WILL PURCHASE
TRACKAGE
Fine Offers For Sites on Great
Northern Railroad BY Kent
Realty Company.

Within the last few weeks 1t has
been reported on authority that u
number of large manufacturing and
commercial institutions lookin s
for locations in North Dakota, have
been investigating conditions in Grand
Forks, with view to the establishing
of warehouses and manufacturing
plants at this point
Que of the first and most important
matters to be determined upon by such
concerns. is the opportunity offered for
securing suitable sites for buildings
where ample trackage facilities can
be secured at not too great an expense.
Upon examination it has been found
that there is available at reasonable
prices large amount of trackage
property in Grand Forks. lying i'm
mediately adjoining the main line of
the Great Northern right-oi-'way on
the north, and extending from the site
of the old base ball park westwards to
the city limits. There is available at
this time the length of five city blocks
or over 1900 feet. including streets.
This property is controlled by the
Kent Realty & Investment Corpora
ton, and is held at an extremely low
figure to such concerns as contemplate
immediate occupancy and improve
ment. The Kent Realty & Investment
Corporation have also reserved of their
large holdings, two solid city blocks
of "a lots each, immeditely adjoining
the trackage property above referred
to, to be used in connection with and
for such interests as demand large
ground space. One of these blocks to-
gether with the trackage property adj
joining, would make a total ground
area OF over 1850 square feet, and
as stated above, can be secured at a
very reasonable figure.
Parties interested in securing con-
venient trackage property, will do

POINTERS FROM MOORE
Denhoff Editor Explains All About Hymen for the
Benefit Of an Inquirinf CORRESPONDENT

Denhoff Voice: Bill WATSON, the To-
Quacious ex-editor of the McClusky
Gazette, is romantic cuss, and in a
recent issue accused Hymen of operat-
ing In the vicinity of that destined me-
tropolis. The article aroused the Gu
riosity of John Abel, chairman of the
Lincoln Precinct Culture club and
possible candidate for assessor, who
has written the Voice asking who Hy-
men was, what he did and If Bill gave
him square deal in the Gazette.
Hymen, in primeval days, John Abel,
was very important parsonage and
controlled the vote in five wards. He
was closely related to Bacchus; in
fact, he was his son. Bacchus was the
president of the Stone Age liquor
trust, and always made liberal dona-
tons to the campaign fund, therefore
his son Hymen stood we'll with the ad-
ministration. Among his other, ac-
complishments Hymen was authority
on weddings; in fact, when a cave man
got married the affair was not COM

these occasions Hymen would come
riding down the avenue on the pranc-

hand and a purple vest in the other.

Which Would Facilitate Bust.
ness Throughout Entire
Country.

1t is said that business will be great
1y facilitated throughout the country
by changes which eastern railroads
are planning to make in the uniform
bill of lading which the shippers have
been trying for several years to induce
them to issue.
II an agreement can be reached
with he shippetrs, the railroads will
throw sufficient safeguards around the
bill of lading so that the banks
throughout the country will accept it
without question. 1t is the purpose OF
the railroads. in fact, to make the bills
of lading the safest possible medium
of exchange, so that the shipper will
be in about the same position in a
business sense as he would if he had
a certified check for the value of his
shipment.
At present the banks loan money on
bills of lading, and millions of dollars
are in circulation backed by that Sc
curity, despite the fact that the rail-
roads have in the past tried to make
them non-negotiable. The banks COM
plain that the risk is too great and
that the safeguards are not sufficient.
Recently several members of the IL
linois Manufacturing association went
to New York and conferred with sew
eral of the eastern traffic men. The
result was decision to arrange con-
ference for Chicago for some time in
April, although the exact date has not
yet been set. When the details are
settled it is the purpose of the ship
pers and of the railroads then to pre-
sent the bill of lading to congress for
passage.
1t is expected there will be no diff
Guilty in securing its incorporation in
law that will be the legal regulation
regarding all interstate shipments.
Such plan will give it the backing OF
the government and will make the
banks eagerly seek this form of securi-
ty instead of fighting shy of it.
"The proposed uniform bill of lad
ing. when agreed on by both sides.
should become law" said a local
railroad man this morning THE mat
ter would have been settled some time
ago if some questions arising under
the Harter act had not come up. If
the plan now on foot carries, it will be
a tremendous help to very large
business, which is transacted through
the medium of bills OF lading. If it is
passed as an act OF congress, under
stand the Canadian parliament will
adopt the measure and thereby make
the practice uniform throughout this
country and Canada"

excited populace would iloller out, as
he came down the street, "Hymen, Hy-
mem" Hence the expression, "hy-
men," now much in vogue when they
shake dice hymen out for the refresh
ments. The etymology of Hymen is
doubtful, and the reason he wore his
purple vest in his hand and did not
drape it around his manly chest has
never been learned, but it is very like
ly that Hymen had his own private
reasons for doing 1t. Anyhow, it was
his own private business.
At the marriages Hymen attended
mythology does not state just how the
girls were dressed, but they probably
carried more clothes upon their lissom
figures than the acreage Chautauuua
girl of the present epoch, and then
again they NAV have been clad only in
a wreath of wild roses and a gold
tooth.
Some say that Hymen lived to a
good old age and died a natural death;
others say that he was killed by a plio-
sarus while out hunting those savage
beasts, and then others say that he
never died but is still on earth looking
after marriages. If the latter is true,
his principal stamping grounds are
probably over by McClusky.

Lateness of Season Not Bother
ing Him-Will Have a Good
Crop This Season.

Hon. H. T. Helgesen of Milton,
though coming from the heart of. the
snow belt where snow banks thrive
on every corner lot. is wearing the
long face which necessarily attends
a gloomy outlook either in the crop
or political line.
On the other hand Mr. Helgesen
thinks that North Dakota is to be
treated to one of her best crop sea-
sons. The spring is undoubtedly very
tardy but in conversation with an
Evening Times man Mr.. Helgesen
cited the case of the year of 1904.
when the yield of grain was very
gratifying. despite the fact that not
bushel was put into natures nurse
box until the second day of May That
was the year North Dakota was hit
hard by the rust but the lateness in
the season could not be held respon-
sible for this.
There is one good thing in con-
nection with the crop feature" said
the Milton man. (which 1 think points
toward very bountiful yield-that is
the absence of frost in the ground.
It's fact that no matter how early
you start the drill your grain will lie
dormant until the frost is out of the
ground. AS soon as the frost. which
generally hits about seven feet deep,
makes home run, then you can look
for your little green shoot. but not be-
fore.
This year there has been almost
no frost at all-perhaps an inch or
two in places-and on this account
the moment the snow leaves and the
grain is sowed. you can look for am
pie evidence of good crop. Of course
there is this much about it. there will
be no spring blowing this year and
all stubble fields left over from last
fall will undoubtedly have to be sowed
with oats. barley or flax. Wheat can
be sowed. however, in the ground
plowed last year."
Mr.. Helgesen states that there is
an unlimitable amount of snow in the
northern part of the state-more than
