GREAT SHOWING OF
N. D. R. R. BUILDING,

Bismarck Tribune The slgnltl-
canoe Of the great lead OF North
Dakota over other states in the con-
struction of railway track in the
state is that the work OF develop
ment and settlement and with the
same opportunities, SO far as terri
tory is concerned, for settlement.
North Dakota's share Of the rail
road mileage. constructed during
1905 is given at 525 miles, out OF a
total Of 992 miles in six northwest
states. The 500 and Great North
ern have constructed the greatest
mileage in the state during the
year, the line Of the 500 from Thief
River Falls west, paralleling the
Great Northern, comprising proba-
bly, more mileage than any other
single line built in the state. The
Great Northern has also built q
number of new branch lines. The
500 line construction also includes
mileage from Underwood to Garri-
son, and another year will probably
include a further addition to- Minot.
The Northern Pacific has added to
its mileage in the direction Of the
Missouri river from its branch lines.
Another year is apt to see a North
ern Pacific line north and south on
i the west side Of the Missouri. 1t
is apparent from these large addi-
tions to the railway mileage in the
state that fair treatment and fair
taxation on the part Of the state
has had its effect in inducing the
building of new lines. The result
is the rapid development Of new
sections Of the state, and the addi-
tions to the taxable property in the
state, not only Of the value of the
lines of railroad, but Of the addi-
tional value of property created di-
rectly by and as a result Of the
development Of new towns and op-
ening Of new farms. No single in
fluence will quicker develop and
make prosperous a new state offer
ing natural advantages such-as are
possessed by North Dakota, than
the construction Of railroad mileage
bringing distant ) sections of the
state into close and convenient
communication with the market

the marriage of the couple at Will

correctly informed in the premises.
The marriage took place at the res

at this particular spot, the license
procured in Burleigh county is as
legal document asa United States
bank note. The happy couple are
married as tight as anybody, as they
would find if theyundertook to sever
the bonds. The fault, if any lies in
substituting the town Of Wilton for
theaexact spot where the ceremony
was pronounced. 1t was an mad

ing stunt Tuesday morning. In the
mail that morning he received a

tanning the draft on the shelf. In
short time afterward, he remem-
bered the draft and commenced to
search for it. After 'frisking him
SELF pretty thoroughly, he could
not discover the precious bit of
paper and the next move was the
postofice. No draft there. By this
time, Jacob began to get: slightly
excited, and started to catechise
pedestrians. "Nein," said all of
them. In the meantime, a friend
had picked up the letter and draft,
and after allowing Jacob to figure
out his path that morning and de-
eide what he had better do, some
one informed him that his draft was
found, and he felt better. It was
finally turned over, and Jacob set
up the cigars and put the draft in
his pocket and fastened it with a
safety pin SO as to avoid further
complications in the future.

WOMAN ASKS FOR
HUSBAND S ARREST
FEARS HIS THREATS TO KILL
HER

Mrs. w. M. Hull, 239 Hewitt avenue,
complained to the police that her hus-
band, a mechanic, had threatened to
kill her yesterday afternoon for no rea-
son whatever, and the woman asked
that he be taken into custody on a
charge of insanity. An investigation
will be made.
Mrs. Hull says that her husband has
lately acted strangely and yesterday
he called a physician for no apparent
reason than a whim. After the ply
sician had left the house Hull is said
to have brutally attacked his wife and
literally Kicked her from the house.
While it is only of recent date that
any signs of insanity have been no.
ticed in Hull, his wife says that for
the last fifteen years of her married
life with him she has been abused in
language and treatment.
Mrs. Hull asked yesterday afternoon
that her husband be placed in Jail at
once, as she said she was afraid to re-
turn to the house while he was there
lest he should carry out his threat to
kill her.
But the police refused to make an
arrest Of the man without warrant.
and this could not be obtained until
Monday as the police courts are closed
on Sunday.

happy visitors who were seeking a

wended their way to the ternal hills,

BOYS INJURIES
ARE NOT FATAL
THURST0N RITTER REPORTED
BETTER
Father of Six-Year-Old Lad Who Fell
from Car Window and Broke
Hip Is on Way to Los
Angeles

Thurston Ritter, the 6-year-old boy
who fell from a Pullman car window of
the Los Angeles express train, south
bound from Oakland Friday night,
sustaining a fractured hip and other
serious injuries is reported to be in a
favorable condition at the Clara Bar
ton hospital, 447 South Olive street.
where he was taken Saturday morning.
The father, who is a business man
of Denver, has been notified of the
accident to his child and will probab bly,
arrive in Los Angeles within a few
days.
Mrs. Ritter is constantly with her
boy at the hospital and is very much
worried about the outcome of the ac-
cident.
she could give no explanation for the
boys fall from the car window except
to say that he had been sitting beside
the opened window looking out at the
lights that occasionally flashed past the
train.
He lost his balance when leaning
out too far it is thought, and fell from
the train. AS the boy fell from the
window his mothers piercing screams
attracted the attention of the conduc-
tor and the train was slowly backed
along the track with the brakemen
swinging lighted lanterns from the
rear platform. The train was COM
PEELED to back up for a mile before the
boy was found. 1t was impossible to
secure medical aid for him until Los
Angeles was reached, and this fact
has made the case more serious than 1t
would otherwise have been.

GIRL MISSING FOR TWO DAYS

Year-oId Daughter Who
eft Home

Mrs. Lucy Crowley, 749 South Hope
street, yesterday reported to the po-
lice that her 14-year-old daughter,
Leona Roy, had been missing from her
home for two days.
The mother was at a loss to account
for the departure of her daughter as
she says she could have had no pos
sible reason for running away.
She says, however, that the girl has
frequently left home before, but never
to remain for a longer period than a
day or a night.
According to Mrs. Crowley's state
ment, her daughter has been associat-
ing with girl of bad reputation, ana
IL is feared that she may have enticed
Leona from home.
When last seen Mrs. Crowley's $
daughter was dressed in a dark red
dress. Her hair was cut moderately
short, and was of a brown shade. She
is rather plump and had brown eyes.

BUILDERS FEAR
MEASURE DOOMED
CONCRETE ORDINANCE GOES
TO COMMITTEE
Is Said to Greatly Favor Brick Men,
and Influence Has Been Used
to Kill Proposed Build
ing Law

Los Angeles architects and builders
do not expect the passage of a rein
forced concrete ordinance this year.
The report of the special committee of
experts on brick and concrete con-
struction who were appointed six
months ago, has been submitted. 1t
is said to show great partiality to
the brick contractors. Friends of con-
crete construction, knowing the tenor
of the provisions of the report before
it was submitted. began the pulling
of wires. AS a. result the council re-
fused to take any. action and referred
the entire question to itself as a COM
mittee of the whole.
For effectuaIly killing any measure
this method is more satisfactory than
that Of referring to one of the many
minor committees there to let it die
an easy death for want of attention.
AS the conditions now exist Los An
geles is practically without an ordi-
nance to regulate a class of building
construction which is almost daily be-
coming more important. j. ]. Backus
building superintendent asserts that
something should be done and that i'm
mediately.
Without any blowing of horns the
chamber of commerce has a commit
tee Investigating the situation. 1t was
appointed two weeks ago and has yet
to make it's report. 1t is expected that
the Municipal league will take action
in the same way and in the near fu-
ture.
The committee which drew up the
proposed ordinance was composed of
A. F. Rosenheim, John C. Austin, John
Parkinson, G. j. Kubach Joseph Sim
ons, Charles r. Whittlsey and Octavius
Morgan. Their sessions, it is reported,
were often stormy ones and it was
only by a compromise between the ad-
Vocates of concrete construction as
opposed to brick that the report was
finally drafted and submitted TO the
council
Mr.. Backus and Irving H. Hellman,
city Inspector of reinforced concrete,
both assert that if the ordinance is
enacted as proposed by the committee,
it is sure to be unsatisfactory. Two
concrete contractors have even gone so
far as to employ legal talent to fight
the proposed measure.
If pressure is brought to bear on the
present council it is highly probable
that the report will not be given final
action, but that new commission will
be appointed.
