The N. P. railway will subscribe for
$5,O00,000 worth of Liberty bonds, ac-
cording to officials of the company.
The N. P. is the first railway COM
pany to announce it's intention of pur-
chasing bonds, and the subscription is
the largest made to this time.
At Glendive the wife of the yard
master and number of other women
are now employed by the N. P. in
roundhouse work. Same wages are
paid the women as has been given the
men for the same class of work.
With parks in other cities along the
line being plowed for gardens, Valley
City is more fortunate. Work was be-
gun this week on the park south of
the passenger station there, and it
will be laid out with fine trees and
shrubs, and will be made into one OF
the beauty spots of the city.
Semi-annual report of the Northern
Pacific Railway for the six months
ended December 81, 1916, shows that
revenues of the road for that period
from passenger business totaled
$7,737,926. Substantial increases are
noted in both freight and passenger
receipts,
Ruth Ritchey is the first Mandan
girl to accept a position with the N. P.
since the call for the gentle sex to get
ready for railway positions. She will
work in the freight office there.
Workmen have the new wash and
toilet rooms for lady employees of the
roundhouse near completion. A sub
stantial building has been erected at
the northwest corner of the round
house for their convenience, which will
be well fitted up. Lockers have been
installed also.
Roundhouse employees, not to be
outdone by the station force, raised a
big new flag near the entrance to the
office this week.

C. w. Marrs arrived here last week
from Miles City, Mont, to take up his
duties as day ticket agent at the N.
p. station. E. E. Calkins, who has
been ticket agent here for nearly a
year, has resigned to accept q posi-
tion with the Singer Sewing Machine
Company at Bismarck.
The new flag now floats over the N.
P. station. It was purchased by popu-
lar subscription among the employees,

|" Work Of installing the automatic
block system is progressing at rapid

unloading battery wells, and the gang
working east is unloading gravel and

Agent F. D. Cooper is in receipt of
circular letter from Supt. T. H.
Lantry, which calls attention to the
coal shortage which will probably re-
suit the coming winter on account of
lack Of railway equipment. Mr.. Lam
try emphasizes the urgency of stock
ing up with fuel during the summer
months, and predicts that there will
be great deal of suffering during
the winter months if the warning is
allowed to pass unheeded.
A new train schedule on the branch
lines out of Mandan has brought forth
strenuous protest from passenger
crews employed there. Under the
new ruling it is necessary for the
crews to leave Mandan on call, go to
Killdeer, return to Mandan, leave
again the same afternoon, go to Mott,
and then return to Mandan for the
layover. The run from Killdeer to
Mott is about $50 miles and it takes
about Ia hours to make the run.
There are now but three crews on the
branch lines, where there were four
before, two on the north and two on
The south branch.
