SHORT LINE ENGINEER
VISITS DAWSON
Road Definitely Laid and Will Pass
Through Dawson on Way to

Dawson Sentinel: J. H. Thomas, chief
engineer of the Electric Short Line
Company of Minneapolis was in Dawson
Wednesday, making preliminary sur
vey Of the ground and deciding defin-
itely the course Of the road.
Although it was first the intention of
the engineer that the road should pass
a mile and a half north Of town the
company will probably yield to the wish
es Of the people of Dawson and run the
road into the city.
In fact, in an interview, Mr.. Thomas
declared that the road would cross the
river just north of the lower railroad
bridge, and run along the forty-line
south of the river, straight west to Wat
ertown.
The hill south of the water tank has
been chosen for depot ground.
Mr.. Thomas says that eighteen miles
of track will be finished this fall. Right
of way has been acquired a distance of
| thirty-six miles out Of Minneapolis.
Erie Luce, president of the road, COM
menced the project two and one-half
years ago. Realizing that other SUBJ
urban lines had failed for lack Of ter
mtnal facilities, he set about to acquire
them. The result is that he has ter
minals into the heart of Minneapolis
within three blocks of the West Hotel
This terminal property has been acquir-
ed at cost of 100000. Already grad
ing and laying Of track has been done to
the extent of $4,000. The Dan Patch
line, which has no terminal facilities,
and which has had to build it's station
outside of the city, will pay $4,000 per
| year rental for the use of the terminal.
! Among the stockholders of the road
are some of the leading business men of
Minneapolis, such as T. B. Walker,
George Dayton and w. H. Eustis.
Stocks in the new road will be sold,
and Mr.. Luce purposes to put up his ter
minal property as security.
| After forty or fifty miles Of railroad
have been built, the system will be bond
ed and enough money raised to finish it.
1t is estimated that it will cost $4,000
per mile to finish the road.

chafeur browns Auto After Machine
Runs Up Bill of So 900 REPAIRS.

San Francisco, Nov. 21.-Obeying the
orders of his employer, H. H. Hart of
Oakland. James Litz, a chauffeur, ran a
$4,000 automobile off from the rear of
ferry boat in San Francisco bay yes
terday. Hart decided to drown" the
offending automobile, after it had rolled
up repair bill amounting to $4,000.
Yesterday he called Litz into his l1br-
airy.
Take that car out and lose it," he
said.
II can't lose it," replied Litz ITS too
weak now. Somebody would find it and
bring it back again.
Then sink it in the middle of the
bay" said Hart.
For the first time in weeks the car
ran smoothly to the ferryboat. Litz
asked the mate to show him the deep
est spot in the harbor. When the boat
reached the designated place Litz
stealthily ran the car to the vessel ap-
ron. Then he pulled wide the throttle
and leaped to the deck. The automobile
splashed into the waters of the bay

JOHNSON MAY CANCEL FLYNN GO

Jack Curley and Jack Johnson got
tangled up yesterday in fine little ar
gument which may result in the call
ing off of the match between the cham
pion and Jim Flynn. Johnson is the
balky party to the dispute, which is all
over the Flynn-Palzer battle, booked
for a New York ring Feb. 10. Johnson
claims Curley is trying to put one
over on him" He says he had verbal
agreement with the fireman's manager
whereby neither he nor Flynn was to
fight before their July battle without
obtaining the consent of the other. He
is willing to let Flynn fight Palzer. but
thinks Jim is taking a chance with the
Iowa bearcat and wants a slice of the
money before he will agree to the
Gotham bout.
Curley and Flynn did make that ver-
bal agreement in the presence of the
writer, as Johnson alleges. But 1t was
just before the signing of the articles
in the Hotel Sherman a week ago last
Saturday. When the articles were
drawn up the agreement was omitted
therein, and the papers read that Meth
err man was to box after May / without
permission of the other. johnson

NEW RULES FOR BAGGAGE.
Full Value of Trunk May Now Be
Given and the Owner Will BE
Reimbursed if it is Lost.

A new set of baggage rules have
been sent out to the baggagemen of
the railroads in Iowa, which will go
into effect July 1st, and will be of in
terest to the travelling public. Many
new rules have been made and it was
at first decided that they would be
put into effect the first of the year,
but this has been changed.
One of the new rules pertains to
the size of the baggage and provides
for a system of excess baggage char
ges on the basis of the cubic feet
contained in a trunk.
The present rule states that bag
gage to the amount of $50 pounds
for each full fare ticket is carried
free and excess is charged for all
weight over that amount.
To make trunks used by the trav-
cling public more uniform in size,
and to discourage the use of trunks
now handled by the baggage men
and that vary in size from a small
steamer trunk to the large trunk
that will hardly go through bag
gage door, a new rule has been made
which states that all trunks over
forty-five inches in height, length or
breadth, be charged as excess bag
gage whether they weigh less than
the amount allowed for one person
or not.
This new rule affects all trunks
handled by the railway companies,
and is a hard blow to the theatre
companies whose trunks are as a
rule the largest that are handled by
baggagemen. In this same rule the
theatre companies are again hit by
the fact that all drop curtains and
scenery 10 be transported in the bag
gage cars of the railroads will be
limited TO a certain length, but will
not affect companies which have
their own cars. The length of the
curtains and scenery has been limit
ed to fifteen feet and baggagemen
have strict orders not to take any
measnsfrs over this limit.
Another important rule is one that
relates to excess charges on trunks
which exceed 800 in value. The
company now accepts a trunk and if
it is lost will allow 500 for the
value. Following the putting into
effect of the new rule, the travelling
public will be permitted to name the
value of the trunk and if that value
is more than 500, pay the excess
charges, and the company assumes
responsibility on the entire value.

Feared the Worst.

A certain local line of railroad
is widely noted for its execrable
roadbed. A new brakeman was max
ing his first run over the road at
night and was standing in the CEN
ter of the car, grimly clutching the
train struck a smooth place in the
track, and slid along without a
sound. Selling his lantern, the brake
man ran for the door. Jump fer
your lives" he shouted. She's off
the track"
