in the northwest.
The locations for business purposes
demanding tracllage are at present
very few, but the extension of the
yards will make several more very
desirable sites and it is understood
Hhat among the new enterprise to take
advantage of these extended facili-
tea, will be two storage houses for
breweries. Negotiations are pending
TOR the purchase of the sites.
The volume of business on the

The Building of the kenmare Exten-
siOn IT the 500 Helps.

MON OF the 700 helpHs
The building of the 500 through
the northern tier OF counties in this
state last year has given extra rail-
road facilities to Il country that had
already proven its right to prosperity.
The extension of the Soo's main line
from Thief River to Kenmare was
thought to be pipe dream until act
ual work was begun, and even when
grading had commenced many of the
people in the country through which
1t was to pass were indifferent of
even hostile. The advantages were
not cOmprehended. Later when it be-
gan to dawn on these people that the
500 was actually doing things and
have two great railway systems to
have too great railway systems to
carry their products to market in
stead of one, and that the new road
would build new towns and bring
large capital unto the country, the
hostility changed to enthusiasm. The
towns that would be touched by the
new line became at once centers of
activity and enthusiasm. New towns
sprang into existence as If by magic.
Old towns touched by the line took
on new life. and the entire northern
portion of the state partook of the
general prosperity. The new towns
established by the 500 and those on
the several new branch lines of
the Great Northern are not boom
towns created for the day. The COM
panies selected the town sites largely
with reference to what the country
needed. The new towns were thus
made to add to the business condi-
tiOns of the country in general, rather
than to boom any particular sec
ton. The buildings were of that per-
manent and substantial character that
would indicate that the enterprises
were there to stay.
The remarkable thing is that while
there were two roads to handle the
grain products of the section trav-
ersed by the 500 extension, instead of
one as formerly. both roads were
fully taxed to care for the traffic.
The same thing will be true of the
future, for with the increased facili-
ties for shipping, the country will in
crease it's grain acreage and will fur
nish all the traffic necessary to sup
port all the roads built into the ter
ritory.

AN IMMENSE RESERVOIR.
Ia being Built at Churches Ferry by
Great Northern.

The Great Northern is building an
immense reservoir at Churchs Ferry
to supply pure water for the en-
gines on the main line. The reser-
voir will be six hundred feet long,
three hundred feet wide and thirteen
feet deep. Into this artificial lake a
large coulee will be turned, and when
once filled an outlet will. carry off
the surplus and thus prevent stagna-
ton. The water supply from the
coulee, the engineers estimate, will
maintain current through the res
ervoir that will prevent the accumu-
lation of the minerals that have
proved so injurious to the rolling
stock in the past

THESE WILL HELP.
The Great Northern Will Spend Con.
siderable Money. Here.

The Great Northern Railroad is
planning extensive improvements for
it's Grand Forks yards. Although the
plans of the work have not as yet
been forwarded to the local agent the
general outline of the work is known.
In all probability there will be sever
al improvements made in the passen-
ger depot and there is some talk Of
remodeling the interior.
The yards will be increased and re-
laid so as to give more room for
switching and other work. The rail-
road facilities and the track room will
be largely increased. 1t is the inten-
ton of the company to lay several
coach side tracks and to erect new
buildings for the accommodation Of
the train men Up to the present
time there have been very few ar
rangements made for the comfort of
the train men in Grand Forks and
the Great Northern, in accordance
with its general epolicy, intends to
erect several buildings for the conven-
fences of the passenger train boys.
Altogether the improvements to be
made will amount to large sum. but
at this early date it is not possible to
get anything like an exact estimate

a NEW LINE.
The Great Northern Contemplate
Building Soon.

The Great Northern Contemplated
Building Soon.
The new maps issued by the Great
Northern railway company show
new line extending from East Grand
Forks in a northerly direction, cross
ing the 500 between Alvardo andOslo
and then northward following the Red
River more closely to a point almost
due west from Stephen. There the
road ends on the map but it is limited
that from that point it may be contin-
ued in northeasterly direction to
Lake of the Woods. That there is
some thing in this new road scheme
is more than probable as the company
would not be likely to place q line on
the map unless it intended to construct
it at no distant day. Well let it come.
Next summer we may see some more
railroad building in the north country.
CANADIAN CONNECTION.
The Duluth, Rainy Lake & Winnipeg
Will Connect ut Fort Francis.
The engineers who are relocating
the route of the proposed Hudson
Bay railroad between The Pass, on
the North Saskatchewan river, and
Churchill, will remain in the field ali
winter. They will have to cut line
through the forest for 80 miles, the
country being timbered the entire
distance.
The Duluth, Rainy Lake & Winni-
peg railway will be completed in time
to share in the grain carrying trade
next fall. The line will connect with
the Canadian Northern at Fort
Francis, and each company will have
running rights over the lines of the
other. Thus, the D. r. l.. & w. will
reach Winnipeg, and the C. N. will
gain an alternative route to- the head
of navigation by the construction of
between SO and 60 miles of road.
James Robinson, division freight
agent of the Great Northern, left Sat
urday for st. Paul, where he will
spend New Years. Business has been
very heavy during the fall months in
Mr.. Robinson's department and he
will take few days well-earned va
cation.
