The grade stakes of the surveyed rail-
road line will be reset and everything
will be placed in readiness for the con-
! tractors, who Will do the earth and rock
work grading and build the two bridges
along the rightofway from tie Santa Fe
main line to the damsite. The govern
ment engineers VIII also build the foun-

fore the contra actors begin work in or
der to allow the concrete to set before
the bridges are built.
To Build Road This Year.
The plans and specifications for the
railroad construction. work, which Is
now being advertised in Washington, do
not specify the time limit in which the
railroad construction work is to be fin
iShed but this clause is left blank in
the bid and the contractor will be per-
mitted to fix his own time for finish
ing, the time element to be factor in
awarding the contract. Engineer w.
NJ Reed, of the district reclamation
office, estimates that the work will be
done by Jan. 1 and the trains running
over it. He thinks that four months
should be time enough for the con-
tractors to complete the grading and
bridge building work and an additional
two months for the railroad company to
lay the ties and steel and get the roll
ing stock to running well over the rail-
road.
Line to Damsite.
The line TO the damsite will leave
the main line of the Santa Fe u miles
south Of Engle at a station. which for
lack of a better name has been deSig-
mated on the maps as The Junction
The distance from this point TO the
damsite, according TO the surveys is
1912 miles But such a 1012 miles, Up
hill and down, through rock walls and
over grades so feet down. These are
some of the obstacles the grading con-
tractors will have TO face when the
rightofway is tackled. One of the rock
cuts is eight miles from The Junction.
1t will be 40 feet through solid rock
and hard pan at that. There are three
Of these big cuts, having a total yard
age of $4,000 yards
The plans and specifications are
divided into three schedules, one for
the earth work on the east end Of the
line the second on the rock work on
the west end. including the three cuts
and as many fills, and the third is the
bridge work. The contractors are Civ
en- the privilege of bidding on either
the entire contract or on each schedule.
Taking in the Machinery.
As soon as the Santa Fe, which has
the contract for putting down the steel
and ties, has completed the line TO the
dam, the heavy machinery and mater
ials 10 De used in the construction of
the dam proper will be hauled over
the new road. A passenger coach will
be attached TO the freight trains TO
carry passengers from the main line TO
the damsite. The hauling of materials
will require until spring when work on
the excavations for the foundation OF
the big dam will begin as soon as next
springs floods are over.

"Of course it is not too late to rescind

Petersburg who will finance the loan
without delay. We need not delay the

DISORDERLY RIP SAW RIPS
OFF THUMBS OF TWO MEN

There is a rip saw in the new Schultz
building on San Francisco street that
hasn't a bit of shame. 1t is the rip
pingest rip saw of local rip saw history.
To begin with, this particular rip
saw bit F. T. Fuller when he was feed
ing boards into the machine last Mon
day. Fuller's good right hand was badly
lacerated, and his right thumb was
amputated. That should have salts

No later than Wednesday. the Schultz
building saw got another fit of finger

at the saw, and that workman today is

RACEHORSE MEETS
A PECULIAR DEATH
Falls Onto Post on Which It
Was Scratching Its
Back on Street.

Lady NickOtine, a. race horse known
TO Washington park track followers.
met violent death Wednesday after
noon in front of the Morgan building
on Mesa avenue. The accident was
unique.
In violation of Iadylike conduct, the
mare was scratching herself on an iron
post as she stood hitched to a buggy.
So violent were her contortions that
the hoofs slipped, and Lady Nickotine
fell upon the post. The iron rod
pierced the horses side, pinning the
animal to the pavement
Equine screams soon attracted a
crowd, and patrOlman Tillman shot the
animal with his revolver. 1t took more
than half an hour for workmen to- draw
out the post so that the body could be
removed from the street 1t was neceS-
sary to pull the post from the ground
and through the side of the animals

Lady NickOtine appeared for the last
time as a running horse on the Wash
ingtOn park track last season. She was
purchased some time ago by the Globe
Mills and shortly previous to the death
was hitched TO the post by W. c.
Winkler, Of that company.

1t goes without saying that the limo
cent rejoinder opened the way to an
acrid discussion of John Tullis. If
that gentleman's ears burned in re-
Spouse to the sarcastic comments of
the Duke of Perse and Baron Pultz,
they probably tingled pleasantly as the
result of the stout defense put up by
Halfont, Dangloss and others.
The dukes impassioned plea was Of
no avail. His confreres saw the wis
dom of keeping Russia's greedy hand
out Of the country's affairs-at least
for the present-and reiterated their
decision to seek the loans in England
and France The question, therefore,
would not be taken to parliament for
reconsideration. The duke sat down,
pale in defeat; his heart was more bit
ter than ever against the shrewd
American who had induced all these
men to see through his eyes.

CHAPTER II.


A NETTING OF THE CABINET.
At this time the principality OF
~ Graustark was in q most
prosperous condition. Its af-
fairs were under the control
OF an able ministry, headed by the
venerable Count Halfont- The Duke
Of Perse. for years resident Of st. Pc
tersburg and a fnancier of high stand
ing had returned to Edelweiss soon
after the distressing death Of the late
Princess YetiTe and her American hus-
band, and to him was intrusted the
treasury portfolio
The financing OF the great railroad
project by which EdeIweiss was to be
connected with the Siberian line In the
north fell 10 his lot at a time when no
one else could have saved the little
government from heavy losses or even
bankruptcy.
The opening Of this narrative finds
the ministry preparing TO float a new
100000 gavvo issue Of bonds for con
struction and equipment purposes.
Agents Of the government were ready
TO depart for London and Paris to take
up the matter with the great banking
houses. St Petersburg and Berlin were
not TO be given the opportunity to COB
bic up these extremely fine securities.
This seemingly extraordinary exclu-
sion Of Russian and German bidders
was the result Of vigorous objections
raised by an utter outsider, the Ameri-
can. John TuIlis. long time friend and
companion of Grenfall Lorry, consort
20 the late princess.
TuIlis was a strange man in many
particulars He was under forty years
Of age. but even at that rather imma-
tUre time Of life he had come to be
recognized as a shrewd. successful
financial power in his home city, New
York AT the very zenith Of his DOW
Pr he suddenly and with quixotic dis
regard for consequences gave up his
OVID business and came to Graustark
for residence. following a promise
made TO Grenfan LOFTY when the lat

Even FL PasOs zoo is growing. The
wild animal exhibition which the city
has provided for the people at Wash
ington park has outgrown its quarters
on the north side of the park grounds
and has been removed TO the south side
of the park lake and enlarged and re-
built.
An aviary has been built Of wire
netting for the captive birds and deer
park built of iron fencing eight feet
high where the municipal pets may
exercise and receive their friends
a water pipe has been laid from the
large main to supply the animals with
water and individual troughs installed
in each of the cages, in the aviary and
the deer park. A wire screen has also
been placed in front of the animal
cages to prevent the small boys from
annoying the animals.
Hydrants have been added at various
points about the park to accommodate
the people, also.

He forced the pace. The round closed
liz Nelson's favor.
In round Wolgast broke ground
before the 'tbattler." The fighting
was at furious pace. Nelson danced
to his corners with blood streaming
from his injured ear, though he had
a shade the best of the round.
At 10 was Nelson's round. Time
and again Wolgast landed but Nelson
never faltered.
Round II was a bad one for Mel
son and his face was a mass of blood
as he took his seat.
Round II Wolgast never let up
and again started blood flowing and
forcing on the fight. Nelson present
ed a sorry sight as he went to his
corner.
Round IS Wolgast literally cut the
"battler's" face to ribbons but still
the Dane came in for more. "The
worst beating the champion has ever
received" said old time ring follow
ers.
In rounds IA and Is both men
were fresher and both were tame
rounds Wolgast in the 10th sent
a tremendous drive through Nelson's
jaw and was fighting like machine.
In II Wolgast swung helaf dozen
right swings over the champions left
ear. They both chatted with each
other as the bell rang.
Round Is ended without any dam
age done. Wolgast deliberately but
ted the champion with his head and
was quickly remanded by the referee.
Both men came up fresh in the nine
teenth. No special feature.
Round 20 they both roughed it.
Wolgast planted his left on the jaw
with much force as the round ended.
Round 21 opened in Nelson's ia
vor. In the 22nd right swing sent
Wolgast to his launches and he
looked like a defeated man. 1t was
all Nelson's round and he looked like
a sure winner.
Round % Nelson went right after
his man. Wolgast was fresher in
the oath but Nelson ran him from one
end to the other.
