in the trial Of this battleship Of honored ana

OF our line Of battle craft. There were many
reasons for this. chief Of which was the de-

Indiana and Iowa classes, both Of which proved
their worth in the recent war
on her speed trial to-day she carried FOUR

than twice her length. With this remarkably
close radius Of action the inclination Of the craft

on the run back the wind freshened and the
speed fell quite notceably as the figures after

explained by c. B. Orcutt. the president Of the
Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Com

More About the Proposed New Railroad
Through This County.
An important railway project is to
be entered upon within few months
in northern Minnesota, and the initial
construction for the work may be un-
dertaken this coming winter. It is
for what will be practically an
air line from Minneapolis and ST..
Paul to the Canadian boundary at the
foot of Rainy Lake, about $50 miles
northwest of Duluth. The line will
also connect Duluth and the Canadian
boundary in almost an air line.
1t is about 250 miles from Minneapo-
lis to Koochiching, at the foot of Rainy
Lake, where there is water power of
some $4,000 horse power. North from
Minneapolis to Milaca the new road
will follow the Great Northern's pres
ent track, and q section eighty-fve
miles long will be built from there
around the east side of Lake Mile
Laos to a junction with the Duluth,
MississippiE and Northern, at the
mouth of Swan river. The D. M. r.
& N. is sublime of the Great North
ern system From its northern ter
minus at Hibbing, seventy-five miles
of line will be built down the, Little
Fork valley to a connection with the
new transcontinental Canadian. line at
Rainy lake. The entire line may be
under Great Northern ownership.
