SURVEYING
BRIDGE SITE
MESSRS. PERKINS AND RODGERS
INTERVIEW JUDGE FORTO.
Former Says Bridge VIII Be Built
Here if Site is Secured at Reasan-
able Sum and Concessions Granted
By this City.

Albert T. Perkins, managing direc-
tor and c. B. Rodgers, vice president
and general manager of the st. L., B.
& NJ. Ry. and c. e. Burgess, resident
engineer for the railroad company,
were in consultation with Judge E. c.
Forto for several hours this morning
in regard to the location for the in
ternational bridge across the Rio
Grande at this point. Messrs. Per
kins and party were taken over the
proposed site in the vicinity of the
freight ferry, by Judge Forto, and a
careful investigation of the grounds
there made A survey of this locality
for the company was begun this
morning by Mr.. Burgess, which 1t will
require several days to complete.
While nothing can be learned from
Mr.. Perkins in regard to the exact
location. yet from reliable infOrma-
ton, 1t is safe to say that the report
in The Herald of a few days since
that the bridge will be built in the
immediate locality of the present
freight ferry is more than likely to be
correct.
Messrs. Perkins and Rodgers left
this morning for Sam Fordyce where
there will also be made survey for
bridge site. In conversation with
Herald reporter yesterday Mr.. Per-
kins said:
While l think, from every indi-
cation, that the bridge will be built
at Brownsville and | myself heartily
wish it at this point, yet, unless the
ground for site can be secured here
at reasonable sum and some neces-
sary franchises granted by the city
council, we shall be forced to locate
the bridge at some other point north
of here, possibly at Sam Fordyce.
However. | am in hopes that l can
complete all necessary arrangements
within the course of the next few
days for securing a site at Browns
VILE"
Mr. Perkins also stated that In the
event the bridge should be built.
sleepers will be run through direct
to Monterey from Houston, which
would greatly improve the passenger
facilities between Brownsville and
points in Mexico.

What is Coyotes Foreleg.

Spokane, Oct. 29.-Apple growers,
alfalfa ranchers, merchants and the
sportsmen in Yakima county are in
the thick of an argument to deter
mine which part of a coyotes foreleg
is its knee, and it is likely that a
state commission will be called upon
to make an official ruling. The ques-
ton was raised by J. S. Cooper, a
resident of the town of Alfalfa, who
holds that coyote has elbows and
not knees, while the county law pro-
vides that the right fore foot of a
coyote cut off at the knee entities

ton. Those opposed to this say that

FIRST FUNNELLESS
CRUISER

London, Oct 2S-The armored
cruiser interchangeable, which is Off
cially described as "the worlds larg-
est cruiser" was launched today at
Davenport, where her keel was laid
down only last February. The launch
ing was attended by the customary
ceremonies and was witnessed by a
large crowd of spectators.
The interchangeable is the first of the
type of funnelless cruisers built for
the British navy. In some respects
she is similar to the Invincible class
in that her armament and speed will
be the same, but there the similarity
practically ends. The Indefatigable
is $40 feet long, 80 feet beam and of
$4,000 tons displacement.
She will possess two tripod masts,
but apart from her gun turrets and
bridges, her upper deck will be per-
fectly clear. The most remarkable
innovation in her construction, and
the one which will enable her to be
built without tunnels, is the introduce
ton of internal combustion engines
as the propelling power. There is
some talk of 13.5-inch guns, but
there is no official confirmation of
any departure from the armament Of
the Invincible, which carries eight 49,
inch guns.

those not familiar with the manner
adopted by the churches and frater-
nal societies of Wenatchee to practice

of Wenatchee since it's organization.
During the winter of 10000 the
Masonic fraternity, recognizing the
need of some society or organization
to whom those in need of assistance
could go, make their wants known,
and receive the necessary assistance
without embarrassment to themselves
and their families, which invariably
accompanies request of this kind,
when made to the general public or
to an individual not directly inter-
ested or familiar with conditions aft

lar meeting of Riverside lodge, No.
112, F. & A. NJ, the lodge appointed
A. A. Piper to represent it and take
such steps as he might deem neces-
sary to bring them and representa-
tives of the various religious and fra
ternal organizations for the purpose
of forming one central organization
with the dispensing of true charity
as its main object
The first step in this direction was
taken when Mr.. Piper addressed
call to all the churches and societies
in the city of Wenatchee and on Sat-
urday evening, January 23rd, the fol-
lowing churches and societies were
represented at meeting held in the

MAIL TRAIN MAKES
RECORD RUN
G. N. CARRIES POSTAL NATTER
FROM ST. PAUL TO SEATTLE
WITHIN FORTY-FIVE HOURS
TO GET MORNING DELIVERY.

A record of As hours from st. Paul
to Seattle, distance of 1926 miles,
has been established by the new fast
mail train of the Great Northern. In
parts of North Dakota and eastern
Montana the train has exceeded the
rate of a mile minute and west of
Spokane it has established a new rec
ord of "a miles in 81 minutes.
Ever since the train was put on it
has beaten the time fixed by the
postoffice department of ATM hours
for the run. Invariably the New
York mail has been late in its ar
rival at st. Paul, but the fast train
On the Hill line has been reaching
Seattle from one to three or four
minutes ahead of time. Even on the
fast schedule that has been main
tanned on the west end, better than
an hour has been picked up by the
flyer between Spokane and Seattle.
New Eastbound Mail.
Beginning with the new passenger
train schedule on Sunday the Great
Northern will inaugurate a new east
bound fast mail, express and baggage
service This will be slower than the
westbound trains time, but is ex-
pected to beat all previous eastbound
records.
Since the Inauguration of the fast
mail service the number of cars car
ried in the train has been increased
from four to five, the mail car for
merly carried as far as Havre being
dropped. One car is dropped at Spo-
kane and another picked up for the
run to Seattle.
A freak situation in railroading
has developed from the fast mail
schedule. For two hours and fifteen
minutes each day there is but one
of the flyers on the road. The mail
train reaches Seattle at 5:45 a. m.
and a ne wtrain leaves St. Paul at s
o'clock each morning. During these
hours the only mail flyer on the run
is one midway between Seattle and
st. Paul.
Mail officials report that the train
is doing unusually good work in
picking up way station mail, catch
ing the bags on the fly without slack
ening speed.
Requirements Exceeded.
Despite the fact that the number
of cars on the train has been in
creased it is stated that the fast mail
is compelled to leave eastern mail in
st. Paul nearly every day because the
number of cars is not sufficient to
handle the business offering. How
ever, the Great Northern is exceed
ing the requirements of the govern
ment
From the results shown during the
first month of operation it is believed
by postal officials and the railroad
that the schedule specified in the
Great Northern's offer can be main
tanned without trouble except during
the winter months, when minor de-
lays are always expected on the
mountain division. However, the
railroad was awarded the contract
ahead of time to prepare for meeting
mountain troubles in the winter and
little loss of time is anticipated
