Will MOTT GET
The 500 ROAD?
WIRELESS TELEGRAPHlc ...REl
PORTS SAY THAT THE 500 LINE.
HAS DESIGNS ON MOTT

The Mott Pioneer Press: Rumors
are rife to the effect that the 500
road, which is a thorn in the side OF
the opposition railroad interests in
this state, will build through Mott
in the near future. Report has 1t
from an unofficial source that the
500 is DESTROYS of tapping the country
between Pollock, S. d., and their
main line at Portal. N. d.. making
almost a direct north and south line.
A line Of this kind Las some merit,
as nothing of the nature has yet
been attcmr lied by any road and would
serve as il connecting link for the traf.
fic to the Gulf of Mexico. The line
from Pollock to Portal, which is a di.
rect shoot north Of Mott, would ira
verse an unexcelled farming and
stock country. comprising Adams,
Hettinger. Stark Dunn, Mountrail and
Burke counties.
While considered a gigantic feat
from a transportation standpoint, it
does not appear unreasonable at all.
1t would mean an immense approp-
ration, but from a standpoint Of re-
turns, such a line would be a winner.

Distance Of Planets.

The distance Of the SUI and planets
from the earth may best be perceived
by the following fact: A train OF cars
going at q mile Il minute would
reach the moor in $50 days, Venus in
fifty years, Mars in seventy-six years.
Mercury in 10 years, the sun In 175
years, Jupiter in TAO years. Saturn In
lao years. Uranus in 3,1GO years,
Neptune in 5,O55 years. 10 reach the
nearest fixed star our train. steadily

would require about 40,OO0,O0O years.

tel, where luncheon was served to all.
Music was furnished by the Wilton
orchestra during the time luncheon
was served and many comments were
heard on all sides on the excellent
music rendered. The huge dining
room was appropriately decorated
with flags and bunting, and a most eX-
cellent luncheon was served under
the direction of Chef Billy Miner OF
Bismarck. ...
The Miners hotel is a commodious
building, situated one-half mile from
the mine and has accommodations for
100 men. The rooms are generally
filled during the fall and winter sea
sons. The building is steam-heated
and archaeological throughout, and is
in charge Of a competent manager.
After the guests had satisfied the in.
ner man they were again escorted to
the train and taken directly to the
mine. Here, they were taken below
the surface in companies of 30, being
in charge of Supt. p. j. Cahill and a
corps of experienced miners.

are used in various capacities
throughout the mine.
The party was then loaded into a
train of ten coal cars, which had been
thoroughly cleaned and covered with
canvass. and given a fast ride behind
an electric motor to all parts OF the
mine. Frequent stops We're made to
inspect the various demonstrations Of
coal mining. One Of the sights worth
seeing was the mammoth electric cut
ting machine, which drives it's huge
knives six feet into the coal vein at
the surface of the mine. After the
machine has severed the coal the
miner places a stick of dynamite in
the wall Of Ignite, with the result
that it is loosened sufficiently for him
to begin action with pick and shovel
and load into cars. When filled these
cars are drawn by mules to the motor
line and there taken to the bottom of
the shaft, which is often several niles
away from where the miner is work
ing. Many of the guests were aston
