NORTHERN PACIFIC
PLANS SECOND Line
Fergus Falls Branch to be Ex-
tended Across North Da-
kota to Terry, Mont.
Line West of Wahpeton Being
Laid With Much
Heavier Steel.

Fergus Falls, Mimi, Jan. 2l.-There
is no longer any question about the
Northern Pacific extending the Fergus
Falls branch line across North Dakota
to connect with the main line at Terry,
Mont, the coming summer. There
are two gaps to be filled. one from
Edgeley, N. D., to Cannonball, N. D.,
and the other from Mott, N. D., to
Terry, Mont.
j. E. Hovlng, roadmaster of this di-
vision, has recently been sent west to
direct the work of construction crews
of Greeks and Bulgarians who are at
work replacing the present rails with
rails of heavier type on the line west
of Wahpeton. Many carloads of rails
and ties pass through here from time
to time to the west.
The completion of the road will give
the Northern Pacific new and shorter
route from the coast than that afforded
by the present main line, but neither
the grades nor the roadbed are equal
to those of the main line. In this. con-
nection there are rumors of extensive
changes to be made IN the roadbed.
One report that comes from Wadena
is that plans have been prepared to
run the line north of Battle Lake, this
county, instead Of south of the lake,
as at present. Should this plan be
carried out, it would leave the villages
of Henning. Battle Lake, Vining and
Clitherall off the railroad.

EFFICIENCY BUREAU
Aim to Effect Economics and Ellmi-

Aim to Effect Economics and Ellmi-
nate Lost Motion.
St. Paul, January l6-To promote
the welfare of patrons and employees of
the company, to effect greater economy
in operation, to raise the standard of
individual and department work, and
out of this closer coordination to de-
rive a greater degree of dispatch and
safety in the performance of its func-
tions, President Howard Elliott of the
Northern Pacific has established bu-
reau of efficiency under the jurisdiction
of the operating department in charge
of Mr.. George T. Slade, third vice
president. The headquarters of the
bureau will be at St. Paul, and the Of
fetal circular creating the bureau
states that Mr.. Charles T. Banks will
be in direct charge of the bureau.
The circular says: "The super inten-
dent of each division will act as the
local representative to whom employees
will offer suggestions and report con-
ditions and practices toward and in
which the bureau can exercise it's Of
fee of effecting improvement. En-
ployes are requested to confer freely
with the superintendent on all subjects
and to make suggestions for the i'm
provement of the service or working
conditions as they now exist.
Employees are enjoined in the circular
to give the work of the bureau their
earnest and sympathetic cooperation,
and emphasis is laid upon the point
that every employe ought to feel aper-
sonal interest in the movement for the
! benefit, not alone of the patrons of the
road, but the employe himself and his
family. .
The Northern Pacific already has the
reputation of operating its lines with as
low cost as any other road occupying
similar territory and working under
similar conditions.

ERS APPOINTED.

A large majority in value of the
owners Of property within the district
is said to have been secured on the
final petition for the organization of
Street Paving District No. / of Con-
way, recently established by the city

and Specifications drawn for the paw
ing and secure estimates of the cost
OF the Improvement.
The district embraces all of Front

square, from the Masonic hall to a
point about $50 feet south of Main
street, and the irtersecting streets,
North and Oak, from the railroad
right f-way east to Chestnut street.
1t is roughly estimated that the cost
Of the paving will be about $25 5000.

FORTUNE is SPENT
FOR FERTILIZER HERE
DEALERS ESTIMATE AT LEAST
$4,000 is PAID OUT FOR IT
IN FAULKNER COUNTY.

That Faulkner county will paw out
at least $4,000 and probably S1OO 900
for commercial fertilizer this season.
is the estimate of one of the leading
local dealers in the commodity. No
exact records Of the amount shipped
in to Conway has been kept, but it is
known that at least $50 carloads and
possibly 200 have already been
brought here this season. A carload
usually contains 20 tons, and the av-
erage retail price of the fertilizer is
about $22.50 per ton.
The use of commercial fertilizer has
been rapidly increasing in this section
for several years. There are a half
dozen local dealers, and a large num-
ber of farmers have been combining
and purchasing fertilizer in carload
quantities direct from the factory. AL
though it represents large outlay of
money, those who use the commercial
fertilizer claim it is paying propois-
ton, returning in increased produc-
ton several times the cost of apply
ing it.
