This County May Have More Kali
roads Built Next Year If Predc-
tions Come True
Bismarck, N. D., Sept 18-The Great
Northern Railroad Co., has just filed
some more resolutions regarding the
building of new lines in this state.
AS has been known for some time,
it is the intention of the company to
construct line from New Rockford
west through Wells, Sheridan, Mclean,
Dunn and Mckenzie counties. This
line will probably pass through Fessen-
den, and straight on to Fort Stevenson
on the Missouri river in Mclean coun-
ty. From Fort Stevenson the line will
extend to the Missouri river, crossing
that stream somewhere northwest Of
Elbowoods, where covenient place can
be found for bridge. It will then
follow closely the Little Missouri river
valley across Dunn county to township
145-1O5, where it will enter Montana.
Following is that part of the resolution
outlining the route:
Commencing at point on this COM
pany's constructed main line of rail-
way between the stations of Mondak
and Snowden in the county of Valley,
state Of Montana, thence southerly in
and through said county of Valley, to
and across the Missouri river thence
southeasterly in and through the coun-
ty of Dawson, state of Montana, to a
point on the eastern boundary line of
said state Of Montana, crossing said
boundary line at some point on the east
line of township 26 NJ, range 50 E.,
Montana principal meridian thence
southeasterly, southerly and south
westerly in and through the county of
Mckenzie, North Dakota, to connec-
tion with the branch or extension Of
this company's railway, the construc-
ton of which was authorized by reso-
luton of the directors of the company
passed on June IL, 1910, at point on
the boundary line between the states
of North Dakota and Montana, said
point of connection being at or near
the village Of Fairview, in the county
of Dawson, state of Montana, a dis
tance of about five and one-half miles
in Montana and about nine miles in
North Dakota.
Commencing at point on the branch
line authorized by resolution Of the
board of directors of this company pass
ed on June II, 1910, hereinbefore des-
cribed, at or near the village of Fair
view, in the county of Dawson, state
of Montana, thence easterly in said
county of Dawson, state of Montana.
a point on the eastern boundary Of said
state, thence easterly in and through
the county of Mckenzie, state of
North Dakota, to and across the Vel
lowstone river, thence easterly and
southeasterly in and through the coun-
ty of Mckenzie, state of North Dakota,
by way of the valleys of Charbonnea
creek, Lonesome creek and Cherry
creek, to a connection with the branch
or extension of this company's railway
the construction of which was author
lied by resolution Of the directors of
the company, passed on March 2, 1912,
at or near the confluence Of Cherry
creek with the Little Missouri river, a
distance of about one-half mile in the
state of Montana.
By referring to the resolution it will
be seen thatit is the intention to leave
the main line of the G. N. before Mon
dak and Snowden, cross the Missouri,
then follow it along the south bank over
into North Dakota for a few miles
and then back into Montana to Fair
view. From Fairview it will bear east
crossing the Yellowstone following the
valleys Of Charbonnea, Lonesome and
Cherry creeks to the confluence Of
Cherry creek with the little Missouri
river, which would be in the neighbor-
hood of Schafer in McKenzie county.
or the northwest corner Of Dunn coun-
ty. This is the point where the cutoff
from Mondak will join the New Rock
ford-Montana branch and will make
connection with the main line. The
new route will probably pass through
Schafer and Arnegard. S
