YOUNG HILL TELLS
OF NEW RAILROAD
Transcontinental Line Being
Constructed Across
Canada.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, April 3.-The report
that President j. ]. Hill of the Great
Northern is building through Canada a
third transcontinental line with which
to enlarge his present system of Pacific
railroads was confirmed today in effect
by Vice President Louis w Hill.
THE report might be called approx
mately correct said Hill cautiously.
1T contains more facts than are usual
ly found in newspaper stories OF that
sort"
Hill agreed that the new transcontl-
mental line would probably DC COM
pleted before the Grand Trunk Paci1c
is built through to the ocean.
Our line" he said, includes only 500
or 900 miles that are still to be con-
structed west of winnipeg. The Grand
Trunk has done nothing yet in that re-
gion. 1t has been stated that the
Grand Trunk Pacific must take four or
five years to finish it's lines, but we
could complete ours within two, or at
any rate within three years"

Seeks Divorce Because Hus-
band Treated Her Cruelty
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

SANTA CRUZ, April 3.-Dr. Frederick
C. ]. Bell is again in the Santa Cruz
courts. His wife has brought an ac-
tion for divorce.
A number of years ago DR.. Bell ar
rived in Santa Cruz with Mrs Bell No.
2, the woman now suing for divorce.
Mrs. Bell No l appeared upon the scene
a few days later and the doctor was
arrested for bigamy. He was released
after spending a time in Jail He was
next heard of in the Northwest, where
he appeared as pastor of a New Life
church at Spokane. He created quite a
sensation by his lectures in Seattle. In
the meantime he secured divorce from
Mrs. Bell No. 1 and married the woman
who had preferred the charge of
bigamy against him. Bell started out
in life as a Methodist preacher and for
years was known throughout New York
as Fred Bell, the boy singing evan
geHst.
Mrs Bell is now in Santa Cruz. but
expects to return to her former home
in the East soon. DR.. Bell is supposed
to be in Australia. According to the
complaint for divorce Immediately after
his marriage Bell began niistreating his
wife, keeping it up until she left him
in Melbourne last month. She alleges
that Bell cursed and abused her and
threatened to kill her. She charges
that he seized her by the throat and
told her he would choke her 70 death.
Once, she alleges, he tore her waist
from her body. While in Santa Cruz in
September he told her while they were
walking around the cliff that he wished
she would fall over the cliff and drown.

SAN BERNARDINO, April 3.-The
City Councilmen of San Bernardino
were today compelled to dig down IN
their own pockets and guarantee Sfs5
for the lighting of the streets OF the

state of affairs is due to the failure
of the Lytle Creek Power Company

company agreed to furnish power on
April l. the date on which the contract
of the San Bernardino Gas and Electric
Company expires. 1t did not do so, and
the old company would not give llght
unless paid in advance. The charter
would not permit the payment in ad-
vance, and therefore the Councilmen
were compelled to guarantee the
amount which will be drawn from the
city treasury on the installment plan.
