Mrs. II. E. .Seversen of This
City Succumbs After Only
a Few Days Illness.
Mrs. Sylvanus Waite of Guelph
Joins the Innumerable
Throng as Unexpectedly.
Mrs. H. E. seversen.

The sudden illness and death of Mrs.
H. E. Seversen was surprise and
shock to the entire community. Her
serious illness dated from last Friday
afternoon, and after the doctor had
made diagnosis it was known that the
unfortunate woman had very serious
case of bowel and kidney trouble. An
operation was advised at once by the
attending physician, but not until Mon
day night would the patient submit to
the ordeal of the knife. She was re-
moved to the Oakes Hospital on Tues
day morning, and the operation per-
formed. She did not again regain
consciousness and passed away at five
minutes of six in the evening.
Sadie Sanderson Seversen was a
native of Norway, being born at Gud-
brandan on March 20, 1860. At the age
of nineteen she came to America and
settled in Minneapolis, where she was
married on May %, 1895, to H. E.
Severson in that city. In 1900 the
family moved to Aberdeen, where Mr..
and Mrs. Seversen followed their trade
as laundrymen, until they came here to
take charge of the mechanical end of
the Oakes Steam Laundry in 1903.
Here they have continued to reside
since with the exception of about a
year they were employed at Enderlin.
The past two years Mr.. Seversen has
owned the laundry here. Through all
his business career his wife has been
his faithful helpmeet. She was quiet
and unassuming and always Industrious
in her work. She will be much missed
by her husband and three children, one
girl and two boys-Evelyn, Leonard
and Sherbet.
The funeral will be held from the
Norwegian Lutheran church tomorrow
(Friday) afternoon, services being con-

shocked, as the sad news of her passing
away was not expected by anyone. By

to help her friends and neighbors in
time of trouble and sorrow, meyer any,
one more ready with willing hands and

a School Day Romance.

Word comes from California of the
marriage of couple of former Dickey
county young people, Heber Wheeler
Eaton and Pearl Leona McCarty. The
San Jose, paper from which the item is
CLEANED referred to the event as the cul-
mination Of q school day romance and
the recollections Of local people bear
out this idea.
| The marriage took place Japuary q,
at the N. E. church in San Jose il the
presence OF few friends after which
the couple left for Santa Barbara for a
visit with the groom's parents, Prof.
and Mrs. H. F. Eaton who went from
Oakes few weeks ago to spend the
winter on the coast.
Both bride and groom were well
known here, in the earlier days. Mr..
Eaton lived with his parents on the big
i Eaton ranch and Miss McCarty lived in
Ludden and as a boy and girl they
were schoolmates and swung their
books and plucked crocuses along the
prairie paths that led not only to school
but to friendship, comradeship and love.
Heber has been more or less of q
wanderer and has engaged in business
in the twin cities and at various points
in the west, even spending some time
in Japan.
Miss McCarty, who is sister of Mrs.
Will Mott of Ludden. was employed for
several years as stenographer in
Minneapolis and recently went to San
Francisco.
Thus fate brought their paths, after
many windings, together once more,
out at. the golden gate, far from child
hoods scenes and the many loca-

them that they live happy ever after =

N. P. LIKELY TO
RUN FROM CAKES
Surveyors Have Run as Far as
Missouri River West From
Oakes and Edgeley.
Plan Is to Parallel. Its Own
Main Line and Get More
Level Road Bed.

A surveying party in the employ of
the Northern Pacific railroad is at work
between Oakes and Edgeley headed for
misplace and was seen by local busi-
ness man last week. This is. doubtless
prelimina ry survey and the fact Of
having a party camped on the snow
, and working at this season indicates
that the N. P. is in earnest and mean
to push their plans for new mileage
and it's stated on good authority that
they intend to build more miles of new
road in North Dakota in 1910 than any
previous year.
The work that this surveying party
is engaged in is renewal or continue
tion of an old scheme-a cut off on the
main line to the coast. The route pro-
posed appears to be from Oakes to
Edgeley, then nearly straight west
through Emmons, Morton, Hettinger
and Billings counties into Montana,
joining the old line at Forsythe. Three
valuable advantages would be gained,
considerably shorter route between
Twin CiJies and the coast, line that
would divide the business of the new
country in the southwestern part of
the state with the Milwaukee and better
grades for their heavy through trains
both freight and passenger. This
would then become the main line for
all through business. Z
It is not known if any change Of
route east of Oakes is in contempla-
tion or not but it seems improbable
that there would be any, merely the
improvement of the road to meet the
requirements of the heavier traffic.
4 It is not claimed that this new line il
assured. The plans of railroads are not
easily learned in advance but the scheme
is certainly plausible and looks prob:
able in view of the points to be gained
and the past and present actions Of the
N. P. people About two years ago
they did some preliminary work on a
cutoff from Oakes to some point on the
old line in Kidder county, probably
Dawson, but was abandoned for the
time. This long cutoff would accom-
plish much more than the shorter one
could have done and it would not be at
all unreasonable to expect this new
line to become a realization within a
year or eighteen months.
This line would mean much to Oakes
as we are located right for division
point. The company bought up good
sized tract in the .'Y'' north of the
city a long time ago that gives them
good facilities for sidetracks, depot,
round houses, shops or any institutions
that the operating department of the
road may deem necessary. The trade
that would be cut off by the locating
of a new station to the northwest
would be inconsiderable, in fact every
new village means added business te
town that has reached the size Of
Oakes more distinctly than ever ar
4 important trade center with railroad
facilities excelled by no point in either
