at which a great deal Of important bus

Inspector ]. E. Herman of Superior,
North Dakota's representative on the

conferred with the commissioners yes
terday relative to car service for the
shipment of grain in this state and
also relative to the condition of the
cars furnished for loading and the con-
dition OF the cars upon their arrival at
the terminal. Mr.. Herman states that
there is a marked Improvement In the
condition of the cars this year over that
of previous years, and reports that the
Wisconsin inspection board have been
enabled by their new series of blank
books and report cards to keep an ac-
curate record of each car from the time
of it's arrival in the ward at Superior
until it is unloaded. Any defects in
the car which causes loss of grain
is marked on a diagram and is made a
permanent record so that the shipper
may know exactly the condition which
caused his lost in weight IL he has suf-
fered any. Mr.. Herman is a very ener-
getic official and is a valuable man for
the shippers Of North Dakota to have
represent them at the terminal. Mr..
Herman is. of course, much interested
In the development Of Superior as a

grain and is convinced that If the farm
ers and shippers generally could real
ize the excellent facilities for market

and CLUB
TO BUILD line
GRAND FORKS MEN PUSH A
SCHEME FOR COMPETITIVE
OUTLET TO TERMINALS.

Darlington, N. D., Nov. 12-Great in
terest has been aroused by the an
nouncement that the Commercial club
of Grand Forks is back of a project
whereby a railroad line viii be built
from Grand Forks to this city and on
to Bismarck, with an eastern outlet
over the 500 line at or near Thief
River Falls or Plummer. Mimi. The
project mas long been a live one in
this section, as an outlet to the north
east is considered very desirable.
The plan of work adopted by the
Grand Forks Commercial club provides
for the making OF surveys from that
city to some point on the wheat line"
of the 500 rainroad in Minnesota, and
from Grand Forks to Bismarck by way
of Darlington. A committee of ten
members Of the commercial club Of
Grand Forks will have the matter in
charge and will commence active work
upon being appointed by President
Lander.
The territory that would be tapped
by the new railroad In North Dakota
is an extremely rich one. The line
would pass through portions Of Grand
Forks, Steele, Nelson, Foster, Griggs,
Kidder and Burleigh county, and from
It's eastern terminal to the state capi-
tai would be about 800 miles in length
1t is proposed to build the inc along
the same plan as several other roads
have been constructed in North Da-
kota, notable among them being the
Farmers railroad at Devils Lake and
the North Dakota line at Edinburg,
both of which were financed by resi-
dents of the communities directly
benefited. The idea Of running a line
east of Grand Forks is to establish
competition between Grand Forks and
terminal points.

milwaukee Il Ahardasn.

Aberdeen, S. d.. Nov. IL. From
sources which leave little doubt of It's
truthfulness, comes the report that the
Milwaukee railroad has bought the
right Of way Of the Minneapolis, St.
Paul & Sault ste, Marie railroad
through the city of Aberdeen, and viii
use the newly acquired property for
trackage and terminals
Nearly twenty FIVE years ago the 500
built grade from Ashley, N. d., to
Aberdeen, and expected to build to this
city. Since then yearly at springtime
the rnmor has been printed that the
500 surely intended to iron the
grade from Ashley. The purchase OF
the right of way in Aberdeen is taken
to mean that the 500 has abandoned
any intention of building here 1t is
now believed that the Minneapolis &
st. Louis. which runs through Aber-
deem TO Leola. will take over the Soo's
old grade from Leola to Ashley.

She Wanted Minnie.
The following story from the Mime
apolis Journal tells Of Miss Caleman's
arrest in Minneapolis:
Minnie" a beautiful fox terrier,
spent last night in the woman's ward
at Central police station. She occu-
pied an entire section instead Of a
single cell, for Minnie" is not a pris-
oner although her owner, Miss Doro-
thy Coleman, is.
Miss Caleman, who Is charged with
grand larceny, was arrested as she
stepped from a train at the union de-
pot yesterday morning. She carried
two alligator bags. Detectives John
Morrissey and John Stavlo did not
open them, but left that for the ma
tron, Mrs. Sarain Schaffer.
Miss Caleman was locked in a single
cell. She refused food. and asked the
matron to bring one Of the bags into
her cell. She begged and pleaded, but
to no avail, as 1t is a rule not to allow
prisoners their belongings until they
are thoroughly examined by the ma
iron.
The young woman did not retire at 8
o'clock last night, as is the usual Gus
tom. Instead she sat on the side of her
narrow cot and gazed wistfully at the
alligator bag lying in the corridor.
II can't sleep unless you let me have
that bag" said the young woman, be-
tween sobs.
BY this time Mrs. Schaffer was sus-
picious. She opened the bag, and out
jumped a dog. The woman whislted
and the dog ran hurriedly toward the
cell. In it's eagerness the dog ran it's
head between the bars, and it was
with difficulty that Matron Schaeffer
got the animals head out without in
juring it.
At the sight of the dog jumping
against the bars, whining piteously,
Mrs. Schaffer weakened, She opened
the cell door and transferred Miss
Caleman to an entire section.
Today when two officers arrived to
take Miss Caleman to Grand Forks.
where she is charged with the theft of
$40, she asked them to allow the dog
to travel back with her, and they
granted her request.

AN OLD FOOL and
A COMELY WOMAN
MUCH WANTED WOMAN TAKEN
TO GRAND FORKS FROM
MINNEAPOLIS.

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 12.-The
story of an old fool and a comedy wo-
man is that of Miss Dorothy Gale
man, of this city and various other
places, and K j. Johnson, Of Park
River, N. ID. Miss Coleman was
brought back to Grand Forks last
evening from Minneapolis, where she
had gone after relieving Johnson of
$40 of good money Monday night
while he was asleep in a local hotel.
'rhe party of the second part is a
man of probably IS years of age. He
Is a farmer living about six miles to
the west Of Park River and has a wife
and ten children, according to all re-
ports. Miss Coleman was arratgned
last evening before Judge Mclaughlin,
the case being continued until this
morning at 10 o'clock. 1t is under
stood that Johnson is willing to settle
and there are suspicious that all he
wanted was to get the woman back
again. They left the police station
last night apparently on good terms.
From what could be learned John
sons affection for Miss Coleman, VINO,
by the way, is about % years OF age,
a good looking woman, and who was
given a divorce some time ago in
Pembina county, is of considerable
standing. 1t was learned last evening
that he kept her about six miles from
his home for some time and that his
wife has already made some overtures
toward securing a divorce.
Just Kept Money.
According to Miss Caleman's story
she simply kept the money Johnson
gave i1er and told her to put in her
stocking. Johnson admitted telling
her to put the $40 in her stocking,
but denied that he told her to keep
it there when she ran away When the
woman was arrested in Minneapolis
as a result of a long distance call
from Capt. John Sullivan Of the local
police force, she had $135 on her per-
son. At that time she was on her
way to a hospital for Surgical treat
ment, according to her story.
When asked last night the cause of
the trouble, Miss Caleman, caught UNI
awares, remarked:
well, I'll tell you, it is a case OF
what some people call love. He is
stuck on me and simply won't leave
