RAILROAD HAS
FILED ARTICLES
Midland Continental Road IS
Preparing 10 Run Route
10 Pemb|na
Company Is Now Capitalized
for Million and Half With
Divided Shares

An interesting document has been
filed in the office of the secretary of
state. 1t is the articles OF corpora
ton of the Midland Continental rail-
road, which Is to extend from Forbes
across the state to Pembina. The
line is now under construction, and
the company had been organized and
incorporated under the laws of South
Dakota, but for some reason this
company has, like some of the older
roads, decided to incorporate in this
state also.
The articles state that the incor-
p%orators are A. D%uncombe, II. L..
Duncombe, John Howden Fraser and
L.. c. Baker of jamestown, j. X.
George, Fl. S. Duncombe, C. p. Cham
berlain. J.. d. Small, e. H. Walker and
A II. Chapman, all of Chicago. The
company has established headquar-
tiers at jamestown.
Regarding the course of the line
through the state, we quote the fol-
lowing from the articles filed with
the secretary of state:
"The places from and to which this
railroad is to be constructed, main
tanned and operated, are: beginning
at a point in the south boundary of
the state of North Dakota, in Dickey
county, at or near the town Of
Forbes, to a point in the north boun-
Diary line of said state in Pembina
county, at or near the town of Penn
bina in said state, said line passing
into Or through the counties of
Dickey, LaMourc, Stutsman, Barnes,
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1912-08-31

Griggs, Nelson, Grand Forks, Walsh
and e Pmbina, and the estimated
length of this railroad is 200 miles"
BY referring to the maps which
show this proposed road, it will be
what. In the above description in the
the route 1t will be noticed that 1t
intends to pass through Barnes coun-
ty, though the maps do not show this
course. It Is thought, however. that
this means it will pass through the
northwest orner of Barnes.
The company is capitalized at ST..
100000, which is to be divided into
$4,000 shares of 800 each. These
shares are to be divided into two
series, $500 each of common and
preferred.
All the above mentioned sharehold-
ers hold one share each of the COM
mon and no preferred, except n. l..
Duncombe of jamestown, who owns
1890 shares of common and all the
preferred.
There Is considerable speculation
as to the meaning of this road, that
is, who is back of it. The fact, as
shown by the above papers filed by
the company, that one man owns
practically the whole amount of stock
is conclusive evidence to the aver
age business man that there is some
other power besides Mr.. Duncombe.
For many years it has been known
that the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul road has intended to build into
that territory at some tine, but it
seems there has been some compact
with other roads which mas prevented
the accomplishment of the work.
It's is looked upon by those who study
the situation as being a Milwaukee
move.
There are now several miles of the
road constructed and the company
has filed its tariffs with the board of
railroad commissioners. The work is
progressing slowly, but will in all
probability be completed by the time
the interets back of it are ready.
However, the road passes through a
splendid territory and promises to
enjoy a good business when in ooerat-
ing order. p. ...'... +

ANOTHER CARLOAD
Of AUTOS RECEIVED
Firm Makes Record
This Season IN Auto and
Implement Sales

Good crops in Burleigh county
have benefited a number of business
firms in Bismarck but it is doubtful il
any one firm has received any larger
benefit than the Bismarck Implement
company, dealers in farm machinery
and automobiles. This large imple-
ment firm has disposed Of more farm
machinery and automobiles this year
than eve before, and not only that,
but the trade is still active and prom
Uses to be so for the next few weeks
to come.
A shipment Of seven Fords, conn.,
posing OF six touring cars and one
delivtry car, arrived in the city
Thursday and were distributed to the
purchasers Friday. The cars were
all sold before their arrival and an
other shipment is looked for in the,
near future. This brings the total
number of sales of the Ford within,
the past few week to twenty-three,
which is considered a very good rec
ord. The automobile sales this yean
have been more active than ever be-
fore and the company thinks that the
good crops are responsible as most
of the cars have been sold to farms
ers.
Although the business has been
in the automobile department it has
been more active in the farm machi-
merry department. THIS company has
sold an enormous amount of farm ma
chinery this summer including trac-
ton engines and threshing outfits.
Although il is an unusual occurrence
three threshing outfits were sold and
delivered this week. 1t is very seldom
that threshing outfits are sold at this
time Of the year but this is the rec
ord made for this company. Traction
engines will be sold until a much
later date as a large majority of farm
ers in this part of the country ploW
their ground by steam.
Although this is only one of the
many firms that are receiving the
benefit of the good crops, it should
