LAST Rail OF 81.
Paul EXTENSION LAID
Completion Of Sixth Transeon.
tinenta| Railroad.

Chicago, April 1T is announced
from the offices of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and ST. Paul railroad In this
city that without any ceremonies the
last rail on the Pacific coast extern
sion of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul railway, now known as the
Chicago, Milwaukee and Puget Sound
railway, had been laid at a point two
miles east of Missoula, Mont. There
was no celebration Of any kind and
the completion of the sixth transcon.
tinental railroad was simply part of
the days work
The length of the extension just
completed from the Missouri river to
Seattle and Tacoma Is a trifle over
1,400 miles. The completion OF the
new transcontinenta line creates a
worlds record for rapidity of railway
construction. The first shovelful Of
earth on the new line was turned
April 49, 1905. Since then 60,00O,000
cubic yards of material has been ex-
oayated, 100000 yards of tunnel
driven, twenty miles of bridges erect
ed and 100000 tons Of S5-peund rails
laid at total cost of $S5,0oOOOO.
The ballasting of the new transcon-
tinental line will be completed about
June 1, 1909, and regular freight and
local passenger service will be estal
lished thereafter

"McGARRy IS A GOOD FELLOW"

The people OF Cass Lake have
every reason to thank P. H. Nc
Garry of Walker for the fact that
the legislature has passed the bill
designating Cass Lake as the loca-
ton for the new sixth state normal
school. 1t is owing to McGarry's
good fellowship that the bill passed
the house last Friday, when the
Walker man was able, by strenuous
hustling, to get together the neces-
sary sixty votes.
The question as to whether Cass
Lake was the most advantageous
point at which to locate the school
did not enter into the consideration
of the majority of the sixty ahirma-
tive votes, for minute. They all
favored the bill because McGarry
had acted nicely towards them. and
because he had been good mixer"
A representative of the Pioneer
personally interviewed all but a few
of the sixty men who voted with
Cass Lake last Friday, and in every
instance the same reply was given:
McGarry is such good fellow; we
couldn't 20 back on Pat"
Not one to whom we spoke would
20 on record as affirming that Cass
Lake was the proper point to locate
the school; even McGarry himself
has said that Bemidji was a better
point, but that he had promised to
get the school for Cass Lake if posi-
BILE; and he did it.
AS to the respective merits of the
towns which have been interested
in this contest, Cass Lake was about
the weakest in the list, in so far as
De1ng deserving OF the plum.
The sixth state normal school has
been located at Cass Lake because
of political combinations of differ
ent interests in the enactment of
legislation of which P. H. McGarry
took advantage and was always on
the winning side, and also to the
latter gentleman's good fellowship,
which never waned since the legis-
lature convened.
However, there are few members
of the legislature who cannot look
one squarely in the eyes when talk.
ing about the Cass Lake vote; their
consciences bother them, and their
real reasons for voting aye will never
be explained if they can help it.

Be Executed,

Mexico City, April General Gus.
fave A. Mas, who has record in the
Mexican army as an Indian fighter,

Ing former Lieutenant David Olivarez,

Wronged. The trial and sentence OF
General Mas created sensation, az

must pay $50 month to each Of the
two children of the man he murdered

funeral expenses of his victim. These
sums will come out of General Mas
