WAHPBT0N AFTER
JOBBlNG PLANTS
Commercial Club Presents City's
Advantages-Big BUILDING
Year Promised


Wahpeton will be one of the
liveliest cities in the state this
spring. improvements will be
made aggregating an outlay of
100000. The commercial club
is making an effort to interest
small factories and jobbing
houses and induce them to 10
cate here.
The theory entertained SO
long by manufacturers and job
bers that manufacturing plants
could not thrive except at term
inals is gradually being dis
proved. Wahpeton because of
it's location and excellent rail-
way facilities, is conceded to be
the natural gateway to south
ern North Dakota and the time
is not far distant when manu-
facturers of the east and mid
die west will recognize it as
such.
The Great Northern Railway
company will improve it's pro-
perty here and build station
to cost $15O,OOO. The building
will be 217 feet in length with
platform running the entire
length of city block. The
company will greatly Improve
the local yards and surround
the station with a beautiful
park.
A street railway system will
be put in as soon as the frost is
out of the ground. The line is
known as the Wahpeton, Breck.
enridge street railway, and will
connect the two cities and
make them practically one. The
project is financed by some f
the best known business men
in this section. Terminals have
been purchased and the mater
ials for construction will be cn
the ground in few weeks.
Upon investigation it was
found that an average of twen-
ty six persons crossed the
bridge connecting the two cities
every hour of the day. The
OUTLOOK for prosperous busi-
ness proposition is therefore
good.
The motive power will be
electricity transmitted over
cable from Fergus Falls to the
generators of the company. 1t
is supposed that six weeks of
labor will see the system in op-
Grafton.
A new armory for the nation
al guard is under construction
and will be a magnificent
building. The cost will amount
to $4,000 or $4,000. "A city hall
will be built at a probable out
lay of $4,000.
The state Indian School and
the State School of Science will
be improved to the extent of
$4,000 or $4,000 and much
building will be done in the
residence portion.

Mrs. Abale had been his nurse.
DIR. Paul Auterbridge, his
physician said last night that
the cause of death was chronic
and acute Bright's disease. The
body was removed last night to
the home of Frank H. Plat,
his son, and will be taxed on
Tuesday to Oswego, n. Y, the
senator's birthplace, where he
will be buried. Funeral ser.
vices will be held Wednesday
at the Presbyterian church in
Oswego.
Mr.. Platt was born in 1888.
The end was startlingly sud.
den. An hour before the sena.
tor died, his two sons Frank
and Edward, with their fami.
lies and his widowed son,
Harry, with the latter's daugh-
ter Charlotte and son Sherman,
had left the house, after their
usual Sunday visit. The sena-
tor said at that time that he
felt very we'll and thought he
would read the Sunday papers.
At 8 o'clock he was taken with
a fainting fit and DR.. Auter-
bridge was hurriedly called.
The family was notified and re-.
turned in haste. Mr.. Platt re-
covered from his first lapse but
sank into unconsciousnees
again at h alf past three and
died fifteen minutes later. The
relatives were all at his bed
side.
Only last Wednesday Senator
Platt was at his Office down
town. For several years he had
been in feeble health and later
ly use of his legs had almost
deserted him but his condition
was not looked upon as more
serious than usual although
physicians called upon him
daily.
Political leaders united today
i'll expressing the opinion that
the passing of ex-senator Plat
will be without influence on the
c ,urse of New York state poll
tics. His retirement from poll
tics in 1908, when his name was
left off the list of delegates to
both the national and state con-
ventions, was absolute a n d
complete.
Scores of friends called today
at the home of Frank H. Platt,
where the nody of the dead
senator Lies. There will be no
public funeral in this city. The
former leader will be buried in
the churchyard beside the first
Mrs. Platt.
The ex-senator was not in the
larger meaning, rich man and
is said to have divided his for
tune among his heirs at the
time of his trouble with his
second wife, who was Mrs.
Janeway.
His successor as president of
the United States Express COM
pany has not been selected.
