Great Northern Doings

The Great Northern is doing things
in this city and if they keep On in the
present manner they will get all the
business away from the 500, and make
scores of friends in the bargain.
This road has always been known
for it's philanthropic tendencies, and
the latest noble thing that the com
pany did was to tear out half Of the
new bridge which the city just COM
pleted across Anne street at a cost
OF $625.
This bridge was considered positive
" dangerous to the company inter
ests, and might interrupt the fishes
as they went their silent way up
and down the stream. So last Sun
day morning, the conscientious offic-
ials ordered a force of men to tear
out half of the bridge, which they pro-
seeded to do with dispatch.
The residents Of the north side now
aave to cross the river over the via
duct and this makes them do a good
deal more walking. But here is where
the Great Northern is wise. This
road has always been friendly to the
snoe dealers, and they realize that
exercise is good for ones health, and
health is everything, even being more
important than money.
The Great Northern will probably
not contine themselves to tearing
down the city's bridges, but if the
concern sees a sidewalk or a house
that does not look right, the company
may set a force of men at work de-
stroying them, and if they do, of
course it will be done in the name Of
humanity.
We might suggest little plan.
Turn the city government over to this
concern. City elections are expen.
sive. The great Northern could run
the affairs of Minot very well, as they
have done in years past, and they
might do it in more economical man.
