START GRADING MAY 1sr

Instructions have been. received
from Vice President Fl. S. Dun

Continental Ry. Co., by Locating
Engineer G.P. Beach, of Jamestown,
to prepare for active construction
work on the section of new transcon-

Beach states that work will be
rushed on this part of the line from
the start, working at both ends,
Jamestown and Edgeley, and at the
middle, at the same time, some 500
teams being employed for the grad
ing contract, and it is hoped to COM
plete the grading within three

bridge work and track laying will be
ready in the fall on this forty miles
of the road. The right-of- is
practically settled for the entire dis
tance, with the exception of certain
condemnation proceedings.
There has been slight change in
the course of the new railroad

N. w. AND N. P. RuMoRs

Again the rumor is renewed re-
garding the Northern Pacific-North-
western railroad combination. No
direct evidence of any such deal is to
be had and denials are repeated that
there is any such deal. The Fargo
Forum says that there is apparently
some traffic agreement between the
two roads, new in it's nature, and To-
cal officials of the Mp. road are said
to believe that when the present
traffic agreements have run their
course something definite regarding
the truth or untruth of the rumor
will be made known. A closer traffic
arrangement between the Burlington
and Great Northern is noted since
the completion of the Burlington
and Northern line from Billings and
that the N. P. no longer shares the
freight brought to Bill
lings, but which goes to the Great
Northern. It is rumored that the
Vanderbilt interests have been Sc
curing large blocks of N. P. stock.

NEW BANK BUILDING
Citizens Nat. Bank Will Erect a
Modern Model Building on
5th Ave. So.

An important matter was decided
upon Tuesday at the annual meet.
ing of the directors and officers of the
Citizens National bank. 1t was de-
cided to begin the erection early in
the spring, of "a two story brick
building, ON 5th ave. south on the
lot purchased by the bank sometime
ago. This lot is at present occupied
by a frame building, which will be re-
moved, either sold or otherwise dis
posed of. and the new brick structure
erected in its place. The new bank
building will probably be about 80
feet in length, will have a fine loca-
tion, being on the south side of an
alley from which an abundance of
light can be had for Office and busi-
ness purposes, while the front Of the
building will face west on 5th ave-
nue.. The new bank building will be
two stories in height, with basement,
will be brown stone front, modern
in every particular and credit to
the city and to the bank. The second
story will be fitted up for attorneys
Offices and they will be model offices
for that purpose. The building will
be steam heated and in every way
strictly up-to-date.

NORTH DAKo1ANs IN THE SOUTH

Mr.. H. B. Allen Of this city says,
in note to the Alert, dated at New
Orleans, Jan. 8th:
Thinking perhaps some of your
readers might be interested in hear
ing from the "Sunny South," 1 will
send few lines from this place. We
left Chicago on Wednesday morning
on the Illinois Central, one of the
best roads of my limited experience,
good cars, smooth road and accom-
modating officials. On entering the
car we were surprised to find it we'll
stocked with the common housefy, as
the temperature outside was 10 below
zero with stiff wind, but on learn
ing that the cars passed back and
forth from Chicago to New Orleans.
we concluded they were natives Of
the latter place. The country for 200
miles from Chicago was fine and
level, soil black and from appearances
very prosperous, good farm buildings,
progressive towns, an occasional piece
of winter wheat, but corn fields as
far as the eye could reach. Horses,
mules and cattle were feeding in the
standing corn. Even the size and
style of the lady passengers hats be-
tokened prosperity. The contour of
the country and color Of the soil re-
minded us of the Red river valley.
The balance Of the state south
from Centralia is more broken, soil
yellow and apparently not very pro-
ductive along the line OF the railroad.
If the balance of the southern part
of the state is like that we passed
through, I do not understand why it
should be called the egypt of
America" We crossed the bridge
over the Ohio at Cairo by moonlight.
We we're told by passenger that this
is next to the longest bridge in
America and cost five million dollars.
We spent the night at Memphis,
Tenn, hustling progressive city of
nearly 200, 900 inhabitants. Here we
were surprised to meet S. T. Ross of
Jamestown with some 20 North Da-
kota citizens, taking them to Texas
to buy land.
On Thursday we came on to the
Crescent City, of ancient origin, and
romantic history, and find it an ideal
winter resort with green lawns
blooming flowers and palm trees.

FARMERS INSTITUTE SPEAKERS

One of the principal speakers Sc
cured for the Farmers Institute to
be held at Jamestown, February 3rd
and 4th is Prof. Thomas Shaw. Prof.
Shaw is an able speaker, as all those
who heard him here year ago will
remember, and is particularly we'll
posted on the subjects upon which
he will talk, as he has had forty years
actual experience as a farmer in On
tario, for five years was professor of
Agriculture in the Ontario Agricul-
tural college and for thirteen years
was professor of Animal Husbandry
in the Minnesota Agricultural col
lege, and at present is Northwestern
editor of the Orange Judd Farmer.
: Prof. Shaw will speak on, the fol-
lowing subjects:
building up the soil.
2-Can North Dakota complete
with corn districts in growing live
stock?
3-Swine production. .
4-Beef making.
The above subjects are all of vital
interest to every farmer of Stutsman
county, and as several other speakers
of equal renown have been engaged
to lecture during the institute every
farmer should make it a point to be
present at as many sessions as possi-
BILE, and to try and induce his neigh
Dor to be present also. Remember

Spiritwood lake. He was unmarried,
and was born in Europe, and was
we'll known to many. of the older res
idents and farmers Of the country.
His sister and brother-in-law, Mr..
and Mrs. Michael Frenzel who have
resided in the vicinity of the lake.
are now spending the winter in Ger

cheerful man and good citizen. One
of his favorite occupations was that
of fishing in a certain spot on the
south shore of Spiritwood lake. AS
the "old fisherman" of the lake he
will be missed by many visitors at
that resort.

THE COVERED MILK PAIL
(Hugh j. Hughes, N. D. A. G.

One of the greatest drawbacks to
the production of a high-class home
made dairy butter is the ordinary
milk pail. It is practically impossi-
BILE to obtain dirt free milk when the
open top pail is in use, even though
washing the cows udder be resorted
to, and every other precaution maxi
ing for cleanliness be taken. If pail
of milk, drawn under ordinary condi-
tions, be strained thru a folded
cheese cloth and the residue exam
ined it will show in every instance,
the needs of more care with the milk
pail. -
We would recommend the use Of a
covered pail, having a small open
ing at the center, where the milk
can drain through several thick
nesses of cheese cloth. In this way
much Of the floating dust, loaded
with bacteria, that settles in the
milk pail, will be avoided. The cows
flank and udder should be washed to
remove all filth and scales, loose
hairs, and particles Of straw and dust
that may be clinging to the body. It
is needless to say that the person and
hands Of the mixer should be clean,
and he should not dip his fingers in
to the milk stream in order to mois-
ten the COWS teats. At the time of
milking all offensive odors should be
absent, as far as possible. A dark,
foul smelling, dust laden barn can
hardly be a source Of really ''sweet"
milk.
1t is this filthy condition when
taking the milk that is largely re-
sponsible for poor butter, because, as
we say, the milk becomes "tainted"
with the odors Of the barn. In point
of fact the more serious result of a
lack of cleanliness is that the milk is
invaded by swarms of bacteria that
find in it an excellent place of
growth. and the work ssof the ordin-
ary souring bacteria is interfered
with. AS result the cream differs
from time to time in its character,
the noticeable ''taint'' of the milk is
present, and the bad effects of neg
lect at the time of milking is carried
over to-the butter, which ..is uneven
in quality, and Jacks very much ..of
that sweetness that goes with the
highest care and cleanliness about
the dairy.
Milk pals such as we speak of may
be bought for about double the price
of the ordinary pail, but, taking into
account the nearer approach to clean
illness, and the better quality of but
ter produced, they would be cheaper
at almost any price.

SPANGLER'S
Scene of an EARLY Morning Fire.
Considerable Damage to
Building and Property.


light plant notified the city at 7:l5
a. m. Tuesday, of the fire that broke
out in the basement of Mrs. Spang-
ler's building on Front street, ad-
joining the Capital house on the
west. The fire started from the fur
mace in the basement and spread to
the coal bin, and soon filled the
building with dense volume of
smoke. The fremen responded
promptly, and had stubborn fight
until about noon before they got the
fire well under control.
The chairs and fixtures in o.
Brien's barber shop, the next build
ing on the west, we're removed into
the street, and smoke penetrated
thru the easements of the other
buildings west, so that several of the
occupants Of the upper stories were
obliged to leave on account Of the
smoke. Mrs. Spangler's rooms over
the billiard hall were filled with
smoke. but the household goods were
not removed. She was occupying the
upstairs fiat with her sister at the
time of the fire. The fire was hard
to handle, owing to the fact that it
was in the basement and difficult to
reach it with stream from the out
side and Notwithstanding the large
amount of water thrown on the first
floor and into the basement the fire
smoldered and smoked all the morn
ing. The firemen worked hard to
reach the blaze with water. The first
floor of the building fell in about 10
O'Clock after which it was somewhat
easier to handle the fire. There was
one pool and 'one billiard table in the
building which could not be removed,
and a stock of tobacco, cigars, pop
and other goods. .-'
Al Farber, who had charge of the
billiard hall fought the fire for 30
minutes before assistance arrived.
Mrs. .Spangler, Gertrude Spangler,
and Mrs. Pearl Wright were sleeping
in the second story and Mr.. Farber
had some difficulty in assisting Mrs.
Spangler down stairs, she being part
ly overcome by smoke. In going back
after some papers and returning Far
ber fell forward and bruised his nose
| and eye quite badly. The safe was
COTTON out. The stock Of goods val
| ued at $500 was destroyed and the
| interior of the building was badly
damaged by fire, smoke and water.
The joice that held up the first floor
gave way, being burned and let down
| the floor, fixtures and tables into
the basement.
| The insurance on the Spangler
| building was s25O0 and insurance vn
the stock Of goods Sl50o both held in
Bensch's agency. The loss on the
building is estimated at about 81, 900
and complete loss on the stock.
The insurance on the O'Brien bar
ber shop fixtures were $500. This af-
ternoon the chairs were returned to
the shop and the work of cleaning up
from the water and the dirt begun.
