Is That brethren find it difficult to
dwell together in unity is proven by
the fact that suit has just been
brought in the supreme court to re
strain the state auditor from paying
the annual appropriation Of $4,000
for state fair purposes to the directors
of the state fair association at Grand
Forks and instead pay the sum to the
Fargo fair people. The basis of the
action is said to be the failure of the
officials of the Grand Forks fair asso-
citation to comply with the provisions
of the law creating two state fairs,
the law providing that in the event
of the failure of either association to
comply with its provisions. the other
association should be the beneficiary
Of the bill, and obtain permanent
state fair. It seems difficult to be
lieye, knowing the rivalry that has
existed between the two cities, that
either association would knowingly
omit to do anything that might i'm
peril its appropriation. We shall
however, be better informed as to thu
omissions complained Of when th,
4 bill Of particulars is presented. Il
the meantime it is to be feared tina
the strained relations between the tw,
II cities will be further strained a1mos
to the breaking point. Under the pre-

A recent issue of the Minneapolis
Tribune sets forth a page OF fact and
comment with regard to North Dakota
and it's splendid possibilities for the
immigrant. Among other comments
is that of Ralph W. Wheelock, form
erly resident Of the territory, whose
familiarity with North Dakota and its
resources enables him to speak under
standingly. Mr.. WReelock says:
IAN acquaintance of Is years, al
most to day, with the state OF North
Dakota or that part of the territory
brought into the Union in February.
1889 entities me to speak by the card
as to the energetic character of its
citizenship, the progressive spirit of
its institutions, and the extent and va
riety of its resources. No passing ex-
aggeration of weather conditions, no
temporary abridgement of it's railroad
facilities, no purely local instances of
distress, can prejudice the common.
wealth in the eyes of the unbiased out
slider, looking for a location. After
passing through the vicissitudes Of a
new country, the state Of North Dako-
ia can point to an almost unbroken
record of ten years of substantial
growth in population, of remarkable
crop results, and Of extensive railraod
enterprises that would not have been
projected and carried to conclusion
had there ever been any question as
to the future. In compiling the show
ing as to the exact conditions that
prevailed during January and Febru-
airy last, and in again calling attention
to the great promise and unsurpassed
resources of the state, the Tribune is
only actuated by desire to anticipate
the hostile attacks of localities that
might seek to profit by exaggeration
and Misrepresentation, and has nc
notion to present brief for dis
credited state. North Dakota has
ever been all right, and no more sc
than now, when the extremities Of the
early winter turn out to have beer

/ Electricity will be utilized by the
Great Northern Railway company in
stead of steam as motive power on at
least one division of it's transcontinen-
tai line in North Dakota, as well as in
hauling its trains through the famous
Cascade tunnel in the Rocky noun
tains. The particular stretch of road
where it has now been decided to
use electricity is between Minot and
Williston, where thu. roads supply Of
water is so full of mineral salts that
an engine must be taken into the
roundhouse after every run to have its
boilers cleaned
Plans for the substitution of cleo
tricity on this stretch of road in North
Dakota have been under consideration
for some time and the company prac
tically has decided upon the change.
Cary T. Hutchinson, an expert cleo
trical engineer from the east, and
several others from the Twin Cities
have been called in consultation with
the superintendent of motive power
for the railroad company, and from
their figures it has been determined
that the particular section of the road
under consid eration, which is 121
miles long, could be operated by
electricity at great saving as COM
pared with present expense.
The road between Minot and Willis
ton has been giving the company a
great deal of trouble and at times
the difficulties experienced have been
sufficient to interfere materially with
the operation of trains. After every
run it has been necessary to put an
engine into the roundhouse for an
overhauling of several hours duration
and this loss of time made it neces-
sary to use more engines on that por-
ton of the road than any other.
| It is estimated that with the
adoption of electric power six or eight
locomotives will be sufficient for bet
ter operation of this part Of the road,
and the cost will be greatly cut down.
