THE LEADER.

From the time of it's inception, in
1877, the above named store has be-
come, as its name implies, ''The Lead
er" in this vicinity in the line of gen.
eral mercantile stores. This is not only
due to the superior quality of goods
handled, and the reasonable prices
quoted, but to the personal efforts of
the energetic and capable proprietor
of the store, Mr.. F. Kron. This gen.
tleman has always taken an impor-
tant part in civic affairs and is we'll

readers and friends who have long

He drilled them in the gentle art of
charging and blocking and of opening
up holes for the backfeld chargers.
1t was a strenuous workout they go;,
but it was worth while, for near the
end of the practice the linemen were
working like veterans.
Gill also handed out a few new
plays yesterday and drilled the me::
in them till they had them we'll in
hand. The additional. plays give the
Fliokertails a wide repertory and one
that ought to give the Coyotes some
difficulty.
The players probably will get a light
scrimmage this afternoon. The sec
ond squad has been working on plays
that South Dakota used against Mon
tana, and these will be tried on the
regulars. The varsity also will try
out it's attack on the Yanigans.

GREAT NORTHERN PLAN
A NEW BRANCH
L. w. Hill Says His Road Will
Beat the 500 Into Glen
tana. Mont. -,

! Helena, Mont, Nov. 11.-When Louis
W. Hill, president of the Great North
ern, was in Montana last week, he
gave assurances Of the building of a
50-mile line from Scobey west to Glen
tana, in northern Valley county, and a
visit he made from Cascade to Adel
has given rise to rumors the Great
Northern intends building a branch
there.
"You will ride out of G%lentana on
the Great Northern before you will on
the 500, and that before the SHOWS Of
another year have fallen,' he told
Glentana people.
Fifty-MiIe Team Haul.
Thousands of bushels Of grain are
to be hauled to the railroad from Glen
tana. Scobey, the terminus of the
Great Northern's Bainville branch, is
the nearest marketing point, a dis
lance Of 81 miles. Many farmers who
haul grain to Scobey take back freight
for Glentana and in this way the ex-
pense of the long trip is partly borne
ny local concerns.
Develops Notwithstanding.
Even with this handicap, the north
ern part of Valley county is making
rapid advancement and thousands of
acres are being broken for crop next
spring. The statement of Louis w.
Hill will have the effect of greatly in
creasing that acreage.
There is no doubt that the fight be-
tween the Great Northern and the 500
will be a merry one, as it was on the
Scobey and Whitehall branches of
these two roads. The 500 has it's road
into Whitehall, 10 miles east of Glen
tana, and had planned on extending to
Glentana in 1914, but the var and
other unforeseen things prevented.
Abel Trip Causes Speculation.
Mr.. Hill and his party made a trip
into the AdelH country that has caused
no little speculation. According to
persons who are in a position to know
a survey has been made from the
town Of Cascade to the coal fields
about Abel and the surveyors were in
the employ of the Great Northern. 1t
is reported that a line has been found
which will give a favorable grade to
the coal fields and those who know
Of the trip are now wondering if this
is another bit of Hill strategy in rail-
road building and if. without having
made known his plans, he is getting
ready to construct a line into the Abel
country in the spring of 1916.

Children When the fire was first
noticed it was in stacks near the barn
and the lady at the house noticed
Halfseth go into the barn. When the
neighbors came it was impossible to
get into the building and It soon caved
in. After the fire Halfseth's body was
found between the body of the stall
lion and the wall. He had evidently
endeavored to get the animal out and
probably was crushed by the fright
ened animal and unable to get out,
and arms being burned off. He was
terribly burned about the limbs.
The deceased raj a single man and
came 70 this country from Norway
about three years ago. All his rela,
tives are in the old country. An adj

pointed to settle up his affairs.

GOOD ROADS ARE AN ASSET
North Dakota Highways Compare Fa.
vorably With Those Of Other
Young States.

Good roads are among the principal
veins and arteries of commerce and
communication. Since its early state.
hood, North Dakota has given much
attention to this important subject.
but the real impetus came with the
advent Of the automobile. For so
young a state North Dakota need not
be ashamed of her highways, and each
year shows an improvement and ex'
tension in the important work.
Most Of the country roads are
graded and drained so that they
are in good condition 0 after even
q heavy rain. Close attention to the
Improvement of highway conditions
are given by all county governments.
There are at present over $4,000. au-
tomobiles owned and licensed in the
state. The money derived from state
licenses goes into q fund which Is d.
vided pro rata among the counties,
and the new law provides that this
money shall be expended on the roads
under the supervision Of the county

commissioners.
Three important national automo'
bile highways pass through the state,
and there are atso several other auto
trails Of lesser importance. The
Meridian road, extending from Penn
bina,. in the extreme northeastern part
of the state, to Galveston, Tex, passes
along the eastern edge of the state.
The Wonderland trail, extending from
the heads of the great lakes to the
Pacific coast, passes through the
northern part of the state, and the
National Parks highway, known al
the Red trail, extending from New
York to the Pacific. coast, passes
through the southern part of the state.
That North Dakota roads have been
chosen as a part Of these importan:
highways is. an evidence of their good
quality.
