TRIBUTES TO DAVID J. FOSTER.
(From the Bennington Banner


The death of Hon. David ]. Foster, rep
resentative in Congress from this dis
trist, comes as great shock to the peo-
pie of Vermont. He was the Youngest
member OF the Vermont delegation in
Congress and always appeared to be In
such rugged health that it hardly seems
possible that he should succumb so
quickly to disease.
Mr.. Foster was 4 man of ability and
strength. No man was ever more dill
gent in looking out for the welfare OF
the people OF his district. Whatever was
needed In Vermont from a public building
to pension. found a champion in Con-
gresham Foster and one who would fol-
lew up the case with the utmost tact and
energy until success crowned his efforts
In no county of his district was Mr.
Foster more generally esteemed than In
bennington county and from the begin
ming OF his term he was most Loyalty sup
ported by this county. In return, he did
all in his power for this section of the
State. He was instrumental In securing
the purchase of a site for a public build
ing here and later got the authorization
bill through for Its construction. Every
rural carrier in the county owes him
debt of gratitude for his efforts in theil
behalf and the old soldiers have los
perhaps their best friend in Congress
from the whole country.
He was genial, l!kable man who hac
the gift of making friends and holding
them. AS an orator, he had few equal
and his services We're called for in man,

Great Nortnern May Construct
Bridge Near Mouth Of the Lit.
tie Missouri.
Dickinson Post: An indication OF
the intention Of the Great Northern
railroad to build new lines through
North Dakota, in the county now pro-
vided with railroad facilities north OF
Dickinson, is found in the following
dispatch from Washington dated last
week.
The interstate commerce commit.
tee of the house has ordered favor
able report of the McCumber bill au.
thorizing the Great Northern to con.
struct, operate and maintain a bridge
across the Missouri at or near the
mouth of the Little Missouri.
This is part of the new line pro-
posed by the Great Northern. The
committee also ordered a favorable
report on the bill authorizing the con.
struction of bridge across the YELL
lowstone river in Montana, another
section Of the same line. Both bills
have passed the senate.
If the Great Northern builds the
bridge across the Missouri at or near
the point mentioned. it is thought it's
bridge will be in the vicinity of FL
bowoods as the conditions near there
are much more favorable for such a
bridge than at any other point. Some
Dickinson people believe when the
Great Northern crosses the Missouri
and constructs new lines in the ter
ritory mentioned it may be an easy
matter to induce that line ~ extend
to this city.
