CROSS COUNTY
LINE 117 TIMES
G. NJ. &. ST. p. Encounters Musscl
shell River Once in
Every Mile.

One or the most remarkable
stretches OF railroad track in the
world will be encountered by the
passenger, on the new Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul. when it passes
along the Musselshell river, separ-
ating Fergus and Yellowstone coun-
ties. The stretch referred to is lis
miles in length and in travelling
over this section the passenger
will 60 from Fergus into Yellowstone
county SO times and return into
Fergus county 50 times during the
ride. He will thus have crossed the
county line separating the two coun-
les. III times. When it is consi-
dered that the line which separates
the two political divisions is moth
ing more or less than the Mussel-
shell river, the feat will become even
more remarkable. While the river
is encountered III times it is not
bridged in ev cry instance, as some
OF the newspapers over the state
have been stating, but in most
cases the original channel of the
stream is changed and the water
diverted into new course. This
not only maEcs it possible for the
st. Paul to follow an air line, but
straightens out the Mussclshell toa
considerable extent.
This fact was included in the re-
port of the road filed recently with
the state board of equalization, and
shows the amount Of track it had
on March | which will be subject
to taxation this year. The report
indicates the point where the road
enters the the state, and follows
the course through Fergus county
The line enters the state and pas
scs. easterly through Custer county
to the county line between Yellow
stone and Fergus countless says
the report. Continuing in a gem
orally casterly direction it crosses
the Musselshcll 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. III times, passing
thereby into Fergus county 50
times and from Fergus county into
Yellowstone county So times
The report shows further that the
road has a total of La go miles oi
roadway in the state, with 14.90
miles Of siding. This length of rail
is divided between four counties as
follows: Custer, roadway 1920
sidetrack 7.47; Meagher, roadwa,
26.07, sidetrack 1.28; Yellowstone
roadway 3O.41, sidetrack $40; Fer
gus, roadway 40, sidetrack 3.O5

railroad will have an increased
number of bridges. An cntirel,

that OF the old Montana railroad
has been CONSTRUCTED and crosse!

than the old road. The Montan,
railroad formerly held the record fo
the number # bridges in a giver
strech in Montana. It had tw,
bridges to every mile. Now how
ever, it is probable that in a stretcl
of almost 200 miles the Milwaukee,
holds the worlds record for bridges
The bridges have been construct
ed in such great numbers in orde
to follow an air line as nearly a
possible, and also to climinat

POINTS DEFECTS IN
THE VACCINATION LAW.
Thousands OF Children Arc Kept
From The Schools.

Harrisburg Especially. - Conflicts
between the provisions of the COM
pulsory education and vaccination
laws of Pennsylvania are held blame
able for keeping thousands of chill
dren out of the public schools of
the State by Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction Nathan G. Schaeffer in
the annual report which he submit
. ted to Governor Stuart. He declares
bluntly that the hopes of those who
endeavored to make vaccination gem
eral have not come to pass.
Still more startling is the SUPER
intendents statement that ministers
and Sunday school officers permit un-
Vaccinated children to come to Sun
| day school and are as much law
breakers as the school officials who
allow children to attend sessions
when they can not produce a GER
| tificate.
In his remarks on the subject of
| vaccination DR.. Schaeffer says:
The State Commissioner of
Health, DR.. Samuel G. Dixon, ascer-
tained that in 1851 schools which his
| subordinates inspected there were
/ 5O,S17 unvaccinated children in at
tendance. The total number in
schools in the State is 33,171. These
figures show that the progress of
those who framed the law excluding
unyaccinated children from schools
and who hoped thereby to make vac
cinatlon universal, has not been real
| lied.
Moreover, legislation which.
| through no fault of their own, makes
| children lawbreakers for the sake of
| getting an education, is very far from
satisfactory. The law now favors
those who wish to evade the penalty
| for neglecting to send their children
to school. By simply refusing to
furnish a certificate of successful vac
cination the parent can have the
child excluded from school, and the
power of the attendance officer over
said child is at an end.
THE dissemination of anti-vacci-
nation literature is daily increasing
the difficulties by which the schools
are confronted. Fully 60 per cent
| of all the letters sent to the educa-
tional commission bear upon vacci-
nation"
The statistical portion of the re-
| port shows that there are $3.50
school districts in the State, 33,171
schools, 7,4SS male teachers, &c.
525 female teachers. 1,231,200 pu-
pills, an increase of 5,812. The aver
age number of pupils in daily at
tendance last year was 951, 1,670.

will go through, because there is a
great and growing sentiment for such
fair" w. c. Norton, president of

ton came here from Altoona, where
he attended meeting in the interest

here was to boost the State fair"

Harrisburg the place to hold the fair,
