The RAILROADS
And POLITICS
EXTENSION OF N. p. THROUGH
STATE DEPENDS ON WHO'S
ELECTED PRESIDENT.

Mott, N. D., Oct. 23.--More than
rumors are rife at present regarding
the extension of the Western Dakota
railway west of Mott. The long talked
of extension Of the Northern Pacitic's
Cannonball branch west through Het-
finger and Billings counties into Mon
tana to a point on the main line or
the Northern Pacihc-probably Miles
City-has taken on an aspect OF al
most certainty. Only one thing Will
prevent railroad extension over this
iine--and that is politics If the pres
ent republican administration is re-
tanned. the Northern Pacific will build
west. If a democratic president is
elected, men of authority claim there
will be no more railroad building In
this state until the new policies that
will be inauguTated by the democratic
administration have been thoroughly
estabIished-and possibly not then. 1T
is a well known fact that change
in administrations will be the means
of causing q more conservative attl-
tude amongst the money ioaners or
the east who are not going to take
any chances on their investments un-
til they are more positive of the effect
such a change will have upon the
great commercial interests and securt-
ties. If this country changes to dem
ocratic principles, it is the opinion OF
many. there will be no more railroad
building in the state for at least two
years.
All things favorable, the ". P. will
commence their line west of Mott early
next spring said prominent railroad
man. They will get busy to meet the
encroachment of its traffic riyal--the
AIilwaukee-in this great agricultural
domain.
J. Derrig of st. Paul, locating en-
gineer, was in Mott recently. That
gentleman is now busy with a crew
of fifteen civil engineers working
twenty miles. Their camp is on section
1S-133-99. The party is putting the
finishing touches on the line between
Mott and Marmarth, which Mr.. Derrig
says, will vary but slightly from
the present survey. However, the line
is still subject to corrections. 1t crosses
the little Missouri three miles north
of Marmarth, where half mile ex-
tension bridge will be required about
the size of the Bismarck bridge.
Another bunch of engineers are
working In the vicinity of Linton.

river where the Edgeley line will con-
meet with the Mott line at point
about half mile north of the town
OF Cannon Ball. The soundings for
the bridge have already been taken
at that point.
The right of way through Hettin-
ger county has been purchased and
| It is understood that Contractor Nc
Auliff of Mandan already has a grad

that the line will be completed as far
