MILWAUKEE, ROAD BUTTS IN
Magnitude of the Task of Completing
n Line TO the Pacific Northwest
In Little More Than
phree Years.

The extent to which novelty has worn
off the enterprise Of building a railroad to
the Pacific coast is shown In the meagre
interest excited by the construction and
completion of the Milwaukee roads Pacific
extension. II is the sixth OF the great
transcontinental lines within the United
States, and rivals in construction, engin-
eering skill. and energy any Of its prede-
cessors. a writer in Putnam's Magazine
tells many interesting facts about this
great enterprise. the magnitude OF the
task and It's cost. He says, In part:

Fourteen hundred miles Is some distance
about half again as far as from Chicago to
New York-and three years Is no great

ANNALS OF INFANT PHENoMS'
A Missouri Wonder RecalIs Like
Powers in Youth and
Age.

An Associated Press dispatch from a
little place in Missouri noted a prodigy, a
S-months-old child, that had already begun
to talk. Infant Phenomena OF this kind are
not as rare as many may suppose. They
have appeared through all the centuries.
The annals Of precocity present, perhaps,
no more remarkable instance than the
brief career of Christian Heinecker, born
at Lubbock February, 1721. At the age Of
10 months he could speak and repeat every
word which was said to him. When II
months old he knew by heart the greater
part of the history of the Bible, both OF
the Old and New testaments. In this
third year he could reply to most questions
on universal history. In the same year he
learned to speak Latin and French. In his
fourth year he employed himself in the
study Of religion and the history OF the
church. He was not only able to repeat
what be had read, but also TO reason upon
1t and express his own judgment.
The king of Denmark. wishing to see this
wonderful child, he was taken to Copen-
hagen. There. examined before the court,
he was proclaimed TO be a wonder. On his
return home he learned TO write. but his
constitution being weak, he shortly after
fell i'll and die on June q, 1725.
A dissertation was published at Lubbock
soon after the death Of this child in which
IT was attempted TO account for his early
development OF intellect, or as perhaps
might better be said, Of memory.
In recent years a remarkable example OF
the development OF memory was given by
Hermann Linde, a German. at the old
Bates house in Indianapolis, TO which a
number Of newspaper men and other citi-
gems were invited. Linde was fresh from
Germany and was making a tour OF this
country. He was a young man who from
his infancy had been noted for a wonder

for a word. But he had overtaxed his
powers and soon after his return to Ger
many was sent TO a hospital for the insane.
When Bismarck was in power his atten-
ton was attracted TO a German Jew who
was endowed with a phenomenal memory.

especially the great corporations, were cut
ting down expenses. This last fact, 1t
should be said, had something to do with
the rapldity OF construction.
The start.
The road was begun April Is, 1906. 1t
was in operation from Mobridge, S. D., to
Butte. over half the distance to the coast
in September, 1908; the last rail was laid
March %, 1909. and the entire line will be
in operation about the time this is pub
lished.
But not for through passenger traffic,
II will be quite useless TO plan any through
trips for some time TO come. The road is
as perfectly constructed at possible, but
every new road is rough. The ballasting
Is not completed. and the rosdbed must be
given time to settle. There is an innova-
ton in waiting until everything is in per
feet condition before putting on through
passenger trains, and the idea has much
to commend It from the company's point
Of view.
The man who rides on a new road, i'm.
mediately after completion usually ends by
remarking, with some heat. well, I'll b,
hanged If l ever ride on that roller coaster

there will be no haste in putting on thu

lar ways the corporation that was spend
ing this enormous sum reaped advantage,
So, having the money, the depression was
helpful rather than hurtful and contributed
much to the speed record made. Still 1t
made the record, which is the main thing.
To return TO the road itself, the reasons
for its building are naturally OF interest
and Importance. Railroads are not built
for sport there must be paying traffic.
There is much traffic in this northwest
country. But two roads-the Northern
Pacific and Great fundamentally run
through it to Puget sound; and when It
comes to the ocean trade reaching the
North Pacific coast, there is the Canadian
Pacific to be considered also. The new
line will be a scenic line, as its route
shows. II passes through four Indian
reservations. many beautiful and fertile
valleys, and has mountain scenery to
spare. But scenery does not attract
freight, and railroads profits do not lie in
passenger traffic alone. So wherein is
the excuse for the road
New Territory is Tapped.
Well, it passes through much new ter
ritory-new from a railroad point of view,
that is. 1t parallels the Northern Pa
cific for some distance, but the rest Of the
way II has a territory that is pretty much
its own and TO which settlers are already
flocking. BY way Of illustration: II be-
gan operation as far as Butte, Mont,
last September and in March of this year
It carried 500 cars Of immigrants movable
into that district.
Immigrants for the sake Of economy,
combine and charter entire cars when
moving their household goods-sometimes
two and sometimes three or more families
using a single car. 1t has been estimated
that the average Of these cars is two and
a half families, which would be about
1900 families for a single month. with

Another promise ~ new traffic lies in
the Indian reservations. These are the

The road has two advantages that are
worthy Of note; II shortens the railroad
distance between Chicago and Puget sound,
and It has easier grades. The latter point
Is OF the utmost importance in operation.

words, you cannot send over It q train

long run economy of operation beats econ

A heavy grade means short trains or
extra engines at the difficult p~oints-and
these mean additional expense. Some Of
the older roads had to spend much time

tracts the omnipresent fly, its appear
ance, as it crawls over the food on
the table, is unappetizing.
The health authorities of New York
City estimate that about One-half OF
the deaths from typhoid in the metrop-
oils annually are attributable to the
distribution Of the germs by flies But,
serious as the matter is, it is of vastly
less importance than the destruction
of human life, particularly that of the
young children, by the bowel COM
plants which tsese insects are chiefly
instrumental in spreading. 1t is reck
oned that deaths from these latter
maladies in New York would be re-
duced from 1000 To about 1000 a year
if proper precautions were taken to
prevent the breeding of flies.
Tire insects will breed in fermenting
vegetable or animal material Of almost
any kind. Garbage suits them first
rate. The maggots and chrysalids
have been found in great numbers in
rotten straw mattresses, among old
cotton garments and even in waste
paper that has been exposed to wet.
Now, so far as stables are concerned,
of the fly output lin cities, the hatch
ing of the insects can be absolutely
prevented by the simple device of put
ting all manure into a covered recep-
tacle and removing the contents once
a week. This receptacle should be a
water-tight bin or pit, provided with
a cover. so as to prevent the ingress
and egress of flies.
The additional methods demanded
are the following: Abolish all unsani-
tary outhouses. Allow no accumula
tions of filth of any kind. Compel peO
pie to put all their garbage in covered
cans and remove the contents at least
once a week. Compel owners of alb
attoirs to keep all refuse in covered
receptacles; and remove such waste
at least once a week.-From "Poisoner
Table Guest" in July Technical
World Magazine.

FILLING THE JAIL
BY INSTALLMENTS
The Strenuous Work of Constable
Murphy on Warm Day.

Constable James Murphy yesterday
began filling the Jail on the install
ment plan. He had been wandering
about in the vicinity of the dimicile
of Francisco Franco and found three
men fighting in the back yard. one
Of them was a gigantic Mexican by the
name of Alvarez. The officer mingled
with them and told them to consider
themselves under arrest They turned
upon the officer in concert and called
him names.
The officer was armed only with a
little 80 which is of no use for club
bling purposes and he therefore did not
use it but mixed with Alvarez and
knocked him down. The other two
men man into the house and the Off
Ger started off to Jail with Alvarez.
On his way he met two Mexicans
whom he knew and turned the pris-
the others and one said that he would
not be taken. The officer held the
little pistol under his nose but it had
no tcrrors for the evil doer who invited
him to shoot The officer put the gun
in his pocket and knocked this man
down and took him off.
II found another crowd and deputiz-
ed the posse to take the second man
to Jail He then went back to the
house and knocking the third down
landed him in the bastile in person. In
the course of the various encounters
the officers shirt was torn to tatters.
