FARGO PANTORIUM BURNED.

Fargo, July 13.-What is rough
ly estimated as a $4,000 fire swept
the Rockwell Pantorium and the
Blooston billiard parlors in Stones
old music hall on First avenue north
early this morning about 2:30
o'clock. The exact origin of the
conflagration is not known as the
flames had gained an excellent start
by the time the department was no
titled.
Although the two business houses
are virtually complete loss, strange
to relate the second floor of the
building containing music and dance
hall is unharmed. The floors in the
Blooston parlors gave way, with the
weight of the billiard tables, all of
which sank into the basement filled
with water. The whole morning
was spent in pumping out the water
from the Blooston basement.

electrical storms of Sunday and
Monday.
The little dog was in the Nash
Bros. wholesale house block when a
bolt struck corner of the building
tearing away a number of bricks.
With wild yelp the little fellow
started doing a circle dance, and af-
ter chasing itself round and round
many times, it finally set on In a
straight line, back and forth, to va
rious parts of the building.
When the watchman finally got
the dog quieted, he found that on

inches in diameter, the CANNES hair
had been burned out by the light

then wrapped new overalls and
shirts around the dynamite and in
front of the safe to muffle the sound.

N, D. WILL EXHIBIT At
n. W. PRODUCE SHOW
Fine Exposition of States Resources
and Products at Minneapolis
Next November.

Minneapolis, Minn., July TO-
1--WE will come to Minneapolis this
fall with the best display of North
Dakota products ever collected, and
from every crop report We will have
more and better goods to show"
This telegram signed by w. S.
Gilbreath, North Dakota commits
sioner of agriculture, was received at
the office of the Northwestern Pro-
duce Exposition today, making it
certain that North Dakota as state
will participate in the show to be
held in the new addition to the ar
mory from November IL to %.
]. B. Slosson, secretary of the Mis-
souri, Slope Development League OF
North Dakota, also telegraphed the
exposition manager that the orga-
nization would buy five hundred
square feet of space in which to in
stall an exhibit from the counties of
the Slope" thus supplementing the
state exhibit.
With the commercial clubs of the
Red River valley negotiating for an
exhibit, and the lake region wanting
to install another display in the Twin
Cities, North Dakota will be COM
petitor with Minnesota when it
comes to size and competitiveness of
display at the Minneapolis products
exposition.
The 500 line has signed a con-
tract for the largest amount Of
epace ever sold to one railroad COM
pany in any land show and the Of
| ficers of the 500 line have contract
| ed to place in this space a display Of
Minnesota and North Dakota pro-
ducts from along their lines. The
Great Northern and Northern Pa
cif1c railroads have taken their u.s.
ual big amount of space, sufficient to
I make a good showing for all the
states along their lines.
With two-thirds of the floor space
in the new building contracted, Man
ager Will A. Campbell is trying to
lease the armory proper and believes
that every foot of space in both
buildings will be occupied, as the
crop situation has made everyone
certain Of good samples and plenty
of money. The exposition manage
ment today refused $1,000 con-
tract for exhibit space wanted by q
Colorado company with big legiti-
mate irrigation proposition, the de-
termination being to run the EXPOSE
ton az planned for the several states
| Of the American northwest.

than there was in 1910, and approx
mately 312 tons more water than
Shere was in 1911 on the average on
each demonstration farm. This
should be sufficient to carry the
crops over a protracted dry spell.
If abundant rains fall early in July
the small grain crop will be one Of
the largest ever produced in the
state, providing black rust should
not become epidemic as it did eight
years ago.
This extra large moisture content
in the soil this spring would go a
long way to secure normal yield
of grain this year, provided we get
anything like the usual amount of
moisture.

ORIENTAL LIMITED WRECKED
KILLING FIREMAN
Great NOrthern's Fast Train Jump
ed Track to Swamp Thirty
Feet Below.

Fargo, July 15.-The Oriental
limited, the Great Northern's crack
coast train, was wrecked between
Ashby and Melby, Mimi, rs miles
east of here, at 1.45 o'clock yester-
day afternoon. Fireman Campbell,
aged 35 years, of Melrose. Minn.,
was instantly killed, crushed by the
tender, as he attempted to jump
from his engine.
AS the train rounded a sharp
curve, flanked on one hand by a
high bank and by a deep swamp and
a 80 foot embankment on the other,
the engine left the track. It was
half buried in the steep wall of
earth. The train was travelling at
a good rate of speed and two day
coaches, the smoker, diner, two
Pullmans, and baggage car plung-
ed over the embankment straight
ahead and landed in a swamp 80
feet below.
Passengers were uninjured by the
fall, aside from minor bruises and
cuts. The force of the fall was re-
duced to practically nothing by the
water and mud of the swamp. Men
and women scrambled through the
coach doors and windows and waded
to safety through mud and water.
Shortly after the coaches landed in
the swamp one of the acetylene
tanks exploded and the gas caught
fire, spreading to the coaches. The
flames spread to theother coaches
landed in the swamp. Passengers
and crew fought the flames while
standing knee deep in mud and wat
er. All of the five coaches and the
baggage car were destroyed by the
flames.

A new RAILROAD
IN NORTH DAKOTA
"ST. LOUIS & CANADIAN'' WILL
CROSS STATE FROM
WATERFOWL, s. ID.

M1uuedpOllS, July l0.-IQ0 81.
Louis & Canadian Railway company
which will build from the vicinity
of Watertown, S. D., to the Cana
dian boundary, was organized in
Minneapolis today by Newman Erb
of New York, president of the Min
neapolis & St. Louis road; Vice Pres
ident W. G. Nirg of that company,
J. Woolman of J. S. Bachees & Co.,
New York bankers, and H. A. Har-
rison of the New York banking firm
of Battle & Co. Construction prob
ably will begin this fall. Mr.. Erb
with the other eastern financial men
and several secretaries, arrived in
Minneapolis today after western
trip which included run over the
main portion of the Minneapolis &
St. Louis and Iowa Central lines.
Immediately upon the arrival, Erb
put his o. K. on the order for
twelve new locomotives, and signed
appropriations totaling $500,00O.
principally for track improvements,
and other work along the line.
II came west to find by personal
investigation if the condition o1
crops in our territory warrants the
undertaking of the extensive new
work at this time" Erb said.
Everywhere along our lines
found crops good, and in some plac
es was told by men of long expert
ence that prospects for good yieli
have lot been better for twenty
years. With this in sight, in suct
contrast to the poor crop CT las
year, We are prepared to go aheai
and are today forming a compan,
to build the new line. It is impos
sible to give details yet, Or the route
of the new line, tut It will be frtn
some point near Watertown north
ward. --''
"The crop that is now promised
means that equipment and motive
power will be needed to handle it
For that reason We have just bough
twelve locomotives. We are eoinl
to keep the property up to condition
/ and be ready to handle the crop"
Erb's announcement is the frs
authoritative statement as to tn
new route, and today's meeting wa
the first active move towards get
ting construction started. The nev
road will give Minneapolis anothe
direct line into the grain fields o
South and North Dakota, and an
other connection with western Can
ada.
1t is understood traffic agree
ment with the Canadian Northern i
likely to follow the construction o
the line. But on this matter Err
was non-committal.
