HoopIe Want. Railroad.

The Hoople Commercial Club called a
mass meeting for the purpose of form
ing plans to present to the Midland
Continental Railroad Company to build
their road through Hoople to Hamilton
from Park River. As the road is not
following the original survey, and being
advised that Hoople has good chance
to secure the road, hence the call. The
meeting was attended by over $50 farm.
ers from all sides of Hoople, and was a
very enthusiastic and interesting one.
Most all present attached their sigma
ture to papers signifying their willing
ness to cooperate and do everything
reasonable to secure the road. and as
Hoople is we'll situated in line with
Park River and Hamilton, and lies in
one of the richest farming districts in
North Dakota and reasonable distance
from other neighboring towns, there is
good reason to believe that the Midland
Continental will come this way, and
not pass two miles west of us, if the
full details and advantages are placed at
the disposal of the officials of the road,
which will be done.-Hoople correspond
ent to the Grand Forks Herald.

Gen. Stoessel, the Russian general
who defended and at last surrendered
Port Arthur, was tried by court martial
and last week sentenced to DEATH for
giving up the fortress. OF course every
body knows that he did all that was
possible for man to do before the sur.
render and if there was any fault it was
with the government-bu the Russians

erals and admirals to las the Chinese

is that no Russian army or feet could
possibly be licked in fair fight. The
sentence of death as given to Stoessel
has already been committed to ten years
imprisonment and he will probably re-
ceive a full pardon.
