CHARLES MIX
CO.. FAVORS ROAD
New Electric Line OF Much Inn
Portance To People of
State

Wagner, March 4.-The people of
Charles Mix county are considerably
interested in the incorporation of a
railroad for which incorporation
papers yer recently filed for the
Sioux Falls & Western railway, ey-
tending from Sioux Falls to Wheeler,
in Charles Mix county, and it is the
wish of the people here that the pro-
moters of this railway may be able
TO carry out their plan of construct
ing a railroad across this country.
The Milwaukee railway have been
discriminating against the Sioux
Falls jobbers and merchants in favor
of Sioux City merchants in this ter
ritory, and it has got so that the
merchants have been compelled to
order a large amount of their goods
from Sioux City Houses owing to
the delay in getting goods ordered
from Sioux Falls.
The proposed line of road from
Sioux Falls to Wheeler would run
through one of the richest sections
of the state of South Dakota and
would no doubt be a paying enter
prise. If the incorporators of the
road can get to work anC construct
the line, they can easily obtain sub
Stsntial assistance from the people
of this county.

RIVER BREAKUP
EARLIEST KNOWN
Ice Goes Out OF Missouri At
Earliest Known Date

Bismarck, N. D.. March 14.-The
ice went out of the Missouri river at
this point today. this being the
earliest date of the opening of the
river in the memory of white men.
For a time after the river opened
the ice ran freely, but at about 8
O'Clock a gorge began to form and
in a few hours had caused thousands
of dollars worth of damage. The
steamer Expansion was ground be-
tween the shore and moving ice. and
is an an entire wreck.
The track at the west approach to
the only bridge the Northern Pacific
has across the Missouri river is under
five feet of water for a distance of
two miles. and there is no possibility
of trains moving in either direction
for at least twenty-four hours. If
the zee jam does not break inside of
twelve hours it is likely to weaken
the support to the bridge to an eX-
tent that will take a week or more
to repair.

The "PerfeCt'' Automobile
(FROM SCIENTIFIC AMERICANA

(FROM SCIENTIFIC AMERICANA
Convincing evidence that the auto
mobile of today is AS far perfected
as the materials of construction and
mechanical ingenuity will allow, is
afforded by the fact that the cars
shown in the two annual exhibitions
this year exhibit no novelties of a
radical character as compared with
the cars of the preceding year. In
deed, we're it not for the relatively
short life and high cost of the tires,
the automobile would surely be en-
titled to rank as the most perfect and
economical means of transportation
of the present day. At the same
time, the development of the car has
been along lines that are highly fav-
orable to the life of the tire: for both
the weight and the horsepower have
been greatly reduced. Moreover.
the average over is beginning to
understand that the exercise of dis.
erection in the use of the brake. in
avoiding rough places on the road
and in slowing down at curves, will
add from fifty to one hundred pei
cent to the life of the tires. The
predominance of the four-cylinder
motor indicate that this is to be the
prevailing type of the future.
