BELLE FoURCHE LINE OPENS
New Branch of Northwestern Passes
Through Rich Irrigated
Country.

The Northwestern announces the opening
of its new Belle Fourche line, which has
recently been constructed. The new branch
of the main system extends from Belle
Fourche eastward and passes directly
through the center of the newly irrigated
district. Fruitdale and Nisland, two new
towns, have JUS been opened and line is
running from Belle Fourche to Nisland,
connecting at Belle Fourche with the main
line of the Northwestern to Omaha and
eastern points.
The newly constructed railroad runs
through a beautiful valley located just
north of Deadwood in the Black Hills dis
trict, South Dakota. The government is
putting thrc sgh the Irrigation project and
has the Job nearly completed. The char
acter of the soil is fertile, being composed
partly of clay and partly OF sandy loan.
The lands are free from rocks and gravel
and are flat and rolling.
The Belle Fourche river and its tribu-
taries supply the water for irrigation and
this supply is being stored in a reservoir
formed by the construction OF an earthen
dam more than a mile In length and one OF
the largest structures OF its kind ever at
tempted The irrigation is done strictly
by gravity. no pumping being necessary.

NEW STYLE ENVELOPES MADE
Government Changes DesiEn for
Third-ClRss Matter Because of
Mistakes Made.

Envelopes for third class matter which
open on the side are tabooed by the post
office authorities. The department has ar
ranged the new envelope to open on the
end instead of the side, as originally de-
signed This step Is made to prevent mis-
takes in handling mail. The department s
attention has been called to many instances
in which the circular envelopes which open
on the side are used, other mail is mad
vertently inclosed in the circulars and
epstles of Importance are thrown in the
waste basket AMI lost.
With the innovation OF an open-end
envelope the danger is eliminated. The
envelopes with flaps on the sides are not
sealed for third class matter and clerks in
sorting the mail are liable to slip first
class matter into circular envelopes.
A recent mistake of this kind was discov-
cred in Omaha when S. Arion Lewis of this
city opened a circular letter and found over
81 900 of creamery checks signed by a
Denver firm and payable to r. M.Holmes,
manager OF creamery in Colorado Mr..
Lewis took the checks to Postmaster
Thomas and explained how he came in
possession of them and they were restored
to the creamery company.
Although the Postoffice department car
only regulate the design Of envelopes for
this class CT mail as far as stamped en-
velopes are concerned. the public can elm.
mate the possibility of such mistakes by
getting open-end envelopes from its
printers.

FARMERS IN PULLMANS
R. R. MEN IN CATTLE CARS
Former object to hide in the old Ca
bOOse and Are Given
Pullman.

1t has come to the pass now where rail-
road men going to a picnic travel in box
cars and farmers taking their cattle to
town, purely on business, ride in Pull
mans.
Time was when railroad men who were
able to pay their fare, were never asked
to, but were supplied with the best &C
commodations at the disposal Of the rail-
roads.
That this is not the case now is q fact
that can be CLEANED from any of the sew
eral hundred railroaders that went to the
Missouri Pacific picnic at Louisville Satur-
day. 1t was reported that cars were short
and the train was made up of one Pullman,
one day coach and two common, ordinary
cattle cars. Most of the picnickers rode In
the cattle cars.
Meantime a train load of cattle trailing
a gorgeous Pullman car bearing the farm
ers who owned the cattle, puffed its way
toward Omaha from York, and pulled into
town just as the picnic train was leaving.
The farmer, sitting In his cushioned chair
at the wide beveled glass window with a
glass of lemonade on a taborette at his
side, looked out and waved a hello to the
picnickers.
"Say, Silas. shouted one of the cattle
car occupants. lend us your Pullman
awhile, will your"
Cant spare the time" shouted back the
farmer.

VIM. KRUG'S LAST ACT WAS
ONE FOR SWEET CHARITY
Signs Check for NewsbOys' Picnic
just as He starts on Fatal
Auto Ride.

The last act in the life of William Krug
before he started on what was to be a
fatal automobile ride, was an act of
charity. Immediately before leaving his
office he signed a check payable to Mogey
Bernstein in behalf of the newsboys' picnic.
The check was not large one, but was
for the amount asked of Mr.. Krug. He
had given to picnics Of past years and to
MANY other worthy objects, for the dead
brewer was a man OF large heart.

always in a quiet and unostentatious way
for while one of the biggest-hesrted men
in Omaha, he was also personally modest
