500 MAY BUILD
TO THE COAST
Drake ordville Cutoff NAV
il, be the Missing Link to
the Coast.

New York, April 16.-An Official of
the Minneapolis. St. Paul & Sault Ste.
Marie railway states that building Of
the new 230 mile u off from Drake,
N. D., to Fordville. N. d., is progress
ing rapidly, construction to fillmore
having been completed. The line was
originally projected to afford a more
direct route from the grain fields OF
the middle western part OF the state
to grain elevators at the terminal in
Duluth, by way Of Thief River Falls,
and the Plummer.Moose lake cut-oh
In Minnesota.
according to a western railroad Of.
fetal this new line has another sig.
nifcance than that Of affording mere.
~ a direct grain line to the Duluth
terminals. It has ore than local i'm
p%ortance. this official says. because of
Its invasion of Great Northern, North
ern Pacific and st. Paul territory and
the introduction Of greater competi-
ton in freight rates. The line, accord
ing to a general notion in northwest
ern railroad circles. is to be more than
a grain shipping line. and become q
link In another transcontinental line.
The assertion is made that the 500
Will build westward from Plaza, across
the newly opened Berthold reservation
lands. thence across the Missouri river
through North Dakota and Montana In
a general westerly direction, across
the Yellowstone river and Judith basin
country and then due west to the
coast. In support Of this theory It is
pointed out that 500 line surveyors
have been reported from time to time
IN different sections of that country.

FROM

Consul General r. NJ. Bartleman
Buenos Aires is authority for the fol-
lowing: Their was a large decrease
in the shipments of agricultural pro-
ducts out of the country last year
with the previous one. In
the past this has been the leading
group of export. but last year was dis
placed by the pastoral products. The
following We're the values Of the prin-
cipal exports. by groups, during last
ear Pastoral. $162.50O,O 900, a gain
of $7,130,000; agricultural, $134 $780,
600, a decrease of $54.SO0.0 900; forest,
$11,S25.000, a gain of oyer 81 600, 900;
mining. $545,000 a gain of nearly
$4,000: and fisheries and hunting,
~s1.600.000 a gain Of 100000.
The principal items contributing to
the increase In the shipments Of the
pastoral products were live stock, froz-
en- and chilled meats. pork, OK hides,
jerked beef. tallow and bones. Wool
shipments decreased by 1868 metric
tons, valued at $8,061 293. The heavy
decrease in the exports of agricultural
products was due to the short maize
harvest, the total shipments being
only about 10000 metric tons COM
pared with over 2.660.000 for 1910.
There was also a large decrease in the
exports OF linseed. Wheat and oats,
however. show large gains compared
with the previous year.
The principal articles shipped ia
the United States are hides and skins,
q~uebracho extract and wood, wool
