building of the Great Northern large
part of the traffic down the Red river
valley TO the north was carried on by
river boats. Now this line opens up
the entire valley, both north and south
from Fargo. This valley is the richest
agricultural country in the world. 1t
also opens up the entire northern part
of North Dakota and the northern and
western part of Minnesota, making all
his territory tributary to Fargo's job
bling and manufacturing concerns. The
road offers to Fargo's shippers and
travellers as good service as is to be
found on any line. During the past
years 1t has done much to develop the
country following the policy of its far
sighted president, James ]. Hill. 1t
has done much for Fargo by conces-
sions in the freight and passenger de-
partments.
The Great Northern Lines.
With its approximately 1,72s miles
Of track in North Dakota, it reaches
most Of the important towns in the
northern and eastern part of the state.
This same may be said of it's lines in
Minnesota. One of the main lines
breaks away almost directly across. the
state from Grand Forks. From this
radiates branch lines fr I'm Berthold to
Crosby, from Granville to Sherwood,
from Towner to Maxbass, from Rugby
to Antler, from York to Dunseith, from
Churchs Ferry to st. John. from Devils
Lake to Hansboro. from Lakota to
Sarles, from Larimore to Hanna and
from Grand Forks to WalhalIa From
this last line also branches line from
Grafton to Neche

of greater benefit to the jobbing and
manufacturing concerns of the city
than is generally known. This is
shown by the freight receipts before
and since this change. While 1t has
only been four years since this agree
ment was reached the freight ship
ments out of Fargo have been increas-
ed fifteen times. 1t opened up to Far
go commercial concerns practically all
the northern part of the state.
The Passenger Trains.
With it's fourteen excellent passen-
ger trains in and out of Fargo every
day, the Great Northern gives to the
travelling public all that could be asked
in passenger transportation to the
points along it's line Fully equipped
trains to the Pacific coast and eastern
points pass through the city The
branch lines to Devils Lake through
Aneta and to Crookston offer advan-
tages to the people along these lines
to shop in Fargo. In this way it has
done much for the local retail mer-
chants.
The passenger trains which furnish
this excellent servic to Fargo are as
follows:

Oriental Limited. is one of the most
completely equipped passengers, MAX
