TO The COAST
Minneapolis, Superior, St.
Paul & Winnipeg to Give
Through Connection.

With the signing by President Roose-
apolis, Superior, St. Paul & Winnipeg
railroad company to construct a bridge
across the Mississippi river between
Anoka and Champlin, practically the only
obstacle in the way Of the construction
of new line from Minneapolis to the Ca
madam border and Lake Superior has been
overcome. There was fear among some
of the friends of the new road that James
J. Hill might become active in opposition
to this measure and thus prevent it's pas
sage at this session of congress-, but the
opposition did not materialize.
The new road will run from the twin
cities to Winnipeg by way of Anoka, cross
ing the Eastern Minnesota at Mora, and
along the eastern shore of Mile Lacs
lake to Aitken, where 1t will cross the
Northern Pacific line. The road will then
run to Grand Rapids, crossing the Foss-
then to Beaudette, on Rainy Lake river,
about 800 miles, where it will connect
with the Canadian Northern line for Win
nipeg, 156 miles. The road will also run
from point near Anoka via Rush City,
to Superior, Wis.
Most of the right of way to Superior
has been secured, as has the 100 miles
on the Beaudette line. At Superior all
the necessary dockage rights have been
secured, and terminal rights have been
arranged for at Minneapolis. Superior,
Anoka and Aitkin. Duluth will be
reached over line already built.
The M, s., St. P. G. W. will afford the
Canadian Northern an entrance into the
twin cities over as short line as any
now built to Winnipeg. The Canadian
Northern now has some 1000 miles from
Port Arthur west and is to build 500 miles
this season. It is under contract to build
to the Pacific coast in four years, and
when completed, with the M, S., St. P.
G. w., will give the twin cities a new and
Independent outlet to the coast The new
line will be the shortest to Anoka, s
miles; Mora, 80 miles; Aitken, 80 miles;
Grand Rapids, 95 miles.
The promot ers of the new line believe
that Mile Laos Lake, the finest deep
water lake in Minnesota, will be made a
summer resort.
Grading will commence shortly on sew
eral parts of the line and it is designed
to build about 125 miles this year as we'll
as the bridge at Anoka.

4 TRAIL OF BLOOD
Tracy, the Escaped Oregon Convict,
Kills Two More. :
TWO OTHERS SAID TO BE DYING
Desperate Fighting in Suburbs of
Seattle-A Reward of $1,000
offered.

Seattle, Wash, July 4.-Convict Harry
Tracy has just passed red-letter day in
his erratic career. He killed Policeman
E. E. Breeze and fatally wounded Neil
Rawley in the city limits after having
murdered Deputy Sheriff Charles Ray
mond Of Snohomish county and probably
fatally wounded Deputy Sheriff John
Williams, of King county, early yester-
day.
In his flight for safety with no consid-
Grafton for human life, Tracy has covered
probably sixty miles. He was first en-
countered by Seattle posse near Bothell
at $3.50 o'clock in the afternoon. The
convict caught sight of his pursuers be-
fore they saw him. He had taken COM
manding position in clump of huge frs
and opened fire before he was discovered
He fired five shots in all. Raymond was
instantly killed by one of the ,Winchest er
rifle balls. Another struck the raised
rifle held by Williams, splitting it in four
parts and entered the deputy's breast.
He will live, 1t is believed.
Ill.,. Reward Of $1,000.
% Governor Mcbride, who is in the city
with Adjutant General Drain of the state
militia, is taking the keenest interest in
the case. He has offered a reward of
$2,500. This, with other rewards offered
by the relatives Of the victims of Tracy s
rifle. brings the purse offered to a total
of $500. -.
The governor, further than Offering the
reward, has ordered Acknowledgement
Drain to send two troops of the state
militia to aid the posses, the members of
which are securing all the northern sur
burban territory Of Seattle. Sheriff Cud-
fhee returned to the city at 2:30 o'clock
this morning, leaving on watch many
deputies who will be relieved by the st ate
militiamen.
IL Fought His Way Through.
Shortly after 8 o'clock in the evening
Tracy was located in the home of Mrs,
R. H. Van Horn at the southwest corner
of Woodland park. The news was con-
broke the intelligence just as Sheriff
Cudihee drove into the suburb from
Bothell. The house was quickly. sur
rounded, but Tracy again exemplifed his
unprecedented luck and iron nerve by de-
liberately fighting his way through the
guards, killing Policeman E. E. Breeze
and mortally wounding Guard Neil Raw
ley, and disappeared into the brush to-
wards Ravenna park.
Sheriff Cudihee twice had a bead upon
the desperate, but, was unable to fire for
the reason that the fugitive had taken the
pfecautlon to walk between two impressed
men whose lives would have been imper-
1lled had the sheriff opened fire.
As soon as the last skirmish was over
and the body of the dead policeman, to-
gether with Rawley, who was found to
be wounded in. the right. side, could be re-
moved from the road and later placed in
an ambulance, Sheriff Cudihee summoned
all the assistance available and bega n
straget1c movements in order to surround
the fleeing murderer. Tracy went in an
east erly direction toward Ravenna and
once well within the shadow of the iun der
brush and lumber which skirts Woodland
park no human eye could penetrate it's
gloom -.@t - -

:. ALMOST A RIOT
Premature Celebration Last Even
.st9.f fI1a Almost Led 10 TrouhIe


ing Almost Led to Trouble.
From the standpoint of the amount of noise
made, last night was one of the most glorious
in the history of the city. Cannon crackers,
torpedoes,s pistol canes and revolvers we're
everywhere in evidence, and towards mid
night the noise resemtled the roar of
mighty battle. Clouds of smoke arose.
Along Third street S between Nicollet and
First avenue. the scene at one time became
quite exciting, and it looked as though there
would be a riot. Men and boys, to the num-
Der of several hundred, gathered along the
srteet car tracks and placed torpedoes on the
rails. So many were placed on the rails that
the cars were almost thrown from the tracks:
The street car officials appealed to the police,
and when officers appeared the crowd hooted
and, owing to the large numbers it was
deemed unwise to attempt to scatter them.
The crowd dispersed soon after.
But ten arrests were made in the twenty
four hours ending at 6 a. M. and only few
Of them could be attributed to the celebration.

When the wind is reasonably relia-

but they are certainly money savers
when in operation They are quickly
put to work, they require no skilled en-
gineer and are safe and effective. In
putting in such power the farmer
should study we'll his needs, present
and prospective, and order an engine
sufficiently large for all purposes. One

PUMPING WATER ON STOCK
RANCHES,
RANCHES.

This is the year of all years when a
stockman who had an individual wind
mill plant for pumping water appre-
ciated the value OF such continuance.
Wind-power is doubtless the cheapest
scheme for pumping water on the farm'
Few sections can be found in the
west where wind sufficient for pumping
is lacking. Modern wind-wheels do not
require gales for their operation and
with ordinary care troughs and tanks
can generally be kept filled. At times
the wheels may become becalmed and
the stock go thirsty. If danger OF this
kind is anticipated, the farmer should
be all the more careful to put in an
ample storage capacity. 1t is folly to
economize in the size of the tanks and
troughs when there is chance of the
wind failing for any length of time.
AS a matter of fact, in most sec
tons there is apt at seasons to come
a calm that may last week at time
or more and such times on largely
stocked farms tax the capacity OF the
tanks. An adequate supply OF water
in most sections can be secured by
the use OF windmills and storage
tanks of good capacity. A little intelli-
gent attention tC the wheel to take ad-
vantage of the breeze, will enable one
thus equipped to provide water liberal
ly for all purposes On number OF
large ranches dependence has not been
placed in the wind, but deep driven
wells have been equipped with pump
and engine. This may be necessary

STATE IRRIGATION ASSOCIATION.


Editor The Ranch: At meeting
held at North Yakima October 2, the
Irrigation Association of the State of
Washington was organized. Officers
were elected as follows: S. ]. Har-
rison, president, Sunnyside; Ralph
Kaufman, first vice pres, Ellensburg;
Fred c.. Hail. treasurer, North Yaki-
ma; Arthur Gum, second vice presi-
dent, Wenatchee; Marshall S. Scud-
der, secretary, North Yakima. The
object of this association is to en-
courage the reclamation of the arid
lands of this state and the building
of reservoirs to conserve the water
supply of the United States govern
ment. The recent enactment of an
irrigation law by congress has made
it possible to secure the aid of the
government in this work. Every dol
lar of government money invested
here will inure to the benefit direct
ly or indirectly, of every citizen of
the state. In order that the work
may be promptly undertaken and sue
cessfully completed, it is necessary
that a general desire of the public
for it's undertaking shall be so plain
ly expressed that the congressman
and senators who represent us at
Washington will use every effort to
have the secretary of the interior,
who under this law decides what work
shall be done, promptly undertake such
work as seems most likely to prove OF
greatest benefit to the state. Earnest
cooperation of every citizen who has
the best interests of the state at heart
is necessary to achieve this.
One dollar sent to the secretary at
North Yakima makes you an active
member OF this association. A copy
of the constitution enclosed will ex-
plain it's purpose. If every member
will by his influence induce one friends
to also become a member we shall
soon accomplish what we desire.
Please rotice that under the cOnstltu-
ton no officer can receive compensa-
ton. MARSHALL S. SCUDDER,
Secretary.
