local people who have just returned
from Chicago, and also from reports
said to be current in the large cities of
territory through which such through
trains would pass. The Northwestern
lines in Iowa, Minnesota and the Da.
kotas would prove heavy feeders tor a
through train service to points on the
northern Pacific coast, and it is be-
lieved by the railroad people that such
a proposition would be paying one.
In detail, it is understood the plans
are to run the trains from Chicago to
Alton, Ia, and from that place to HUI
ron, and thence through Redfeld and
Aberdeen to Oakes, N. D.. where they
would be transferred to the Northern
Pacific line and run to Jamestown,
where they would be transferred to
the main line west through Bismarck
to the coast. In South Dakota stops
would be made at Centerville, Salem,
Huron, Redfield and Aberdeen, and at
these places passengers from Yankton,
Sioux Falls, Brookings, Watertown,
Pierre, Faulkton and Gettysburg and
intermediate points would be permitted
to take the fast trains. In Iowa and
Minnesota many towns on the North
western line by the installation of such
service would be greatly convenienced.
Such a change would undoubtedly
make quite a change in present sched-
ules effective here. It would, it is
said, mean the arrival and departure
each way every day of two coast trains,
in addition to a local passenger train
and accommodation freights, thus pro-
viding the most convenient accommoda-
tions for going in either direction on
the lines at almost every time of the
day."

commencement Week.

This is commencement week. TIE
baccalaureate sermon came last Sunday
evening in the Methodist church, when
Rev. B. G. jackson addressed the Glass
of 1911 and the large audience that
had come to listen to the sermon. The
theme of the speakers remarks were
based on the words as found in Phil.
4:11-12, and the lessons from it were
presented in the PASTORS most pleasing
style. The Choral Club gave some ex-
cellent music here, and the rendition
of the .HalleIujah Chorus Of the Mes
siah" was very creditable indeed.
Tonight will come the class play,
"Ellen's Elopement, /" and tomorrow
evening will come the commencement
exercises. Fourteen of our young
people are in the graduating class this
year, one Of the largest ever turned
out Of our high school.

An Appreciation.

We, the undersigned committee, in
behalf of the Woman's Relief Corps
desire to voice our appreciation of the
services rendered by the Oakes Cadets
in the ceremonies of Memorial Day, as
we'll as in the seryic IS of Memorial
Sabbath. Their training under the
leadership of Mr.. Jackson, and the
part they took in the observance of
the day added much to the impressive
ness of the occasion.
We feel very grateful to the Choral
Club for the music rendered at the
services on Sunday, and desire to
thank the men for the autos furnished
in taking the Sons of Veterans and Re-
lief Corps to the cemetery on Decora-
tion Day.

Chorals Have Picnic.

The first annual picnic of the Oakes
Choral Club was held on Monday eve
ming at "Bear Creek Falls" Qf you
want to see the falls get on the rail-
road bridge and fall off, The men,
bers and some invited guests met at
the home of Miss 10. Peterson at six
o'clock and laden with luncheon they
headed up the N. P. tracks for the
falls" where on natures green lap
the luncheon was spread. The walk
appeared to help the appetites and the
sandwiches, eggs, pickles, olives, ice
cream and cake disappeared rapidly
and the late comers Jared slimly- but
were rewarded for their trip by the
romantic sights of the "Falls." After
luncheon the forty who had gathered,
enjoyed pull away, foot races, ball
catching, fishing or the huge bonfire.
They got back to Oakes just in time to
avoid the rain.
The Choral Club is very creditable
organization. It is composed of the
musically inclined of the city and num-
bers rty-eight members. Those who
attended church Sunday morning and
evening had an excellent chance to
hear this organization, and all hope to
hear it oftener. 1t has helped many Of
our young people in singing and music,
something that should be cultivated in
every community. The Choral Club
should be encouraged.

0AKES GETS GOOD
SERVICE TO COAST
The Northwestern Northern
Pacific Agreement Puts
Us on Main Feeder.
Sleeper Accommodations Now
Run from Omaha to. Con-
meet at Jamestown.

The traffic arrangement now on be-
tween the Northwestern and Northern
Pacific lines gives Oakes the advantage
of splendid train service on these
roads in all directions. The sleeper
accommodations now extend fromO Omaha
to jamestown, the new arrangement
going into effect Monday, when the
sleeper went through to jamestown.
This service will be daily. Heretofore,
the service only went far as Oakes on
Sunday.
There has been no change as yet in
the train schedule on either of the lines,
but if reports in the daily press are to
be believed the schedule will be some
what faster, as the service is made to
compete with the installation of the
new through service on the Milwaukee
and Puget Sound through Aberdeen.
There has been an arrangement for
some time between the Northwestern
and Northern Pacific for the passenger
traffic to the coast. AS a result there
is heavy transfer at Oakes each day,
both north and south.
One report from Spokane was to the
effect that Hill had lost control of the
Northern Pacific, and that the latter
line is now under control of the North
western interests. Another report
from Chicago was to the effect that
the Northern Pacific would run its
North Coast Limited trains through to
Chicago on the Northwestern tracks.
Since the Milwaukee line runs from
Chicago, and is cutting into the Pacific
coast business it is reasonable to be-
lieve that the competing lines would
necessarily have to do something in
order to keep its business.
sInregard to the new service through
here the Aberdeen News of last Friday
said:
"That the Northern
Pacific agreement is to culminate in
fast train service from Chicago through
Iowa and South Dakota points to
jamestown, N. D., and thence over
the Northern Pacific to the coast is the
information which is brought here by
