NORTH DAKOTA Will HAVE OVER

Great Projects Being Handled by Big Companies.
For several years North Dakota has

For several years North Dakota has
led the states in the extent of new
railroad lines constructed, and the
year 1913 shows the usual activity
among the rival railroad mileage in
the state was nearly 5000.
One of the shortest of the new lines
under construction this year, and yet
at the same time one of the most i'm
portant, is the twenty-five miles of
track just completed from Niobe. on
the Eerthold-Crosby branch of the
Great Northern, straight north
through Bowbells to the Canadian
boundary. connecting with the Grand
Trunk Pacific at the new town of
Northgate South, twelve miles east of
Portal.
This forms the much-talked-of
western connecting link between the
Great Northern and the Grand Trunk
systems. which will make it possible
to operate Grand Trunk Pacific trains
over Great Northern rails into Mime
apolis, in competition with the Cana
dian Pacific and the So.
The Grand Trunk Pacific has COM
pleted its line from Regina to the
boundary. and the combined lines are
expecting to be ready for regular
trains within ten days. This connec-
ton practically will give Fargo and
Minot a third transcontinental line,
when the Grand Trunk Pacific is com
pleted to Prince Albert.

Track Is now being laid on about
thirty miles Of new grade on h Mid

completed before the close of the year.

BARNS IN RUINS
Terrific Storm Sweeps Abercrombie
District With Heavy Losses.

A~bercrombie, n. D., Aug. 14.-This
section was struck by a severe wind
and rain storms about 4 o'clock yes
terday morning, several buildings be-
ing blown over, nearly every window
in the town being demolished and
during the hour the storm continued
four inches of rain fell. Hail fell in
several places and corn was badly hit.
No n is reported dead or injured.
The storm came from the west and
more than a mile Of telephone lines
were blown down here. A large barn
on the farm Of E. NJ. Hackett was
blown to pieces and scattered over the
country. Three sheds on the Has
teladen farm were blown into the Red
river and there is scarcely whole
widow pane in the village. Another
barn at Colfax was blown down.
Much excitement prevailed for a.
while as the storm came on while the
people were asleep and the violence
awakened them suddenly. Heavy hail
fell for a time and added to the con-
fusion. The corr crop has been badly
beaten down in places and harvesting
has been delayed for a time.
