With one exception the through
trains of the Burlington Route are
almost invariably well-filled. The
exception is our St. aul-Chicago
Limited. On the Limited there is
usually room and to spare.
Don't infer that it is neither so fine
nor so fast as ANY train of ANY other
line between St. Paul and Chicago.
On the contrary theae is no more

''In spite of charges to the contrary,

how the French had been continually

their claim on the French shore, while
at the same time their interest in the

Riley Grammar Astonishes the British
Turfmen.

New York. May IA dispatch to the
World from London, describing Thurs
days racing at Newmarket. says:
While Tod Sloan was doing his best
on the track his admirers were backing
him like men possessed in the ring.
First among these was Riley Grammar,
the Kentucky plunger. Grammar start
ed off by winning a neat sum on FlOrio
Rubbattino, in the first race. bet the
entire amount for the second and was
more than 500, 600 winner when the odds
for the Breeders plate, the third race,
were posted.
Grammar stuck to Sloan throughout
the day and must have lost fair sized
sum on Ted's losing mounts Some es-
innate his losses in the latter part of
the afternoon at about S75, 600 and
Charles Dryers at S25, 900. Grammar is
believed to have won more than $780,
000 on the first three races so he doubt
less won about S125,O0O for the day.
The manner in which Grammar bet
fabulous sums literally on the turning
of a hair and never betraying the least
excitement or nervousness is puZZIing
to the average British turf follower.

TWENTY MILES APART.
Stations Are to Be Established Along
the Copper River Route.

Washington, May 12.-Capt. Ray, who
will be placed in command of the mil
itary district of Alaska, has been busy
about the war department getting
everything in readiness for his depart
ure which will take place in July. He
will sail from San Francisco or Seattle
year. He expects to establish headquar-
ters on the Yukon at Mission Geek,
which is near the boundary line. Here
he will build a regular military station
for the accommodation of his troops
and supplies A military reservation
will be established there, the boundaries
of which will depend upon the judgment
of Capt. Ray.
A forest reservation also will be eStab-
lished so that there may be no question
about a plentiful supply of timber for
the military station. Capt. Ray will
take two sawmills with him to manu-
facture the lumber which will be neces-
sary for the new station. He will go by
boat by way of the mouth of the Yukon
river and will have all his supplies
taken in by that route. Capt. Ray eX-
presses no doubt as to the practicability
of the Copper river route, which As
sistant Secretary Meiklejohn has or
dered established and which will be eX
amined by Capt. Abercrombie. Capt.
Ray has a plan for the adjustment
of stations along this route twenty
miles apart placed in charge of natives.
BY this system. he believes it will be
possible to reach the Yukon country at
all seasons of the year.

he will go to San Francisco by the

STILL AFTER SPENCER.
Office of Oil Inspector Being Given a
Thorough Overhauling.

State Oil Inspector S. o. Spencer to-
day filed his itemized report of ex-
penses and collections during the month
of April with the state auditor. Yes
terday Mr. Spencer filed a consolidated
report but Mr.. Cole required him TO
withdraw the consolidated document
and file an itemiZed account.
This was done today but the report
will now be thoroughly investigated by
Governor Stanley and Mr.. Cole. They
will take the report and today or tomOr-
row will go over it in every detail
Since Mr.. Spencer has turned in $1,000
the ire against him is on the wane and
his shortcomings may be overlooked by
the chief executive.
The oil inspector has charged up rail-
road fare amounting to $55. % and in his
accounts, at each town visited, a charge
is made for hack fare.
1t has been reported to the governor
and to the auditor as we'll that Mr..
Spencer rides on passes and charges the
state mileage. This matter will be in
Cole. The charges for hack rides will
also be investigated. The auditor is not
in favor of paying this bill
Hereafter Mr.. Spencer and his depu-
ties will be required to take receipts
for all moneys expended The blank
form of receipts is furnished by the
auditor A law was passed last winter
recurring all state boards and other
officers to make such receipts but by
some means the oil inspector was omit
ted. However, the auditor and the
governor will require Mr.. Spencer to
take such receipts.
The law is explicit in the matter of
expenditures and specifies that if the
inspector or deputy makes false charges
or makes charges for expenditures
which are not made he shall be de-
clared guilty of perjury and punished
by imprisonment in the penitentiary-
Dave Mulvane charges that Cy Le-
land is responsible for the fight being
made on Spencer. Leland has had moth
ing to do with it. but Mulvane defends
Spencer because the oil inspector is an
avowed supporter of J. r. Burton for
United States senator. He even went
so far as to suggest to the governor
that he wanted to select Burton men
for deputy inspectors.

The Hondo coal mine, 100 miles south

dealing death and destruction in it's
path. The upper story of the general

one of the dead. The tornado also
struck the town of Sabinas, twelve

DULUTH CARS RUNNING.
Mob Outrages, However, Continue in
Spite of Large Police Force.

Duluth. May 12.-The situation in the
street railway strike remains un-
changed so far as the men and the
company are concerned. Cars are run
ming on all lines although the service
is still hampered, and the strikers are
continuing to better their system of
busseS.
Mayor Truelson is at his wits end as
to what to do to prevent the outrages
by rioters which are of almost nightly
occurrence. He has put on extra police
until the regular force has been about
doubled, but does not seem to be able
to cope with the mobs.
The grand jury has taken up the
matter of placing of dynamite on the
street railway tracks, and a large num-
ber of witnesses, including the mayor
and chief of police, were examined to-
day Judge Moer in instructing the
grand jury this morning gave it out
that the court would now take a hand
in the matter. and that every effort
would be made to stop the outrages.
