SEAAFER, N. D., May 28.-The
Great Northern railroad has finally de-
cided on it's route Through Mckenzie
county, having abandoned the Little
Missouri river survey and getting
-rews busy on rushing to completion
the line surveyed along the Cherry,
Lonesome and Charbonneau creeks.
The route chosen will necessitate a
larger outlay of money but lit opens
up a better country, and in the esti-
nation of Chief Engineer A. H. Hoge-
land and Assistant Engineer j. M.
Phillips, who came here from st. Paul
to make the selection, it will result lin
bringing the company the biggest
amount Of business.
That some other road will build on
the Little missouri survey ts quite
probable and this means rapid de-
velopment of this section.

WILL RECLAIM MANY ACRES
Bottineau, N. D., Drainage Scheme Of
Mouse River Valley Starts.

BOnTlNEAU, N. D., May 2S.-Work
on the biggest drainage job ever un-
rdertaken lin this state has been COM
menced in the Mouse river, and it will
be completed by next fall. The job is
that of deepening and widening the
channel of the stream, SO as to do away
with the annual flooding of the low
lands. 1t will reclaim thousands OF
acres of land that are now Unfit for
use during portions of the year.
Most of the work is done i'm this
state, although there is a twenty-mile
stretch of the river in Canada which
must also be given attention by the
North Dakota drainage hackers. The
work in Canada will form an outlet
for the water into the Assinaboine
river.
