PRIVATE CAR TO NORTH DAKOTA.

Vern J. Crisler of Jamestown, North Dakota, who has been in Rensselaer for sometime organizing a crowd of land buyers, h& just returned from Chicago Where he made arrangements for a private car to be run to Jamestown. North Dakota, carrying land buyers to thht point. The car is a tourist sleeper, purely sanitary, and Mr. Cristler’s customers will be given accommodations of the berths free of charge. The car is equipped with tables which may be used by anyone desiring to lunch in the car. A porter will be in attendance and everything possible will be provided to insure the comfort of the traveler, making the trip a fine outing. The car will be set off at Jamestown a few days, affording an opportunity to examine the land in that vicinity. During this time the berths may be used, thus saving the expense of hotel.

A number of sections of the car have already been engaged by farmers who are to take their wives, as they can in this way make the trip comfortably and at the minimum of expense. Not only are the people to be given the sleeping car priveleges free of charge but the ticket rate by -this arrangement will be reduced about $9 less than any excursion rate offered by the railroads.

The car will leave the evening of September 6th and anyone desiring to make the trip will see Mr. Crisler at tftie office of John A- Dunlap in the I. O. O. F. building and make reservation. It will be well to make these arrangements as early as possible as those first applying are given, the choice of berths.
