D., and Pushing Northward Rap- idly—Hill Railways Expected to Re- sent Invasion and Reprisals Are Looked For Thick and Fast. Chicago, April 22.—Additional evi- dence is ofrered to prove that the Hill and the St. Paul interests are engaged in one of the most deter- mined if not bitter fights for the pos: session of territory ever waged in the history of American railroads. Close upon the disgovery that the St. Paul is invading the Hill strong- hold in the Crows Nest Pass coun- try of British Columbia comes the in- formation that the St. Paul is sur veying a line straight north from Fargo, N. D., through the Red River valley and in the direction of Win- nipeg. It is known that in the last week or ten days four or five surveying par- tles have been outfitted at Chicago and sent west over the St. Paul road. It is admitted by the officials that the destination of all but one of these parties is Wakpala, twelve miles west of Mobridge on the Pacific coast ex- tension of the St. Paul road. Its business is to survey a line through the Cheyenne Indian reservation, a line which the management has al- ready determined to comstruct. The destination of the other surveying party has been shrouded in mystery, but it is reported on good authority that it is now in the vicinity of Fargo and is pushing northward. Throws Down Gauge of Battle. There is little reason to doubt that the St. Paul has thus thrown down the gauge of battle to James J. Hill in the Red River valley, which is the apple of his eye and which is known in railroad and financial circles as “Hill's bread basket.” It was the Red River valley, with its tremendous tonnage- possibilities, which first at- tracted Mr. Hill's eye and started him on a career of railroad building in the Northwest. The Red River valley produced fully 50,000,000 bushels of wheat annually and has thus far been the exclusive field of the Hill lines and of the Canadian Pacific. The St. Paul now has a branch line from Ortonville, Minn., to Fargo and it is understood that it is the purpose to extend this first to Grand Forks and later to Winnipeg, following closely the course of the Red river, thereby furnishing another and a water grade route to tidewater by the way of Chicago for the wheat of the Red River valley. That the Hill interests will tamely submit to this invasion is not re- garded as probable and the railroad world will look for reprisals to come thick and fast. The vigor with which the St. Paul interests are pushing branches and new lines into pro- ductive territory is shown by the ad- mission regarding the Cheyenne Res- ervation line. The company’s Pacific coast extension now runs through the Standing Rock reservation and the new line is to extend about 100 miles westward through Cheyenne reser- vation and through Butte county, Mont., to the Little Missouri river. The two reservations contain more than 5,000,000 acres of land and fully one-half of this is soon to be thrown open to settlemertt. Roads File Right of Way Deeds. Kalispell, Mont., April 22.—Four deeds for right of way in the vicinity of Coram, in the North Fork river ter- ritory, were filled by an agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee and Puget Sound Railroad Company. The instruments were the first evidence of any trans- fer for right of way purpose since the contest between the two roads Ue- gan. An hour later an agreement for sale of right of way to the Great Northern of land in the same district was filed in the recorder’s office. Once Gained International Fame. Chicago, April 22.—Samuel Eberly Gross, who gained international fame some years ago by accusing Edmond Rostand, the French playwright, of filching his ideas for “Cyrano de Ber- gerac” from a Gross play called “The Merchant Prince of Cornville’ and winning a suit based on this claim, has been sued for divorce. Mrs. Em- ily Gross charged that her husband deserted her Dec. 1, 1905. Mr. Gross was once one of the largest real es- tate dealers in Chicago, but two years ago became financially embarrassed and now is in a sanitarium. Ten Millions on Construction. ‘Winnipeg, Man., April 22.—General Manager Chamberlin of the Grand- Trunk Pacific railway has arrived Tere after a trip over the system from the Pacific coast.
