RAILROAD RUMOR
Ihe 500 May Build From Mime
aDOIiS to Mile Laos to Connect
With BrOOten Branch L

The latest thing in railroad rllmOrs
is that the 500 is to build from Min
neapolis to Lake Superior. According
to this story, which is given an air.
ing in the Minneapolis Journal, the
company is to build from Minneapolis
northward to Onamia, a town on the
Brooten branch-a short distance south
of Mile Lac lake. Going into details
the Journal says:
Along with the other grain-carrying
lines traversing North Dakota, the
500 found last year that the great
factor in the monumental congestion
was the concentration of traffic on the
home division. In other words all
the traffic picked up by the contribut-
ing branch ines, converged on the
last division leading to Minneapolis
or to Duluth and the result was
characterized by James J. Hill in
the simiIe of the funnel which can
transmit no more than the capacity
of it's neck. The 500 had last year
completed its Kenmare line calculat-
ed to make good clean up in North
Dakota, but thru the systems ina
bility to carry grain right thru to
the lakes and the indispOsitiOn of
other lines to carry the business
away, the congestion arose. To over
come this the cutoff was projected
from Brooten across to Duluth This
cutoff is now to be made more Con-
vertible by the additional line from
Minneapolis. East-bound business Cal
be diverted to Minneapolis over the
new north and south line at the juno
tion near Mile Lacs or it can be car
riad on directly to Duluth.
For several years also the 500 has
been working quietly in Wisconsin
extending it's Frederick line little
every season northward toward Du-
luth and Superior. A glance at the
map shows that the lakes are inevi-
tably the objective, tho officials OF
the line are not communicative
When this Wisconsin extension
reaches the head of the lakes, the
500 will be IN position to compete
with the strongest systems now en-
trenched there.
Surveying crews are now working
al a point half way between Prince
ton and Cambridge, who admit they
are in the employ of the 500 line
Onamia is a division point on the
BroOten-Duluth line and only eighty
miles due north of Minneapolis. With
another eighty miles completed the
500 will have line short enough
between the head of the lakes and
Minneapolis to compete favorably
with the three existing lines"

Karl Mathie, of st. Cloud, president

meeting of that body held in Sauk

is limited to Stearns, Benton and
Sherburn counties, and as the two
preceding meetings have been held in
st. Cloud, Mr.. Matie's is to have it

new ELECTRIC LINE
Project 10 Run Cars From The
Twin Cities Across the COnti-
!gcHt to Seattle

Within the past few weeks another
big electric line has been projected
known as the st. Paul, Minneapolis
& Seattle Electric Road Railway.
A giittering prospectus has been
sent out to all towns on the line of
the proposed read. According TO the
paper issued, stock is placed at $780,
90 per share the money to be raised
by popular subscription. A good
many Sauk Centre business men have
received this prospectus. Whether
the proposed line, if built, will pass
through this city or not, is not known
Fargo is an objective point and Sauk
Centre is ON a direct line between
that place and Minneapolis. The
Elk River Star-News prints the fol-
lowing articles relative to the pro-
ject:
The usual spring rumors of an
electric line up through this section
are being discussed. This time it
is the st. Paul, Minneapolis & Seattle
Electric Railroad company that are
to do the business, and it looks as
though there was something more
than wind back of the project VIM.
c. Weber, president Of the construc-
ton company, was up here during the
week to look over the Mississippi
river dam site at Otsego with view
of leasing the power. and while here
outlined the plans of the company at
a meeting of the business men of the
village.
"The original proposition was to
build a line via Anoka north of Elk
River to Crookston and on to Seattle,
but the prospects of getting power
at the dam ed them to change the
plan and come to Elk River, and
from here via Meadowvale through
Orrock and Santiago to the Mis-
sissippi river near Crow River The
represent tative OF the company talk
ed as though there was no doubt
about the line being put through, and
the only thing needed from our peo-
pie was cooperation in securing the
right of way through the county, a
concession the temper of the meeting
indicated would be enthusiastically at
tended to-
"The plans of the company include
the operation of the road to Elk
River this year. 1t will do a freight
as well as passenger business and
oren up a country in Sherburne coun-
ty that now has no railroad facilities
The company is operating several elec
trio lines throughout the country, the
biggest one being the air line from
Chicago to New York, and the fl
nancial part of the new enterprise is
causing them no anxiety whatever.

Turnip Taste In Butter

The following Is from German az
:icultural publication:
The milk from cows fed ON turnips
has a peculiar odor and taste. Ap-
parently some volatile product from
the turnips gets into the body fluids
of the COW and thus affects the milk.
This fault may be corrected by warm
ing or aerating the milk. But, besides
this, certain organisms, as coli bac-
terra, Actinomyces odorifer, Penicil-
lium brevicaule and lactic acid bac-
terra, which are found in the faces Of
cows fed on beets or turnips, also
produce the turnip favor and aroma
in butter made from milk or cream in
which they are present. The turnip
taste OF butter may be due to both of
these causes together. Butter may
have the turnip favor and aroma,
however, even when no turnips are
fed, as coll bacteria causing the taste
are found also on oats, barley, corn,
rape and other feeding stuffs. Pas
teurizing the milk, with subsequent
aeration. Is recommended as a means
Of preventing the development Of the
turniD favor In butter.

3ible for an individual to capture
prizes enough offered for the same

that for a prize for a masquerade ball
(OutdoorS) costume?
Shooter parades have grown until
they now average from five to six
miles in length, requiring from five to
six hours to pass given point Some
of the costumes are so eXtravagantly
made that it is no uncommon sight
for one of the many personages, rep

d gown of such dimensions, and 1t
required forty page boys to carry the
train clear of the street. Even with
all that help the "king" was wearied
by the burden to such an extent that
he tainted, remaining unconscious for
an hour. Twenty men were employed
in completing that gown, which cost
$1,000, and the wearer won over $4,000
in prizes.
