The next day-June 21-the first
meeting of the directors was held in
this city at which the first officers were
elected as follows: President N. *.
Hubbard: vice president, w. A. Kin
derd; treasurer, Chas. Sweat; secre-
tary, O. w. Darling.
From that time on the preliminaries
moved forward with rapidity and on
Aug. s of the same year w. A. Kin
dred was appointed assistant superin-
tendent of construction and on Sept. IL
Geo. w. Wilson was made attorney
for the company. During the following
months some grading of roadbed was
accomplished and the work of secur-
ing the right of way was pushed.
On May s, 1882, the chairman of the
construction committee was directed to
let the contracts for the building OF
thirty miles of roadbed south from
Fargo In addition to that which had
already been constructed
From that time on building was car
ried on almost constantly. The COM
pany Incorporated under the laws OF
the state Of North Dakota. This was
prior to the time that any building
found desirable to construct the line
on south and the state of Minnesota
was entered. This part of the line was
incorporated under the name of the
Fargo e ST. Louis Air Line Railroad
Co. The two lines were amalgamate6
becoming one line from Fargo to Or
tonville. Construction was completed
over this distance in 1888.
The railroad was operated constant
ly and with considerable success until
June 16, 1885, when the Fargo &
Southern Railway Co.. conveyed all its
railroad and property to the Chicago
Milwaukee & ST. Paul Railway Co., and
1t has been operated as a branch line
of this system ever since with tht
gratifying results already mentioned.
First to Use Steel Rails.
While it would now be novelty /,
see a piece of railroad constructed d
anything but steel rails, it is a notable
fact the old Fargo & Southern was tn,
first line in the state to use them. Al
the time Of It's construction both TIL,
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
roads used the old iron rails in THU
part Of the country. 1t is therefore
easily to be conjectured that the in
stallation of steel rails was consider.

quite relic. This advertisement lays
particular stress on the fact that the
road used steel rails throughout. Even
this was published after the road had
been taken over K y the c., NJ & st. r..

senger departments While it is not
dated it is evident that this poster
was printed in 1886 or 1887.
The Milwaukee Station.
The c., M e. St p. station at Fargo
was erected by the Fargo g. Southern
while that line was In course of con-
struction and has been in constant
use ever since. 1t is located at the
corner OF Second avenue and Eleventh
street north. 1t is easily reached from
any part OF the city by the street rail-
way which runs directly in front OF it.
The structure is a large two story
brick being built originally to shelter
the terminal offices OF the Fargo g.
Southern. Now it is the home of all
the local departments OF the c., M. e.

and Offices were coated in a building
along the right OF way at the corner Of
Thirteenth street In that year this
structure was razed having previously
been partially destroyed by tornado
which did considerable damage in that
part of the town. The freight offices
and warehouse were then built on the
west end of the passenger station,
where it would be handler and facili-
tate the work.
The Roads Fargo Agents.
There have been number of local
agents for the company during the
time 1t has been operating out Of the
city. These agents which have been
in charge Of the company's business
since 1888 are as follows:
Frank L. Bacon, 1888 to 1890.
F. g. Newell, 1890 to 1893.
Walter I'll. Gross, 1893 to 1909.

FIFTH WARD OFFICER
Council Moves TO Take One Of Three
Out Of Hollow to Abate Public
Nuisance.

The Fifth ward can now boast OF
being the only truly residence ward In
the city having protection from a POI
lice officer. In the future one plain
clothes man will serve in the neigh
borhood Of the Kopperdahl hospital.
The matter came UP before the city
council last evening when Alderman
Stern moved that one officer be taken
, out OF the hollow, holding that the
former tenderloin district was not en-
titled to the protection Of three ofti-
GERS, any more than sny other Sec
ton OF the city. His motion carried.
Fearing that some considered IL a
joke, the Fifth ward alderman later
declared that It was not and that he
wanted the officer detailed as directed.

county has been infested by g tough
band of hoboes this fall that have
been turning things loose in no un-
certain manner. Their last depreda-
tion was at Russell here four OF them
entered biindpig and with revolvers
drawn, held UP the proprietors and
those in the place, securing about $50
for their trouble.
At Newberg two members OF the
gang became involved in a fierce scrap
but the row was broken up by Marshal
O'Brien, who landed one of the men in
Jail. His companions attempted to
break the jail open and release him
but were prevented.
The cutting affair in Bottineau as
well as the card game row in New
berg earlier In the season, were par
ticipated in by the same gang OF
toughs. The officials over this Sec
ton Of the country are watching the
men closely at every turn.

ABSENT.
How They stand.

Opposed to light bond election, 49,:
Amerland, BoIene. Bowers, Clapp,
Cole, Early, Hall and Stern.
For light bond election, go: Hodges,
Minis, Powers, Stewart and Tlbert.
There viii be no special election on
the matter OF electric light bonds in
the city Of Fargo-that is not for the
present at least. Holding that there
was no demand for an expression by
the people; that there was no chance
to improve the present lighting con-
ditions in the city, the council last
evening voted down a resolution In
troduced 10y Alderman Powers. calling
for vote on issuing $4,000 worth of
electric light bonds Oct. 26, at the
same time the water bonds will be
voted on
The father Of the resolution made
an eloquent plea for it's adoption stat
ing In substance:
'Tt was only six months ago that
there was an expression on this sub
ject by the voters who were practical
ly unanimous in favor OF the light
plant. There was a little mistake in
connection with the proposition but we
were not eensured. don't think we
have the right to refuse the people g
chance TO express themselves on this
| subject: If we do we will certainly
be open to criticism. 1t was at the
suggestion OF an alderman that the
| light question was taken UP by the
Commercial club Meetings were held
there and intelligent speakers enlfgnt-
ened the people who have endorsed III
at every turn. I'm not saying that
| we've got to install this plant. II
is possible that will vote against
the bonds, but ifs not going to- cost q
cent additional to let the people vote
If they don't want 1t, let them vote
| it down."
Alderman stern took the position
| that the city would be unable to gain
anything by a municipal plant with
the concessions which have been made
in the matter OF rate reductions.
Alderman Stewart agreed with Pow
ers and asked for an election.
| Alderman Amerland opposed an
election for the present, believing that
| il would be better to wait until spring
and then II there was demand for an
election, hold II at the time OF the
regular city election.
Alderman Tfbert stated that he was
In favor OF an election but would vote
| against the bonds.
Alderman Cole, one Of the commit
tee that waited on the light cornpans
stated that every concession asked o.
1 the company had been granted and
that the committee mad agreed to use
| it's power to suspend temporarily
agitation for bond election. The first
ward alderman held that his bill waa

From the time Of it's final construc-
fion in 1888. the Chicago, Milwaukee 81
St Paul railway has played an inn
portant part in the commercial de-
velopment Of Fargo. 1t has added to
the territory Of the local fnanufactur-
ers and jobbers by offering them those
advantages by which the. are able to
compete with the commercial concerns
OF the large eastern cities.
This road comes into Fargo from the
south opening up the rich agricultural
country In Che Red River valley in
North Dakota South Dakota and Min
nesota and giving excellent .connec-
lions to the east, west and south.
The line originates ait Ortonville, Mimi,
and ends here and while only branch

In and out Of Fargo.

system Of necessity does not pay great
attention to the passenger traffic all

line daily. One arrives here In the
morning and the other departs in tn
evening carrying q complete train Of
coaches and baggage cars and a stand
ard sleeper through to the twin cities.
1T is to freight transportation that
this part of the line directs the great
er portion of its energies and 1t can
be truthfully said that 1t has done
much for Fargo and its business men.
About a year ago the line entered into
an agreement with the 500 road which
to all intents and purposes brings the
500 line into Fargo. 1t is doubtful IL
there has, in recent years. been move
which has been of SO much benefit to
the city Of Fargo. BY this agreement
Fargo shippers are given a continuous
rate from Fargo over the Milwaukee,
and then over either of the two lines
of the 500, which taps the rich country
to the west and northwest. This rate
is competitive with the other lines
in the state and at the same time gives
a much greater mileage and conse-
quently much larger number Of
towns which have become a part OF
F'argos commercial territory and with
In easy reach.
Greatly Pleased Shippers.
AS is deserved, the local commercial
establishments feel very grateful to
both the Milwaukee and the 500 for
this commendable move as they have
benefited very greatly by it. It opens
up to direct communication that part
of the state In Richland, Ransom,
Barnes. Stutsman, Foster, Wells, Nc
Henry, Montraille and Ward counties
which can only be reached over the
500. 1t also adds to the local territory
q considerable portion Of the two lower
tiers of counties as far west as the
Missouri river and thence north into
Mclean county. From Ortonville over
the Milwaukees own lines the new
country in the southwestern part Of
the state is reached. Branching north
from this line three lines extend into
North Dakota, one tapping Sargent
county, one running up through Dickey
into La INQUIRE county and one up to
Linton in Emmons county
The company Is also building three
more lines of railroad which will add
TO Fargo territory. One branches north
from Mclaughlin, s. D. and enters
North Dakota through the Standing
Rock Indian reservation tapping the
country along the Cannon Ball river.
This line will be built as far north as
Dickinson. The other two lines branch
south and run into western South Da-
kota.

The Milwaukee Trains.
The trains out cf Fargo, as has been
said, are equipped in splendid man
ner. Considerably better than Ia to be
found on most branch lines in the west
These trains run to Ortonville, Mimi,
where connection is made with the
numerous trains on the main line and
which reach every point on the COM
pany's 1858 miles Of track. The road
has been building line to the Pacific
coast and on July of this year II
opened its through freight service,
which Is OF great Importance. So far
the passenger service has not been es-
tablished but this II Is expected will
be put into commission about May 1,
when it will be possible to go clear to

kee e. St Paul tracks.
From Fargo q passenger and a
freight train are run each way daily
The passenger trains are Nos 104 and
1O6. No. 1O4 leaves Ortonville at z
o'clock in the morning and arrives in
Fargo at 1880 a. m. This equipment
Is turned and returns as No. 106 leav-
ing Fargo at 1880 p, m. and arriving at
Ortonville at 1915 a. ma. This train
stops at all points along the 11S miles
from here to Ortonville.
The freight trains are Nos 1866 and
1886. Both Of these trains carry a
coach at the rear of the train to ac-
commodate the travelling public. This
has proven very handy to Fargo peo-
pie and the residents of the towns
along the line. No. 165 leaves Orion
