new buildings, and improvements to
others, put up in Moorhead this year, I"
said Atty. J.. M. Witherow today.
THE new hotel will mean 100000

have been in the line of new homes,
several of them of the more preten-
tious kind. l.. A. Huntoon's new and
uniquely designed new home for in
stance. There has been great deal
done in the way of raising houses and
installing cement block foundations
by men of the laboring classes, which
of course indicates more Lerlnanencv.
This year very little has been done
in the way Of business buildings, tie
Fridlund building and the new adj
dition to the Empire building. A
prominent Improvement which indi-
Gates advancement and the desire for
more comfortable living is the con-
struction Of the several lateral sew
ers which is now in progress at a
cost of $15000--all of them having
been petitioned for by owners of homes
along the lines. of the Improvement
which cover sixteen blocks.
Also, along a similar line Of inn
provement, before the season ends,
there will have been constructed new
concrete street crossings and cement
tile sidewalks to the value of $25,000."

Oh YOU POTATOES

his crop from 800 acres of potatoes,
Mr.. Altenbernd is now marketing his

range about rs cents bushel for
the best of eating stock. Three cars
were sold in Moorhead yesterday aft

MANDAN TRAINMEN
CONFER With PRES.
Continued From Page One.

est possible manner, he was perhaps
more interested in the figures and ar
guments presented by the men from
Mercer county, for they were on the
ground where the business originates,
and many were the questions he piled
them with regarding general condi-
lions in their territory.
In answer to the arguments pre-
scented Mr.. Elliott called attention to
the loss in gross receipts Of the North
ern Pacific. which for the last fiscal
year ending June 80 had decreased
$lO,OOO.OOO and for the first six weeks
since July i the decrease had been
over $1,oo0,000. While the roads had
been able to some extent to reduce OBJ
Grating expenses, they could not near
ly approach the loss in revenues. At
the same time wages had not been de-
creased, there had been an actual in
crease in some of the branches OF
employees. All told. the conditions. Mr.
Elliott declared, were not favorable to
the extension of railroad work. When
asked If the building of feeders which
would develop new business would not
In a measure operate to overcome the
losses in revenues, Mr.. Elliott stated
that branch lines seldom paid: that
the Northern Pacific had several
branches which were being operated
at loss and 1t was the fear that this
north branch would come in that class.
especially If they were compelled to
maintain a daily service, that had
tended to delay its completion. Fur
Their, he declared that conditions were
not such as would encourage invest
ment in railroad securities. 1t would
cost in the neighborhood of 5000. 600 To
complete the line, and .as president OF
the road his first duty was to the IA
600 stockholders and 10000 bondhold
ers, whose interests he was bound ia
protect.
President Elliott took many notes OF
the statements made by the members
Of the delegation, and appeared very
anxious for all the information nos
sible. As he left the gentlemen Al
Dickinson he said that he was very
poor ''proniser" but he did promise to
give the whole matter his careful con.
sideration, and intimated that If the
work was started 1t would be within
the next two weeks.
The Mandan and Stanton men AL
returned home last night and feel very
much encouraged over the situation
and have hopes that after digestins
the information supplied, Presiden-
Elliott and his associates will decid,
on completing the work this fall.
