jamestown, N. D., Nov. 12.-James

claim for the high school football
championship here Saturday after
noon by defeating the fast New Rock
ford eleven to on Allen field
Jamestown's lone touchdown came in
the fourth quarter when Peake re-
covered punt, Kaiser ran 20 yards
on tackle back play and Rathman
went over the line on a fake play

Both elevens played hard and fast
football, neither seeming to have the
advantage. In the last half both ag
gregations resorted to open football

with success.
Peake was easily the star perform
er for Jamestown, Captain Bourquin

offense, making many long gains on

the people Of Elgin have agreed to
furnish the required right-of-way, and
the Milwaukee line has consented to
pay it's half of the cost of construc.
ton. The plan under consideration
has been put up to the Northern Pa.
cific, and it is hoped that early action
on the part of this company will re.
suit in physical connections between
the two lines being accomplished this
fall
Because there are now no facilities
for switching from the Northern Pa
cific to the Milwaukee line and vice
versa, much of the Milwaukee line ter
ritory for which Bismarck is logical

erdeen and still others from
Miles City. For any practical com
merclal purpose, this territory might
almost as we'll lie in South Dakota or
Montana. These sections are loyal
to- North Dakota and to Bismarck
and prefer to do their jobbing with
the capital city, which is their logical
jobbing center, but the necessity for
an expensive transfer from Northern
Pacific to Milwaukee line cars has
made it necessary for much of the
Milwaukee line business in Sioux,
Grant, and Hettinger counties to go
to Aberdeen.
OF especially vital Importance at
this moment is an opportunity to

reservation points on the Milwaukee
line to Northern Pacific territory west

Somewhere, in far off farm or village
