MANAGEMENT OF the Devils Lake Chau-

question as to what they are going to
DO for an entrance into Devils Lake.
on account of having been given notice
to vacate the ground now used for their
depot and their tracks entering this
city by the Great Northern Railway
Co., who are the owners OF the ground.
Ten years ago the Great Northern
company gave the Chautauqua railway
people permission to use their land for
the purpose of railway tracks and depot
for an indefinite period, in considera-
ton of the payment of the Chautauqua
people to them of IS, the Great North
ern reserving the right to cancel the
agreement at any time. Notice has
been served under date of July for
the buildings and tracks to be removed
from the Great Northern ground within
ninety days from the date of notice.
The notice is served on Edgar La
Rue, Frank Palmer, r. j.. Chamberlin,
M. H. Brennan, and the Devils Lake
& Chautauqua Transfer Railway Co.
Mr. LaRue states that the company
has no plans so far as to the future
course of the Chautauqua railway.
The depot has heretofore been con-
located opposite the Great
Northern depot, and there were no |
crossings necessary. The Great North |
