Also a line running from the
junction Of the Missouri and the

line running from. sosnespoint on
the Missouri River between the
mouth Of the Cannon Ball river
and the south line Of the state, ac-
crossed the Standing Rock Indian
reservation to the Cannon Ball
river. e
The estimated length of the road
to be constructed is 665 miles and
is intended to run through or into
the counties Of Morton, Hettinger,
Stark, Billings, Bowman, Adams,
Oliver, Mercer, Dunn and McKen-
zie. In time it may be extended to
use part of this line running
through the south end counties as
the main line Of the Northern Pa
cific as it would give them a short
er main line. In that case it would
leave Dickinson and some of the
towns neighboring that city on a
branch, proposition Dickinson
people have agitated over somewhat
for some months past.

'"' TO Be MOVED.
Big Task CoAtronts Northern Pacific
In Western North Dakota,
Says Supt. Johnson
500, 200 BUSHELS TO
Be SHIPPED FROM BEACH

superintendent b. %. johnson
states that the Northern Pacific is
laying plans to move no less than
$500, 600 bushels Of grain in the
territory from Mandan, N. D.. to
the Montana North Dakota state
line. .'This is a remarkable record
for a country that, up to few
years ago, was deemed of no value
except as a public range. It we'll
illustrates how rapidly this general
section is changing to an agricul-
tural country.
"The vicinity of Beach will con-
tribute in a manner to this years
grain crop in western North Da-
kota. There are now four elevators
at that point, and buyers estimate
that fully 100000 bushels of grain
will be shipped from Beach this
fall. If the shipments total 45O, 600
bushels it will be a remarkable
record.
''The Northern Pacific is enjoying
prosperous times. In spite of un-
favorable conditions that reduce
the freight tarf1ic to low level, it
has almost regained its status Of a
year ago and bids fair to equal or
surpass the record Of last year. In
fact, the traffic for August, 1903,
was only II per cent less than for
the same month in 1907"

He also owns land near Souix

is selling at a higher figure, it can
not be compared with our land
