GROWTH BEYOND APPRECIATION

Frequently those of us who are IL
the middle of things do not have the
clearest appreciation of what is go
ing on about us. This is especially
'appropos of the rapid growth and
development of the western part OF
this state, and the country tributary
to Bismarck. Those who come in
from other places and note the pro-
gress that is being made are sur
prised at the changes that have come
In the past five or six years. Those
Of us who have been here and seen
it all have not been so much i'm
pressed because the growth has been
gradual, and the appreciation of it
has come to us in the same way.
The letters of, c. B. Cheney to the
Minneapolis Journal call especial at
tention to the growth and develop
ment Of this section about Bismarck.
Mr.. Cheney is trained newspaper
observer and he writes intelligently
and clearly of what he sees. He is
plainly impressed with the influx of
new population, the building of new
railroads, the opening Of new terri
tory, the building of new towns and
the other things that mark healthy
growth There is no boom in pro-
gress in the western part of this
state. But the land is being tanned
and broken and made to yield, rail-
roads are being built to open up new
territory and transport the crops
from territory that is already set
tied, market places are being erected
and maintained in the new towns,
and the whole country has taken on
an air of abiding growth and pros
perity.
Within the next few years it is
safe to say the growth Of this Sec
ton will be still further marked. The
new railroads that are being built
will result in thousands of new acres
being broken, many new towns being
established and more crops for mar
ket to add to the wealth of the state.
Even with the great growth that has
come in the past few years, the pop
ulation of this great section of the |
state is sparse. There are ample op-
portunities, but population is needed |
to develop them.
So 1t is well that a campaign for |
be continued, and that |
observers are induced to visit this |
fertile territory, who may see at !
hrst hand what is going on and. write
of 1t for the information of other
people, who may find in North Dako-
ia an opportunity to achieve wealth,
comfort and happiness.

THE MIDLAND RAILROAD

Bathgate Pink Paper: Vast week
the editor Of this paper was. at Edge.
ley and made inquiries regarding the
Midland railway. There Is much
talk in that place regarding it and
the statement is freely made that the
contract for grading the entire line
to Pembina has been let. AS yet
there has been no earth moved and
there are no ties or other material
for construction work, nor are there
any grading tools on the ground.
Everything regarding this proposed
railway has been surrounded by mys-
terry and no one seems to-. know
whether it is the work Of promoters,
some invading line into the territory
of the Northern Pacific, Great North
ern and 500, or what is intended. The
line ii completed could not at pres
ent serve the purpose for which it is
claimed it Is to be constructed, viz: a
north and south line to the Gulf for
the lack of connections, and for some
time could only be operated success
fully in connection with some eastern
connection with the lakes and the
twin cities. If work IS taken up
shortly some idea of the connections
may be gained by the road bringing
in the supplies. If it proves to be the
Milwaukee it will be pretty fair evil
dence that that road is interested in
it and will build north and west
from Fargo to connect with it and
give a more direct route to market
than the present line by the way OF
The Indications seem to
point to a promotion scheme with the
promoters looking for a purchaser.
