OVER NEW CUTOFF.
End of Hill Climbing on the Great
Northern,

Seattle, Oct. l5.-tireat Northern
engineers in this city announce that
the Improvements on the main line of
the Great Northern in Montana,
whereby the Kalispel detour and heavy
grades are eliminated, have been prac
tically completed, and the companys
transcontinental trains are now oper
ated over the new Whitefish cutoff.
General Western Passenger Agent
Yerkes said yesterday:
THE completion of this work marks
the end of hill climbing on the Great
Northern line. Though the new line
is called cutoff trains really run
twenty -one miles farther than over the
old line, but the decrease in curves
and grades is so great that, even now,
the trains cover the new line in the
same time as over the shorter line
without effort, and it is certain that
ultimately an actual reduction in time
will follow. For years trains found it
difficult to cover the old route on SC he'd
ule, and much delay was caused 10y
that troublesome piece of roadbed.

The retreat which had begun with

fire. The left column of the japanese
light army descended from Shaotakou,
while the rest of this wing advanced
from its position at the foot of the

forces nearest them. Along the Schili

position after position, following their
fleeing center columns.
An hour after the Japanese army
had begun its narrow advance the

these reports Field Marshal yama be-
