tainly doing wonders for the coloni-
zation Of their tract. By the first Of
next month, it is estimated that over
100 families will have been furnished
new homes at this point enough to
form good town, if they were not
SO widely segregated. Montana land
this year promises to be at a greater
premium than ever before.
In connection with the above, It
might be noted that these new, pro-
gressive settlers hauled out 10 loads
of lumber on Saturday last from
the yards of the Goodridge-Call
Lumber company, and Is loads on
Monday. This we'll known firm has
also erected a commodious shed for
convenience in storing the effects
Of the incoming settlers, until they
can be moved out certainly a move
in the right direction and one that
will be appreciated by all newcom-
ers.

Survey Causes Excitement

Some excitement has been created
recently in the vicinity Of Carlyle by
two crews of surveyors working that
territory, one near Preston and the
other at the Davis ranch on the Bea-
yer about twenty-five miles south
west of Beach. One is supposed to
be crew for the Northern Pacific
company setting grade stakes on the
MafIeassaa Niles City cut. while it
is said the other is employed by the
500 road with the purpose of rum
ming a line through that territory
and laying out townsite on what
is now the Smith ranch. The fact
that the president of the 500 road
is one Of the heavy stockholders in
the Smith ranch may have furnished
the leaven from which this PROPOSE
ton has grown. Beach Advance.

A letter to w. B. Foster this week
Is without doubt a sure sign of early
actiyitv in Northern Pacific railroad
building, particularly as regards the
construction of the branch line down
the Yellowstone valley. In short, the
letter was from Thomas Cooper,
land commissioner for the Northern
Pacific, who requested Mr.. Foster to
assist Right Of way Agent Currie in
any way possible in the purchase of
right-of-way along the Yellowstone
river as far as Sidney So there is
now no reasonable doubt that the new
line is a matter of the not distant fu-
ture.
Mr.. Foster has been very active in
the disposal of railroad lands, SO he
was naturally turned to as the person
age most likely to be Of greatest as
sistance in securing right-of-way.
There is no doubt that he will be able
to give ample time and effort to the
proposition, his wide acquaintance
making him peculiarly fitted to assist
in every way possible.

MERCANTILE STORE SOLD
Atty E.F. Fisher is Sole Owner,
with VIM. O. Schuett as Mgr.

A deal was closed on Tuesday of
this week, by W. E. Stockstill,
through which Atty. E. F. Fisher
becomes the owner of the Wibaux
Mercantile Company's entire stock
Of dry goods, furnishings, machin-
cry and vehicles. The deal was
brought about by the latter whom.
we understand, traded the Brophy
tract OF land which he recently pur-
chased. for the store.
In reply TO an inquiry regarding
the sale Mr.. Fisher stated that at
this time he was unable to give out
any definite information regarding
his plans Of the future, further,
than to assure us that the excellent
business Of the Wibaux Mercantile
Co. would be carried on as usual
The stock of goods is now being
invoiced and as soon as this work is
completed. Mr.. Fisher expects to
put on big sale for a few weeks,
to clean up some Of the remnants in
the different lines, and later a new
and complete line of ladies' and
gents furnishings would be put in.
Mr.. Stockstill, the former owner
and proprietor Of the store, in COM
pany with Mr.. Schuett. who is also
interested in the Brophy land, ex-
poets to live On and improve the
land during the coming season.
la this transaction it is estimated
that the total stock of dry goods
will invoice about $4,000, while the
tract OF land 800 acres in all WAS
valued at $18 per acre, leaving
a balance of Sd, 400 as cash trans
action
The Brophy land is considered
among the best tracts in Dawson
county, and, we believe, the time is
not far hence when its appraised

It is understood that the mayor
will appoint Attorney Derwood

LOOKING FOR

Farlv Construction of Mandan-G -Glendiye Line Now
Seems To Be an Assured Fact.
W Foster Receives Communication from Land Commissioner
Cooper That Is of Very Vital Interest All.

Right -of-way Agent Currie will be
here in short time to begin active
work in his department. Just at this
time it is impossible to say when ae-
tive work will begin as the purchase
of the necessary land will consume
some little time; but that finished, it
will probably be but matter of few
months until glimmering lines of steel
point the way to the heart of the
Lower Valley and the mighty Lower
Yellowstone Irrigation project-fore-
runners Of commerce that will rival
any in the world for the same extent
of territory.
The Monitor has hitherto refrained
from any extended comment on future
railroad activities as we desired to
give our readers facts rather than
jumble of fiction. There is now no
reason for anyone holding back from
contemplated business propositions on
account Of doubt-the way is now
pointed to a new era which will sur
pass the fondest dreams of the opti-
mists of this growing section.

the new ranch. He has also received
half hundred proposals of mar

There were never such bright pros
poets in Christian county for the
election Of a Democratic ticket as
are found at this time, sixty days
from the election. The Democrats
have nominated strong county
ticket and the party Is better
organized than for mary years
The Republicans on the other hand
are heavily handicapped in the con-
test both as to issues and candidates,
and the drift is undoubtedly towards
the Democracy. The disaffection
among Republicans is widespread
and extends to all parts of the cOun-
ty and Democratic candidates are
receiving voluntary assurances of
Republican support whether they go.
The campaign will be formally open
ed next week and short and ag-
gressive canvass will be waged until
the election and unless all signs fail
an old time Democratic victory may
be looked for Nov. 2.
