THE ODDS IN POLICY.
with Percentage SO Great
Against the Player.

"Twenty million is a conservative es-
innate Of the yearly sum poured into
the Golfers Of a policy company by the
poor Of the United States in their ef-
forts to beat another mans game"
said man who knows the inside work
ings Of the scheme, reports the Detroit
Free Press.
''When you take into consideration
that most of the plays are a nickel in
both books, which means that the sum
is split in half, you can readily figure
out that the plays aggregate easily
00,000,000 in the course Of year.
Profit" echoed the speaker with a
laugh; why, it is about so per cent. or
in the neighborhood of $16,000,O00 for
one concern, which has its headquar-
ters in New York and operates in near
ly every town Of any size in the coun-
try"
There is a popular fallacy to the ef-
feet that policy was originated by the
negroes, and found its way north from
below the Mason and Dixon line short

problems which it contains viii forever
abrogate such an idea; it is absurd.
As a matter Of fact, some Slime dur
ing the reign Of Frederick the Great, a
Prussian, who was long on figures and
short ofscoin, set his wits to work and
evolved the apparently simple and yet
decidedly intricate gambling game Of
policy
1t is played to-day the same as when
the testy king took the revenue de-
rived from this source for "royal po-
lice protection and added new giant
recruits to the famous bodyguard. M
SO far as the writer knows, there is
no game Of alleged chance where the
percentage is so great against the play

policy game may be gleaneci from the
following figures, which several ex-
writers pronounce 60 per cent below
the "mark" They indicate the profit

But the Grades Over the Cabinet
Range Are Light.
TWO YEARS TO COMPLETE r. r.
AS There Is Much Heavy Bridge
Work and Lots of Rock Two En-
cheering Divisions, Mr.. Lupfer in
Charge of One, A. G. Lombard the
Other.

The official statement issued by
Great Northern confirms the news Of
railroad building from Columbia Falls
to the kootenai river, and is as fol
lows.
The line from Columbia Falls to
the kootenai river and main line of
the Great Northern will be built All
construction work will be in charge
of Alex NJ. Lupfer, who is at present
resident engineer at Great Falls.
There will be about 20 miles of
construction, which will be heavy
work all the way through. There will
ba two tunnels on the line, one a
short one, the other with length 81
about 500 feet There will also be
heavy bridging and an immense
amount of rock, earth and loose rock
cuts, big fills and clearing of timber
the entire length of the 20 miles.
The grades on the east side OF the
Cabinet mountains will be very light,
being 13 feet to the mile, in place Of
81 feet on the present line.
THE summit where the new line
will cross the cabinet mountains will
be 1000 feet lower than where the
present line crosses in the Haskell
pass tunnel, through the same range.
The new line will cross the summit
on fill-While the present line cuts
through by means of a long tunnel.
Work will be pushed by Seims &
Shields of ST. Paul, the head contrac-
tors, as fast as men and machinery
can do it. Seims & Shields had en-
tire charge of the Great Falls & Can
ada work, and also built the Wash
ington & Great Northern branch from
Marcus to Republic. Washington.
This work will probably require from
Is months to two years to complete
ready for the first trains.
When finished. the line from Col
umbia Falls to Jennings will be II
miles longer than the present main
line. but owing to the reduction in
grades and curvature, much faster
time can be made, despite the excess
mileage, than over the present line

In Third Round of the Prize FIGHT
at Great Falls.
On the mat in Great FaIls-AIin is a
Big Man of Muscle, Built a Good
Deal in O'Neil's Style, and II He
Was Scenced Would Be Hard
One.

Before one Of the largest audiences
which has yet gathered at the Grand
opera house to witness a sporting
event, Joe Wardnsky. the smeltcr-
man, was knocked out in the third
round of a 2oround boxing contest
by Jack Ain, the Swede bridge build
en- A blow III the stomach with the
tight, followed by a left swing on the
jaw, did the work.
Although WardInsky delivered a
number Of hard blows, bringing the
blood from the SWede's nose the lat
ter gave no evidence of punishment,
and at the conclusion Of the contest
was as fresh as when he first entered
the ring. Wardinsky, however. had
his right eye closed in the first
round, and his nose was broken. He
bled freely. In the second round
there was an exchange of blows,
more blood flowed, and at its conclu
sion both men looked as though they
had been working in slaughter
house.
In the third round both men came
to the center with determination.
Ain pushed the fight. as though anX-
ious to end it in the least number of
rounds, and he followed Wardinsky
about the ring. raining blows upon
his face and neck in rapid success
sion, Wardinsky cleyerly ducked a
left swing early in the round. which.
if it had landed, would have proved
his defeat. There was some fighting
in the clinches. Wardinsky went
down under a terrific left swing to
the jaw, but arose with an effort at
the count of six. Ain forced the
fight again, and Wardinsky dncked
number of we'll directed blows. A
right swing caught him in the stom-
ach, depriving him of his wind. and
a left hook to the jaw sent him to the
floor, from which he was unable to
rise and he was counted out.
Ain stood calmly by, waiting for
Wardinsky to rise as the count pro-
ceeded, and when the latter failed
