Railroad News
no Street CAR
Line TO DILWORTH
1T WILL NOT BE BUILT UNTIL
AFTER EMPLOYEES HAVE MOVED
TO THE NEW TOWN WHEN THE
DILWoRTH SPECIAL CEASES TO
RUN, NEXT YEAR.

The Forum has ii from the most re-
liable authority that the Fargo Moor
head Street Railway Co, will not en-
deavor to construct a line to Dilworh
even after the n. p. ceases to run its
Dilworth special. This comes from
reliable authority and means that the
workmen who are employed over at
Dilworth In year from now win all
be living over there or else be nut
to a great inconvenience.
1t is stated that the street car COM
pany does not believe that a line from
Fargo TO Dilworth would be a paying
Investment unless there are more peo-
pie living in DilwOrth. With an in
crease in the population of the new
t-wn would come new business houses
AMI new business houses would bring
mere people to the town. After these
have been located and the town gets
tn be Of good size the street car COM
pany will bui9i the line, but not until
then.
There are at the present time $50
hands employed in the shops at Dill
worth and the greater number of these
are men with families. There are also
O. large numl,ec of men employed i'm
tUe cff1ces Of the company, which are
lctatei there, and they are mostly
men o. families, sHG the majority OF
them reside either in this city or Moo
lt az, so that f they are all Obliged TO
move from the twJ cities 1t will mean
a big loss.

COURTS Are RESTING

However, another case is set for to-
morrow when 1t is expected that the

In the county court Judge Hanson

matters relating to probate work de-
manded his attention, but no actual
actions were heard. The police had
a light day last night and yesterday

HOTEL CHANGED HANDS
Anderson & Osteraas Purchase the Old
Viking Hotel, One of the Land.
marks of the City.

A deed was filed in the office of the
register of deeds of Cass county TODAY
for the transfer of the old Viking ho-
tel located at 420 Broadway, adjacent
to the Great Northern tracks.
Mike Hogan and John Gilbertson,
who have controlled the old hostelry
for number of years, have sold out
their interests to N. j. Osteraas and
E. A. Anderson. The consideration is
not named, but is understood to be
several thousand dollars.
The old Viking hotel is one of the
landmarks of the city and has been
popular with railroad men for a num-
Der of years. 1t was until recently
called the Viking, but the erection of
"a much finer structure across the street
usurped the name, and since that time
the hotel has gone under the name of
Old Viking.
The new owners have already as
sumed the management of the house.
They will continue to conduct it along
the same practical business lines that
the former proprietors used so sue
cessfully. Both of the new landlords
are well known in the city.

POINTERS.

The great secret OF stewing fruit is
TO avoid overstewing, and another T.
10 stew fruit -irup. A pound ~
sugar to pint of water makes an ex-
cellent strip. A copper or enameled
pan should be used Put sugar and
water in and allow it TO boil FIVE min
utes. then place the fruit in and re-
move as soon as soft.
Brooms should never stand on the
ground. Drive couple of brass head
ed nails about four and one-half inches
apart into the wall, and on these hang
the broom, head upward. Washing the
bristles occasionally in soapsuds will
not only clean but also tougher them
and thus make the broom last longer.
Shake out the water and then hang,
bristles upward. to dry.

SNOW DRIFTING.
The PLOWS OUT
THE cASSELToN AND SOUTH
WESTERN BRANCHES OF THE
NORTHERN PACIFIC ExPER.
FENCED SOME TROUBLE DURING
LAST NIGHT.

You would not think" said Superin-
tendent Burt this morning 10 The Fo-
rum, that here would be any ne ssity
for snow plows last night and yet
there was, and today we have one pillow
at work on the Casselton line and an
other on the Southwestern line
Last night there was a heavy wind
blowing and while there was no storm
the snow drifted very much and we
had to order out the plows."
These two lines are pretty hard to
handle for the railroad men. There
are SO many bad narrow cuts on them
and the snow sometimes almost fills
these cuts full and a train can very
easily get stuck therein. During the
last heavy snow storm passenger
train on each OF these lines was stuck
in the drifts and at least one of them
was tied up for thirty-six hours. How
ever the Northern Pacific company
has been enabled to give mighty good
service on the road notwithstanding
these drawbacks.

the same. Even the children are all

TO BE SMALLER
TAXES ARE COMING IN RAPIDLY
AT THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY

EY rs EXPECTED TO BE SMALL
Err THIS YEAR.

This morning the lobby in the office
Of Egbert Gilbertson, county treasurer.
was filed with people paging their
taxes before the time of delinquency
commences. The day was the busiest
one for counter work that the new
staff of deputies has had.
The tax collection this year is ex-
pected to be smaller than before. In
the case OF every individual the amount
of his taxes have been materially re-
duced for the year, under that for
the same property last year.
The state board of tax levy the
county board and the school boards
have all asked less money this year in
taxes than last year. The decrease
will amount to a little over IL per
cent all told. Many people have Won
dered why their taxes were lower this
year than last, and have made inuuir-
les regarding the same.
