TWENTY MARRY
At ellis ISLAND
Twenty Blushing Brides Reach Ellis
Island to Take Husbands.

New York, May Twenty blush
ing brides ran down the gang plank
of the steamship California yesterday
into the arms of twenty eagle BRIDE
grooms. Gladness reigned until the
immigration authorities found that
eight of the girls did not have papers
to prove their identity and told them
they could not remain unless they were
married first at Ellis Island, the immi-
grafton detention station. When the
other twelve heard this they said they
would all stand together and the 20
couples left to find clergyman. Tho
prospective brides came from Scotland
and ireland and the immigration au.
thorities said they were the prettiest
as well as the largest company that
ever came here to be married.

CANADA TO GULF
ROAD IS DOOMED

Darlington, N. D., May earring.
ton people are feeling more optimistic
over the possibilities Of securing the
Hudson Bay-Gulf of Mexico road. Last
year two promoters worked this sec
tion Of the state for some time and Sc.
cured many promises of cooperation,
in the right of way and otherwise.
Since then they have been at work in
South Dakota where a great deal OF
progress is reported. They write that
by 1915 line will be running north
and south from the Canadian country
to the gulf. The idea is to complete
the line by the time the Panama can,
al is in operation. English money is
behind the plan and it is currently re-
ported that the Canadian Pacific is in
tcrestcd.

500 IS TO PUSH
WORK IN mon ANA
RYDER-PLAZA EXTENSION TO Elk
TEND FATHER THAN AT
FIRST PLANNED.

Williston, N. D., May Tho exten-
sion Of two 500 lines in western
North Dakota into Montana will be
directed from this city, Offices for the
resident engineer having been estab-
lished here. M. G. Huss will be in
charge h.re, and with the construction
equipment already on the ground,
early steps will be taken for the COM
pletion Of both lines, one extending
from point between Ryder and Plaza
and the other running west from Am
brose.
Although there has been some IN
certainty as to the construction Of the
Ryder-Plaza extension into Montana
some operations already carried on
there indicate that the company in
tends to push the line this year.
From Ambrose comes the report that
there is a strong possibility that line
will be extended further than origin
ally intended, as much more equip
ment has been brought into the dis
trict than is required for the road
from here to Plentywood, Mont, as
originally intended. The complete
right-of-way from here to Plentywood
has been purchased.
With work being done on the line
between Bismarck and Wilton, it is
generally supposed that the 500 in
tends to change the route Of some Of
its coast trains from the present line
to Portal, N. D., to the new line, which
will carry them through Central Mon
tana, joining the main line in Canads
at the northwest corner of Montana
