mile Into Anoka county, and has
started men leveling, filling and track.
laying. An extensive addition to
freight terminals Is to be made and
the new yards pushed to completion.
The road has been acquiring this
property for some time. 1t bought
city lots and farm land. The pur.
chases are considered significant Of
the growing necessity for larger Min
neapolis freight terminals. The big
crop this year and the likelihood of
increased business prompted the man
agement to close the deals and get
the work under way before Sept. 1.
Road a Steady Buyer.
The Northern Pacific has LONG
owned wide extent of land available
for trackage adjoining the Northeast
Minneapolis right of way between
Twenty-seventh and Thirty-first ave.
nues Northeast. Two years ago It
bought additional property, including
100 lots from Twenty-seventh avenue
to Thirty-second avenue Northeast,
and also SO other lots.
The, further purchase, the last de.
tail of which is just closed, EN-.
braces a strip about 300 feet wide,
east of the right of way from Thirty.
third avenue to point about half
a mile from the city limits. This
gives the Northern Pacific strip
two miles long and varying from 300
to 1000 feet in width. This is where
the greatest freight terminal that will
be exclusively in Minneapolis is to be
built up.
The tracks of the 500 line cross the
Northern Pacific but in the new plan,
on which the 500 is now working, the
bridge across the river Is to be raised,
and the 500 tracks will go over the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific

The injured aviator was taken to

EXPLANATION is POSTPONED.
War Department Hesitates About
Mrs. Sutton's Request.

Washington, Aug. 26.-The officials
of the war department have decided
to postpone action upon the request of
Mrs. Sutton to exhume the body of
Lieutenant Sutton, her son, now
buried in Arlington national cemetery.
Although there seems to be no rea-
sonable doubt that ultimately the
wishes of the mother will be complied
with, the officials are of the opinion
that the secretary of war, the secre-
tary of the navy, and possibly the
president, should be communicated
with before final action is taken.
These officials are all out of the city.
No instance is on record of the re-
quest Of relatives for the disinterment
of bodies of their relatives having
been refused, but the case of Lieuten-
ant Sutton is regarded as a very ex-
ceptional one.

versation the guests of honor partook

Don't be afraid you won't get
people. There is no other place on
the American continent where they
can go. But don't try to get people
who will have to be recivilized," said
James J. Hill in speaking for the
American settler at the. Canadian
club. ut is a long and serious job
to assimilate a foreign population.
Those who come from our Western
states, speak your language and know
your institutions. am very sure they
will quite rapidly fall into your local
municipal organizations and as rule
you can collect judgment from
them"
canada's Sons Returning.
Mr.. Hill said that one out of every
five persons born in Canada now lives
in the United States, but that Canada
is rapidly getting back its population
as hundreds Of landseekers are now
coming in from the Western states,
having from $4,000 to 100000 each,
and they will make as much progress
in one year, he stated, as European
will in 10.
Mr.. Hill concluded by moving vote
of thanks on behalf of himself and
Northwestern America in general to
Lord Strathcona for the inestimable
services he has rendered to this Sec
ito of the continent in the course of
his long career.
