FIRST SPIKE By
N. |. HIBBARD
THE WORK or TRACK LAYING
ON THE NEW DILWoRTH LINE
BEGAN YESTERDAY AND THE
PROCEEDING WAS WATCHED
BY MEN or BOTH CITIES.

Mgr. N. L. Hibbard, of the Union
Light, Heat & Power Co., drove the
first spike In the new Dilworth street
car line about 5 o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon at a point a rev feet east of
the Great Northern crossing and Nan
ager Brown of the street car line
drove n second and the rails were
placed in position by superintendent
Hackett, and this was done in the
presence Of quite a company from
both Fargo and Moorhead.
The first arinload of rails was de-
hVered on the grounds yesterday aft
ernoon and yer 5000 feet of ties were
laid east of the Great Northern and
about 1000 feet on the west side and
the work is progressing rapidly. A
team of horses is used for distribut-
ing the rails n as soon as there is
enough trackage laid a work car of the
traction company will be placed on.
The trolley poles have been hauled to
a point near the Great Northern cross
ing and these, too, are being distrib-
uted, and Manager Hubbard stated that
they hoped to have the line in opera
ton inside of five weeks, but would not
undertake a regular service until the
road bed had been properly ballasted.
1t is the intention to do a part of this
work this fall and run the cars, and
again next spring do some more ball
lasting.
Contractor Mccarthy states that he
will have al lof the grading done by
Sept. IL, according to contract and he
has already succeeded in doing the
most of 1t clear to the Dilworth line.
At the Moorhead city line east, there
will have to be a hump removed from
the Dad to a depth of about a foot at
the point where the bridge must be
erected, and the piles for the bridge
and some of the lumber has already
arrived. The work Of constructing this
will be done by Contractor Jardine's
bridge company, and will be started at
once.
The ~crossover for the Great North
ern has been ordered from Pennsyl-
vania and is expected to reach the To-
cation by the time it is actually need
ed.
Messrs. Hubbard and Brown were
very much pleased with the work that
has been done, but they each deplor-
ed the fact that it was well nigh i'm
possible to secur as many laboring
men as they desired.

Of the western part OF the United
States for the federal government in
the department OF agriculture and
bureau of plant industry, was the guest
of Thomas Cooper. secretary of the
North Dakota Better Farming associa-
ton yesterday evening.
It was Mr.. Scofeid's intention to
spend today in Fargo, but other en-
gagements prevented this and he left
o n a late train.
His visit was purely one of pleasure
and to renew his acquaintance with Mr..
Cooper who Is his personal friend. The
two went over the work OF the better
farming association in this state and
the distinguished visitor expressed
himself as being very much pleased at
he had seen in the state as well
as what he lad learned from Mr..
Cooper.
He spoke highly Of the crops pros
poets as he had seen them in North
Dakota as well as of the excellent
conditions along the same lines in Mon
tana and mostly Of the eastern part OF
that state.
He has peer paying particular atten-
ton to sugar beets and alfalfa and

kota were well adapted to the sugar

is well adapted to alfalfa and he was
pleased to see that the were
generally taking up the culture of al
falfa.
He spoke of the governments efforts
at irrigation out in the Wtlltston dis
trict and said that it had been a sue
cess, but that If there was any trouble
it lay in the fact that Williston did
not need irrigation all the time and in
order to have a successful irrigation
plant II was necessary that 1t be run
all the time. For instance it did not
pay to run 1T one yea and then be-
cause of plenty of ain in that locality
shut 1t down the next, as it proved to
be too expensive, as the plant had to
be kept up whether in use or not.
He expressed himself before leaving
as being very much pleased with his
visit to Fargo n said that the gov
eminent felt disposed to cooperate in
every way possible with the better
farming association in North Dakota.
