The course IS 402.OS miles in length,

capable Of doing close to 100 miles an

sIXty-eight miles an hour viii be done
by the fastest cars. The race will be

NEW YORK. Nov. 1S-shortIy after
the hrst hour, the market was strong
and a new high record was quickly made
on Union Pacific and Southern Pacific,

it became evident shortly after the

ONLY VISIBLE ASSETS OF ONE
or COLONEL GREEN'S BIG
COMPANIES.

New York, Oct 3O.--Somewhere In
Mexico, Col. w. c. Greene is examin-
ing bundle OF securities in seclusion,
while in New York a number of
financiers are wondering how the as
sets of their $25,0OO,000 Greene Gold
and Silver Co. have dwindled to S4S6
worth of old office furniture and Las
in cash.
This interesting situation transpired
In proceedings brought by Richard
Arnold, a broker, to recover $1,143,
said to be due him in commissions.
There are 1000 stockholders i'm the
company and the majority Of them are
interested in the whereabouts of the
colonel, whose reputed mining conces-
sions In Mexico were the basis for the
organization of the company and the
sale of several million dollars worth
of the stock.
Colonel Greene, from the testimony
so far adduced. not only received SIS
100000 worth OF the stock, but large
part OF the cash, which Secretary r..
Al. Jones OF the company, says amount Z
ed to nearly $5.0OO,O0O.
The colonel was once head of the
Greene Consolidated Copper Co, which
operated gold mines and which event.
ualiy was taken over by the Colonel
Ryan party and allied with the Anal
gamated Copper interests. The colonel
left New York about a year ago to
look after his concessions in Mexico.

of Rev F. M. Bristol, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal church of Indian
apolis, addressed him an open letter in
answer to the question put to the
speaker, did the speaker prevent the
house from taking vote on the Little
field biIl?"
Cannon among other things said:
Il did not prevent the house from
considering the Littieneld Bill or vot-
ing upon It. and win add that I had
no power to prevent the house from
doing either, for as Littlefeld says in
his letter to me- dated Sept. 12. there
is no committee on rules and there Is
no speaker that can prevent a majority
of the house from taking up any meas
ure and acting upon it at any time. :"
Either Guessed or Lied.
Rev. Nicholson, over his own sigma
ture, published statement that the
Littlefield bill was fayoraby reported
to the house during the first session of

speaker promised Littlef1eld IL he
would let 1t rest on the calendar the

Aberdeen, S. d., Oct 30.-Unques-

projects which this part of the World
has seen in years has just been launch
ed with the recent incorporation of the
Dakota Southern Railway Co, arti-
cles of which have been filed at Pierre.
The capitalization is given as $780,

1t was learned today from most

without delay nat already three
crews are VIZ unning the pre-
liminary lines an, q. veying the en-

out of Haynes, N. d. e, the third is
working south of the Z Missouri,
headed north to the Ne y \ Pacific
road in Dunn county, MOI q. Nkota.
Will Construct Two Bran mes.
1t can be stated positively mat the
road will be built from Rapid City to
Williston, N. D., running through Ad-
ans, Hettinger, Stark, Dunn and Nc
Kenzie counties in North Dakota. Two
branch lines will be constructed from
the main line, one running from where
the main line will cross the Northern
Pacific, near Dickinson, northeast to
Bucholde, and another running south
east to Mcintosh, s. D., on the Mil
waukee road. There is some talk OF
the main line crossing at Dickinson.
If this is brought about 1t will give
that town six outlets by rail.
The new road has plenty of finan-
cial backing, not only by South Dakota
capitalists but by eastern monied men
as well, among whom tn Eugene Zim-
norman of Cincinnati, Former Sena-
tor w A. Clark of Montana and other
millionaires.
Develop Territory West of Missouri.
1t is a noticeable fact which has
often been commented upon that the
new and rapidly developing country
west OF the Missouri river in North and
South Dakota has not a single line or
railroad running north and south. 1t
is because OF the exceedingly fertile
country and it's unquestioned posi-
bilities that the attention and interest
OF. the big monied men of the east
We're secured. Inc operation OF tHe
new road will open up country that
has few rivals for natural resources
and 1t will mean the rapid settlement
there of vast army of homesteaders.
It Is understood that this road. as
now proposed, is only the beginning OF
an immense system which will ulti-
mately extend from northwestern Can
ada to the Gulf of Mexico. At present
the work Of surveying from Rapid
City to Williston, N. d., is being rush
ed, and as soon as possible. grading
will be done and steel laid.
