Probably the most picturesque phase
OF American railroad operations is
found In the manner In which the
steam roads OF the West battle with
the giant snowdrlfts of the mountain
rglons, This novel activity is seen in
Its most spectacular form ON the higher
levels of the Rocky mountains, The
iargest rotary snow plow in the world

ana the manner In which II bores

block the steel-tracked highway has
solved one OF the most perplexlng prob

l1,000 feet above the level OF the sea.
In the early days of rallroadlng In
the region beyond the Mississippi river
the familiar hand shovel was the main
dependence for clearing the tracks, and
after every heavy fail OF "the beautl-
fur an army of men that included ev-
cry available employe OF the road was
hurried to points where blockades
might be expected. Locomotives, in
strings OF two. three or four were also
hurled against the drifts in an effort
to dlslodge the troublesome masses OF
ICY crystals.
AS a solution for this aforementioned

push plow, a huge wedge-shaped struc-
ture on wheels, which bucks" the
drifts, impelled by the force Of several
powerful locomotives behind 1t, and II

However, the fact that even the heavI-
est snow plows are ofttimes baftied
by the drifts In the mountains indi-
Gated the necessity for yet more pow

time there was evolved the snow plow
known as the rotary. which has revolu-

In the principle Of Its operation the
rotary Is radically different from all
other designs of snow plows, for in

Of scoop or shovel that shoves the

ism consists OF a monster wheel which

scarcely moments warning from

portions of the vast snow coverlct the
rotary may plunge with lmpunity at u
speed of only 100 or at most 100 feet

permit speed OF say twelve miles per
hour. However. an indicator In the
pilot house records every tuctuation In
the resistance offered by the snow bar

the pilot to quickly signal for any de-

been devised railroad men wondered
that they had not hit upon the scheme

There are places where the work OF
the rotary plows In keeping open the
trail for the lrun horses is ably aug
nented, on the principle OF prevention,
by great nowsheds-stout fences or
wooden tunnels designed 20 keep the
snow from drifting over the trucks
but It is probable that had the etil-

been anticipated, many railypads would
not have expended as much money as
they did some years ago In construct

the price one transcontinental railroad
had to pay before II could successfully
operate Its trains over the Rocky noun
tain division.
Nowadays the rotaries cost something
like $4,000 each. but even at that price
they represent a great saving over
snowsheds which. aside from their first
cost, eat up thousands OF dollars In rc-
pairs every year. Moreover, the ro-
tarles have been instrumental In saving
countless lives--not merely by carrying
aid and food to snow-bound trains and

Abducted Child is Recovered.

OH tue AlSl VI last July Joe
McCaslin, with the business end
of sure-enough and fully loaded
revolver-after a family quarrel
convinced Mrs. McCaslin, his
duly and lawfully welded wife,
that their daughter, Gladys, aged
3 years, was his'n to keep, har-
Dor, cherish and provide for, and
he proceeded-himself seemingly
believing his own statement-to
forcibly tote away the fair young
daughter of his choice 20 parts
unknown to his spouse.
Mrs. McCaslin, however, after
the barrel of a wicked-looking
pistol, in the hands of a dam
phool, had been removed, seemed
to realize that Joe had taken the
bull by one horn only and she
proceeded without delay to search
for the other and the sequel-at
the present time-indicates she
found it and also loosened Joe's
grip on the other one.
She brought an action for
divorce and custody of the child
ren-Gladys included. The evil
dence of plaintiff was heard in
district court in and for Custer
county, Nebraska, at a regular
term thereof in the forenoon Of
last month-August-B. O. Hos
teller presiding. Josephius, hav-
ing fled with the much-coveted,
golden-h aired cherub did not ap-
pear before Missioner to contradict
or controvert the testimony adj
duced, believing himself safe in
the possession, consequently a
decree as prayed for was granted
by the honorable jurist upon the
bench.
That made things binding and
if Mister McCaslin thought he
was safe in his possession of the
daughter he was inundated by
an April foolishness blizzard in
less than sixty days after Judge
Hostetler had signed the decree
and Hon. Geo. B. MAR, the most
worthy clerk of court, had affixed
the seal thereto, for Charlie
Richardson-the old sleuth-had
been sleeping with one eye at
least half open and doing a bit of
sly correspondence whereby he
located the highly-prized female
of three summers, at Miller, South
Dakota, still in possession of Joe
with gun, stopping at the home
of his brother in the country.
Last Sunday night, armed with
a copy of the decree made and
subscribed by our learned Judge
and other supposedly necessary
assesories-and accompanied by
Mrs. McCaslin, Sheriff Richard
son left for Miller. Upon arriv-
ing there he secured the aid of a
local official and drove out to Joe's
brothers place. Joe was not
there, but Gladys was and the
strong arm Of the law embraced
her-likewise a mother and the
trio-Sheriff, mother and Gladys
arrived in broken Bow yester-
day and all hope Joe will realize
he has lost with ten points out of
ten against him and in the future
be good and make amends.
