New Leipzig, n. D., April ITO
The Forum The Milwaukee railroad
has come to the relief of the farmers
of this part of Morton county In the
matter of seed grain. 1t has made
arrangements with an elevator COM
| pany to furnish seed to the farmers
on the security of joint note to be
signed by communities Of twenty
farmers or more. A public. meeting of
the farmers of this vicinity was called
for last Saturday in the operahouse in
| New Leipzig, to discuss the matter,
and there was big attendance Of
farmers, and before the close of the
day forty-four farmers had made APP
plication, and one more community OF
farmers residing near Selma, is yet
to make application. The farmers
used their utmost discretion in get
ting the lists of signers, and it is be-
lieved that all will work out well. A
lien is also to be taken on the crop
and the elevator company will first
have to exhaust every resource to
collect on this lien, before 1t can come
onto the signers of this note This

and the company is freely commended
for it's enterprise. All told. fully six
ty-five farmers tributary to New
Leipzig will be supplied with all or
part of the grain they need and a big
acreage Of crop is now assured, which
In turn should mean big grain trade

Things are certainly shaping them
selves most favorably for New Leip-
zig. The latest bit Of good news for
the town is the information that the
Milwaukee road has agreed to furnish
all the material for a bridge over the
Cannon Ball river south OF New Leip-
zig, and the long hoped for bridge win
soon be reality.
The Importance Of this bridge to
New Leipzig can scarcely be over
estimated. Probably its most promis-
ing territory lies to the south from
where 1t draws trade a distance OF
fully twenty miles. But the one OBJ
stacle was the Cannon Ball river
which at all times is difficult to cross
with load, and at times cuts off
travel altogether. New Leipzig viii
gain an immense trade from the south.
Much praise is extended to the NIL
waukee company for its liberal policy
to the town in the matter of local
improvements. Already it is drilling
a well for the town and now it is to
build bridge also. Much credit IS al
so due to the Milwaukee's local agent,
w c. Joice, who has identified him
self with the best interests of the town. |
and has had a prominent part in get
ting his company to make these much |
needed improvements.
New Leipzig will now soon be an
Incorporated village. The petition to |
pave the village incorporated has been |
aioWed and the remaining steps to /
that end will be taken very soon. In
this connection New Leipzig is en-
debted to, States Attorney Bizing and
20 Commissioners Ellison. The latter
ls commissioner from another district,
but was in New Leipzig recently, and
was enthusiastic over it and its peo-
pie, and promised to do all in his pow
er to promote the interests OF the town.
Incorporation will mean many local
and public work for the
town.
