$I5O,O0O IN SIGHT FOR
new RAILROAD PROJECT
Extension of Concrete Road Will be
Made by Farmers In Cavalier
County This Summer

From the amount of interest mani
tested bv the large number at the
meeting held at Olga last Saturday
afternoon to take up the projec tof the
extension of the Concrete line of
railroad into Cavalier county, there
appears to be nothing to discount the
statement being made that within six.
ty days survey will have been com.
pleted of the proposed route and that
before the harvesting of next fall's
crop the extension of this line will
have been completed and in operation.
Saturday afternoons meeting indi.
Gates that there will be no trouble in
raising the money that will be needed
TO make the project go ahead. Farm
|, lands that are continuous to the route
taken by the line in its extension are
TO be given an assessment of dollar
per acre within five miles to either
side of the road and something like
$50, 900 will thus be made available
for making the grade, laying the steel
and placing the road in operation.
The consensus of opinion ut the
meeting favored the taking over of
the line at present running from
Edinburg to Concrete and now oper-
ated merely for the purpose of retain.
ing its charter. The extension from
Concrete into Cavalier county as pro-
posed will be twenty-fiv miles in
length, coming up the mountain about
a mile or a mile and half south of
Olga, at point where a grade can
be negotiated with the least possible
expense. The route that the roao
would then be expected to traverse
would take it through the townships
ot h,am, crossing the northeastern
corner OF Harvey and through West
Hope, with a probably terminal for
the present in Mt. Carmel. Discus.
sion as to where it would cross the

"reminiscences of
Mrs. 1s'1 a o!Srisn. p An Early Pioneer

Michael D. O'Brien, of Belleview,
Hastings county, Ontario, travelled
as far west as Utah in looking up a
location for new home. Out of all
this western country he chose the
banks of the Pembina river at st.
Joe, now Leroy, as his home.
We were married in the summer of
1879 at Belleville. and left imme-
diattely for North Dakota. On our
arrival we occupied a log building
formerly used as the Catholic church,
but which had been replaced by a
similar building of larger proportions.
The building we occupied was about
4Ox6O and we divided it into three
rooms. the front one of which was
used for general store purposes and
the other two rooms we used for
housekeeping. There was lean-to
on this building that was occupied by
a family of Bruces, who were half
breeds. This Mrs. Bruce was re-
markably skillful in administering to
the sick and equally generou. in offer
ing her services where they were
needed. Her only recompense was the
gratitude of those who had nothing else
to offer. Father Bonin, then resident
priest at St. Joe, occupied the upper
story for time. He had a supply
Of medicines and ready remedies that
he dispensed mo generously to the
sick. In the all + this same year
we bought pre- 1mption right of
eighty acres of timber land. MIR.
0 Brien and my brother, Jos. Halo
ran, began the construction of a log
building on this place, preparatory to
our moving onto the land This was
just roughly put together, when we
learned the land was to be contested.
This was in February and we were
having our coldest weather, but on
the asme night that we learned of
this, Mr. o. Brien set out for Penlbina
to protect our right When he would
reach Pembina it would be necessary
H. -I.ayys,.ai an AFFIDAVIT . TIE effect th~ :
the land was being occupied by his
family, so that it was necessary for
me to he living on the land by that
time. The following morning, with
the help of nv brother | took up quar-
ters in the new building. This house
was not yet completed and the door
was not finished so as to close entire
! ly. With the thermometer registering
between forty ana fifty below zero
the house was almost uninhabitable.
When night came my brother had
to return to the old church building,
where he was to remain to protect the
store goods from possible intruders.
He stayed there until Mr.. O'Brien
returned some few days later, while
l occupied the building on the timber
land alone. In this way we protected
our right to the land. We improved
this building and remained in it until
the spring of 1883
There were only three or four white
families here at that time and 80 We
were often called on to put up traye.
lers or prospective settlers. when OF
their way from Pembina, where they
would come with their stock anc
effects, to the mountain. We were
always glad to see these new comers
Many of these people did not remain
to withstand the hardships of these
days, but others of them remained to
constitute the old timers of today. |

Divines Are Requested
 To Return EmptieS

A rather amusing incident oc cured this morning when three or the Presbyterian ministers who are here for the purpose of organizing the First Presbyterian church or Skagwav called at this office and calmly set down a sack containing two empty demi-johns. Attached lo thA package was a slip of paper which bore the following legend: Juneau Liquor Co.,, Juneau, Alas ka, e. L. B. "
 From developments brought to Ugh. later, it would appear that "C L. B." mistook the Presbyter- ian launch Lois, for the Ship of Good Cheer, Santa Rita, and calmly deposited the empty containers in the canin of that ship with the re- quest tat they be returned to Juneau. The watch on obard the Lois informel "C. L. B." that he was making some mistake, but he hardened not to the warning, and a result, he is requested to call at this officte and claim his property.
