NEW TRACK COST S1.fs PER
INCH
E!khOrn's Deadwced-I.ead City
Line Comes High in More
WAYS Than One.

Yesterday marked the opening
OF the Elkhorn Company's new
Deadwood- Lead City line, prob
ably one of the most remarkable
engineering feats attempted in
this section of the country in many
years. The total length of the
new extension is only three miles
but that short strip enjoys the
distinction of having cost its own
ers more money than ths finest
piece of track anywhere In this
part of the United States, proper
tionately speaking.
The two strips of steel writhe
and twist themselves up through
the most mountainous portion OF
the Black Hills country, so rough
that in building the line the work
men were forced to carry on their
backs the greater portion of the
material used in the construction
of the line because of the inability
Of the horses and mules to gain a
foothold. Every inch of the new
line cost the Z Il and NJ v COM
pany about 81. Is and when it is
considered that the line doubles
on itself and executes various
other mnneuvers peculiar only !c
railroad building in the noun.
tains it can be readily seen that il
costs money to build railroads.

If the state school fund in its
present form is an investment then
the regular tax levies must also
be regarded as an investment and an
asset. The regular levy asks for
revenue without an, roundabout
equivocation while the school fund
takes its income indirectly, but al
so out of the pockets Of the tax
payers. The constitution sought
to protect the people against the
latter tax; the Democratic party,
however, assumed an authority
above the constitution and levied
it nevertheless, and now comes
forward and asks the people to
condone its otfense by adopting an
amendment to the constitution
which will make this unlawful tax
regular. A rebuke for the party
from the people is decidedly neces-
sary in this instance. The latter
should assert their right to have
such propositions put to them first,
and not after they have gone into
operation through dark and devi-
Gus ways to further an uIterior
motive of Il political party.
