GREAT NORTHERN
TO PARALLEL 500.
Proposed Line in Central North
Dakota Cuts Deeply Into
Rivals Territory.

Special to The Journal. TX
Hope, N. D., Oct. LIT is announced
unofficially that. the Great Northern is
to have another line across central
North Dakota. AS reported, the line
will start at Ayr, proceed in a wester-
ly direction thru the Willow Lake coun-.
try, cross the Cheyenne and strike the
Coopcrstown branch of the 500 some
where between Cooperstown and Rog-
ers. From that point it will parallel
the 500 main line to Minot.
proposed line will at no time be more
than two miles distant from the pres
ent 500 line, thus serving the same
country thru practically the whole dis
lance. W. j. Smith, who lives in the
Willow Lake neighborhood, reports that
there have been two surveys. thru his
farm recently, and reports that the sur
veyors are still at work, indicating that
the exact route has not yet been Sc
lected. 49,. - -@ 2A, ..-.-,.. = -. -,
= Retaliation Hinted At .5..,-
An explanation of this action Of the
Great Northern in practically parallel
ing the 500. is found in the fact that
within the last two years the 500 has
built across the northern part of the
state line which cuts every one Of the
Northern. This year the Great Nor
thern is building a spur which starts
from few miles west of Minot and
runs north until it nearly meets the
main line of the 500 and then parallels
that line, and one Of it's spurs to the
Canadian border, At no point, does it
get farther than four miles from the
500 and in places approaches as close
as half a mile. Even at the present
time there is lively fight on to see
which road will be able to locate the
terminal towns on these spurs, the rival
sites being only short distance apart
