at once to the hot briliantly-lighted sitting
room where a tragic figure was pacing. So
she had heard him! She whipped her white

CARLOADS OF MATERIAL FOR
EXTENSION IN BENSON
COUNTY HAVE BEEN
SHIPPED.

Esmond, N. d.. Dec. 2S.--Renewed
interest in the building of the Drake
Devils Lake Fordviile cutoff of the 500
railroad has been aroused by the an
nouncement that the contractors have
practically completed their work on
the Frederick, Wis, extension of the
road between the twin ports and the
twin cities and that with the COM
Ing OF spring the contractors will be
brought to North Dakota to work on
the Soo's new lines in this state
Orders have been received at Devils
Lake to have the right of-way through
that city, which was bought last sum-
mer. cleared OF buildings, so as to be
ready for the graders when the ground
is thawed next spring. Five carloads
Of culverts and bridge timber for use
on the new line in Benson county, have
been shipped TO Brinsmade, near
which the 500 will cross the Northern
Pacific's Jamestown Leeds branch.
Most OF the right-of-way across
Pierce, Benson and Ramsey counties
has been bought but some farmers
have been unable to agree on the value
fixed by q jury in condemnation pro-
ceedings. There will be new town.
site in western Benson county, near
the present postoffice OF Fillmore,
about ten miles north of Esmond
Farmers in Benson county are jul
bilant over the prospects of having
grain markets near their farms by the
time that 1912 crop is ready to thresh.
That territory, being about midway
between the main line of the Great
Northern and the Oberon- Esmond
branch Of the Northern Pacific is in
need OF closer markets which will now
be supplied by the 500.
At the same time the farmers near
the present towns will be benefited by
the competition created by the rival
elevator companies on the 500 with its
more direct route to Duluth. While
the new towns will to some extent cut
the present territory tributary to Es-
mond. 1t Is not generally believed the
older towns will suffer from the COM
petition. The country as q whole will
be benefited. The area OF cultivated
lands will be increased and the popu-
lation increased and with better travel
ing facilities trade will improve.

WOLVERTON WILL
HAVE FREE rein

New York. Dec. 2S.-Though Harry
Wolverton was really made manager
of the Highlanders some time ago, and
that fact was announced, the official
announcement of his appointment was
not issued until few days ago. IL
develops that the delay was caused
by the inability of the New York clup
to get the Oakland, Cal, club to re-
lease Wolverton from his contract
as manager. Cal Ewing OF the Cali
fornia club came to New York, and
after few minutes conversation with
Frank Farrell. agreed to the release.
Wolverton viii come to New York inn
mediately after the holidays and as
sumo his new position. He lives in
Philadelphia.
A Successful Manager.
Wolverton, who has had many ups
and downs in baseball, was born in
Mount Vernon, o., Dec. 6, 1873, and
first played professional baseball In
Columbus. O., in 1896, and " emit from
there to Dubuque, Ia. He returned t.
Columbus as a third baseman in 1898
and was sold in the fall of that year
to the Chicago Nationals, and played
third base for that team in 1899.
Wolverton was sold to the Philadel-
phia Nationals in 1900, and stayed with
that team practically for I'VE years
He made skip to the Washington
Americans in 1902. as he had dispute
with that club, he returned to Phila-
delphia. In 1905 the PhiIlies traded
him to the Boston Nationals, but a
dispute over salary caused him to join
the Williamsport club of the .Tri-State
league, then an outlaw organization
He managed the Williamsport team In
1905, 1907 and 1908, winning two pen
nants. In 1909 he went to the Newark
club of the Eastern league.
Will Be Real Leader.
While playing third base in Newark
In August, 1909, Wolverton broke his
leg in an accident on the diamond
which ended his career for that sea
son. In 1910 he Joined the Oakland
club, managing the team, and finished
second in the race. Last season he
piloted the team into third place. and
was regarded as one Of the ablesi
managers In that organization.
Wolverton is a real leader. and will
be given absolute charge. He refused
to accept the position under any 9TH
err conditions.

The heavier Oklahoma man weigh
