The North Western line is installing
an oil storage tank at Hot Springs,
s. D., and soon coal will not be used
on the engines running in this section
of South Dakota. Engines to be used
on the stub between here and the
main line at Buffalo Gap have been
fitted up for the liquid fuel, and as
soon as few days workout is given
them in the Chadron yards they will
be put in service here. Superinten-
dent Costley, J. Leppla, Assistant SUI
perintendent, and Mr. Spencer Super
intendent of Bridges, completed an in

In addition to the saving it reduces
the danger of forest and prairie fires
A movement has been preached by
the Federation of Jewish Organiza-
tions of New York State to secure
from the United States Government
about 100000, with compound inter-
est from 1776, or about S160,000,000,
which, it is claimed, is due the heirs
of Haym Solomon, the Polish Jew
banker and patriot of New York and
Philadelphia, who during the Ameri-
can Revolution helped finance the
Federal cause The federation wants
Congress to pass an act creating the

It is stated to be the definite inten-
ton of President de la Barra to
recognize the success of the Madero
revolution and to have his own brief
tenure of power lead up to and pro-
gress toward the almost certain cleo
ton of General Francisco I. Madero,
Jr., at the election three months hence
so that on General Madero and the
revolution will rest the responsibility
for the policies inaugurated. 1t is the
| further intention that the administra-
lions of President de la Barra and
Madero shall form a sympathetic
whole Most men give to President

A large majority of the $4,000 spec
tators at the automobile races held
at the speedway, Indianapolis, on May
| 80, paid their money not to see a
contest between man and man, but
contest between man and death In
this contest one man was killed and
five injured Ray Harroun, driving a
Marmon car won the race, which
covered 500 miles. Milford, in Lo-
zier, was second, and Bruce-Brown, in
a Fiat, third. Harroun's time was
6:41:08. Although only one man was
killed, and he not close to the stands,
the spectators had their full share of
thrills. The game between man and
death was not as one-sided as the
final score might seem to indicate.
Death forced the fighting and often
came SO near to scoring that thou
sands of the scorers credited him with
the points he seemed sure to be about
| to make.
When the Governments fiscal year
ends, June 80, and the Bureau of I'm
migration starts to add up the totals
for the past twelve months it proba-
bly, will be found that the United
States imported about 10000 fewer
new citizens than it did in the pre-
ceding year. In other words, the num-
Der of immigrants who arrived in this
country in the last six months of
1910 and the first half of 1911 is not
likely to exceed 100000 The figures
for the prior year is 1,041,570.
