The train yard is 7GO feet wide, one half
being located on either side of the center
line of Delaware avenue, which was taken
as the axis of the terminal. On the east
side 200 feet are used to accommodate the
business handled over the southern con-
nection by way of the tunnel under LIST
street, the plaza and station. The re-
manning $50 feet, which will be on a
higher level. will have tracks arranged
for handling the business of the Balti-
more and Ohio and the Pennsylvania be-
tween Washington and New York, and
that of the Baltimore and Ohio between
Washington and points west. There are
no grade crossings in any part of the ter
minal yards, all the streets and thorough
fares being crossed by overhead brldges
or by raising the level of the street and
carrying it over the tracks on handsome
ly constructed bridges.
The new freight terminal is being con-
structed at New York and Florida ave-
nues, and will be most complete for
handling all the business furnished by the
city of Washington. About so per cent
of this business is inbound and 20 per
cent outbound. Washington is not a pro-
ducing city. but it's rapid growth and good
character of buildings make it a great
market for all kinds of building material,
which is handled in carload lots. In
view of this, team or bulk unloa6n g

about $50 cars. while the house tracks
will take care of about 200 cars.

Another departure from the general GUS
tom in station building was made in erect
ing the train sheds which cover the
thirty-three passenger tracks. Instead Of
building a completely closed shed that
would catch all the smoke. dirt, noise, ETC.
the train sheds of the terminal are w.
shaped, each disjoined from the other,
with gutter in the middle of the "Y"-

The terminal express building. which

as central at the Grant county
telephone office, in a letter to
friends here states that she has
takeL up a homestead claim
near Wlbaux, Montana, and
is living twenty miles from the
town on stock ranch. The land
in the locality where she is has
heretofore only been used for
grazing purposes, and one can
ride mile after mile without see-
ing anything but sky and prairie
and herds of cattle, horses or
sheep However the land is now
being taken up for farms, a pro
cess which the stock raisers do
not like, as they have had this
government land fenced ia many
cases, and are now obliged to
give it up to the new settlers,
whom they contemptuously de-
signate as ''potato-diggers. y
Miss Ruby writes in very
happy vein of her pioneer ex.
periences and says she is thor :
oughly enjoying the frontier life,
and that in lots of ways it
is away ahead OF civilization.

Stock Train Wrecked

Tuesday evening au east
bound stock train was wrecked
about a half mile west of the city.
The engine passed over the
switch which connects the "Y"
with the main line. The first
five cars, loaded with stock, how.
ever all left the track, some of
them turning over on their side
The lock to the switch was found
laying on the ground and there
being nothing to hold the switch
bar, the weight of the cars threw
the switch open The "Y" track
was quite badly torn up for sew
eral rods. OAe of the brakemen
was standing on the first car,
and when it left the track he
jumped. He was quite badly
shaken up, and broke both bones
ia one of his ankles. No one else
was injured. One car of stock
had to be let out, before the men
could get the car back again
on the track. The long side
track south Of the Main line was
thrown into use this causing no
delay to traffic. 1t is only a little
over year since the wreck in
the Miloark yards, Oct. 13. 1905,
when stock train was wrecked
at the west switch.

HIGH SCHOOL DOINGS
AS SEEN, HEARD AND REPORTED BY
"ON E OF THE NCH."

Friday is class day and all the
| classes have been working on
literary program for the past
week. Next issue of the Herald
will contain complete reports of
the doings of each class.
The football squad have re.
organized and a game is to be
played on the home gridiron Sat
urday afternoon. when our boys
will face the Webster high school
eleven. Our boys have been
training for only q short time,
and it will be worth the price of
admission to SEE how these fel-
lows act alone. Mr.. Mansf I'D is
the Milbank coach.
A com mittee has been working
on y program to be given the
parents of the students of the
High school { o Thanksgiving. A
musical treat is in store. if the
movement is a success and the
students cooperate with the
faculty and do all they possibly
can to make it success. Quite
a few are quite enthus siastic and
quite few are in their natural
cOnditiOn-asleep.
The basket ball girls are to
play Webster. Nov. 90, at Web.
ster. The girls expect to ''do"
Webster the same way they did
Waubay. at that city-no, I mean
the time Waubay played down
here, and after Mr.. Mansfield has
coached them a few times, no
doubt they will be able to hold
their own against any team
around. AS they now stand thev
will have to do better work, or
they will meet defeat everytime,
unless their opponents are in
worse condition. We don't wish
10 knock, but it must be admitted
that the girls do not play team
w.'rk at all-and that is just what
they need.
Professor Clark has appointed
= committee to decorate the
library. At a meeting Tuesday
morning, "Andy" Lockhart was
elected chair man. and on behalf
of the newly elected official, the

who has very large and inter
e>tiny collection has also promis
ed TO contribute, a. has Mrs. w.

and we assure you that every
thing placed in the cabinet will
be under lock and key always.

d
THE lawywer members of the state
senate got in a fine piece of work when
they were amending the railroad pass
law by having it provided that the
railroad companies may be permitted
to issue passes to two law firms in
each county seat if 1t may be so de-
sired" says the Clarinda Herald. This
would fix it so that if thought best the
railroad managers may be able by ju-
diciollsy looking after the lawyers to
have them all taken care Of, and the
next move will be to fill the legislature
with lawyers, so as to have the laws
made right. 1t is quite shrewd
scheme, but under the primary cleo
,tion law the people may have some
thingot say on the subject"
while the legislature neglected to
pass some measures the majority of
the people seemed to demand, on the
whole they have done WE'LL concludes
the Oakland Acorn. ''The two impor-
tant acts are the 2-cent passenger law
and the ,primary law. 1t cannot be
said that the railroads dominated this
legislature, tho some bills which the
railroad interests wished killed were
slaughtered in the senate. Maybe the
legislature worked ON the theory that
it is better to cut off the dogs tail by
degrees rather than all at once, and
so they waited two years before taking
another fall out Of the railroads"
