CURIOUS WESTERN FREIGHT TRAIN

One of the most curious-looking freight trains to be found any place in the world makes a regular semiweekly trip between Williston and Bonetraill, N. D, a distance of 36 miles. It consists of a 40-horse power gasoline tractor and a string of a halfdozen grain wagons, and bears the name of the “Western Limited.” Twice each week during the summer months the slow-moving caravan strikes out

across the prairie loaded with supplies and various kinds of feright billed for Bonetraill, which is a trading point for a large number of fanners. Williston is the nearest railroad point, so during the harvest season, when freight is heavy, the schedule of the “Limited” is increased to five or six trips a week in order to transport wheat and flax to the railroad.—Popular Mechanics.
