council for the purpose of constructing
the proposed Dilworth extension, that
the city on the other side of the Red

week from Chicago to attend to mat
tiers in connection with the Moorhead
franchise, left this afternoon for his
home in the windy city. Shortly be-
fore leaving the Gardner. hotel for the
Northern Pacific station, he was ask
ed about the truth of this rumor.
There is absolutely nothing to it,s
said Mr.. Kahn to a Forum representa-
tive. "Our extension is to go through
Moorhead and secure a r~ight-of-way

never once intimated that we would
pass through the outskirts of the city

such a report started for it neve could

Mr.. Kahn's many friends regretted
to see him depart this afternoon, but
it is altogether probable tina he will
be back in the neal future in business

MERCER COUNTY
TO GET RAILROAD

Stanton, N. D., March 2S.-A corps
of Northern Pacific surveyors arrived
at Stanton yesterday. They are now
busily engaged in r~esurveying the
right of way into Stanton.
This confirms the report, just cur
rent, that work on the grade is to be
resumed, as Don as weather condi-
tons will permit, and hat the road
is to be completed into Stanton at
once, at as early date as possible, not
later than June Is.
In all probability the grading along
the proposed Knife river branch out of
Stanton will be done this season; for
the company is calling its six months
options on the the Knife river right of
way. Ed Schafer received his money
on March 20 and Sheriff Heinemeyer
has been notified to call at the bank,
sign the deed and receive his money
for the right of way across his land.
The company is buying and paying
for the right Of way up the Knife,
which is highly pleasing to the people
along the Knife and in Dunn county.
The earnest, conscientious and per-
sistent efforts of the stanton boosters
and their friends to persuade the
Northern Pacific to resume the build
ing of the line which it abandoned at
Sanger, t~wenty-four miles southeast
Of here in 1910 is about to be crowned
with success. The entire Missouri
slope is rejoicing with stanton at the
prospect.
There is one maj in Stanton de-
serving OF special mention. G. r..
Schweigert. He, it was. who not only
made it possible to show President
Elliott Of the Northern Pacific the
wonderful of majestic Mer-
cers' at the Mercer county booth at the
industrial exposition, but also for Mer-
Ger county to take fourth place in the
state on county exhibits. President
Elliott could hardly refuse to complete
his line into q county that could take
fourth prize under the disadvantage
of being forty-five miles from q rail-
road and of having to haul the exhibit
sixty-five miles overland in wagons to
Bismarck.
