PARALLEL 500
Great Northern to Build to
Crosby by Way of Berthold
and Bowbells.

Information Of reliable nature re-
ceived in this city this morning is to
the effect that the Great Northern will
in short time begin the construction
of branch line out of Berthold, N. D.,
northwest, paralleling the 500 as far
as Bowbells and angling straight west
from that point to Crosby, new town

The proposed branch will tap some
of the best country in the counties
of Ward and Williams. Such line is
badly needed.

AMERICAN TRADE WITHAFRICA
Amounted Last Year to $sO,OOO,OOO, Inn
portatiOns Being $11,s3s,0OO.

Washington, May 27.-Trade of the
United States with Africa in the fiscal
year 1905, according to a bulletin'o of the
department of commerce and labor
aggregated about $30,00O000, of which
$11, 933, 900 were importations and the re-
mainder expectations. The trade with
Africa amounted to $51,00O,OO0 in 1903;
$30500, 600 in 1870; $14,000,000 in 1895, and
$10,000,000 in 1890. The recrease in our
exports to Africa, the bulletin says, is
but a reflection of it's reduction in its
general imports since 1908. lmporta-
tions into the Cape of Good Hope, the
chief commercial section, have decreas-
ed from S164,O00, 900 in 1908 to $94,000,,
600 in 1905. Meanwhile Egypt's imports
advanced from $SS,O00,0OO in 1903 to
$106, 100000 in 1905, but as our trade
with that country consists almost ex-
clusively of imports, the growth of $24,-
100000 in Egypt's purchases from for
eign countries did not affect the volume
Of our expectations to that market.
African exports, including raw gold,
however, shows a growth, having in
creased from $10,000O0O in 1903 to s143,-
$4,000 in 1905, and those of Egypt about
$4,000, 600 in the same period.
The Importance Of Egypt in our inn
port trade, the bulletin says, rests
largely in it's value as source of a
certain grade Of fine long staple cotton
not produced in the United States, Oh
the total irnportations from Egypt vail
ued at $S,5S0,051 in 1905, votton is cred
tied with $8193,0S1
Total imports into all Africa in 1904
we're, as nearly as can be ascertained
in round terms $465, 1000, 900 and the ex-
ports $39e, 100000 exclusively Of gold.
