such as the stopping Of a runaway.
Commissioner Fosdick had one hundred

PLANS Of The
MIDLAND R. R.

Jamestown, N. D., Oct l9.--It may
have been disappointing to some resi-
dents of the city to hear that the
Midland Continental roa could not
proceed directly northward acros the
Northern Pacific tracks at this place.
The Midland officials state that 1t
was impossible to get a commercial
grade, either across the N. p. tracks
al q grade level, or overhead, or I'M
derneath the NJ. p. tracks. The Mid
land engineers have been for a long
time trying to solve the problem of
running the line directly north from
jamestown. and still maintain a sat
isfactory grade. To cross the ". p.
tracks at the foot Of the east hill
would have been prohibited. in all
probability, by the railroad COM
mission, as too dangerous and haz-
ardous, owing to the steep grade
which the N. p. tracks encounter at
that place. and which require a push
er engine at a heavy expense at all
times. The Midland road in order
to get a low grade north will there
fore start Its main north line from q
point about four miles south of the
city which will be called Jamestown
junction, and by going through the
Seven Mile coulee northeast towards
Wimbledon, will G what Is
known as a AZ per cen grade. All.

VERY INDIGNANT

There was a potato-car famine in
Moorhead today. A big potato shipper
said that about thirty cars were need
ed, but not even one was to be had.
The potato shippers say that North
ern Pacific agents have been instruct
ed to send forward all empty refriger-
ator cars to the apple orchards out In
Washington.
About moor today a suggestion was
made to Secretary Grant Of the Clay
County Potato Growers association
that a meeting be called of the d.
rectorS of the association, and the
commercial club and men outside, who
are interested in the situation for the
purpose of discussing the a shortage
proposition and the compilation of
facts to be embodied in a formal let
ter to the state railroad and ware
house commission, so that the latter
may be fully informed when they reach
their desks next Monday.

that a 7 will be built from a point
northeast of the city on the line Elk
tending to Wimbledon, to connect
with the Midland city station, so that
passenger trains from the north will
enter the station ove the Y and pro
coed directly south without turning
or other delay, and passenger trains
from the south will enter the James
town station and proceed north
ward over the Y to the main line.
Through freight trains will rtn over
the main line without passing ovar
the company's tracks within the city
limits.
This arrangement will work out
satisfactorily to the people of the
city, and will be a much more feas-
ible and economical plan for the
company. The difficulty OF getting
a low grade leading directly up the
James river valley has proved insur-
mountable and would have been very
expensive If attempted.
The rails of the new line are about
five miles from the city. or between
two and three miles from the south
city limits. The ruling grade Of
the line from Edgeley to jamestown
is a .05 per cen grade. and makes
a very satisfactory grade from the
railroad operators point of view. It
is possible that q round house will
be a at the Junction instead or
within the city limits, A phone line
will be put in at all stations between
jamestown and Edgeley for dis
patching trains and for other com.
pany business. All offices of the
company will be here and additional
rooms have been secured in the
White & Henderson building.
Photographs Of the new towns that
are starting on the line have been
taken, showing improvements n,ade
by the company. At Nortonville there
is a neat two-Story station no Use
erected, with freight room, and The

About Local Farm Lands,

A well-iuformel land man today was
heard to say that inquiries by the
score are being received by dealers,
asking about the available farms and
lands in Clay county, and he added
that it would not be surprising If the
coming fall and winter was lot a record
breaker in the transfer Of farm lands
in this county.
A deal which was closed a day or
two & demonstrated the faith there
exists in the fertility of the lands in
this particular part of the Red river
valley. Danielson Bros, who now
have large interests on the Buffalo
river, have added 200 more acres to
their holdings at a cost of about $19,-
600 cash, the bulk of it the profits of
potato growing, and it is said they have
their eyes focused on more desirable
tracts. The recent purchase corners
on what they have already.
