BIG RY. TUNNEL NORTH
n. D. ELECTRIC SERVICE

A new turn in the battle of railway
giants for possession of trade territory
in western North Dakota and Montana,
which means the utilization of North
Dakota Ignite coal, is the annonce-
ment that the Great Northern railway
proposes to electrify its line from New
Rockford. North Dakota. to Lewistown,
Montana. This road will be $50 miles
long, and its Identification will be the
third great undertaking of the kind in
the United States. Construction crews
have been at work on the new line and
an immense tunnel is now under con-
struction. piercing the range of hills
just east of the Yellowstone river in
northwestern Mckenzie county. The
tunnel will be 1,400 feet in length.
Crews are to be employed at both ends
of the tunnel and night shift will also
be on the job this winter.
Railway experts declare the an
nouncement of this project is solution
of the Great Northern's 8 move few days
ago when it increased it's capital $21.-
600. 600.
The new railroad will be operated as
the Montana Eastern, corporation
controlled by the Great Northern inter-
este. The electrifcation alone will
represent an expenditure of $40, 600, 900.
The possibilities of large curtailment
in operating expenses gave rise to the
scheme.

BIG GRAIN DAY
IN DICKINSON
Over 500 Loads Marketed on
Monday. Farmers Receive
$4,000. 5 Elevator Crews
Work Dayssand Night.

Dickinson takes a place with the
greatest wheat markets of Western
North Dakota this season. Monday was
a record day, when little over 80. 600
bushels of Grain were handled by the
five local elevators and two Touring
mills. Flax was worth $1.04 per bushel
and wheat s. cents. and conservative
estimates place the sum total for De-
cember 23 marketing in Dickinson at
SIS, 600. OF course it is impossible to
tell just what proportion of the days
marketing wag f,ax, but 80. 600 bushels
Of wheat at 86c would bring SIG. 800.
and it is known t6at great many
farmers have fax and as it is worth
more money per. bushel than wheat
they are quite Inclined to market grain
now which will give them the most
ready money.
December II was also a big grain mar
ket day in Dickinson and the elevator
men were about as busy as they could
be, but they knew that if the weather
remained fair much larger market
day was coming on Monday. The ele-
vator men worked Saturday night and
Sunday to get all the available space
possible. and they had need of it.
Long before daylight Monday morning
the grain teams were coming into Dick
inson. 1t Is estimated that fully 100
teams arrived the. night before and had
placed their horses in the various feed
barns of the city. As,..number of the
elevators unloaded-over 100 loads and
none. as could be learned. went below
this mark.
On Tuesday. the day before Christ
mas. there was little over half as
much grain marketed as on the previous
day. For this date fax was down a
cent in price and wheat was up that
much.
The marketing Of Grain is probably
not more than half over. Some are
holding for higher prices. while others
have but recently finished threshing and
are now marketing as fast as they can.
A few farmers still have grain to
thresh but this is the exception rather
than the rule. The good weather of the
past two months has been godsend to
the country. It looks now as though
the farmers would be hauling grain at
their leisure all winter.

Banking Law is Unconstitutional According to

Judge W. g. Rice, Of this circuit, in
the circuit court in and for Meade
county, at Sturgis yesterday afternoon
sustained demurrers to the indictments
returned against officers and directors
of the defunot Meade County Bank, Of
Sturgis, upon the ground that the law
under the provisions Of which the In
dictments we're returned, is unconstitu.
tional, because the penalty fxed for q
violation of the law is not specified in
the title thereto.
Judge Rice granted the state an OK.
ception to his ruling In order that the
record may be perfected and an appeal
Of the case to the supreme court, may
be taken at once.
It is an interenting coincidence. in
connection with THE case. that D. A.

which passed the law under which Mr.
MCPHERSON and other officers of the
