The magnificent new Winnesheik
County Court House has been thrown
open to the public. and while not yet
complete in all its departments, is oc-
cupied by the county officers and the
county's business is being transacted
there.
The new structure, which has for
several years been contemplated. an.
ticipated and discussed at almost every
fireside throughout the length and
breadth Of the county, is at last q
reality. magnificent and cspacious i n
all its compartments, and splendid in
all it's appointments. monument to

siveness of the people of Winnesheik

the Board of Supervisors, through
whose wise direction and able super
vision it has been constructed. That
they have oonscientiously and careful
ly considered every detail. and that
they have shown marked ability in
sheir decisions concerning practically
every feature of the beautiful and
massive edifice, none will gainsay.

the future evident throughout. All
things considered, we do not believe
it has an equal in the state of Iowa or
the northwest.
The excavation for the new court
house was commenced in May, 1908,
after the old building had boen torn
down. The new building is ll5x95
feet at it's exterior extremities, three
stories high, and is surmounted by
handsome, massive tower, the topmost
point of the copper-covered dome be-
ing 1873 feet from the ground. 1t
stands upon one of the most command
ing public building sights in the
northwest, which occupies an entire
block and rises to point higher than
any other in the main part of the city.
The slope to the street on all sides Is
gradual and has been made by terraces

the upper stories and tower, and of
grayish brown spotted Marquette rain
drop stone for the basement and ap-

flight of stone steps through a large
portico of Graecian style, supported
by four massive pillars. above which
rests triangle containing figure re-
presenting Justice. The whole
building is covered with fine slate
roof.
The structure is of stcne, steel and
concrete. with hollow brick partitions
and metal lath. absolutely tireproof
throughout, with no wood or infiam-

Texas has the territory ard resources
to become an empire. In area it Is
larger than New York, Pennsylvania,
Illinois and Ohio combined, and at the
present rate of increase In population,
1t will pass Ohio before 1920, Illinois
before 1890, Pennsylvania by 1910 and
New York by 1850 If it were as
densely settled as New York now is
it would ld:contain Al 900, 600 inhabitants
and if as densely populated as England
and Germany it would contain 80, 600,
900. The exports from Galveston are
now greater chan the exports from
Philadelphia, Baltimore, or Boston.
Only New York and New Orleans
make larger outbound shipments and
Galveston will exceed New Orleans
in a very short time, and become the
second exporting city in America.
Since 1860 Illinois has had more miles
of railroad than any other state till
this fall; but in September Texas
succeeded it having now 1917 miles OF

Helena, Mont, July ia man named
Albert Redmond, living near Columbia
Falls, thru whose land the new railroad
to the north runs, made serious objection
to grading the right of away thru his
place, and condemnation proceedings were
resorted to- whereby the railroad gained
its point, built the railroad and has been
running trains over it's line. To all or
this Redmond has seriously objected, and
on, Tuesday afternoon he decided to pre-
vent the operation of trains, and, 1t IS
alleged tore up one section Of steel ties
scraped away the gravel rOadbed and left
the track in a bad condition, so when the
train from Whitefish came along last night
it was derailed and seriously wrecked.
AS the train was backing down the ca
boose was the first car to be wrecked.
Those in the car jumped and all saved
themselves, but Mr.. Porter, one of the
contractors, had his leg bruised jumping.
Redmond was arrested today brought 10
Kalispell and put in Jail. His preliminary
hearing was set for next Tuesday. 1t Is
thought he has been brOOding over the
matter so long that his mind has become
affected and that he is a dangerous man
to be at large. He was held in the sum
of 81 900 and, being unable to furnish this
went to Jail.
