CUNNINGHAM BOUND OYER
HEAD OF NORTH AMERICAN
LAND COMPANY MUST ANSWER
CHARGES OF FRAUD.

W. G.. Cunningham Of the North
American Land company has been held
under $1,000 bonds to appear before the
federal jury in October on the charge OF
using the United States mails with in
tent to- defraud. Cunningham was
given hearing yesterday and United
States Commissioner Howard s. Abbott
decided that the evidence was strong
enough TO hold him to the grand jury.
Cunningham advertised extensively
as a land agent, offering. to sell any
lands listed with him, and charged an
advance Of SIS for listing the property.
His mail became SO large that 1t at
tracted the attention Of the postal au-
thorities and his scheme was !nvestl-
gated. A short time ago Cunningham
consented to have all his mail stamped
- refused and returned to the sender
in. interference to having a fraud order
issued against him.
THE basis Of the complaint, made by
Inspector Nathan Noile, is that while
Cunningham made strenuous cam
paign to obtain listing fees he made lit.
tie or no effort to sell the listed proper.
ty. Fraud is also charged in connec'
ton with the sale Of a book called In
structions to Agents. The charge Is
that $40 was charged for this book
which is of slight value, and that the
buyer was made an agent at $40 month
on the condition that he sell quarter
| section of land each month, a provision
so impossible as to make the transac
| ton fraudulent. ;,
| Five clerks were necessary to handle
the incoming mail when the company
was running without hindrance, and 1T
receipts are estimated at $4,000 day

Butte, Mont, July 20.-Present indi-
cations are that when the Milwaukee
road is completed west thru Montana, it
will be tapped shortly afterwards by
Che Colorado & Southern from the south
at some point between Billings and the
Yellowstone park rs
The Colorado & Southern will have,
within few weeks. its own line to
within fifty miles of Galveston, and the
line intersecting the Milwaukee in Mon
tana will give it almost thru line
from the gulf to Puget sound, and make
perhaps the shortest route from the
cotton fields CT Texas to the orient.
Hill Roads Lose.
Within the last few months it has
been figured out that the extension of
the Burlington northward thru Wvo-
ming to a connection at Billings with
the new Great Northern lines being
built between Billings and Great Falls
was for the purpose of giving the Hill
roads the shortest haul on cotton. The
& Southern, which appears to be based
uron good authority. would indicate
that the Hill deal which contemplated
the use of the Colorado & Southern
southwark from Denver, had not been
successfully carried thru.
Locate New Line.
For some time there has been a party
of Colorado & Southern engineers work
ing northward from Grin Junction
Wyo.. the present northern terminus OF
the road The party is in charge OF
Engineer Worrall, and at present is in
Montana somewhere between the Rose
bud agency and the National park. II
Is understood that Engineer Worral
will be ready to make his report con
corning the preliminary survey during
the latter part, Of August or the early
part of September.
The line runs in a northwesterly Iii
rection from Grin Junction. and altht
its exact location is known only to the
engineers, it is said that a favorable
route has been located

ON JOURNAL PUBLICITY
Increase Of Architects Business Com
pels Office Expansion.

Glenn L. saxton, the architect, has
taken a large suite Of offices on the
second floor Of the new Security Bank
building and will soon be established
there with an amp]ifed staff Of help
ers. A little more than a year ago,
Mr.. Saxton was not particularly busy
in an architectural way. Then he made
an arrangement with T he } urna
whereby he supplied every week the
plans and description Of a moderate
priced house, which have been regular
features of the BODYBUILDING page
from the first. Thru the publicity he
gained as the author Of these plans he
has built up tremendous business,
which now demands much large offices,
more help and longer hours. Orders
have come to Mr.. Saxton from all ovor
the country. and while he has special
lied on residences of moderate price, he
is also being employed to design some
elaborate and costly structures. Aside
from the testimonial to his ability in.
dicated in the progress of the past
wear, Mr.. Saxton s success is signif
cant Of the rapidity with which Min
neapolis and the northwest are build
ing up and the intimate way in which
journal publicity reaches every part
Of it's territory.

Fergus Falls, Mimi, July 20:-The
double tracking of the Northern Pacific
road across the eastern part OF Otter
Tail county and the southern part OF
Clay is now in progress, and Fergus
the scene of operations give interest
ing descriptions of the. work that IS
being done.
The statement that the company is
constructing a double track conveys no
idea Of the magnitude Of the work. In
stead Of following the present line, the
company has acquired new right OF
way along considerable portion % Of
the route, and is cutting thru hills,
eliminating curves and making enor-
nous fills.
At Lake Park it cuts thru hill and
puts in an overhead bridge. In the
vicinity of Stockton, it make NIL
across a valley seven miles IN length.
A gigantic trestle has been built across
this valley, and sufficient dirt is being
dumped underneath to fill up TO me tn
new tracks will be as high as the tops
of the present water tanks.
Dozens Of steam shovels are at Work,
and spur tracks have been run into the
hills, sometimes as far as four or five
miles, in order to obtain dirt for filling,
! The double track will be built from
Wadena to Moorhead, a distance OF
ninety miles, and it is estimated that
it will cost 100000, and two years
will be required to complete 1t.
! Business, particularly freight, ove1
that section of the road, is enormous
and the helper engines used in pushing
the freight trains up the grades have
been costing as high as 100000 to $40,
900 a year. This expense will be done
away fifth. The company is going te
have a practically straight track a.
nearly free from grades as it is phys1
cally possible to make it. y
