A RED RIVER
TRAIL PLANNED
STEPS BEING TAKEN TO MARK
A TRAIL FROM ST. PAUL TO
FARGO AND WlNNIPEe-pouG-
LAS COUNTY, MINNESOTA, CLUB
TAKES INITIATIVE.

Fergus Falls Journal: There is a
movement now on foot headed by the
Douglas County Automobile club to
select the best road from Fargo to
st. Paul and have it properly marked
with guide boards so that people trav-
cling can find their way. 1t is also
proposed to try and arouse a senti-
ment which will put the road when
selected in such shape that it will be
possible to travel over it. There is
going to be an increasing travel by
automobiles from Fargo to st. Paul
as the years go by. In fact there will
be a large volume of traffic not only
from North Dakota but from Mani
toba and particularly from Winni-
peg. Years ago the traffic was car
ried on in the Red river trail"
Gasoline has taken the place Of the
OK n the traffic in the future will
be by motors in various forms. We
should get ready for it. The towns
which make it possible to reach
them by motors will get the bust

ness resulting from the use of the
motor is large and is constantly in
creasing. 1t is therefore of the
highest Importance that a town
should be on the main travelled
road in order to participate in the
business which accrues from the
travelling public.
Let Fergus Falls get busy and
help to establish "the Red river
traiI' from St. Paul to Fargo and
from Fargo on to Winnipeg.
The Douglas county club writes
that it will search out and mark
the best road as far north as Ashby
and asks Fergus Falls to take up
the work there and carry it north
to GAINESVILLE. Fergus Falls ought
to get busy at once either through
the business mems organization or
through the automobile club.
st. Cloud has taken up the work
in its neighborhood and promises
to see that it is done at once.

RUNAWAY GIRLS
ARE CAPTURED

Bismarck, n. D.. April 17.-Fhree
Indian maids who escaped from the
Bismarck Indian school were captured
by Nick Helbling Of st. Anthony and
turned over to a representative of the
school, who was at Mandan in serch
of them. Mr.. Helbling gave a very
vivid account of their rapture. He
said that he was driving into ST.
Anthony Saturday morning and he
passed the three girls; he passed the
time of day, but they failed to answer
and appeared rather sullen. Upon
reaching town he told the s~torekeeper
of what he. had seen. At 10 o'clock
Sunday morning the storekeeper no.
titled him that a phone call had come
from Bismarck to watch for three girls
who had escaped from the Indian
school. MI. HeIbling says he immedi-
ately hitched up and went in search
Of them. Al the home Of Anton
Wetch, seven miles south OF st. An
thony, he found them at noon, eating
their dinner. He took them to his
home and kept them until yesterday,
when he took them to Mandan and
turned them ove to the authorities.
The girls were Isabelle Bird Bear,
Mary White Twin and Elizabeth Price.
They escaped from the school late
Friday evening, going first east and
north. later circling back west and
crossing the bridge.
The girls were seen by several peo-
pie in Bismarck lettering around box
cars and wandering about the city.
1t would be a source of great conVen-
fence to the authorities of the school
If such cases be reported promptly,
instead of the people waiting until an
alarm Of runaway is given, when
they say, Il saw them, Information
communicated to the oficials at the
school would be greatly appreciated.

WRECK MOTT TRAIN
WAS NOT SERIOUS.

Mandan, n. D., April 1T.-After ten
hours of strenuous labor at mile post
Is on the south branch, about three
miles below Huff, the wrecking train
returned to the city, having cleared
up the wreck Of the Mott train. 1t
seems TT this accident was not as
serious as the first reports indicated.
A soft spot in the road bed, caused
by the recent rains, caused the rails
to spread, and one Of the cars of the
southbound train left the track. The
wrecker left this city about IL o'clock,
and repaired the track after picking
up the deraiIed car. The train, in
charge of Conductor Colby, was de-
layed five hours.

WILL AMEND DIVORCE LAWS
Reno No Longer to Be Divorce Center
of United States.

Reno, New, Nov. 12.--One of the
many surprising results OF the recent
elections is that after next January
Nevada will no longer be the divorce
center of the United States. Complete
returns show that the next legislature
will have majority opposed to the
present lax divorce laws, which have
brought thousands of women and men
into the state for the sole purpose II
freeing themselves from burdensome
matrimonial bonds.
Many Of the bona fide citizens OF the
state have held that the frivolous di-
vorce colony OF Reno was a public
scandal and more restrictive laws was
made a campaign issue. 1t is almost
certain that one of the first acts OF
the new legislature will be to amend
the divorce laws and to fix the resi-
dence necessary to obtain citizenship
at one year instead of six months.
