Railroad to
Twin Falls

A contract was closed Friday be-
tween the Oregon Short Line and
the Twin Falls Land & Irrigation
company, whereby the completion
of the line of railroad to Twin
Falls is assured, and at once.
Some time ago the work of build
ing the grade for the first 40 miles,
from Minidoka to the Snake river,
was commenced by the Short Line,
but by the new contract the grade
for the remaining 40 miles from
the river to Twin Falls City, will
be pushed right along. Manager
Filler of the big irrigation company
closed up the matter Friday, and
Vice President Bancroft will APP
prove the plans as soon as they are
placed before him.
The grading contract will be let
to the Utah Construction company
in all probability, as that company
is doing the work on the first Sec
ton of 20 miles, now nearly COM
pleted. This will insure the COM
pIetion of the road to Twin Falls
City by the coming summer.

Miners Have
Narrow Escape

Five hundred pounds of powder
accidentally became ignited in No.
5 level of the Morning mine, in the
Occur d'Alenes, and burned with
out exploding. The men working
on the level could not escape and
were compelled to remain impris-
oned until the powder had been
consumed.
The car boy was transporting a
car of powder to the face of the
tunnel when it caught fire. It is
codsid red miraculous that the
powder did not explode; had it
done so it would have cost the lives
of score of men.

4 hand Of a yemschick. He had
reasons Of his own for absenting him

farewell. He was rather afraid Of these
women.
Presently the door opened and Ca
trina came quickly out, followed by a
servant carrying a small hand bag.
Paul could not see Catrina's face. She
was yelled and furred to the eyelids.
Without a word the girl took her seat
in the sleigh, and the servant prepared
the bearskin rugs. Paul gathered up
the reins and took his place beside her.
A few moments were required to draw
up the rugs and fasten them with
straps; then Paul gave the word, and
the horses leaped forward.
AS they sped down the avenue Catri-
ma turned and looked her last on Thors.
For nearly half an hour they drove in
silence. Only the whistle of the iron
bound runners on the powdery snow,
the creak Of the warming leather on
the horses, the regular breathing of
the team, broke the stiffness Of the for.

said nothing.
Paul withdrew his gloves and sub

why.
For the moment Paul had forgotten

he gently pushed the chattering count

Hans Christian Andersen.


Among the gifts TO Hans Christian
Andersen on the celebration of the
sevcltieth anniversary of his birth.
April >, 1870. was Il volume which con-
tanned one of his tales translated into
fifteen different languages. Perhaps
no new translations have been added
in the thirty years that have elapsed
since his death, which followed close
upon his seventeen anniversary, but
the centenary of the birth of the great
Danish author finds his name Il verita-
bic household word.
The story of Hans Christians career.
to adopt the curtailcd name used by
his early associates, is the old one of
obScurity, poverty, ridicule, struggle
and triumph. When honor came to
him outside of his own country the as
sociatcs of his youth cried: What,
Hams Christian called poet in France
him when he could not spell, when we
gave him clothes to keep him warm
and fed him.
When young Hans left his home in Il
remote corner Of Denmark 10 seek his
fortunes in Copenhagen he Wore a suit
made from some old clothes of his de
ceased fathcr. a humble shoemaker of
OdenSe. Ills trousers were stuffed
into the legs of pair of wonderful
boots. and his general makeup and un-
sophisticated ways earned many re-
buff. He sang and recited his own
poems. for the most part crude and
ungrammattcal productions. and in
London or Paris would have starved
to death or lapsed into misery. For
tunatcly the influential poets OF Co
pcnhagcn saw budding genius in
their gawky, i'll dressed comtryman
and set him to studying Latin, Danish
and music. He sang in the theater
until his childhood's voice gave out
he was only fourteen years old-then
took a place in the ballet.
AnderSen's sincerity and purity of
mlns% saved him and won new and
stanch friends on all sides. Noble
men ana women in France and Ger
many figure among the powerful
friends acquired in his young days.
His first considerable poem "The Dy-
ing Child" gave him the rank of ma
tional poet. 1t appeared before the
author was thirty years Old and was
soon followed by the first volume of
the "Fairy Tales" which laid the foun-
datton for AnderSen'S worldwide fame.
For long time the role of writer
for children was diStasteful to Ander-
sen. but late i'll life he accepted it in
earnest. ana his name may be added
to the list of those who achieved true
greatness after the age of forty.

Ideas From Nature.

Walking on the outskirts Of Bolton
one autumn evening, clever young
man became interested in watching
the seeds falling from "A sycamore tree.
He observed that they acquired ro-
tary motion before reaching the
ground, and, inquiring into the cause,
he found that the two wings were
slightly turned in opposite directions,
which caused them to revolve in fall
ing The idea of making Il screw pro
peller on this principle at once occur
red to him.
Galvani, a natural philosopher of
Italy. was dissecting a dead frog one
day while Il pupil was making expert
ments in electricity by his side. He
observed that the muscles of the frog,
being exposed, gave signs Of motion
whenever the nerves came in contact
with the scopel. Galvani discovered
the existence of new principle in
this phenomenon and originated the
fertile branch of physics known by
the name of galvanSm.

1t takes about one hour to put the
entire busy population of Il great city
into Il cursing mood when there is
tic-up on the transportation lines and
about the same length of time to walk
the humor off and get into happier
frame of mind. Just why walking for
a purpose should be considered hard
ship by city people Is a mystery. With
leisure on their hands they invariably
set out for walk along the streets
and avenues where they ride daily.
Walking is good in the residence dis
gested business quarters the procession
moves steadily on, up and down, right
and left, on the smooth pavement.
The business man will devote half
an hour to home exercise with Il ma
chine in close room. then jump
aboard Il crowded car at the nearest
corner and sit cramped and uncom-
Portable, during an hours ride to the
office or shop. A half an hours walk
would take him to Il line where he
could travel in comfort with no risk
to health. But that would be walking
to business or toward it.
City men locate their homes close to
transit stations in order to be prepared
for emergencies and to make a speedy
trip at all times. Unfortunately the
emergency is always on. They time
leaving home so as to take a train or
car that will land them at the Office
at certain hour. This involves a
rush which has no element of healthy
exercise in it. Even with time to
spare they linger at home instead of
walking part way. Athletic sports are
deemed beneficial to health, and money
as well as time is counted well spent
in outdoor play. Walking costs moth
ing but time, is good vitalizer and
can easily be made an adjunct Of busi-
ness activity.

Tho hiuKuen Problem.

The uninitiuted mind naturally Won
lerS whether an army situated as the
Russians we're at Mukden must neces-
sal'ily yield before an attack of equal
Or even superior numbers. War Is so
often lkCncd to a game of chess OF
checkers that it is supposed that there
must be Il move possible to offset any
move on the board. Thanking an army
or turning the flank OF Il position or
striking heavy blow at one extremity
of the encmy's line is an Old move and
one that every general should be pre-
pared to meet. In fact, the tendency
of warfare today is to make flank at
tack3 rather Cham blooIy frontal at
tacks. Robert L. Lee wthstood Grants
siege at Petersburg from June, lS64, to
April, 1863 and succumbed when Sher-
idan turned his flank at Five Forks.
The usual move to check flank at
tack is Il counter attack on the enc
mv's main line in order to compel him
to recall the column operating off the
flank. This form Of counter move is
most frequently resortcd to because, if
successful ut the start, it may disrupt
the opposing line completely. Then all
Is lost to the party which attempted
the hunking movement.
Another move, and one attended with
great risk, is for the general threaten
ed with Il flank attack to detach Il col
umn from bis main line to intercept
the fanling column Then all depends
upon an encounter between these two
semi-independent forces. Lee attempt
ed to thwart Sheridan at Five FORKS
in this way and failed.
The situation at Petersburg furnishes
a good illustration of the moves posi-
ble for a general beset as kuropatkin
