ELECTRIC
Line TO CROSBY
Williston Northern Railway
Soon to Have Line in
Operation.

Williston, n. D., Aug. 5.-The Will
liston & Northern electric railway will
be extended from Williston to Crosby.
That has definitely been determined
upon by the directors. The survey is
now completed more than fifty miles.
Construction work is to begin at both
ends of the line and rushed to COM
can be sold and contracts let. The
road may some day be converted into
a regular line. but at present it will
be an electAc. With the unlimited
quantity of high grade coal all along
the route it will be an easy matter
to furnish the electric power. The
road is to be standard grade so ordin-
airy freight cars can be hauled over
the line and transferred to the Great
Great Northern and the 500 at Crosby.
Ihere are some people who assert
that the enterprise is altogether a
Great Northern movement This,
however, is not the true situation,
The road is being constructed bv. the
people between Crosby and Williston
as protest against the Great North
ern, and because Of their ability to
get the Great Northern to give a great
area of relief even by the further ex-
tension of existing branch lines. BY
getting 500 connections at Crosby. the
electric people will then be able to
secure concessions from both the
Great Northern and the 500, as the
roads will compete for the freight
created along the electric line. There
is also some talk of purchasing the
right OF way through the scorio valley
west from 2ahl to the Montana line
for branch of the electric road and
that is practically certain to be con-
structed next year

MAKING
GREAT INDUSTRY
Revival Of Interest in North
Dakota Along That
Line.

Bismarck, Aug. 5.-There seems to
be revival Of interest in cheese MAX
ing In this state, and Dairy Commits
sioner Flint Is receiving quite a num-
Der OF inquiries regarding the indus
try. It is to be hoped 1t is a revival
and that after a lethargy Of nearly 20
years the state will regain an import
ant industry which it had in the early
days and which passed out Of exis-
tence for almost two decades.
Seven Factories in 1895.
Agriculture and Labor Laughlin re-
ported that the beginning of the year
1895 there were seven cheese fac
tories in the state manufacturing "a
092 pounds of cheese, and at the close
Of the year there were 81 factories
manufacturing 3S7,2s4 pounds of
cheese. Mr.. Laughlin further stated
that there were 1885 pounds of
cheese made in private dairies and
families, or 510,43s pounds in the
state.
First at Lisbon.
The frst cheese factory in the state
was established at Lisbon and was the
banner factory Of North Dakota, hav-
and manufactured $4,000 pounds Of
cheese during the season. w. E.
Tinckom, the manager, bought milk
at zoe and 75c per hundred. and found
a ready market for his products at 16c
to lie per pound. Prices Of both milk
and cheese are from 25 to 33 per cent
higher now. and 1t would appear that
the industry should prove a profitable
one to both the dairyman and the
manufacturer.
Disappear.
But all these cheese factories disap-
peared and the question naturally
arises as to the cause Of the disap-
pearance. Various causes are attrib-
uted, chief among which are these:
Milk for cheese-making must be
sweet. hence must be delivered daily
In the summer time and at least ev-
cry other day in the winter. In 8
sparsely settled country, where ir
many cases long drives are necessary
the task was too great, especially dur
ing the harvest and threshing seasons
In those days 1t was so easy to raise
wheat, and the dairy called for &c
much diligence that dairying natural
ly became irksome and dwindled un.
til the factory was required to quit
business. -.
Creamery Popular.
The creamery also became popular
and IN many places supplanted the
cheese factory.
revival, for Mr. Flint says he has re.
ceived more inquiries regarding the
establishing of creameries in the past
six months than he has received dur.
ing the past six years. Two cheese
factories have been established durine
the present season, with the prospect
Of others soon.

How lovely they were!
The old days Of morning,
With dsw-drench on the flowers.
And apple buds and blossoms
OF these old days Of ours.
Then was the real gold,
Spendthrift summer flunK:
Then was the real song
Bird or poet sung!
There was never censure then
Only honest praise
And all things were worthy Of it
In the old days.
There bide the true friends
Tho first and the best;
There clings the green grass
Close where they rest;
Would they were there? No.
Would they were there!
Would we were there!
How lovely they were!
