RAILWAY DELAYED
TO TOWN OF FAITH

Pierre. S. D., Oct. 25.-The people
of the town of Faith are beginning to
lose faith in the promise of the st.
Paul road that it would be operating
the Fox Ridge line into tina town be-
fore winter. The rails have been laid
as far as Eagle Butte. 20 miles east
of Dupree and so miles east of Faith.
The work was completed to thai point
about h first of October. Though
there Is yet time to get in several miles
more of track before winter. the Faith
papers say that the townsite agents
of h road have received notice that
Eagle Butte is to be the terminus of
the line for this year. If the report is
true, the sending of supplies to the
new town will be a serious proposition
in the winter.
