LAST SPIKE THAT MARKS
PERFECTION OF MIGHTY FEAT

A spike was driven in tie out in
Southeaster Nevada yesterday
which marked the perfection of
one of the most stupendous feats
of railroad construction accompli-
shed in recent years, says an ex-
change-the completion of the San
Pedro. Los Angels and Salt LAX e
railroads new thigh line"
through the Meadow Valley Wash.
In the worlds engineering and
construction history, Western
America occupies a place pre-
eminent. presenting the most
striking examples wherein skill
and perseverance have overcome
seemingly insurmountable obsta-
cles of nature. And The consruc-
ton of the Salt Lake Routes
high line occupies the same
relative position in respect to
western railroad construction as
does the latter to the remainder
of the world.
The possibilities of the line,
which yesterday became perfected,
were discovered years ago in the
romantic days of the west, when
Mormon settlers in Utah. drawn
by the lure of the unknown and
seeking an outlet to the Pacific
scaboard struck out from Salt
Lake City into The wilderness
toward the sea. There was but
one way to 60. That was down the
canyon since made famous by the
Salt Lake route--the way of the
Meadow Valley Wash, a ross Me-
vada where in someby-gone age a
kindly nature hewed a pass
through the giant mountains Of
the Sage Brush State.
The story of the efforts of the
Salt Lake route in building and
maintaining its line through this
old Mormon pass reads like
chapter from Medieval history.
1t might even he entitled "Thc
Cong. Of Science and Progress
Over the .Vandals of the Mount.
aims" For the past seven years
this fight has been waged con-
tiually between the science and
skill Of engineering and the I'M
reasoning mountain torrents
whose canyons was usurped first
by the MormOns and later by the
railroad which now so closely joins
the west and the middle west.
Fighting night and day, year in
and year out, showing no quarter
on either side, the war continued
with victory resting on the banner
of the railroad only after the
high line" was constructed at a
cost Of over five millions of dol.
lars. A victory, though costly,
we'll worth being proud of and an
assured victory because the new
line has withstood without trouble
the fierccst onslaught of the
waters.

RAY COILS RECOVERING
FROM HIS GUN WOUND

W. C. Coils came to Dickinson with
his son, Raymond, on Sunday night to
see a local physician.
It will be remembered that Ray Collis.
who is 10 years of age, met with a seri-
GUS accident on September %. He was
in the wagon shed at the Coils home
II miles south of Medora. He had a
coyote pelt to stretch and in mailing it
up Jared the rifle down which Earl. a
.14-year-old brother, had placed az ainst
the pillow. The discharged bullet entered
the left jaw. knocking out two of his
lower teeth and breaking the point of
one Of his upper teeth. The teeth
splin,ered the bullet and many frag-
ments of it, as we'll as of the teeth,
were embedded in the tongue and differ
ent parts of the mouth. The tongue
was cut almost half off. II.
1t wat about S O'Clock when the acct
dent happened and Mr.. Coils, who was
at Sentinel Butte in the afternoon, re-
turned an hour later. He found that
Ray wal too weak from bleeding to
stand.a trip into Medora and immedi-
ately sent for q Dickinson physician.
who arrived on Sunday. The boy was
taken here in the evening and his
wounds dressed. 1t was Tuesday when
he returned home and he had not been
treated further until this week. Ray. is
getting along we'll and does not expect
to sustain any permanent injury from
the accident other than the loss of his
teeth.
1t was a very fortunate accident. II
the bullet had entered just a little back
of where it did. the juRulsr vein would
have been severed and had not the force
of the bullet been spent on the teeth
there is no telling what part of the
head it would have lodged in. or what
the result would have been.
In speaking of the accident on Mon
day. Mr.. Coils said that he did MOI
consider that the boys were particularly
careless with the gun. They were get
ting ready to 60 out to look after theil
traps and set the gun down about a

Ten MILLION Bu. CORN

North Dakota is estimating that she
has grown this year ten million bushels
of corr as against about two millions
in recent years. And she is counting on
a doubling of the acreage next year
over this year. The corn from that
state now on exhibition in Minneapolis
speaks for itself. It is the equal of
the corr product in any state.
South Dakota has long been a corn
state, and corn is a life ave North

no FROST IN September
ABOUT - INCHES RAIN

There was no killing frost in Septem-
Der this year, the coolest record being
81 degrees. The real frost damage
came in August this season, and if the
weather remains mild for ten days or
two weeks quite a little more flax may
ripen.
Lowery weather in September caused
some damage to grain. The total pre-
c~ipitation for the month vas about 2K
inches, more than twice the normal
rainfall for the month. The total rain
fall for the year OF 1911 to date is
about IL inches, which is a very little
below normal.

RUSSELL CASE GOES TO
the SUPREME court

The action in the probate court in
Massachusetts a few days since was
anticipated and sends the Russell case
up to the supreme court sometime this
fall. The court will convene about the
2lst, but it is not known just when this
case will be reached. There were four
petitions in the famous Russell case.
namely: Identity. distribution Of e.
tate, construction of will. and asking
that present custodian of estate be com
PEELED to give bonds.
The identity petition was the only
one tried last year. Senator Simpson
was in his office at Dickinson the first

necessary to get the matter properly be-
fore the supreme court. Z.

September %. said:
All proceedings in probate court insti-
tuted by attorneys for the Dickinson, N.

missed Thursday and the controversy in
volving the identity of the Dickinson
man, which occupied the probate court
for six months last year, was sent &c
the supreme curt on exceptions.
Probate court proceedings Thursday
were brief, consisting of various motions
by State Senator [. A. Simpson. Of
North Dakota, representing the Dickin'
son claimant, all of which were over
ruled by the court. The effort to have
the appeal from the probate court triet
before the court will be the next step in
the famous case.
The North Dukota claimant calls him
self Daniel Blake Russell, son of thu
testator. although last spring a residen'
of Fresno. CAL, was recognized as tn
