NORTH DAKOTA To
LEAD ALL STATES
Expected that Railroad Con-
s~truction in 1913 Will
Exceed the Records.
MANY BIG LINES
WILL BE BUILT
st. Louis, Great Northern,
Northern Pacific and 500
Lines have Extensions.
North Dakota

North Dakota will in 1918 again
lead the states in%thc point of ney rail-
Way mileage, just as il did in 1912. and
several other years. Construction
projects by three railroads. and the
prospects Of work hy Il fourth line,
will place this state at the head of the
column. - *
OF the; recently announced 500 ex-
tension from Plaza % Montana. nearly
largely through Mackenzie county. The
extension from Ambrose, to. Plenty
wood. Mont. will add thirty more
miles.
The Great, Northern will have the
greatest amount of new mileage with
its line from. New Rockford to Lewis
town, Mont Over 200 miles of. that
Inc will be in North. Dakota.
The Northern Pacific will have a
heavy mileage by the construction of
the line from Stanton to Join the
county. being: distance of about nine
ty miles. while the proposed compile
ton Of a line about fifty miles south Of
the present main" line. which will ne
cessitate extensions from Edgeley to
Cannon BAH and from Mott to the
state boundary line. will add about $50
more miles.
In addition to these projects. there
is the possibility that the Milwaukee
railroad will do construction work in
the southwestern part of the state.
Surveyors have been working in that
district, supposedly for the Milwaukee
limo, hut just what work is to be done
is uncertain.
The Minneapolis & st. Louis limo is
also projected tn cross tho state. some
time. The line will run from Water
town. S. D., into Canada. and it will
be constructed either this year or next.
The general opinion prevails that 1t
will not be built until 1914.

NorthWood Editor Sees Grand
Forks: as a City of Progress
Points to Her Advances During the Past Few Years, Blu,
Declares That Corn and Clover Convention is Big
gest Feature Ever Attempted For Farmers.

Some observations, by We
Northwood SCRIBE" who is none
other than Dan Campbell, the
versatile editor Of the Northwood
Cleaner, arc right interesting to
h average Grand Forks resident.
lie sees in Grand Forks typical
city, advancement work. and does
not hesitate at admitting IL.
Grand Forks is growing into a great
Lig city symbolical of IL greater North
Dakota. This impression has occurred
to us from time to time as we con-
.templated her fame as Il convention
city and the increasing number of sub
stantial industries and manufacturing
interests that were promoting her up
building. And as VIC have noted the
splendid work in it's broadening
scope Of her commercial club and 9TH
er agencies which are advertising this
queen among North Dakota cities. and
can be only compared in their active
work Ior her advancement and growth
to such world-famed commercial
bodies as those of Spokane and other
great western cities which arc in the
van of the twentieth century pro-
Sress.
But it remained for her Corn and
Glover convention and Mid Winter
falr To open our eyes to the real
greatness of Grand Forks and what
she means to North Dakota and tho
nation. The work Of this convention
aud fair will focus the attention and
admiration of tho northwest. There
is Il whole week tf it. and it will be Il
short week at that. 1t is the greatest
school ever conceived for the advance
mcnt and prosperity of North Dakota
for the production of more wealth
per capita. and the founding of a
greater commonwealth. That the
farmers are beginning to realize this
fact is evidenced by the increasing
numbers that are coming from every
direction to attend the sessions IF this
great convention. and the eagerness
With which they listen to their in
structors.
Grand Forks has gathered here a
great corps Of scientific authorities
who not only know OF what they are
talking hut offer practical and COM
nonsense advice that is invaluable.
They arc mon who are genuinely in
tcrestcd i'm promoting better farming
ana the prosperity of the farmer in
this state and throughout the nation.

Their talks are Of fascinating interest
even to the partially disinterested citi-
zen whose attendance MAJ be acuatcd
by curiosity or his interest in the gen.
cral welfare of the citizenship of the
state. but no progressive farmer can
afford to miss this convention. and, il
possible. he should be present at every
session. II Is a great school and it Is
for him. and 1t means much to him.
In the final analysis it stands for more
prosperity for all of us, and a greater
North Dakota.
Grand Forks is an example of what
a: live city can and is doing. We are
an proud of her. We of Northwood

lions of the residence sections. is our
particular pride. Under this admins
tration also was built our city hall.
which architectually from either an
interior or exterior view is "a thing of
beauty and Il joy forever" Probably
no other city of Northwood's size in

Other Conditions S~atisfac4orx

Conditions with reference to other
diseases are also very good. the num-
Der Of cases of various sicknesses re-
ported being exceptionally low. SMALL
pox is entirely absent from the re-
ports. and a few measles cases for
the past month seemingly have been
controlled and there is little possibility
of a further spread of hat disease.
During the year 1913 it is the aim
of the city health officials to even fur
