All of Them Will Be 200-Ton Motors —Streams Will Be Harnessed to furnish Power for Plants—West End Between Batte and Seattle Nearly Fnished. Chicago, Nov. 18.—'Never before in the history of railroads was a great building proje^ carrted out so quietly as the Pacilio coast extension of the St. aa' ro-u'. this »?i-eat undertaking. whi t) mc.ius sn niach to the Poci'lc ii!!iIwost. more than $100,000,000 is being expended with as little fuss as an ordinary business enterprise would make in expending a few thouand dolars. The St. Paul road Is not coming into a country that needs the sitd of the promoter or the land agent. In t! Liber aionc there is almost a competency for the new line, for the St. Paul manage ment has been given assurance that not fewer than B0,0'00. carloads will be given it the first year after the work has been completed. One of the wonderful facts re gardlng the construction of this new trans-continental line, which will stretch from Chicago and the Twin Cities by way of Butte, Montana, to Seattle, and Tacoma, Washington, is the thoroughness with which it being constructed. It is not gener ally known, for example, that over the 800 miles of mountain stretchos electricity is to he used as the mo tive power, and the engines will be 200-ton electric motors. Down the sides of the Bitter Root mountains are pouring a sufficient number of streams to furnish abundant power for all the electric motors which th.i St. Paul will need to handle its trains over the mountain divison. These streams are to be harnessed at the cost of millions. The boldneB3 of conception and the unobtnuslve way in which the work is being ...executed challenge admiration. ^Through the fastnesses of the Bitter Root range a tunnel 8,750 feet long being constructed by electrical power and through will be operat ed by trains hauled by motors. One end of this tunnel will open in the state of Montana and the other will land the traveler in Idaho, and its grade will not exceed .02 Black River Junction to Summer, .:3^Vash. East of Seattle the road is ''completed for a distance of seventy five miles, and work over the Sno qualmie Pass, of the Cascades is be ing rapidly pushed. On one division there are at least sixty fills to be made of an average depth of sev enty feet, and the road between Black river and the tunnel will cost probably |75,000 a mile. Through the St. Paul Pass, in the Bitter (Root mountains, work is fur there along the grading is com pleted and the bridges are built. In Seattle the terminal work is scarce ly began. In view of the fact, how ever, that the greater part of the extension has been done during a time of financial depression, the work infgeneral is a marvel In the annals of railway construction. %ENDS WIFE TO LIVE ION CLAIM DESERTED r|§"'i^S^of.Me^'iaost pr«hounC6dyc&ses it i^wlfe disserting a husband has t/cmqlfa theobservation of the county #hd city authorities.

He could not get away from his business so he sent his wife wltih a carload of furniture to live on the claim. The woman caime as .far as Aber deen, but while here she met the con ductor with whom rfhe was infatu ated. She did not go to Lemmon, nor did the furniture, but both found a home on tha north side wit'h the rail road man. A short time ago the man, not having heard from his wife, went to Lemimon to look (her up. He found that co one had been on the claim and that no one in the vicinity had ever seen or heard anything of ihis wife. He instituted a search, and fin ally located her In this city. As soon as the husband found how tihngs were he decided the best thing re could do would be to let his wife go her way. So 'he went to the office of the sheriff of Brown county to summon her to give her an oppor tunity to assign some deeds to him, which formerly toad been signed by trem jointly as husband and wife. The sheriff sent ris deput after the woman and that officer lost no time in .hailing 'her into the sheriff's of fice. 'When she entered she swept past her husband as though she had never seen 'him before in her life. The sheriff asked her if she was acquaint ed with tre gentleman sitting in the room (her husband). With an icy voice, tinged wth scorn she said in a lofty manner: Oh, I believe I have seen him once or twice. That was all she said. She readily acquiesced in signing the instrument3 and then went her way as her hus band had no desire to bring action against her. T(hat evening the husband left for Minneapolis to take steps toward se curing a divorce.

To undertand wha is hai-peiing while a fire is being kindled onemu.it know about "flash point" and "burn ing point." Lf a shaving or bii of paper is held above a .amp it will first turn brown and then suddenly a gas, which has been roasted out of it, will flash. This flash adds puouga 1' eat to make the having or paper burn to ashes. In many states the law requires coal oil to be tested to determine its "flash point." If it flashes before it is heated to 120 de grees Fahrenheit, it must not be used for making a light. heated to i&O degrees it will take fire without con tact with a flame. It takes less flame to light sii-all or thin piece of wood because Here is more surfaoe in proportion to its mass. So, "kindling wood" is used. Beginning with a Match We begin by heating the 11l:U piece of wood in a match so that it will flame. Th^ match head h£s powdered flint or glass in it which gets hot enough when rubbed to light the phosphorus in it, whi'-h Ore at 11 1 degrees The phos phorus lights the chlorate of potash in the match head, making heat great enough to fire a shaving or aj piece of paper, either of these will. in burning, heat kindling in contact with it to the burning point, and the flame of the kindling will fire the ccal. Anthracite or hard coal takes fips at '572 degrees Fahrenheit. Bi tuminous or soft coal, which is pro duced in ".10, takes !!re with less heat the degree depen ng on the amount of natural gas in it. A pound of coal gives off as much heat as three pounds of dry wood. The water in green wood weighs as mu^h as wood itself. So to start it burn ing,, extra heat must be furmhed to drive out watv-r 1 changing it to steam. Glowing coals readily light shav ings or paper if they are blown upon. Blowing forces more air past the coal and the rr. ai- it gets the more oxygen haa sustain the combustion necessary to make it hot ter.

WILSON Undertaker 3 feL Burned to Death. of p«Dpie The average number burning to death in South Dakota in a year from using coal oil to quicKcn a fire is three. The number badly burned is three times as large. In many accounts of persons be ing burned to death from pouring coal oil into a stove it is said the can «xploded. This is never true. When the explosion occurs the can is sure to be dropped by the person pouring oil from it and the oil in the can being splashed about adds to the fire. The opinion that the oil in the can explodes depends upon the fact that it is hard to believe so terrific an explosion could have oc curred from the amount of oil pour ed into the stove, and' aside from this, those who search the ruins find the seams of the can openoi by the heat of the fire melting tfre solder in them. The use of gasoline to start a' fire is always attended a serious acci dent. 4* i»ANK A.
