From what can be learned from reports
from various portions of the state there
will be increased activity in railroad build
ing in this state during the coming year
and several hundred miles of new railroad
may be constructed One Of the latest re-
ports is that the proposed Northern Pacific
line from Edgelev west to the Missouri
river will be built next season. This will
open up lot of new territory in the south
ern part of North Dkota.

Senator McCumber is very much put out
at some of the newspapers which he says
have been villifying him, and telling things
about him which are utterly false. The
Senator says he knows that the popular be-
lief is that everything is fair in war and, in
politics, but is of the opinion that the man
who will knowingly tell an untruth about
another in a newspaper article, will reach
his hands into your pockets, if given an op-
portunity and take your money, and do
other things to you. ~

Be it resolved That we, the members OF

Kenmare and Bowbells are trying to get
together on the county division question,
and believe that they have the lines arrang-
ed so that they will be satisfactory to most
of the voters concerned in the northern part
of the county, The lines proposed run be-
tween Carbonate and Greenbush town.
Ships thence north to Tolley and east to
Hamlet, and north to the Canadian line.
This would give the new county ~ town
ships, and leave Ward county quite re-
spectacle size. Mohall would still be in
Ward county according to these lines. The
supreme court has not yet rendered its de-
csion on the Bowbells-Kenmare county
division case, but there is absolutely no
question but that the lines will remain as
they are at present. .."-, ~

Listen to the words of James J. Hill.
His statements are conversatlve and he sell
dom makes a prediction which does not
come true.
The good land in this state, every acre
of it. can produce at low estimate !. from
$12oo to $500 per acre. It can be made
to produce $4,000 per acre If it produces
S12oo per acre, that is 10 per cent on a
Size. 90 an acre farm. You think that if
some one would come and offer you 5000
or $500 or $4,000 an acre you would
stick him. Now, if you can't buy an equal
number Of acres for less money, don't sell
YOUR land. Hold on to it. The time will
come when it will be worth $4,000 an
acre if you take care Of it, and there is no
reason why it should not be worth $4,000.

England and Airships

There is something a trifie laughable
| in the seriousness with which some
readers are taking M. Bleriot's passage
OF Dover Straits in an airship From
the way they are talking of England
being no longer an island" one might
suppose that instead of flying over the
| the channel the adventuresome French
man had drained it into the ocean and
then finished up his job by tying Eng
land to the continent with his guy
ropes, or whatever kind Of cordage aero
nauts use.
Why the passage of the channel by
one aeroplane, or many of them for
that matter, should in any way leopard
ize, even metaphorically, the insular
position of the country is hard to under
stand. Sea-going argosies have been
able to reach it for a space as long as
the age of navigation, and yet England
is still England, the insulated, the on
locker. The landing Of martial force
is, of course, the vital question behind
all the conjecture; but in the actual eff
fort it would doubtless prove an easier
task to get foreign army into the
country via the sea, at some unfortified
port, than to fly enough machines back
and forth over the straits to carry a
body of men sufficiently numerous to be
styled, even for the sake of politeness,
an army of occupation or invasion. |
Each aeroplane would carry about
guard. Then it would have
