He was especially impressed with the

ANOTHER R. R.

Minot, N. D., Aug. 24.-A determined
campaign to induce the Minneapolis &
st. Louis to run into Minot, thereby
making third great railroad system
for Minot, will be made by the Minot
Commercial club.
This was decided upon at a meet
ing Of the members Of the club, when
a SPECIAL committee consisting Of
Sec. F. L. Sherman, Pres. H. L. Hal
vorson and G. H McManus, was ap-
pointed to investigate the matter
That the Minneapolis and st. Louis
is going to push into North Dakota
and Canada is certain. 1t will strike
Jamestown and headed for Moose
Jaw. The bonds have been issued by
the company and much of the right
of way has been purchased The or
iginal survey would take the road east
of Minot, probably between Towner
and Rugby.
The Minot business men believe that
If the facts were put up to the rail-
road officials in their true light, the
road could be secured for Minot. Minot
is nearly direct line from Jamestown
to Moose Jaw, and it is the largest
city west of the Minnesota line.
'I don't see how we can fail to get
this road, If we go at it in the right
way" said a member of the club to-
day. "A third big railroad system for
Minot, making practically four with
the Grand Trunk Pacific, would abso-
lutely establish the supremacy of
Minot as the commercial and industri-
al center for western part Of the state
and eastern Montan."
The new committee will get busy
Immediately on the matter. The Of
ficials Of the Minneapolis & st. Louis
line will be interviewed. and every
possible inducement will be offered to
get the line to strike Minot.

Policeman Not FoiIed.

A few nights ago young blood Of
Moorhead took three young ladies for
a joy ride and the route included north
Broadway, Fargo, over which the
young man speeded beyond the limit.
He was seen by a policeman, who
waited for him at the Great Northern
crossing for his return, but the gay
one saw him and he made detour
and sped down Fifth street, but the
cop" got the number of the machine.
Since the occurrence the young blood,
when he ventured into the city Of
Fargo, aurned the numbers Of the
sign upside down, but yesterday Mr..
Policeman spied a machine in the
front of Fargo business house which
seemed to be familiar to. him and in
eying its features he came to the
number, it was upside down, but right
side up 1t gave him the figures want
ed. The policeman related the in
cident and requested the father to
accompany him to headquarters which
he meekly did and paid the neces-
sary fine to release the machine. The
father, rather perturbed, said: that
kid will be shy a ten out of his pay
check this week.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-Wheat: Strong
and higher opening with scattered
shorts covering. Latter the market be-
came extremely dull reacting some
from the top, but regaining small
fractional advance on yesterday. Sharp
ly higher market at Liverpool and
general firmness in all European mar
kets had much influence. Serious re-
suits attending long continued rainfall
in United Kingdom and material
strength shown at Paris following re-
sumption of rains in France. There was
a general disposition on both sides OF
the market to await another week be-
fore extending open interest. With the
persistent strength abroad we cannot
feel bearish on wheat especially tor
any material decline.
Corn-Market has been little firmer
all day. Shorts have been covering
for the week end, but total trade has
to 1c and stimulated fair shipping
call. New crop months were in most
demand from the shorts. 1t is claimed
at the sea- board that some export sales
of new corn have been made. We can
not justify a 19c discount for new No.
corn under Liverpool December with
bearish position on new crop months.
We must have more relief afforded cash
situation before we can influence

Gently shipped from Great Falls ten
cars of equipment to Stanton to be
used in the work, and crews are al
ready at work at various points along
the proposed line, there being one a
mile out of Stanton under Martin and
another about twenty five miles out,
near Bowdish, under Stanley. AS soon
as the steam shovel arrives from
Montana, which will be in a very few
days, work will be commenced on a
large cut about three miles west of
Stanton.
It would be utterly impossible to
come anywhere near completing a

so it could be used, hence the decision
of the contractor to get the rough
work all in shape to go ahead and

DR.. ]. w. Stribling was speeding into
the country to attend a patient his
automobile found lodging place in
the bottom of a coal mine that had
been opened right in the middle of
the road recently. The car dropped a
a distance of about five feet but land
ed right side up with care. The doc
tor was thrown onto his steering wheel
in such a manner that one of his ribs
was cracked, The other occupant of
the car was uninjured but was badly
shaken up. @
DR.. Stribling always has been an
ardent supporter of the good roads
movement and had spent the day be-
fore his accident In carrying sub
scription list to raise $500 for the New
England Commercial club to use in re-
pairing the market roads leading to
the town. AS soon as he is fully re-
covered from the accident he intends
to work harder than ever.
AS a whole, the roads leading to
New England are in good shape, but
there are still many bad places that
must be repaired. The commercial
club has taken up the matter in ear
nest and has raised nearly $500 to
carry on the good work.
