IF Colonel Astor and Miss Force should

If the lady gets no results from

CONSTRUCTION WORK
begins AT EDGELY

EDGELY, Aug. 18.-H. H. Herring,
construction engineer in charge of the
ironing of the Midland Continental
railroad grade,\ has established his
headquarters at \Edgeley. Steel and
ties are on the ground and a large
gang of men are ~ work laying con-
struction tracks from the Milwaukee
and Northern Pacific lines where ma
terial cars may be sided. There is
every promise that trains will be run
ming between Edgeley and jamestown
before snow flies and that direct
route will be opened to Winnipeg
within a year. The general opinion
is that the new line is to form part
of the Milwaukee system.
A year ago a grade was built from
Edgeley to jamestown and extended
northeast through Courtenay and
Cooperstown, along a survey through
Aneta, Park River and Pembina to
Winnipeg.
After grading, no further moves to-
ward finishing the line were made
until few days ago when construc-
ton crews came to Edgeley and CON-
menced work upon switches from the
Milwaukee and Northern Pacific lines
which are to be used for the purpose
of side tracking cars of materials.
From jamestown reports come that
the same things have been done at
that place and that work has been
reopened upon the unfinished grade
to the northeast of that town.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-Presi-
dent Taft does not expect to settle
the Wiley case before adjournment of
the present session of congress. The
closing days of the session have
pointed out to him so many important
matters that the president has been
unable to take up the case in detail.
If adjournment comes within a few
days, papers in the Wiley case will be
taken to Beverly by the president. He
intends to read all the testimony Of
fered by the house committee which
Is investigating the department of az

1cism Of officials of the department
other than DR.. Wiley Is the belief here
today, although the president has
spent but little time in discussion Of
the whole affair.

and then be lost. As the craft drew
near the shore it was seen that those
handling it were not novices.
