spect TO the business of the road.
A number of applications have been
received for the opening OF stations
over the state. A good many stations
were closed last fall on account Of a
failing of in business but the new
law passed by the last legislature re-
duced the minimum amount Of bust
ness to be done and under the law
there are, it is stated, number of sta
tons which will have to be opened.
Marmarth on the Milwaukee wants
the company to build a viaduct under

a rather large viaduct built, in fact
large enough to allow a load of hay

they. are already preparing plans for
the viaduct.
Buford kicks on the train service
there, claiming that it is required that
a person from that part Of the county
must spend two days at Williston, the
county seat whenever he has occasion
to transact business there. The Blu
fordites. headed by "Old Bill" Mumby
think that IL trains and 4 were sched-
uled to stop there their difficulty
would be about solved 1t is probable
however, that the schedule of the
"dinky," a local passenger train will
be so arranged that it will be possible
for the people living "at or near Blu
ford" can go to the county seat in the
morning, transact their business and
return to their homes in the evening.

Two LEAVING FARGO
Two of the citys Best Known Young
Men Leave Fargo and Engage in
Business in Other Fields.

H. ]. Kenner, who for over year
has been actively engaged in news
paper advertising work in the city,
left Fargo yesterday afternoon for Chi
cago, where he will again make his
home with his parents.
Mr.. Kenner was for a year assistant
advertising manager Of The Forum
and has been advertising manager for
The Courier News. He made many
friends during his stay in Fargo.
Since coming to Fargo Mr.. Kenner
has been prominent in Y. M. CA. and
church work and has been actively en-
gagged in work along these two lines.
He will represent the Northern Inn
migration association of Fargo, in the
Illinois field, and will have his head
quarters in Chicago.
Anheier Leaves.
Fargo suffers the loss Of another ne

Will Use OIL ON
G. N. engines
PRESIDENT HILL DECIDES TO
ADOPT INNOVATION IN RAIL
RoADING-WILL SAVE MUCH
TRoU5LE-oIL REMOVES ALL
DANGER FROM SPARKS.

One hundred and fifteen locomotives
on the Great Northern line will have
their CRATES taken out and oil-burn-
ing CRATES put in, that crude oil may
be burned for fuel The decision of
the road to make the change is of
great Importance to lumbermen of
Minneapolis, to whom the disastrous
western forest fires of last year
brought much concern and serious
losses. The federal government has
been working with the railroads on
the theory that oil burning locomo-
tives, operating through the heavy
forested regions of the western states
would reduce the fire risk very ma
terially
Pres. Louis w. Hill. in recent west
ern trips, studied the subject closely.
Although forest fires originate from
many causes, 1t was the opinion of the
government experts that a margin of
safety that would be important could
be obtained il the railroads used no
coal burners through the forests.
AS matter of careful considera-
ton of the matter, the Great Northern
Is now at work on storage plant at
Everett, Wash. which will take care
of 100000 gallons of crude oil,
which will be brought up in ships
from California.
President Hill also studied the mat
ter of economy and has found that IL
will be an advantage from that stand
point to use fuel oil. The plan will
mean the replacing of the CRATES of
the many locomotives and other
changes.
Minneapolis lumbermen were affect
ed last year by the disastrous forest
fires in washington, which caused
loss of life and which the government
forestry experts have estimated, de-
stroyed 100000 feet of timber.
In the use Of oil by locomotives,
no sparks are given off. In dry sea-
sons the danger of fires from this
source, which is not so serious in
the wet seasons, become greater and
the proposition of fires that start from
that cause rises materially.
The new oilburning locomotives
will be put into commission as fast
as they can be overhauled and made
serviceable.

]. CAMPBELL WHITE
TELLS OF MOVEMENT
GREAT CROWD HEARD ONE OF
WORLDS GREATEST RELIGIOUS
WORKERS AT cETHsEMANE
CATHEDRAL LAST EVENING
SURPRISING FIGURES.

DR.. j. Campbell White of New York,
one of the great leaders in connection
with the Laymen's Missionary move
ment, occupied the pulpit at the Epis-
copal church last evening and he was
greeted by congregation which filled
the sacred edifice to overlooking.
Preceding the great address by Mr.
White, the usual evening service was
conducted by Dean bowling Accom-
panying Dean Bowling, with seats re-
served for them in the choir stalls,
were J. Campbell White, Secretary
Wolf Of the Y. M. c. A. and the Rev
DR.. Beard OF the First Conversational
church. Intense interest was displayed
by the large congregation and there
was added impressiveness at the sight
of the unrobed laymen marching in
the van of the white robed choristers
as they emerged from the choir room
singing for the professional the old
missionary hymn, o Zion Haste, Thy
Mission High Fulfilling.
The great congregation joined heart
lily in the responses and the singing,
and the most devout attention was
paid to Mr.. White, who made the adj
dress, occupying the pulpit for the
purpose. He said 1t was not to be exS
pected that with the present mission
airy movement all the heather In the
world would be converted within this
generation. He, however, believed it
possible to complete the evangelization
of the world.
1t was being done now a great deal
more rapidly than ever before, and all
because there was system in the work.
If every church member before him
and all throughout this country would
give only 81 each a year it would not
be long before Christ and His kingdom
would be understood in all lands and
by every people. Since the organiza-
ton of the Laymen's Missionary move
ment, four years ago, aid to missions
had been materially increased every
year. He cited what could be done in
the work of evangelization and edu-
cation by a congregation Of 500 per-
sons. subscribing 81 a year.
Mr.. White cited many figures which
were astounding to many of his hear
ers and at the same time very inter-
esting from the standpoint of illustrat.
ing the scope of missionary work to-
day. He told of the wonderful work
which has been done and is in progress
in Korea, India and China. He said
Christ had brought redemption to the
world, but not more than half the
people in the whole world knew of it,
and he pointed out that God expected
that those who had been blessed should
give of their time and means to help
the many millions who had not been
so blessed. Mr.. White is a convincing
speaker and his words last night, it is
sure, will be productive of much good
for it was plainly visible that there
was an awakening.
During the taking of the offertory,
the entire proceeds Of which were de-
voted to the great society represented
by Mr.. White, the choir sang Jerusa-
lem, an anthem by Henry Parker.

head of the band of laborers, consult
ed legal authority in this city yester-
day and threatens to bring action to
recover SIP paid the employment
agency in fees for their employment,
unless the men are put to work i'm
mediately.
Pappas claims that the men came
from the twin cities the latter part of
March and that their contract provid-
ed for work by April /. He states
that the men have laid around Grand
Forks since then and only a few of
them have been put to work and the
immediate prospects for commencing
labor look dim. He said some of the
men had little or no money, the cap
ital Of several being less than a dol
lar, and that they were subsisting on
crackers and other "delicacies" pur-
chased with their skinny money sup
ply. Pappas further told his legal
counsel that some Of the men had no
place to sleep, as the bunk cars as
signed them were not adequate and
some of them were working at the P.
A. tower and at Powell, who were
entirely without facilities. A letter
asking for the return of his $112,
which was paid as an employment fee
for the twenty eight men, and if the
company does not settle Pappas will
begin suit Immediately.
"We will be blacklisted on the en-
tire system if our money is returned"
he said, but further than his state
ment this could not be verified.
The Railroad Side.
The railroad officials claim that the
contract provided that the laborers
were to go to work on or about April
/. and this was verified by the pro-
duction Of one of the contracts. They
further say that they cannot put the
men to work until the frost is out of
the ground and there is something for
them to do. The company has fur
nished the men with bunk cars so they
can have a place to stay and are do
ing all they can to make the Iaborers
comfortable.
"The men are being put to work as
fast as possible" said an official last
night. Yesterday quite a number
were started out in service and Mon
day a number of others will be sent
along the line. We are not entirely to
blame for the employment company's
negligence and will do everything in
our power to see that the men do not
suffer"

HILL HAS HAD
MOVE IN sight
FOR TWO YEARS

Minot, ". D., April 10.-That James
j. Hill has had in view for fully two
years and possibly more the connec-
ton between the Great Northern and
the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad is
the opinion of railroad experts who
have watched the situation and who
have been in position to get informa-
ton at first hand.
1t is stated that one of the main
purposes of the Minot-Fargo cutoff of
the Great Northern and also the Minot-
Crosby line was to secure a direct con-
nection with the Grand Trunk Pacific
railroad and give direct route from
Regina to the twin cities and Chicago.
No one knew just at the time these
two contracts were let just what was
their significance. That is, no one,
except those who were on the inside.
Now 1t develops that the Minot-Fargo
cutoff and the Minot- Crosby line had
a very important object, and that
mainly was to secure the most direct
route between the great wheat grow
ing district in Saskatchewan and the
eastern markets.
"Mr. Hill is most far-sighted rail-
Road man." said railroad man today
livery often no one knows just what
plans are in his head. The public
very often misconstrues what he is
doing, but when all his plans begin
to unfold, the people wonder why they
did not understand before"
Contract Is Let.
The first important step in the
bringing of the Grand Trunk Pacific
railroad into Minot has just taken
place in the letting of the contract
to construct the railroad from Re-
gina to the United States boundary,
twelve miles east of Portal.
This contract has just been let and
It sets at rest the doubts that have
been in the minds Of . some people
that this talk of the Grand Trunk
Pacific has merely been hotair. The
fact of the matter is, that the Grand
Trunk Pacific has demonstrated the
truth of the officials of the road when
they said that the railroad was COM
ing into Minot.
It is probable that the Great North
ern railroad will run its Crosby line
to connect with the Grand Trunk at
the point east of Portal. This will
give the Grand Trunk Pacific the most
direct line from Regina to the twin
cities. A glance at the map will show
that the line from Regina through
Crosby, Minot and Fargo to the twin
cities is almost an air lines

This production is being advertis-
