molished and their contents strewed
all over the right of way.
Boots, shoes, pianoes, automobiles
and other valuable merchandise,
smashed and broken, is piled into one
great heap over which several barrels
Of molasses broke and poured, making
one of the worst looking megses ever
caused by a railroad wreck.
The track Is torn up for several
yards. The cause of the wreck could
not be learned

N. P. USING BIG
MUSKODA FILL
FIRST TRAINS RUN OVER I'M
PROVED PIECE OF ROAD THIS
MoRNING-WoRK ON THIS I'M
PRovEMENT GOING ON THREE
YEARs-LoNG DOUBLE TRACK.

After three years OF work and the
expenditure OF millions Of dollars the
Northern Pacific road began TODAY
using the new 'highline" over the big
fill between Glyndon and Muskoda.
The first train to go over this new
piece of track, was an eastbound tram
which left Dilwcrth shortly after &. 90
The order arrived this morning 90
run all east bound trains over the
Muskoda hignline after 500 as the
road bed is now in first class shape.
The west bound trains will not begin
using their side of the double track
for few days as their track is not
yet quite ready.
Long Double Track
With the opening Of this piece of
track the Northern Pacific has now
double track from Staples. Mimi.
to buffalo, N. d., which is undoubtedly
the most used part of the Northern
Pacific line. All of the traffic from
the west to both the twin cities and
Duluth passes over this piece Of line.
A few years ago the NJ. p. started
improving, shortening, leveling and.
double tracking the road between
Staples and Buffalo. They sent their
engineers over the road and the in
strilctions were to eliminate grades
wherever 1t was possible. The engi-
neers laid their lines and although it
meant an expenditure of millions, the
N. P. began at once cutting down. fill
ing up, or Strengthening the road
wherever 1t was possible.
Their biggest piece Of work was
found to be between Muskoda and
Glyndon. Here there was STRETCH of
road for miles that had to be raised
great many feet In order to cut out
two heavy grades The work of filling
was begun and then 1t was found that
there was treacherous and unstable
bottom and that the great weight Of
earth which was filled in to raise the
grade, kept slowly sinking out of sight.
For years the road has been battling
to get this bottom filled In and 1t has
now been accomplished and the big
main line Improvement from Staples
to Buffalo iii complete.

SHOW INTEREST
IN FRUIT DISPLAY
THRoNGS TRAVEL UP NJ. p. AVE-
NUE. TO SEE THE DISPLAY OF
FINE APPLES I'M WINDOW OF
uMATILLA IRRIGATED LANDS
CO. NEXT TO METRoPoLE.

The announcement in Saturdays is
sue of The Forum that the Umatilla
Irrigated Lands Co., would display
handsome window Of fruits grown on
farms in the great Columbia River
valley of oregon created immediate in
terest and large numbers of Forum
readers went to see the display Sat
urday and Sunday evening.
Naturally people are interested in
projects Of this nature. The expert
ments of the u. S. government and
private individuals in reclamation of
arid lands is something that means a
great deal in the way Of progress.
Heretofore great areas of lands stu
ated where the climate is all that man
could ask for have not been of value
from the fact that there was no way
OF raising crops from them through
the scarcity OF water and the lack
of rainfall. Irrigation has changed all
this and still greater advances are
yet to come.
The project OF the Umatilla Irri-
gated Lands Co, at Hermiston, Ore,
represents the best Of recent steps In
land reclamation. Profiting by the
mistakes of private irrigation pro-
jects the u. s. government has step
ped in to assist in the making of
beautiful fruit farms from arid plains
that heretofore nave produced moth
ing but sage brush The Umatilla Ir-
rigated Lands Co., with wise foresight
have linked their project to the gov
eminent water supply and hence Of
fer unusual opportunities for the man
who wants farm in a delightful CHI
mate, with no danger OF a failure.
In conversation with President
Green OF the land company, this morn
ing he stated that the project was sit
uated in the heart of the great irri-
gated fruit farm district OF northern
Oregon and southern Washington.
Located within the center of activity
development is surer and more rapid,
value more certain and income more
readily produced.
Portland, Oregon, the metropolis of
that great state, the beautiful city OF
Pendleton; Kennewick and North va
kima, Wash, and the wonderful Hood
river district are all within reason
able distance Of Hermiston, the loca-
ton of which is ideal and beautiful.
The lands of the Umatilla Irrigated
Lands Co., are east of the Cascade
range and west of the Blue mountains.
in one Of the beauty spots of this
great country, land where abundance
of water is assured from irrigation
projects back OF which is the full
strength of the United States govern
ment and where the quantity is un-
limited.
Undoubtedly greater interest will be
taken in this project as 1t becomes
more fully known. President Green,
together with Messrs. Sheldon and
Paige, the local representatives are
gladly giving out all information ask
ed for and welcome close investiga-
tion OF their project.

DEATH VICTOR IN
Fight With LAD
LITTLE KENNETH M'kENZlE
sUccuMBs FROM BURNS Az
TER STRUGGLE AGAINST FATE
FOR EIGHT DAYs-FATHER AND
DAUGHTER RETURN TO ANETA.

After enduring untold agony for
seven and a half days, in ais plucky
light against the grim reaper, little IL
vear-old Kenneth Mckenzie, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Simon Mckenzie Of
Aneta, N. D. succumbed yesterday
morning at o'clock. The seriousness
OF the burns suffered by the little lad
were realized by the family from the
first and while hope was retained for
his recovery, it was very slight.
That the end was not far off was
apparent Saturday night and the
father, who had returned to Aneta.
was wired to come. Mr.. Mckenzie ar
rived about o'clock yesterday morn
ing in an auto, Just as his little son
was breathing his last. Miss Ina Nc
Kenzie. sister Of the victim, was
at his side at the hospital constantly
from the time ne was admitted,
Heart broken. the father and daugh-
ter returned to Aneta this morning ac-
companied by the remains Of their
son and brother who they brought to
Fargo week ago today as a last
resort in q fight to save his life.
Whether the lad was the victim or
most vicious murderers or whether his
death was the result OF an accident,
will never be cleared up to the entire
satisfaction OF Aneta people. His fam
lily accept the theory that he was met
by two men a week ago last Satur-
day evening when returning home,
soaked with oil, which was lighted.
Manu- reSfdanfa of Aneta believe
that his clothes caught fire from a
lantern which he carried. The lad was
frightfuIly burned about the trunk Of
his body. From his knees up to mis-
lungs much OF the flesh was scorched
to a crisp. The publication OF the
story melted the sympathy of every
one. The innocent little victim was
inquired about scores of times. by peo-
pie who never knew him, but VINO
hoped for his recovery.

by the council and corporation officers
in calling and preparing for this cleo
ton, has been cautious.s The expert
ence Of the election last spring when
the light question was illegally coupled
with the water, served its purpose.
The views of the supreme court on this
matter have been strictly adhered to.
Tomorrow evening the council will
meet in adjourned session for the main
purpose of canvassing the vote. While
there will be other business, the Off
cial canvass will be the feature.
Despite the fact that registration was

that the friends of better water sup
ply will rally tomorrow and that a
handsome vote will be polled.
