WILL NOT EXTEND
BRANCH THIS YEAR
Great Northern Announces
Intention of Leaving One
Line Alone

Williston, n. D., Feb. G-The dele
cation selected by those present at a
railroad mass meeting held at How
ara TO visit st. Paul and confer with
the officials of the Great Northern
railroad and try to induce them to
extend the Stanley branch from Wild
rose. the present terminus, to the
Montana line. have returned home.
The report of the committee as sub
mitted says they were granted an in
terview by Louis w. Hill, president of
the road. and also had some CONVEX
sation With his father. James j. Hill,
put while they seemed to fully appre-
ciate the position in which the peopl
represented are placed. they stated
very decisively that there would be
no extension of the branch this year,
for h reason that money is scarce
and the conditions in general such that
1t would not a to build at this time.
They were assured, however, that as
soon as conditions warrant it, after
this year. they will extend their line
into that territory.
One of the objections the company
put forth is that the new branch is
not n paying proposition and will not
be for some time.
Louis Hill Is quoted as saying:
Men. don't give up the ship: the man
VINO sticks to 1t is a winner" He did
not make any promise for the future
except hat they would build farther
as soon as conditions would warrant
1t. but h committee has confidence
that with good crops this year they
will realize that condition.
In the interview Mr.. Hill came right
out and said: You can depend on it
we will not build this year" That is
not tho answer the committee wanted
but they consider it better than I'VE
will consider tho matter" or some
such evasive reply.
The committee also had a talk with
the chief engineer of the 500 line in
regard to extending the Crosby branch
into the same territory and he talked
about the same. He said that they
were not going to build anything this
year except to complete some work
that is started.

HOLDEN AT FARGO
Delivered Address to the Agricultural
College Students Monday

Holden from the Iowa agricultural
college at Ames was the speaker at
conVocation exercises yesterday morn
ing in the a. c. armory His SUBJ
ject was on What a Mans Aim in Life
Should Be-" Mr.. Holden is a very
broad minded speaker. His talk was
along the lines hat he has had to
contend with and his remarks appeal
ed in a striking and pleasing manner
to the large crowd of students.
He said that the business Of a col
lege shonld be to real a mighty o
mon people, that the man worth mill
lions was not necessarily the one to
succeed. or the person with the best
education, but the man who helps the
needs of other people also helps him.
self. for the world needs people who
want to do something. He said the
time was coming when colleges will
spend half the year on books and the
other half will be given to the practi-
cal side of education.
He gave as his motto, which he adj
wise every me to have. II will beat
my record" Most people, he said
look too high and want to attain great
things without having to work for
them. Boys and girls should he taught
to think in terms of accomplishment
and action.
In ending he said a person should be
fair and square with themselves and
success would come easy.
