Phelps-Dodge company to build lines
OF its own. The Ell Paso Northwestern,
from ia Paso to Tecumcari and Daw-
son, was finished and the firm bought
1t outright, giving its check.
Once in the grasp of the railroad
bug, heads of the big company con-
cluded to build other lines, principally
one from Ell Paso west to Benson,
Ariz This road is known as the Ell
Paso & Southwestern and connects
with the Southern Pacific in Benson 1t
is this road that gives the Rock Island
its route to California.
In all the Phelps-Dodge interests
own 902 miles of road in New Mexico,
Arizona, Texas and Mexico. The en-
tire system is modern, rock ballasted
road bed and heavy steel rails. The
opinion prevails among local railroad
men that Phelps-Dodge have ambitions
to become railroad as well as copper
magnates and that their interest in
the Rock Island will cause them to
build an extension from Benson to Los
Angeles by way of San Diego.
Coast Points Common Object
The distance is about 500 miles and
would not be such big undertaking.
This is all that stands between the
Rock Island road and the Pacific coast.
AS the Hartman lines, Santa Fe,
Milwaukee & st. Paul and the Hill
roads, north, all reach the Pacific
coast, the latter territory must event
ually be a terminus of the Rock Island.
The cry now by railroad men is to the
coast and it is there that increase from
traffic originated; it Is now the big
game among railroads and the line
that only reaches two-thirds of the
distance will soon be handicapped.

ened and defer the matter for two
weeks, requesting dealers to file new
bids to be opened at special meeting

1als of these buildings, the books to
)e sent out in boxes, each containing
30 or 40 books for a room, to be issued

reading of the Declaration of Inde-

MISS IDA Won cLAUssEN.

New York, July 4.-Many are the
troubles of the president, but never
before in the history of American di-
plomacy has an president been
sued because a private individual re-
fused to find abroad the social recogni-
ton which she deemed to be her due.
Miss Ida Won CIaussen; elegantly

a complaint which she filed for 81, 00O,-
600 damages against former President
Roosevelt, Robert Bacon, ambassador
to France; Charles Graves, minister to
Sweden, and his wife, Alice Wright
Graves
In this complaint she states that this
coterie of alleged conspirators have
already thwarted her marriage to a
prince of Sweden and denied her an Of
ficial presentation at the court of the
late King Oscar of Sweden. It is ad-
dressed to the supreme court Of the
United States.
The complaint sets forth in detail
many of the incidents that have
brought Miss Won Claussen into public
notice in the past two years. In jan
uary, 1907, she alleges, she was Official
" snubbed by Minister Graves of
Stockholm, at the behest Of President
Roosevelt. Although the king had
sent her an invitation to attend court

Moorhead was distinctively en- fett
today and the measure of patriotism
for the celebration of the dav of days
was at it's pitch. 1t was generally con
coded that this observance of the
Fourth was the greatest and best in
the history of the city, and that is
saying a great deal for there have been
many great celebrations in the past
The weather was perfect, an ideal
July day without that uncomfortable
degree of torridness.
Every train arriving in the city this
morning delivered large crowds from
every point tributary to Moorhead and
to accommodate the crowds the local
from Staples had on several extra
coaches which were crowded. Lake
Park, Detroit, Hawley, Perham,
Wadena, Glyndon, Halstad, Perley,
Georgetown, and there were quite a
number from as far a distance as
White Earth reservation. From points
within driving distance there were
hundreds who came to town in bug
gies and automobiles.
The decorations of the city were
particularly attractive, flags, banners
and tri-colored bunting were used with
marked taste and notable profuseness
and there was a general wearing of
patriotic emblems by men, women and
children.
Music by three bands was a very
prominent feature and it was greatly
enjoyed by the people for it was con-
tinuous at different points of the
principal centers of the celebration.
The celebration was formally opened
by appropriate exercises which were
conducted on a large platform at the
of Fifth street and Front,
near the city hall park. Preceding the
formalities a concert programme was
given by the combined Lake Park and

rection of Conductors Bjorge and

BLOWS UP FORT
FROM AEROPLANE
sRookINs, IN WRIGHT MACHINE,
SHOWS PRACTIcABILITY OF
AERIAL WARFARE.

Aviation Grounds, Montreal, July A.
BY hurting deadly bombs from s
Wright aeroplane into an impromptr
fort, which was shattered by bits, Wal
ter Brookins of the Wright team, today
demonstrated as never before the
practicability of aeroplanes in warfare
The meeting added several Sthrt!Iers
the next being Count de Lesseps' sen
sational flight over the city, circIins
the city hall, flying over tall buildings
and negotiating thirty miles in forty
nine minutes and three-fifths seconds
The flying today started late and il
was after dark before the aviators
landed.
sBrookins, in a Wright bi-plane, as.
cended about p. m, carrying two
bombs. An imitation fort, of heavy
masonry construction, had been built
In far-away corner of the grounds.
AT height which would have made
him immune from rife fire, Brookins
flashed over the building, dropped both
his bombs and sailed away. His aim
was deadly accurate, both the missiles
striking the fort and completely de-
molishing 1t.
LdIeF IN the Ody bTOOhinS NDrOkG the
Canadian altitude record.
Count de Lesseps, who recently flew
across the English channel, flew for
the first time here in the big seven
cylinder Bleriot monoplane in which he
crossed the channel He made two sue
cessful flights, rising higher than he
had at any time in his smaller mono
plane. At 6:14 p. M, de Lesseps soar
ed away from the aviation field and
sped toward Montreal, flying at a great
height He passed completely over the
city, making daring evolutions above
the principal streets, returning at 1902
D. m. to the aviation field.
AS de Lesseps sprang from his seat
he was caught up by the Wrights, who
carried him on their shoulders into the
grandstand.
Brookins then raced against an auto
mobile, which he easily defeated, flying
through the air at the rate of fifty five
miles an hour.
