PROPOSE ELECTRIC RAIL
LINE TO RESERVATION
Meeting of Prominent Farmers Held
In Minot Tuesday to Discuss Feas-
Utility of New Line-COmmittee
Was Appointed

A large delegation of farmers and
business men from the Berthold res
ervation points visited Minot Tuesday
and met with number of Minot bust
ness men at the rooms of the Asso-
citation of Commerce to talk over the
feasibility of building an electric line
between Minot and Elbowoods. dis
lance of about ~ miles by the pro-
posed route.
The meeting was called to order by
G. H. Zehringer vice president of the
Union National bank.
The first speaker wae D. H. Warn
er, prosperous Roseg1en farmer, who
outlined the proposition as favored
by the farmers. Minot would select
the route south to the oo-Drake-San-
ish line, probably, taking in Max, then
running west to Douglas then south
five or six miles to point due east of
Roseglen, then straight west 20 or
25 miles to Roseglen, through Raub
then south to Elbowoods. There are
millions of tons of coal at Elbowoods
half mile from where the proposed
plant would be located The coal is
from a seven to nine foot vein. Mr.
Warner explained that the farmers on
the reservation, are willing to sub
scribe $500 quarter for eight miles
along either side of the proposed route
for the road. 1t is estimated that the

Much legislation favorable to the
agriculturists, has been enacted in
the Province Of Saskatchewan. That
province has population of about
100000, made up largely of farmers,
who appear to be very prosperous.
They have established the reputation
of farming carefully, doing a great
deal Of summer tilling. The fields
are practically free from weeds and
crop failure is seldom known. Some
excellent practical instruction is Civ

at Regina, free course in telephone
construction is given to farmers. The
course requires about two weeks of
practical work. The young men act

repair instruments. etc, so when they
have finished the course they can go
out onto the farms and construct
rural lines in an expert manner

With the passage of certain bills
which will permit the state to engage
in various enterprises, North Dakota
farmers are looking ahead to the time
in the very near future, when scores
of immense potato warehouses wall
be built throughout the state. Potato
growing associations will be formed,
Just as they have at Berthold, and
some other points and farmers will
grow certain kinds of potatoes for
which there is ready market. North
Dakota is one Of the best potato grow
ing states in the Union. The pro-
duet frequently yields 200 bushels per
acre, but the great trouble has been
that the farmers have not been able
to properly market their crop. The
average farmer canont erect his own
warehouse and if he did, he would
not be able to market his product to
the best advantage. Potato plant
ing. cultivating and digging machln-
cry does not cost a great deal and II
is possible for grower to care Tor
100 acres of the crop with some help
if he is properly equipped. With
warehouse, where thousands OF
bushels of potatoes are safely stored,
the manager receives information
daily concerning the movement OF the
product. Presenting for example
that st. Paul or Chicago have re-
ceived an excess of the product and
that st. Louis has not been fully sup
piled, the manager arranges to con-
sign so many carloads to St. Louis,
being assured of the highest market
price. The farmer has no worry and
in due time he receives his check. He
has to pay a small warehouse storage
fee, a handling fee and he receives
check for the balance. Potato grow
mo under such conditions can hardly
fail to produce a profit North Da-
kota farmers on their cheap land can
compete very successfully with the
growers in states where land is sell
ING for 5000 an acre and where the
yield or the quality are not so good.

Quite number of farmers from
the Berthold reservation gathered in
Minot Tuesday for the purpose of
considering plans for building an cleo
trio line between Minot and the Re
servation towns, accommodating hum
dreds of farmers enroute and CIV
ing transportation facilities to. one of
the most fertile districts of the state
that now lies score or more Of miles
from any marketing point Such a
line will undoubtedly be built in this
section of North Dakota within the
next few years These men may be
dreamers but no large project was
ever realized until after some dream
er had vision and then followed up
his dreams with something Of more
concrete nature James J. Hill, the
empire builder, was dreamer who
successfully promoted one of the
greatest enterprises the world has
ever known. Our reservation friends
are not particularly visionary, for it
appears that their ideas are practical.
They know what they need and what
they want and they are willing to
back up their judgment with good
hard cash. There is plenty of coal
to furnish the electrical power and
each farmer in the reservation dis
trict is paying out enough money ev-
cry year to market his grain to make
a good sized payment on the original
cost of the proposed line. The North
Dakota farmers have won a reputa-
ton for doing things and it would
not be at all surprising if this line
would in a few years become a real
ity. Naturally it would be a great
thing for Minot, but it would mean
as much or more to the farmers.
Minot will back them up in their

that the cost of the line will make it
a practical venture. The Great
Northern will undoubtedly complete
its new line from New Rockford to
Lewistown, Mont, tapping this rich
territory, and when it does, Minot
will be cut of from a vast amount
of business from the southwest, which
by rights belongs to us. 1t is there
