birmingham as Convention city

1.-THE two handsome slSyscraper ho-
tells being erected will easily put Bir-
mingham in the convention class" said
Charles Cartmell of Philadelphia. "This
is not only well advertised city but
people like to come here.
"Of course. there must be a large
auditorium-large enough to aecommo-
date with comfort national body, but
I understand that such an auditorium
is projected and that 1t will material
ize within the next 12 months. 1 think
that beginning with next year Bir-
mingham may count on three or four
big national meetings a year.
81 first saw Birmingham about 16
years ago. 1t was then small town
and while 1 imagined 1t would grow to
considerable size because of its raw
material resources / had no idea that
it would be such a large and handsome
city as it is today Not many cities in
this country are SO much talked about
in the north as Birmingham"

Prosperity Continues in Evidence


The last half of 1912 witnessed new
high records In many lines of business
and thus far this year we have had a
good deal of solid prosperity" said j. y.
Windham of Chicago. while some busi-
Tess men may have felt uneasy lest the
democratic administration. and especially
tariff revision. might retard progress, one
hears little talk of that sort now.
IT voted the democratic ticket, but
friends who did not are anticipating good
times Just as I am. 1t is generally pre-
dfcted that we will have much business
activity In April. and If the early re-
ports from the agricultural districts are
favorable activity will increase with the
approach of summer. 1 believe that If
we have big crops again this year 1918
will pass into history as an exceptionally
prosperous year"

new FARMING
IDEA TAKES HOLD

t'cssenden, n. d., April 2.-That
farming operations will soon make a
wonderful change in Wells county is
apparent to anyone who has the least
perception Of what is taking place,
every indication pointing surely to the
fact that stock and corr and diversified
farming generally will soon take the
place of the one crop farm. This is
shown in numerous incidents n
ways. chief among which is the great
interest being shown in live stock OF
every kind and particularly a desire 10
obtain a foundation for a dairy herd.
Early in the winter the interest in
the importation of dairy cattle be-
came so urgent that public meetings
were called and held at Harvey, FEES
sendcn and other points in the COun-
ty, and as a result w. F.. Cooke OF
Harvey has brought from Wisconsin
and New York several car loads,
some $50 head in all, Of HOlstein
hcifcrs, COWS and bulls. He showed
the first car load at Fessenden and
sold a number then and has since
gotten. what he says, some very fine
individuals from New York state, in
Guiding a few pure bred bulls. He
has entered the dairy business him
self, has a large silo on his farm near
Harvey full. and intends to follow
up the business DeSldeS SeItlnS the
entire section interested in the dairy
stock. Anyone wanting suCh stuff
would do we'll to see what Mr.. Cooke
has and at the same time inspect his
big silo and farm which may furnish
ideas for farmers who contemplate
going into the business.
Resides what Mr.. Cooke has done
many others throughout the county
have procured new stock of one kind
or another, from horses to pure bred
fowls. Christ Rageth, also of Har-

Of the Braeger herd last fall. has re-
Gently added a pure bred short horn
bull which he purchased at Armenia,
this state. T. e. Clarke, the better
farming man. says this animal is n
of the very best in the state n it's
good qualities are recognized at the
state fair at Fargo, where 1t won
prizes.
II. r. Crinklaw, county treasurer,
who is again going to take up the
business of farming this spring, pur-
chased three HolStein cows while in
the city last week which he intends
only as a starter to more extensive
purchases as soon as he finds some
thing really good that suits him. He
also brought eight head of horses for
his farm, seven of which were brood
mares.
Two weeks ago T. l.. Beiseker, the
Fessenden banker, shipped in seven
high grade brood mares with foal.
These he will use on his farm adjoin-
ing the city and where he intends
building up a model place, not prim-
arily for profit, but more to appease
his natural desire to have a real farm.
All these things help ito hasten the
day when good stock and lots of it
will be found on every farm in the
county.
The present prices of horses and
cattle certainly ought to show the
way to turn dry. lean years into profit
able ones for the wise farmer. The
prices paid for good cows is almost
beyond belief. Mr.. Crinklaw says
that at a sale he attended near Min
neapolis hat COWS brought as high
as $40, and the way horses are picked
up at all sales here shows how much
in demand draft stuff is.

A RELIC OF Big FIRE
Old Iron Safe Was Found Under
Sidewalk North of the First
National Bank Building.

A relic of the fire of twenty years
ago next June which destroyed the
greater part of Fargo was unearthed
yesterday afternoon in the runway
underneath the sidewalk on N. P. ave-
nue. alongside of the First National
bank.
The wOrkmen have been engaged in
~excavating for a run way over which
will be placed prismglass for the
basement, when they encountered a
hard substance and after a time TN
covered an old iron safe of the
smaller type. 1t had evidently beef
either thrown or fallen from the
second story building Of the structure
which stood on the corner of Broad
way and N. P. avenue at the time of
the fire. 1t is likely that the old safe
will be hoisted to the sidewalk and
further investigated.

RAILROADS FILE
APPEAL NOTICE

Bismarck. n. D., April 2. - The
board of railroad commissioners has
teen served jointly by the Great
Northern and 500 lines with a notice
of. appeal from the commissions
recent order to those companies to
either establish physical connections
between the two lines at points where
the roads intersect on the 500 wheat
line" or institute q freight rate equal
to the short haul rate. The notice of
appeal sets up that the law under
which the commission has acted is
unconstitutional inasmuch as it de
rives the appellants of their property
without due process of law and is so
vague, indefinite end uncertain that
it would be impossible to comply with
the same" The case will be heard
before the district court of Ward
county April 8, at which time the rail-
road commission is to hold a stated
meeting at that point covering April
s, 9 and 10 for the transaction of any
business which may come before the
hoard.
This cas- arose on the application
of the National Briquetting Co. of
Kenmare for the institution by the
commission of the short haul rate on
the Great Northern for shipments Of
Ignite coal to points on Great North
ern branches which could more cheap
lY be reached via the wheat line" If
yves at interesting points were in
stalled. At the hearing which follow
ed last February the Great Northern
resisted both the installation of yves
and he Institution Of the short haul
rate on the ground that the law was
unconstitutional. but as the law was
plain, the commission made the order
which is now being contested in
court.
The case is a very important one
as it affects every railroad crossing
iE the state where the installation of
yves or institution of short haul rates
would make easier the shipment of
merchandise from one road to an
ether and thus agreatly benefit ship
rers generally, so naturally the out
come will be awaited with interest.

EXTENSION FROM
r STANTON west

Dickinson, N. D.. April 1.-The
question of the extension of the
Northern Pacific railroad from Stan
ton west into Dunn county the coming
season seems to be definitely settled.
The company has not only secured OPP
tions but actually purchased the right
of-way for the greater part of the pro-
posed line from Golden Valley in Mer-
Ger county to Melby in Dunn county,
and it is likely that contracts for the
grading Of the last extension will be
let within a short time and work &C
tually commenced.
During the winter there was a great
deal of talk about the Northern Paci-
fc building across Dunn county into
the Mary country, but this was all
speculation. 1t seems to be we'll set
tied now that the company does not
contemplate extending it's line further
han Melby on the east edge of range
"a. However, officials of the Northern
Pacific have in mind a visit to Dick
inson in the ear future, at which time
an auto trip will be- made into Dunn
county. 1t is presumed that one OBJ
ject of their visit will be to see if Mel
by is a feasible point for a terminal
division Of the branch line out from
Mandan, the total distance being
about 115 miles.

If crop conditions are favorable and
the necessary help "a be. secured it
may reasonably be expected that the
road will be ironed into Dunn county
in time to take out the crop in the fall.
If conditions are the way they were in
1912 it might be that the company
would only get the road ready for roll
ing stock as far as Golden Valley,
about fifteen miles southeast of Halli-
day. o.
Melby is quite central in Dunn
county, about midway east and west.
If the railroad stops at Melby, the
distance to Dickinson by air line
measurements, would be about thirty
miles and by road thirtY-fiy or more.
If the road was pushed up. Spring

distance to Dickinson would still re-
main about the same. The distance
from Manning to Melby is nine or ten
miles and If the line was extended up
the creek far enough to make another
town. the distance would still be prac-
eighteen miles from Melby and the
people around the Kildeer mountains
would be glad to see the road UP
Spring creek a little further. This,
however, is a business proposition

HAULED OVERLAND

Williston, n. D., April 2.-Brickson
G. Long, contractors for the Great
Northern, operating in Mckenzie
county, have been busy moving two
grading locomotives overland from
here to the scene of operations. They
are taking two of these engines to the
line from here. The first of the two
was hauled out Monday. The engines
each weigh about ten tons. They were
each loaded on a heavy bobsled, which
was drawn by six horses. Contractor
Erickson stated that by careful in
spection he believed the ice on the riv-
err to be of sufficient strength to insure
the safe crossing of the heavy outfit.
The engines will be taken on beyond
Schafer, a distance of about IS
miles from here. The contractors
are making every effort to have their
machinery and supplies on hand when
