G. N. Buys

From all appearances, the Great
Northern is on the eve of some un-
usual activities in Minot. It Is
known that the company has options
on practically every piece Of prop.
erty on North Main street between
the G. NJ. and the 500 right-of-way :.
The company has an option on the
E. F.. 'lompkins block occupied by
the European restaurant, for $4,000.
The company has also secured an OPP
ton on the Dakotah hotel property
for $50, 900, as well as on the old Hoff-
man block, recently bought by the
Chink who occupies it. The Great
Northern few days ago bought the
AL Campbell house and lot adjoining
the right of way for $4,000, f1ve
houses and lots from Mrs. Jane Ro.
war for $4,000, paying Mrs. Rowan
$500 down, and the Andrew Balerud
property, for $4,000. The company
also paid Henry .Auslander $4,000 for
piece of ground. 25x1o0 feet, just
back of the Auslander bakery build.

Rumor has it that the; company in

{ to Main street, in case this property
is secured. The. fact, that the Soc

street property. for depot purposes
may have had some effect IN inducing
the G. N. to buy this property.
