NEW LINE TO THE PACIFIC


CHICAGO. ILL.,, March 2-The
latter part of the coming week, II
present arrangements are carried out,
the ceremony Of driving a golden
spike will take place a few miles from
Missoula, Montana, TO mark the COM
pletion Of the Pacific coast extension
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul
railroad. The new line is the latest
OF the transcontinen,al roads TO be
built and viii afford another through
route between Chicago and Seattle.
One hundred millions OF dollars is
the estimated cost OF the road.
The total length OF the extension
from the Missouri river to the coast
is l400 miles, and by the time it is
opened the total mileage Of the St.
Paul system will have reached 5000
miles. The construction Of the ex-
tension to the coast has occupied
only three years, which is something
of record for quick work in railroad
building.
The completion of the $l000,0O0
bridge across the Columbia River is
alone a great engineering undertake
ling. Altogether the construction OF
the road required the building Of
more than twenty miles Of perman'
ent bridges.
The new road crosses the Missouri
River about 100 miles due west OF
| Aberdeen, s. D., and then parallels
the State line through the Standing
Rock Indian reservation and swings
into North Dakato, touching several
towns on the Little Missouri River,
Thence it proceeds to Terry, Mont,
on the Yellowstone River following
this stream to Miles City, where large
division terminals are being built.
At Lombard the new line crosses
the Northern Pacific and then climbs
the great continental divide between
Piedmont on the eastern side Of the
Rockies and the city Of Butte on the
west. At an elevation Of $3.50 feet
the road pierces the mountains at the
head Of Pipestone pass. The sum
nit work includes two tunnels res
pectively 1903 and ll48 feet in length
and three steel trestles over ravines
from 100 to 100 feet deep and from
400 to 900 feet wide.
From Butte the road passes by way
Of the broad and fertile Deer Lodge
valley 10 Garrison and Missoula,
Mont, and at flanagan will begin the
long climb over the Bitter Root
mountain range. At the summit il
passes through the famous Taft tuD
mel Of 1851 feet, and after crossiT
the St, Paul pass at an elevatiogL
4l60 feet, passes through the faTa.

with capacity for 1000 passengers on

Does dirt mean drudgery to you?

Yes-if the only way you know to get
rid of dirt is by the hot water, ordinary
soap and elbow grease method
No-if you let Fels-Naptha dissolve
the dirt in cool or lukewarm water
without boiling, without hard-rubbing.
Fels-Naptha has done away with hard
work and boiling in washing clothes just as
other modern inventions have done away
with home spinning, tallow candles and
hand sewing.
Why don't YOU let Fels-Naptha do the
hard part of your washing?
The easy directions are printed on the
back OF the red and green wrapper.

CHINESE STUDENT SAYS Off
ClAL MUST BE REINSTATEO.

tempt to Go Backward Into
the Old Ways.

New York, Jan, 5.-Wellington Kooe,
prominent young Chinese student at
Columbia university. has returned to
New York from Washington where he
spent considerable time in the com.
pany of Tang Shao VI, special ambas-
sador from China to the United States.
Commenting on the dismissal of Yuan
Shi Kai, the great Chinese statesman.
as member of the grand council. Mr..
Kooe said:
Yuan Shi Kai will be reinstated or
there will be trouble. That is what
we all believe. The people of China
will not stand an attempt to go back
ward into old ways as modern meth
DDS of administration have been so
engrafted upon the conduct Of Chinese
governmental affairs by Yuan Shi Kai
and the very numerous and able men
affiliated with him that it would be
absurd, and in fact. impossible, to
change back to the old ways
LAS a matter of fact if the men
wnom Yuan Shi Kai has put in places
of power and who are known to be in
entire sympathy with him will stand
together the Pekin administration will
be completely powerless to oppose
them"
Joseph Singleton. thoroughly
Americanized Chinese. president OF the
New York branch of the Chinese En-
pire Reform association. does not share
with Wellington Kooe the high regard
for the deposed Celestial statesman.
nor does he lament the turn affairs
have taken.
"We do not accept this deposing Of
one Yuan Shi Kai as any evidence of
a turning against reform by the grand
council of China" he said. 'We be-
leye that while he was progressive he
was progressive because he thought
1t was the best thing for Yuan Shi Kai
and not because he thought it was the
best thing for China.
He occupied a most remarkable po-
sition and full of opportunities for an
INSCRIPTIONS man. He had the con-
fidence OF the foreigners. He had the
support of the great majority OF the
anti -Manohu Chinese. Had there been
my chance for a revolt against the
Manchu dynasty, who so well fitted
together strong elements in his sup
port In heading such a revolution as
Yuan Shi Kai?'
