Will CONSTRUCT TWENTY
MORE MILES OF RAILROAD
Line 10 Extend West From
Stanton THIS Fall
Material Ordered
Work VIII Commence Sep.
TENDER Is and be Com.
pIeled Oct. Is

Mandan, N. ID. Aug. ~16.-Reauisi
ton has been made by the Northern
Pacific for material for 20 miles o.
railroad to- be constructed west from
Stanton this fall, and though no Ger
tain details have been given out. il
is generally believed here that the
company expects to haVeiw0rk under
way by September Is, which will in
sure the completion of the 20 miles
Of line by Get. Is at tile latest.
News of the %company's sudden de-
cision in the long pending matter was
brought Sunday4by Chief Engineer P.
E. Than, who came in from st. Paul
to look after the preliminary arrange.
ments and went directly out again
on business connected with the work.
Although the reQuisition calls for
line only 20 miles west, probably to
Harrington, it may be that if every
thing goes we'll and the work is COM
menced by the middle Of September.
the line will be extended to Golden
Valley, a distance of IS miles. The
whole could easily be completed by
the latter part OF October.
1t is still early to ascertain whe-
Their a contract will be let for the
steel or whether the Northern Pacific
will do. the work direct, but the latter
course probably will be pursued. as
the distance is so short, and they
have all the steel that will be needed.
E%ighty-five pound steel will be laid
according to the announcement. and
it probably will come from that which
was replaced all ango the main line
this summer by 80 and 1OO-pound
steel. The S5-pound pals are still
standard main line steel, SO it al
pears that the company intends max
ing the line as good and a service
able as possible right from the start.
In accordance with their regular
custom, the N. P. has waited until
