SEIMS AND SHIELDS WILL AWARD
sUB-coNTRAcTs FOR THE
ROAD.
Construction Of North Bank Line Will
Attract the Attention of Rail-
road Builders.

Announcement is expected in the
near future Of the names of the con-
tractors to whom Sims & Shields will
award the work of constructing the
Northern Pacific extension from
Pasco to Vancouver, the new Hill
line down the north bank of the COL
umbia.
Sims & Shields have the contract
from Mr.. Hill, but they never do
railroad construction directly; it is
their invariable custom to parcel out
the work among subcontractors, and
these latter, especially in rock, again
parcel it out among station men.
Peter Sims, now about 70 years
old, gray and in poor health, is the
daddy Of them ALI in railroad con-
struction. He has had the general
contract for more western railroad
construction work than any other
man. He built many hundred miles
of the Canadian Pacific and of the
original Great Northern, and in re-
cent years has had all of J. J. Hills
new construction, including the Col
umbia Falls cutoff, in Montana, the
Kootenai valley road from Jennings
to Kuskanook, the Republic branch,
oct i.ocr wit Ne q
Northern ana extending to Republic
and is now engaged in constructing the
Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern in the
Okanogan valley and Southern Brit
ish Columbia.
Contracts by the Yard.
AS is the case in all modern
railroad construction, Sims &. Shields
are paid at a certain rate per yard
for each class of material, rock, grav-
ell or dirt moved, and they sublet on
the same yard basis. AS the work pro-
crosses Great Northern engineers
are present as inspectors, keeping
careful measurements of the differ
ent classes of material moved, and
Sims & Shields have also their engi-
neers checking on the several sub
contractors.
All Winter Work.
The fact that construction can be
carried on along the line all months
in the year; that the railroad Is
anxious for early completion, and that
it is a big and expensive piece Of work.
assures that there will be great gath
ering of contractors and considerable
rivalry between them for subcontracts.
Porter Brothers in recent years nave
had all the bridge work under Sims
& Shields, and will probably get that
part of the new construction. They are
of Spokane and West Superior. Po-
ter Brothers have in the past done
much track laying also for Mr.. Hill,
and may get that contract unless the
company decides to do it is
self.
The Great Northern has track
laying outfits, and at times has found
it cheaper to use it's own outfits and
do the work under the direction of it's
own men.
Nine Contracting Firms.
Contractors who have had SUBJ

AN ARkORY NEEDED
1t Looks as if the Military Com
pany OF the City May be
Mustered Out
Great Need OF Auditorium in City
-Armory Would Serve
Both Purposes

For great many !ear Aberdeen
has been the home OF q company | Z
the national guard. In territorial
days General Jumper was captain Of
the local company. later on Major
Braden was in command and still later
Captain Caldwell and Major Howard
Through all these years the compan!
was maintained largely through the
efforts OF the officers Of the company
and citizens who were interested.
The outbreak of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war saw Aberdeen read! with .
company.
At the present time the company is
being kept up in the face of difficult
les that are fast making it a burden
TOO heavy for q few men 10 carry. The
whole trouble lies in the fact that
there is no available hall in the town
suitable for the company TO use for
drill purposes. Without such a home
no company can be properly kept
up.
With such q hall Aberdeen could as
we'll have q national guard company
which would be not only a credit to
the town but which would serve adj
mirable as q school of instruction for
young men in physical culture as well
as III military drill. In fact. military
drill properly supplemented by in
struction in athletics. setting-up exer-
cises. climbing. bayonet exercises and
the like. would De q great thing for all
who we're in the company. The ia
panese-Russian war has already dem
onstrated that more and more must
each individual soldier be instructed
to act for himself and to use defensive
measures alone. The old way of iron
discipline and men directly under the
eyes Of their officers has had its last
day. The training a soldier must
hereafter be given will all tend to de-
yelop the individual as a fighting
unit. This is all aside, however. from
the main question and has been men
toned only to show that a militia
company can be. and should be, a
school of instruction for young men.

HARD JOURNEY.
A Marshall County Lad Shot
Accidently -B to
City
Forty lille Ride in Severe Cold
Almost Fatal to Wounded
Youngster

a bullet wound in his side and a
forty mile drive on a bitterly cold day
were two experiences which befell six
teen year old Joe Holland Monday.
He and q brother went for a load of
hay Monday morning at about nine
o'clock. Thinking they might have a
little sport they took along a twenty
two rife and after they had gone some
distance. he loaded it. In some way
unknown to the boys the rife was dis
charged and Joe was hit in the left
side. The bullet. as was afterwards
found. struck his hip bone and glanced
from it, lodging somewhere in his side.
1t could not be located.
The boysturned and made for home as
fast as they could aud l.. j Enpar.tbeir
guardian, for they are orphans. made a
hasty examination of the wound and
at once decided that Joe must he
brought to Aberdeen where he could
have the best medical attention and
be placed in the hospital.
START On LONG DRIVE
The Engar home is between Clare-
mont and Langford, nearly forty miles
from the city, and the day was bitterly
cold, the thermometer having register
ed above zero only during the middle
OF the day. Mr.. Engar, however. real
lied that time was precious ald that
b boys life depended on how soon he
could be brought to the city. He took
DIS best team and from the time ,f
starting stopped only once and then
to change horses.
They arrived at Aberdeen alono
TOWARD half past four Monday after.
noon and Mr.. Engar at once took the
boy to DR.. Murdy's Office.
NEARLY OVERCOME BY COLD
Both Mr.. Engar and the boy suffered
from the cold severity though ,Joa
quite weak from loss of blood on the
start, was nearly overcome by cold
"nen trip was ended. His system re-
celved quite a severe shock.
Or. Murdy made an examination Of
Inc wound and had him taken to ST.
Luke's hospital. Here the doctor
dressed the wound and tried n
locate the bullet though without snc,
cess. De found that particles Of the
lads clothing had been carried int

apprensive about results. The morn.

SHALL ABERDEEN KEEP coNpAs1e

SCo& Az
Aberdeen cannot keep a militia COM
pany here unless in some way a hall
can be provided. Those who have
been keeping the company up have
become discouraged. For instance.
Lieut.. ". ". Reaman has spent from
800 to 500 of his own means, besides
giving much of his time. to the sup
port Of the company, hoping that each
year would see the building of a hall
or auditorium which would be a suit
able home for the company. Captain
Sheldon has spent much time and
money also, as did Captain Hubbard
before him. Major Howard when in
command Of the company, also drew
Oh his private purse to a greater ex-
tent than is generally known, to keep
things going. It is almost certain
that the company will have to be
mustered out within a few months
unless something is done.

her and declared she did not mean to
hurt him so badly. Maloney is said to
have told her that he did not blame

Maloney Sunday which he requested

It IS WRONG.
TO THE BOY
How Young Tucker
Struggled to Win
the Cadetship.

The Delegate to Congress has done
a few things, and has not done a great
MANY more--but he has done nothing
that has caused quite so much adverse
comment as his selection for appoint
ment to West Point of the boy who
passed fourth in the competitive ex-
animation called by Kuhio himself,
making the boy who passed first in
both the West Point and Annapolis
examinations alternate, and overlook
ing altogether the boy who passed sec
ond in both examinations.
eft is most outrageously unfair, !"
said Secretary Atkinson yesterday.
1--WE are trying to give everybody
SQUARE deal in this country The Del
egate. by this action. goes to work and
undoes in a moment the effect OF
months of effort. And that to say
nothing of the effect Of such unfair
ness upon the mind of the boy himself
What is left to the boy if he cannot
trust to the promises of men in high
position? The calling of that exam
;nation was the work of the delegate
WHY did he call it. getting the boys
70 enter into the competition. If he
intended. at the end of it, TO appoint a
certain boy anyway"
And that was the tenor of most OF
the talk yesterday. There would have
been no disposition to question the
right OF the delegate to pay any po-
liticaI debt he liked with an appoint
nent to a cadetship to West Point or
Annapolis. That is his right. under
the law. But why call competitive
examination. exciting in boys hopes
that he did not intend to crafty, II a
certain boy was to get the place in any
event? It was a bit of absolutely
needless and most heartless cruelty.
can it be possible that the fact that
Young Tucker is a white boy, and Ly-
