New Railroad Rumored.


There is considerable talk of a new
railroad being built in the state in
the near future and reports have it
that the capital will all be of a local
character, that is, local in the state.
The proposed line will run between
Larimore and New Rockford and will
touch on considerable territory that
is not served directly by any road at
the present. time. Then there is p
chance that if that road is built there
will be a move started for the con-
struction of a line between Bismarck
and New Rockford. This would open.
a lot of new territory to Bismarck
industries that is hard to reach at
the present time. OF course these are
only runors at the present time but
from appearances the lines would be
ones that would be paying ventures.
Bismarck people are interested in
the last named line which would ruin
northeast from the capital city.

Another Real Estate Firm.

The Mckenzie County Land Co..
has been organized at Shafer, in Nc
Kenzie county, with a capital stock
of $4,000. G. l.. Gullickson,. Har-
riet Gullickson, c. C. Converse, all
of Shafer, are named as the first
board of directors and the principal
place of business will be at Shafer.
There should be a good field for this
company as there is a lot OF land in
Mckenzie county that has never been
farmed and 1t has been shown that
there is some of the most productive
land in the state located in this west
ern county. The company will in
addition. to the land business, engage
in the loan business and write and
sell insurance. All parties interested
in the organization are old and we'll

THE DEATH RECORD.
The air is filled with farewells to the dying
DAVID FRANK BILLMYER.


Mr.. David Frank Billmyer, one of the
| Oldest residents OF this neighborhood
died Tuesday morning at the home OF his
son-in-law, Mr.. d. Frank Hill, west of
Shepherdstown. at the age OF SO years,
months and 26 days. His health had
not been good for year or more, and
though at times he would rally, and be-
come sufficiently strong to come to town,
the bodily machinery gradually wore out.
A few weeks ago he took to his bed, and
tuesday he peacefully passed away.
Mr.. BillmYer was one of the best men in
our community. OF the highest integrity,
charitable in thought and deed, genial by
nature and kind-hearted toward all, he
was respected and admired by everyone
who knew him. For many years he had
been consistent member of the Pres
byterlan Church and was an elder for a
long time.
Mr.. Billmyer was member of family
that has long been prominent in this sec
ton. He was son OF John Billmyer.
and was born on the farm in Berkeley
county now owned by Mrs. Bessie Girls
well. His grandfather, Martin Billmyer,
had been one Of the early owners OF Bill
myers grist mill, west of town, and MIR.
Billmyer learned the miller's trade. In
1874 he bought the mill, and after man.
aging it for % years, disposed of it in
