Well Planned Details.

To cross the divide and transport
material over the crest of the noun
tain, which is 1000 feet above the tun-
mel. the contractors have been COM
PEELED to deal with a number of ex-
traordinary conditions. Every stick of
timber which was used in the con-
struction of trestles and bridges on
the western slope of the Bitter Root
mountains had to be carried over the
peak, and for this purpose the con-
tractors We're compelled to establish
and maintain an electric cable way
which Is more than a mile long. This
cable way is constructed Of cable Of
one and a half inches in diameter on
which is suspended another cable of
smaller gauge The latter is connected
with the power plant at Taft and is
arranged to run the larger cable An
elaborate arrangement of clutches and
chains is attached to the improvised
trolley, and upon these chains Is sus-
pended the freight necessary to carry
over the peak Of the hill The raise on
which the trolley operated is about
LOO feet. An material was unloaded
at Taft and hauled by wagons and
sleighs 10 what is known as the bot
tom terminus of the cable way, and
from this point the material was
handled by the cable line.

Power Plant.
The work of drilling in the ST Paul
pass tunnel was accomplished by pow
erful drills driven by electric power
generated in the big Taft plant. which
is located at the foot of the noun
tain. The tunnel is also thoroughly
lighted by electricity generated in the
same manner, The construction com
pany has established trolley line
from the big railroad camp, located
about half mile from the east por-
tai of the tunnel and by means of
this method of transportation the
refuse from the tunnel was moved, the
line being used as a means of pas
senger service to and from the work
The establishment of the electric
power plant has been of value to the
contractors and the railroad people in
more than one instance
When the idea of building a line over
the Bitter Root mountains was first
conceived the surveyors were con-
fronted with q problem which threat
ened to thWart their efforts. that of
passing over the Bitter Root divide
Even after the tunnel question was
solved the problem of getting the ma
tcrial over the mountains for con-
struction purposes on the west side OF
the divide was q facer. The noun
tains seemed almost insurmountable
and for only very short distance
were they accessible to horse power
The labor required to carry material
over the Bitter Root divide has been
of stupendous character and one re-
puring an amount of engineering skill
almost foreign to this western coun-
try.

Invited to White House.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Jan. 6-Supt
w. B. Sherrard, of the Children S
Home of this city, will be the guest
of President Roosevelt at a confer
ence at the white house at Washing
ton, to consider the needs Of de-
pendent children.
Mr. Sherrard returned Sunday
from Chicago, where he spent sew
eral days in the interests of the Ma
tional Children's Home Society. 1t
was while there that the invitation
came from President Roosevelt to
attend the conference of authorities
for the consideration of homeless
little ones.
Further information is to be pre-
scented at this conference, regarding
the social conditions in the various
states 1t was for the purpose oil
collecting data from the various
counties of South Dakota that Mr.
Sherrard returned here before going
to the capitol. He has written the
heads of various county institutions
to find the names of people now be-
ing cared for at public expense.

ENGLAND HAS MYSTERY
Young Woman Said to be Dead i.
Believed to be Living.

Young Woman Said to be Dead is
Believed to be Living.
London, Jan. THE disappear
ance of Miss Violet Good Charles
worth has given the English public
sensation equal to the Steinheil
case in Paris. Miss Charlesworth
was an attractive young woman, rs
years of age, and lived with her
parents at Bodera, st. Aspha,
Wales. 1t was reported that she was
killed while motoring with her sister
and chauffeur Saturday. The latter
allege that the motor collided with
the wall of the edge Of the cliff
overlooking the sea and that Miss
Charlesworth was thrown into the
sea. The family lack further de-
tails.
The woman's picturesque career
suggests that Madam Humbert said
she was the heiress Of Genral Cor
don and that her godfather left
her $4,000 to be paid on her 25th
hirthday, Jan. 18th, with interest,
amounting to $2,500,O00. She
'sually gave the name Of Miss Cor
Ion.
Miss Charlesworth visited Lon-
IN frequently and operated stock
exchange office. The story Of her
death is generally disbelieved.

The actual ordinance or secession
was passed at Neosho, and was en-
titled can act declaring the ties
heretofore existing between the
United States and the state of Mis-
souri, dissolved"
The bill was Immediately signed
by Gov. Jackson, while Prices can
non fired salute. Another bill was
passed notifying provisional govern
ments of Confederate States of this
action of the Missouri legislature.
After these proceedings the house
and senate adjourned to meet in
Cassville, October /, 1861.
The erroneous statement that the
secession ordinance was passed at
Cassville grows out Of the fact that
when the Confederate legislature did
meet at Cassville Senator Vest re-
wrote the ordinance of secession and
other proceedings took place in the
legislature here. The handful Of
members of the two houses who were
present at Cassville adopted several
acts relative to war measures, none
of which, however, were put INTO
actual effect.

,HLoRoFoRN1ED IN HIS WAGON.
l,ural Mail Carrier Has Unique
Experience Near Springfield.

Springfield, s. D., Jan. 8.-John
tones, carrier on rural free delivery
route No. 3, of this place, has gone
through an experience which Is very
unique, and which he does not wish
20 have repeated. A local druggist
mailed a bottle of chloroform to
customer on Jones' route, and some
how the bottle was broken, with the
result that the wagon was so filled
with the deadly fumes that he was
overcome by the drug and put to
sleep. The team, missing the con-
trolling hand of the driver, ran
away, upsetting the wagon and spill
ing its contents on the ground. This
probably saved the carriers lift, for
short time in the open air brought
him to consciousness. In gathering
up the scattered mail he found the
broken bottle, the first intimation he
had of what caused the trouble. He
succeeded in finding his team and
finished his route, with badly bat
tered wagon and feeling for time
that life was scarcely worth living,
as an after effect of the anesthetic.

dered dry
The assassination of Senator Car
mack, the editor of a local news
paper, by political enemy, has been
made an issue by the friends of
statewide prohibition. Carmack
was last year a candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination against
Governor Patterson. He ran on a
prohibition platform, but was de-
feated by narrow margin after a
heated campaign in which the liquor
traffic was the principal issue. He
did not allow his defeat at the polls
to end the campaign but kept the
prohibition question to the forefront
through editorials in the newspaper
of which he was the editor. 1t was
his devoted advocacy of the temper
ance cause, declare his friends, that
led to his tragic death in a duel on
the streets of Nashville. Now he
is being hailed as martyr to pro-
hibition, and a statewide law pro-
hibiting the manufacture and sale
of liquor is urged as the most fitting
monument to his memory.
Despite reverses they suffered in
the first conflicts with the liquor ele-
ment, the leaders of the temperance
army are confident that public opin-
ion will force the present legislature
to pass a prohibition law.
1t is alleged that the prohibition
bill will have more than the neces-
sary seventeen votes in the senate,
and that nearly two-thirds of the
members of the house are state
widers, or will eventually be brought
to that way Of thinking by the force
of public opinion.
The liquor dealers have not yet
given up hope that Tennessee will
be saved from the impending fate
of prohibition, and the battle be-
tween the "wets" and "drys" will be
fought to finish. Opponents of
prohibition assert that the attempt
to make the Carmack murder an is
sue is absurd, and that the assassin
alton of the former senator was due
to personal differences and had moth
ing to do with the liquor contro-
versy.
