town.
The presence of Northern Pacific
surveyors in the vicinity of Edgeley.
and at other places in that neighbOr-
hood has been the cause o fmuch spec
ulation regarding the intention Of the
road as regards building. It is now
pretty definitely settled that the road
will build several connecting links
that will give 1t a new line from st.
Paul to Bismarck avoiding the heavy
grades at Valley City and jamestown
and giving it a shorter route to the
coast. The through freight and pas
senger trains will probably run via
the new line, which will strike the
present grade either at Mckenzie, or
somewhere along the line Of the e
tension being built south from there.
The Minor Teller has also heard of
proposed new lines and says:
The new route 10 said to start from
Minor. where the company will build
a new line to Cakes Junction. connect
ing with the Fargo Southwestern at
that point. Then from Edgeley, a new
road will be built diagonally across
the counties Of Logan and Kidder con.
Meeting with the main line at Steele.
This route win save the company the
expense OF building a second bridge
across the Missouri and will also
shorten the line nearly fifty miles and
also shorten the time to the coast
about two hours. as the time spent in
making the heavy grade runs from Val
ley City to jamestown and on to
Steele. will make at least an hours
difference, besides doing away with
a great deal of extra expense in main.

two points.
1t Is stated that as soon as the sur.
veyors complete the new route, the
contract for the grading will be let
and the road pushed to competition
as fast as possible.

Animals That Delight to play.

In animals the faculty of amusement
awakes very early. Our four footed
friends seem to be aware of this and
make it IA part of their parental duties
to amuse their young. a ferret will
play with her kittens, a cat with hers,
play with her foal. though the writer
has neve seer a cow try to nus her
calf nor any birds their young. If their
mothers do not amuse them, the young
ones invent games Of their Own.-LOn.

A MARVELLOUS STRUCTURE
The Grandeur of the Great Natural
Bridge In Virginia.


Bridge In Virginia.
Virginia is a state which abOunds
with springs which have medicinal
properties. 1t is also "A state in which
nearly every foot of ground has histor
ic associations, and this fact. together
with its glorious landscapes, makes ii
an unusually interesting state to visit.
There are thousands of resorts, each Of
which has its W special attractions.
but non has attracted more visitors
than the resorts in the vicinity of the
Great Natural Bridge, which is one OF
the natural wonders of the United
States.
This marvellous structure overlooks
the James river valley. being on the
western slope of the Blue mountains.
1t is just about the center of the state.
1t approaches Niagara in grandeur and
exceeds it in height and awful mystery
1t is a single block of limestone, with
many shades of color. The walls are
smooth. as if cut with chisels. and there
is no sign of displacement.
The visitor follows IL tumbling cas-
cade down Il deep assure in the moun-
tain under some of the largest arbor
vitn trees in the world and. turning
down Il line of steps cut into the prcci-
picc, suddenly finds himself by a swift
stream in II dark canyon and the great
bridge far above him. Birds high in
air pass under the blu. arch. The place
is full of echoes, and the winds and
waters moan eternally.
Washington when a surveyor for
Lord Fairfax visited the natural bridge
and carved his name. where it may
still be seen. The original bridge tract
was granted by King George III. to
Thomas Jefferson in l774. After he
was president jefferson visited the
place. surveyed it and made the map
with his own hands. jefferson spoke
OF the place as "a famous place that
will draw the attention of the world
Chief Justice Marshall wrote OF the
bridge as Gods greatest miracle in
stone" Henry Clay wrote of 'the
bridge not made with hands that span

two mountains one" Detroit Free

KEEP THE ROADS OPEN.

The following circular has been sent
out by the division of Rural Free De-
livery and is self explanatory.
The Department looks to the patrons
Of Rural Free Delivery service. who
are receiving the benefits of the ser.
vice, to use their utmost personal en-
deayors. and also to exert thier infiu-
ence with the Road Supervisors. or
with those officials who are responsible
for the condition Of the highways; to
the end that the roads Travelled by ru-
al carriers may be always kept ouen
aud IN such passable shane that the
service car be regularly and punctual-
ly performed.
Should the regularity of the service
be needlvsslv destroyed as the result
of inattention and lack of care bestow-
ed on the highways, the permanent
Withdrawal OF the delivery will very
likely result.
Rural letter carriers are required to
serve their routes regularly au all sea-
sons of the year and IN every kind Of
weather when it can be done witohut
seriously imperiling their lives or en-
dangering their co~nveyances or the
y. ). mail which is in their custody.
Patrons should clear away the snow
drifts. so that carriers can drive up to
and reach boxes from their vehicles
without dismounting.
1t is not part of the carriers duty
to break out the roads after severe
snow storms.
Rural carriers are expected to ener-
geticaly try to sevre their routes, even
though the conditions may be extremely
adverse, and any undue lack of zeal on
their part should be promptly brought
to the attention of this office for such
action as the merits of the case re-
