Gold Strike in Poudre River.

SO there are no crossings to indicate to

Autos come noiselessly along and al

| TRAIN SCHEDULE
SUGGESTION MADE TO FARGO
COMMERCIAL CLUB AND STATE
RAILROAD COMMISSION THAT
ALL NJ. p. TRAINS AccoMMo-
DATE PASSENGER TRAFFIC.

The following communication to The
Forum from Frank v. Steele, North
Dakota manager of the A. J, Dean Co.
of Minneapolis, has been submitted as
a suggestion to the Fargo Commercial
club and state railroad commission
that all trains on the Northern Pacific
accommodate passenger traffic within
the state. Below is Mr.. Steele's letter
to The Forum:
"For the convenience of North Da-
kota travellers and citizens, I ask for
the publicity of your. publication and
take. the liberty to suggest that the
Fargo Commercial club, as well as
commercial clubs along the Northern
| Pacific, viz, Valley City, jamestown,
Bismarck, Dickinson and others oper-
ating with travellers organizations,
wholesale houses and private individu-
ais petition our governor and rail-
road commission for their power to
obtain privilege to ride on trains No.
l and No. 2 on the Northern Pacific
between county seat towns according
to the laws Of the state.
"These trains run through North
Dakota making several stops, endanger
life and property but are Of no use to
the people of North Dakota within the
state, not even so much as riding from
the largest city of the city to its capt.
tai, Q from riding from within any
city within the state to the twin cities.
"For one wishing to take the North
| ern Pacific to North Dakota points
from Minneapolis in the day time one
finds very poor train service as No. /
leaves at IL o'clock, getting into Fargo
ahead Of No. 5. They prohibit passen-
gers from riding on No. 1 unless to far
western points. No. 5 follows at 11:10
o'clock. 1t Is but one old standard
sleeper that is always SO crowded that
it has been Impossible to get first class
seating on hat train, so even from
Minneapolis and St. Paul we have no
accommodation on the daylight trip.
"By the use Of trains Nos. 1 and 2
the North Dakota travelling public can
save time M money and have more
comfort. Surely the citizens of a big
state Of more than a half million peo-
pie ought to be accorded train service
that is equal to any in other parts Of
the country, especially when our mer-
chants and business men are just as
heavy shippers as will be found else
where.

The place where the mushrooms, SO

Poor mother was shaken with fever

bIoorned ON the hill

Ga, an amusing feature occurred at
the Union depot. A train from the
south pulled in and az usual oil the
colored baggage helpers rushed to as
sist in unloading and transferring the
baggage. A rough box containing a
corpse proved to be a part Of the
baggage. Just as four or five negroes
were removing the dead ma from the
car and were placing it on the truck
a muffled voice from within the box
was plainly heard to say: Let me
out! Let me Quit" Well Of all the
scared negroes you ever saw these
were the limit. They let loose their
hold on the box, gazed at n another
a moment and then part of them dash
ed madly down the track as though
the old nick was after them. The re-
naming ones stood like ebony statues
so frightened they could not move.
Finally, after a big effort, one of them
called in a whisper to the baggage
master: Help boss. For de Lawd's
sake take me away from dis box
quick. After much explaining from
the aggag master they were induced
to very gingerly haul the truck into the

Ridgeway to Remain in Darkness.

The mass meeting in Hopperstad
& Brekke's hall last Friday evening
brought forth an enthusiast,
bunch of voters who discussed the
proposition of municipal electric
lights and water works fer Ridge
way.
1t was clearly shown that our cit
liens wanted water works in prefer
ence to electric lights. OF course we
need both, but the cost of the two
together seem to be prohibitive.
The vote on the water works prop
osition alone was 35 for ana "a
against. If put up to the people at
a special election the result miSbt
be close, but if the voters can be
shown the proposition in the right
light we believe they will vote to
bond the town for water works. We
hope to see the measure submitted TO
our people at an early date.-Review
