Recently VIM. Martin signed up a
contract ssto sink 6-inch we'll for the
city ofsDiAinson to a depth of 300 feet
at IS cs1ts per foot. This is for the
drilling, he city furnishing its own

Mr. Martin is getting in new drill

opportunity for demonstrating what it
will do while putting down the city
we'll.
Supt. W. j. Littlehales has about all
he can do to pump the so. 900 to so. 900
gallons of water used daily, and before
another Junela new supply must be Sc
cured from some source.
It will be remembered that when the
SIS. 600 we'll experiment was made back
of the city hall that a good flow of
water was secured at a depth of some
E225 feet and it is the hope of our water
superintendent that this supply of water
can be found near the pumping station.
The experiment will cost but few
hundred dollars and it seems worth
making.

DRY FARMING CONGRESS

A. H. Arnett and Geo. M. Frye of this
city and Geo. Heaton of St. Paul called
on Vice-President Hannaford of the
Northern Pacific at his Office early in
the week and had a long talk with him
relative to special rates for the Dry
Farming Congress at Dickinson on
January 81 and February 1. Mr.. Hanna
ford showed great interest in the first
state Dry Farming Congress for North
Dakota and said that number of the
Northern Pacific officials, including
Thomas Cooper, would be in attendance.
He also said that his road would help
10 distribute advertising matter and
give the date the greatest publicity pos
sible from their various station agencies
along the road. He said it was d great
thing for the farmers and lie wanted
them to get out and get the benefits
which awaited them.
AS to the special rates, Mr.. Hanna
ford said that the Interstate Commerce

COLD WAVE FIRST OF week
Temperature "a BELOW

Our Chinook weather of last week was
supplanted the first of the week by a
Canadian northwest cold wave. While
it was not as cold as on the 1st day of
January when mercury registered %
degrees below zero, there was greater
change in temperature. In 18 hours
mercury dropped from 81 degrees above
zero to 20 degrees below. making a
change of 81 degrees. The 2O-beIow
record was for the night of January 9.
The following day, Tuesday. was a
record breaker for low temperature at
noon, when mercury stood at II degrees
below zero, according to the government
gauge at the Dickinson experiment
station west of the city. II was still
colder Tuesday night, the record being
"a below, but it was not so cold on
Wednesday.

mercury registered % to 26 degrees be-
low the first of the week.
1t has continued very cold all the
week. Wednesday night the record
was 20 below. During the day, Thurs
day at one time it was % below and
at o'clock p. m. the record was IS be-
low. The Thursday night record was %
below. The wind got around into the
east again Friday. In all probability
this is the longest cold spell that this
section will experience during the

SURVEYORS
OUT SOUTH
Milwa,'kee Grew Near Midway
North and West OF Chalk
Buttes. N. P. Line
South Of Rainy.

The homesteaders in the vicinity of
Midway. some 20 miles west of New
England, are deeply interested in the
work of the Milwaukee surveyors. For
some weeks crew of eight or ten me1l
have been running lines along the
northern tier of sections in township
135. few miles north of the West
Rainy and just north of the West Chalk
butte. y.
The report is that the Milwaukee sur
veyors have found an easy grade and
that the course of the line after passing
the Chalk buttes will be southwest, in
tersecting with the. Coast line of the
Milwaukee at IA point near Ives or
Rhame. j t
If the Cannon Ball branch of the Mil
waukee was extended another season as
indicated by the preliminary survey,
it would give the farmers of southeast
ern Billings county splendid outlet
for their grain. rhe settlers around
Midway are about half way between the
Northern Pacific and the Coast line of
the Milwaukee, haul of some Is miles
: to market, and they are nearly this dis
tance west of New England, and there
fore, 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 Marmarth.
The N. P. is planning permanent line
through this territory and there is no
question about the road being buill
sooner or later. 1t also looks as though
the Milwaukee was going to extend
from New England. Probably a good
deal depends upon the condition of the
money market and legislation as tc
what is done the coming season. Pres.
j. j. Hill, short time ADO, announced
in New York that there would be very
little new railroad building this year.
Another thing which may have some
bearing upon railroad construction
southwest of Dickinson in 1911. is the
county division propositions in Billings.
Questions are pending in the court:
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 il
understood that the firemen also came ir
for an increase. Legislation is pending
which intimidates railroad capital, anc
it seems to be the opinion of many Of
the railroad officials that there will be
very little doing for a year or two. The
1911 crops are likely to influence thu
roads somewhat in the prosecution o1
new work and this cannot be determined
until the middle of the coming summer
