roads return to the system which was
in use for many years until the re-
strictive measures were adopted by
the roads, which materially reduces
the time for work of the salesman at
a station.
The Travellers Protective association
and the United Commercial Travellers
in the south have formally Joined
hands in making a fight for the old
system.
Not long ago Georgia judge got
on a train. He had mileage ticket
which he had bought and paid for. He
went to the ticket Office, had it ex-
changed for a ticket to a station a
short distance away, where he ex-
pected to meet some men. When he
reached the station the men were just
getting on the same train and he
joined them and offered his mileage
to the conductor, but it was turned
down, and he persisted in his refusal
to pay the money and was elected
from the train. A damage suit is now
pending and travellers of all descrip-
tions are awaiting the result with
much interest.

sufficiently improved to induce in
vestors TO back new projects, and UNI
certainty as to the prospects of future
traffic has caused the suspension of
work already started and prevented
other plans for new work being car
ried OUT.
Official returns from nearly all the
railroads of the United States, supple
mented by private records and figures
furnished by the state railway COM
missions; show that approximately
4,122 miles of new main tracks were
built in the United States during the
calendar year of 1910. as compared
with 3,74S miles during 1909. The
1909 record was over 500 miles more
than the preceding year, which was the
smallest since 1897.
Many of the larger railroads which
are included in this list have only add
ed new mileage for work started the
previous year, and with few excep-
tons no new work of importance has
been started.
Considerable progress has been
made during the year in making per-
manent improvements to road beds to
carry heavier stock, strengthening
alignment and reducing grades. Many
Of the strongest railroads have reduced
construction to the minimum,

A MEMORIAL FOR
SENATOR JOHNSON

Bismarck, n. D., Jan. 16.-Feb. l
has been designated by the joint COM
mittee Of the senate and house Of
representatives Of the legislature to
commemorate the death of the late
Martin N. Johnson, United States sem
ator from North Dakota. The MEM
orial services by the legislative assem-
bly, will take place at o'clock in the
afternoon of that day, which falls on
Wednesday.
Justice Spalding of the state SUI
preme court has been asked to deliver
the principal address, which he has
consented to do. The occasion will
probably be marked by numerous ap-
propriate resolutions drawn by both
houses in token of the esteem in
which the departed statesman was held
by the people of his state and in whose
service he was at the time of his
death. Other remarks, supplementing
the comments of Justice SpaIding are
expected to be in order from friends
and eminent speakers throughout the
state. The services will be held in
the chamber OF the house, the two
branches Of the legislature meeting in
Joint session.

waukee was extended another season
as indicated by the preliminary sur
vey, it would give the farmers of south
eastern Billings county a splendid out
let for their grain. The settlers around
Midway are about half way between
the Northern Pacific and the coast line
OF the Milwaukee, haul of some
twenty-five miles to market, and they
are nearly this distance west of New
England, and therefore are in much
need of new railroad facilities.
The Northern Pacific survey, made
over year ago, it will be remembered
continuing west from Mott, runs few
miles south of New England and south
OF the Rainy and Chalk buttes and on
to the Little Missouri river at Mar
marth. The N. p is planning a per-
manent line through this territory and
there is no question about the road
being built sooner or later. 1t also
looks as though the Milwaukee was
going to extend from New England.
Probably good deal depends upon
the condition OF the money market
and legislation as to what is done the
coming season. Pres. j. J. Hin, a short
time ago, announced in New York that
there would be very little new rail-
road building this year. Another thing
which may have some bearing upon
railroad construction southwest of
Dickinson in 1911, is the county divis
ion propositions in Billings. Questions
are pending in the courts which may
require some time to settle.
Just now railroad business is very
quiet. The roads have just given the
engineers a 10 per cent raise and il is
understood that the firemen also came
in for an increase Legislation is
pending which intimidates railroad
capital, and it seems to be the opinion
of many of the railroad officials that
there will be very little doing for /
year or two. The 1911 crops are likely
to influence the roads somewhat in
the prosecution of new work and this
cannot be determined until the middle
of the coming summer.

SURVEYORS SOUTH

MILWAUKEE CREW NEAR MID
WAY, NORTH AND WEST OF
CHALK 5UTTES.

Dickinson. N. D.. Jan. 16-The home
steaders in the vicinity of Midway,
some twenty miles west of New Eng
land, are deeply interested in the work
Of the Milwaukee surveyors. For some
weeks a crew Of eight or ten men have
been running lines along the northern
tier OF sections in township 1876, a few
miles north of the West Rainy and
Just north Of the West Chalk butte.
The report Is that the Milwaukee
surveyors have found an easy grade
and that the course or the line after
passing the Chalk buttes will be south
west, intersecting with the coast line
of the Milwaukee at a point near Ives

Saturday in House.

Bismarck, n. D., Jan. 16.-As to how
stamps should be procured by the leg
islators was the main topic under
discussion in the house of representa-
tives. Rep. A. M. Thompson of Minot
introduced a resolution providing that
the secretary OF state be required to
supply the members of the house with
such postage stamps as they may need
during the session. Immediately a
debate started with Mr.. Price of Cass
in favor of the resolution. He de-
clared that in his opinion the
matter of postage was part Of the
necessary expense entailed and that
a resolution on the subject was in
keeping and necessary.
Opposed to the resolution was Mr..
Ployhar, who wanted limit placed
on the amount of postage that should
be used during the session. He cited
the instance Of two years ago when
$4,000 had been spent in the house
alone.
Mr.. Thompson moved that hte reso
luton be adopted, but Mr.. Ployhar
made an amendment to the motion
which sent the affair to the committee
on expenditures. The committee will
meet this afternoon and the outcome
will probably be reported tomorrow
Mr.. Sorlie was one of the advocates
Of the resolution being sent to the
committee as he stated he felt the
matter was of sufficient consequence
to warrant such action.
BY a second resolution which was
adopted the committee on agriculture
was made a special committee to at
tend the convention Of the Tri- State
Grain Growers association in Fargo
Jan. 16 to 10. The resolution was in.
troduced by Rep. Jerry Shea of Nc.
Lean county, a nephew Of Y. s. Mar.
shall James Shea of Fargo.
Representative Putnam, chairman o
the apportionment, presented anothei
resolution which provided for the pub
lication of the statistics on the appro
tionment question.
1t was announced that meetin,
of the committee on rules would b,

THEY ARE TIRED OF THE PRES
EMIT WAY THAT MILEAGE BOOKS
ARE HANDLED BY THE RAIL
ROADS AND ARE MAKING A DE-
CIDED KICK.

There appears to be a good deal of
agitation all over the country just now
for return to the old system of
handling mileage books and in sew
eral of the states petitions have been
presented to the railroads, as well as
the legislatures asking for relief from
the present rather intricate way OF
handling the 1O00-mile book.
Recently in the supreme court of
North Carolina there was a decision
that was favorable to a return to the
old system.
travelling man for want of time did
not exchange his mileage for a ticket
at the station, later presented his
mileage book to the conductor, but it
was refused by that official, and this
aroused a general interest among those
who use the mileage book in general

TRAIN LOADS OF WATER
BeIfieId's Water System Frozen Solid
And Northern Pacific Comes
to Assistance.

The town of Belfeld, located out on
the slope, has been in bad condition for
water since the exceedingly cold
weather set in. for the water in the
stream from which the town gets it's
supply for domestic purposes is frozen
to the bottom, with the result that
three or four times a week the North
ern Pacific is obliged to haul a train
load of water into the town. This is
something rather unique in the freight
line, but it has to be done just the
same.
