ANNUAL MEETING
Grant County Telephone Company
Elects Officers

The call for the annual meet
ing of the stockholders in the
Grant County Telephone con.
pany last Friday brought out a
big representation of stock, as
there was a general desire to
know what would be the policy
OF the company now that a ma
, jority of the stock was held by
non residents and in connection
with the Tri State of Minnesota.
After a roll of the stockholders
had been called, the president
Mr.. John Hehernan, stated that
Mr.. E. G. Cass was expected to
have been at the meeting, but
was delayed by snow blockades
on the railroads and would not
be able to get there until the ar
rival of the 4:20 train. The roll
call showed that 863 votes were
present, the proxies of Messrs.
E. H. Moul.on and c. E. Cass
being held by Mr.. E. D Mooar,
and committee composed of q.
S. Amsden, Paul Pinkert and
Spencer Seldom was named to
canvass the proxies, the canvass
showing that q quorum was rep
resented. The reports of the
secretary and treasurer were
read, and Mr.. F. B. Roberts said
that he believed that the recent
transfer of stock would prove q
good thing for the company;
that he had talked with Mr..
Moulton, ann the latter had no
intention or desire to do any in.

it Was his purpose and desire to
put the business on paying basis.
1t was voted to return the
money which had been paid for
some five shares of stock to par.

with the understanding the tele
phone service should be made
to reach them. but this was not
done and was not likely to be
done. The names of these par
ties were: J. G. Jenson, O. O.

ing basis for the benefit of their
own stock, and this could not be
done without a like benefit
accrulng to the minority stock
holders. 1t was the desire
to keep as many stockholders as
possible and make them satisfied
with their holdings. Just what
plans would be adopted he was
unable to state until the ground
had been looked over and coudi-
tions examined, but the stock
holders could rest assured that
the very best possible line of &C.
ton would be followed for the
benefit of all, and that the hearty
cooperation and support of each
stakeholder was solicited,
Messrs. F. B. Roberts, G.. S.

A Valuable Freight Train
Five Cars Of Silk From Tac,,ma Doeks
to New York City-Passed Thropxh
Ailbank Wednesday.

Ailbank Wednesday.
ACROSS CONTINENT IN 100 HOURS
A train of five cars of silk and
one car of fish passed through
Milbank Wednesday, and are in
New York city bv the time you
are reading this. This is not
the hrst silk.train that has gone
east over the Milwaukee-but it
is the fact that they are the king
OF freight trains that makes them
OF more than ordinary interest.
Conductor Wells and Engineer
Dougan of Montevideo were in
charge of the train from Aber-
deem to Montevideo, and made q
fast trip all the way. They made
the twenty one miles between
Summit and Milbank in twenty.
four minutes, and stopped in
Milbank just long enough to re.
ceive train orders and take coal
and water. While this was being
done q brakeman was trying ali
the boxes and connections to see
If everything was alright. One
OF the air valves under one of the
cars was found to he leaking, but
was soon repaired, the train
pulling out within I've minutes
from the time it arrived.
These five cars were loaded
directly from the boats at the
docks at Tacoma, WASH, we're
sealed by the customs officers
and are not to be opened under
any circumstances until their
arrival at New York. The bales
OF raw silk are quickly loaded
into cars that are moisture, dust
and waterproof. There is no
merchandise in the world 50
perishable as raw silk. It ia
easy to destroy, easy to damage,
easy to steal. The elem ents can
damage it to q greater degree
than almost anything else. 1t
is highly inflam mable, and mois.
ture is destructive to it. The
silk train has right OF way over
all trains. For instance, orders
were received here to shave
clear track for silk special for
2:15 p. m.,' aud it arrived on the
dot. The special left Aberdeen
at 11:2O a. m., making the run of
81 miles in 18O minutes.
The best refrigerator cars are
used for these trains. They are
equipped with Krupp wheels on
account of the long steady work
they must do, and are the only
kind that can stand the steady
pounding off of 80 miles an hour,
which is their schedule. Fruit
trains take about IA days, and
ordinary freight about 80 days
to cross the continent, against
100 hours, which is the average
run for the silk.train. So care
fully is this branch of freighting
carried on that out of the three
hundred silk trains run across
the continent last year, there is
not q wreck recorded against
them. The value of these trains
varies any where from half a mil.
lion to a million dollars, accord.
ing to the mum Der of cars which
run from six to ten to the train.
The different railroads are anx.
ious to secure this freight and
bid for it, not by cutting the
price but by quicker transpor-
tation from coast to coast.
At the present time the silk
train is an interesting sight, but
soon like other improvements in
railroading, will go by unnoticed

militia from the State, died here
Wednesday night at $50 o'clock.
Gen. Lowry had been in failing

passed peacefully away at the
home of his granddaughter, Mrs.

weaker for several days and this
afternoon began to sink, and in
