500 FENCING
RIGHI-OF-WAY

Minot, N. D., July 18.-With a view
to eliminating the expenditure of sew
eral thousand dollars annually for
horses, cattle and other livestock
which have strayed upon the tracks
and have been killed by passing
trains, the 500 line is erecting fence
on each side of the tracks along the
right Of way. The fence has been
completed on both sides of Minot and
has reached a point between Carpio
and Donnybrook.
Here, however, the company has met
with some difficulty. Under federal
statute, when a railroad extends
through public lands they are granted
a right-of-way 100 feet to each side
from the center Of the track When
the 500 come through the Carpio--
Donnybrook country, however, much
of this land had already been taken
up by homesteaders and they had to
secure their right-of- way directly
from the homesteaders. This was
given freely but instead OF securing
100 feet they only secured fifty feet
from the settlers.
When the 500 line started construct
ing their fence between these two sta
tions they discovered that public roads
had been laid out along the right-of-
way by the county officials several
years ago. One reason for this was
because some of the farmers refused to
allow the roads to go across their land
and another reason was because In a
number of places the land along the
right -of-way was the only place road
could be put through on account of the
hills, etc. +
AS result of these circumstances
in some places the fence is built in
side the public roads and in many
places it comes outside these roads.
In order to protect the interests Of
the taxpayers of Ward and Renville
counties, who spent considerable mon
ey in the construction of these roads
and to protect the company itself, the
matter has been referred to Mr.. Dixie,
general counsel for the 500. The COM
mercial club of Carpio, through its
president, c.. X. Christianson, has had
charge Of the matter In behalf of the
farmers, while Dorr III. Carroll is
looking after the interests OF the
supervisors Of White Ash township. A
meeting was held yesterday with Supt
w. A. Cole Of the 500 line. Mr.. Car
roll and Mr.. Cole are preparing state
ments today which will be sent to the
Minneapolis ogices OF the company.
According to the parties who are In
volved in the difficulties the railroad
company is trying to be fair in the
matter and is seeking only to secure an
amicable settlement and every indica-
ton points to such settlement at the
present time. The case is rather pc
culiar one and the outcome will be
awaited with considerable interest.

A CONTRACT
WITH PEOPLE
This VIII Be the Platform Of
ReoseveIt'S Party

Oyster Bay, July 18.-The platform
of the national progressive party is to
be "a contract with the people," Coll
onel Roosevelt said today. Just as a
business man signs a contract for the
fulfillment OF certain obligations, he
explained, the new party would sign
contract to undertake certain well
defined measures, providing the OPP
portunity is accorded it
Roosevelt has given his approval to
the name national progressives for
the party by using it repeatedly, and
1t is assumed this is to be the title
adopted at the christening at Chica-
go. The colonel is drafting a plat
form embodying ideas which he will
offer to the convention.
In explaining his decision OF last
night to abandon his trip to Kansas.
Iowa and Michigan, Roosevelt said a
multitude of things are constantly
coming up in the formation OF the
new party and that although he had
hoped to be able to complete arrange
ments early enough to make the trip
he had found he could not do so.
Ralph c. Otis and Day McBirney,
Roosevelt workers, came from Chicago
today to Oyster Bay to tell the colonel
Illinois was in great shape" and that
in their opinion he would carry the
state.

Housework Makes Junos

Cambridge, Mass, April 8.
"House work will reduce the
woman Of plump proportions into a
feminine study in geometrical perfec-
ton" is the assertion made today
by DR.. Dudly A.Sargent, director of
the Harvard gymnasium.
Sweeping, scrub5ing, clothes wash
ing, and other sorts of domestic du-
ties, he says, not only will reduce
weight, but will develope the ordinary
woman's most useful muscles, make
ing her into an ideal "Juno type"
"Where a woman does her own
usework," Professor Sargent says
"with its manifold varieties of physic-
i'll requirements, nearly every mus.
Gle of the body may be brought into
action. Nothing is better for the dev.
elopement of the large muscles of the
thighs, or the reduction Of fat about
This region, than running up an d
down stairs.
"No better method can be devised
for Strengthening the chest and straigt
-ening the spine than scrubbing floors
on the hands and knees, especially il
the left arm as we'll as the right is
used.
Kneading bread is speific for fine
-ly shaped forearms, and an hour s
work at the washboard is equal to sim
-iliar efforts with cheft weights as a
developer of the upper arms, back
and shoulders.
