Some time ago this firm investi-
gated the opening for packing house
in the Dakotas and they found that the
number of hogs raised In this state
would not be sufficient 70 warrant
them erecting killing plant here. In
establishing their branch house in
Fargo they decided upon this city,
after investigating Grand Forks and
other cities OF the state, owing to the
better shipping facilities here.
Mr.. Van Siic will be the manager
of the local house and the firm will
employ number OF men. Mr.. Foster
said when he was interviewed last
evening that they would put In a
packing plant as soon as the farmers
of the state went into hog raising
more extensively and they were sure
of being able to secure supply of
hogs for killing. At their Sioux Falls
plant they slaughter about 5000 hogs
per day. The Ottumy1a plant is con-
siderably larger and 1t Is one Of the
leading industries Of that city.

dunn COUNTY TO
SEEK RAILROAD
MASS MEETING OF CITIZENS
CALLED TO CONSIDER THE
SUBJECT.

Dickinson, NJ. d.. Nov. 6.-Railroad
facilities are urgently needed and be-
ing ivited by residents Of Dunn coun-
ty. particularly at Emerson and Man
ming through the columns of the pa
pers published at those points.
After agitating the question for
many months Editor Young Of The
Dunn County Settler, published at
Emerson, has succeeded in arousing
sufficient interest to bring about de-
cision to hold a railroad mass meet
ing at Manning, Nov. II. in connec-
tion with the Farming association
meeting to be held on the same date,
The purpose of the railroad mass
meeting is to formulate plans to in
duce some railroad to build and op-
crate in Dunn. one of the best OF the
new counties in North Dakota, which
If not doing 1t now, will in a few
years produce sufficient tonnage from
its agricultural and other products to
make good revenue for railroad first
to operate In that territory.
1t seems probable that the North
ern Pacific branch now being con-
structed from Mandan to stanton
may take a westerly course, next
spring it is hoped, and possibly follow
up the Knife river. Emerson as well
as Manning see visions Of being with
In sound OF the engine whistle should
this line be built. Another possibility
is that the Milwaukee may build from
New England through Dickinson to
Manning.
Dickinson is vitally interested in
this proposed Dunn county railroad
building and will doubtless use every
effort to assist any project that will
connect this city by rail with the rich
territory directly north, but can hard
ly be expected to enthuse over any
railroad that does not do this.
It has been suggested that Dickin-
SON interests be represented at the
Manning meeting, also that this city
undertake to finance an independent
railroad from Regent on the Milwau-
kee, to Manning. Possibly that scheme
may be discussed with tangible re-
suits at the Manning mass meeting,

Out of the midst Of the bloody h0r-

story is taken from Major Robert
