her, and she can depend on me for any
amount. My girls wouldn't. let me
marry the woman I loved, and I know
how Abruzzi and Katharine feel. I
am in on the deal and the old man Is
backing the girl for her hearts desire"
Cites His own Experience.
Senate Davis, over so years old, Is
the father of Mrs. Stephen B. Elkins,
and is worth over $50, 900, 900. Some
time ago he desired to marry Miss
Maude Ashford. She was poo but
beautiful. His two daughters. Mrs.
Elkins and Mrs. Arthur Lee, protested
so vigorously that Miss Ashford broke
the engagement, declaring that she had
no desire to disrupt the family.
When asked what about the reported
intention of King Victor Emmanuel, of
Italy, to make Senator Elkins a duke,
in order that the marriage would not
be considered m~organatic, Senator
Davis said:
81 don't know, but as for myself. I
don't want to be a duke, and 1 don't
take much stock in dukes. l was born
beneath the screech of the eagle, and
1 want to die there. Katharine is my
girl, however, and what she wants she
Is going to have if L can get it for
her"
Duke Not After Money.
It is understood that the Duke of
Abruzzi has never asked or limited at a
financial settlement. 1t is a straight
case of love, and the only thing that is
necessary is to rrange the intricate
and exacting formalities demanded by
the court for the marriage of a member
of the royal family. Just how that
matter will be adjusted cannot be told
now, but it can be said that h King
of Italy is friendly in this regard and it
is simply a question of settling details.
There was a council of the Elkins
family last night, al which ex-senator
Davis, Mrs. Arthur Lee and others were
present. No'one of those who attended
would talk about the matter, out it
was said that everything was moving
satisfactorily. The engagement is in
force. The duke has returned to Italy
to consult with members of his family
and to adjust the many intricate mat
tiers that attend the proposed marriage.
AS soon as the duke has seen the king
and details have been perfected, official
announcement will be made in the court
journal, and the cabinets of Europe will
be notified. 1t is aid to be the desire
of the royal family of Italy hat mat
tiers be taken in an orderly course and
worked out in a formal manner. When
the proper time comes the official an-
nouncement will be forthcoming coupled
with all the details arranged for the
wedding. This will probably not occur
before fall.

BRIDGE EVERY MILE
STRETCH OF RAILROAD TRACK
THAT IS UNIQUE.
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Rail
road Has New Record for Num-
Der Of Bridges In q Single
Territory.

One Of the most remarkable
stretches Of railroad track in the
world will be encountered by the pas
sengers who, within a few months
will be able to take passage for east
ern cities over the new Chicago, Nil
waukee & st. Paul, when he passes
along the Musselshell river, separat
ing Fergus and Yellowstone counties
The stretch referred to Is lis miles In
length and in travelling over this sec
ton the passenger will go from Fer
gus into Yellowstone county SO times
and return into Fergus county So times
during the ride. He will tLai
have crossed the county line separat
ing the two counties 1T times. When
It Is considered that the line which
separates the two political divisions
Is nothing more nor less than the
Musselshell river, the feat will become
even more remarkable. For each
crossing OF the line there Is a bridge,
hence III bridges have been con
structed in a distance Of 115 miles
This Is an average of more than one
bridge to every mile, and III separate
opportunities for the respondent pas
senger desiring to commit suicide by
drowning.
This fact was included in the report
OF the new road filed with the state
board Of equalization, and shows the
amount of track 1t had on March 1.
which will be subject to taxation this
year. The report indicates the point
whore the road enters the state, and
follows the course of its line through
Fergus county. THE line enters the
state and passes easterly through
Custer county to the county line be-
tween Yellowstone and Fergus coun-
ties" says the report. Continuing In
a generally easterly direction 1t
crosses the Musselshell river, which is
the dividing line between the county
Of Fergus, on the north side, and the
county of Yellowstone, on the south
side Of the river, lit times, passing
thereby into Fergus county SO times
and from Fergus county into Yellow
stone county 5S times"
The report shows further hat the
road has a total Of 174.6S miles Of
roadway in the state, with 1870 miles
Of siding. This length Of rail is di-
vided between four counties as fol-
lows: Custer, roadway 1920, side
track 7.47; Meagher, roadway, 26.O7,
sidetrack 1.2S; Yellowstone, roadway
30.41, sidetrack $40; Fergus, roadway
40, sidetrack 3.05. Coming up Sixteen
Mile canyon In Meagher and Fergus
counties the railroad has been con-
structed, and crosses the creek more
times, II possible, than the old road
The Montana railroad formerly held
the record for the number Of bridges
in a given stretch in Montana. 1t had
two bridges to every mile. Now, how
ever, II is probable that In a stretch of
almost 200 miles the Milwaukee holds
the worlds record for bridges. The
bridges have been constructed in such
great numbers in order to follow an
air line as nearly as possible, and also
to eliminate grades to some extent
