New Depot for Now Rockford.

New Rockford.-That this city will
have one Of the finest union depots in
the state is now foregone conclusion.
as one of the leading business men,
who was in the cities few days ago,
was shown the plans and specifica-
tions for the new structure.
The new union depot will be located,
according to the plat viewed, just
about at the third switch south OF the
present Northern Pacific depot and
south Of the present slough, which will
be filled in and used for the Dispatch
ers, trainmasters, ETC., and will have a
wide, vitrfied brick pavement entirely
around it.
1t is probable that the N. P. will
move its present passenger station two
blocks farther south, where it will be
used entirely for freight purposes.
New Rockford people are feeling jub-
liant over this late turn of affairs in
the depot line and see a great future
ahead for the city when the Fargo
Minot division of the G. N. is in active
operation.
