TWO OUTLETS FOR THE G. & n
Northwestern VIII Combine Construc.
ton and Track Announcements.


Portland, Ore. Jan. 27.@The Chi
cago & Northwestern Railroad COM
pany is to hurry to completion extern
sive construction work on a. road bed
affording two outlets in the Pacific
Coast, according to the Morning Ore
gonian. William A. Gardner, presi-
dent of the road, is in the Pacific
Northwest making arrangements for
construction work which will lead into
Oregon within the present year.
According to the Oregonian, the
Northwestern, through recent track
age arrangements, will use the North
ern Pacific companyS tracks from St
Paul, Mimi, to Alder, Mont From
Idaho, it will follow the Pittsburgh &
Gilmore road, which is owned by the
Chicago & Northwestern. At the point
east of Lewiston alluded to, the road
branches with the purpose of giving
it two outlets to the coast.
The Oregonian says that one of
these will be down the Colum bia river
via the Northern Pacific and Spokane,
Portland & Seattle roads to Portland
and the other by way of the new Har-
riman line, the Oregon & Eastern rail-
road, to Eugene, Ore, where over the
track of the Pacific Great Western
railroad it will terminate at Coos Bay.
The Oregonian also states that the
Idaho Northern, known as the Dewey
road, has gone into the control of the
Northwestern.
Tapping the rich Profile mining dis
trict is to be the principal object of the
Northwestern's short cut through Ida
no. Mineral bearing ore of almost in
estimable quantity recently has been
opened there.
Kuhn, Loeb & Co, the New York
bankers, are said to be interested in
this field, and intend building a line
paraIleIing the Dewey Western They
have obtained control of the Payette
Valley line, operating between Pay
etc and Emmett, and will build north
ward out of Emmett, in an effort to
tap the mines. Both concerns have
been active in the field for the last

TurOn, this county, committed suicide
by hanging. During the trial of the
libel case brought against w. B.
Ream, editor of the Turon Press, in

was introduced to show that Hoskin-
son and NJ. H Potter, a prominent
Turon banker, had insulted two Turon
women, one of them a sister-in- law
of Editor Roam.
This development in court and the
dragging of his name into the case
so worried Mr. Hoskinson that it is
believed to have been the cause of
his taking his life. Editor Ream
printed story in his paper in which
he charged Banker Potter with the z =
legged misconduct. The banker had
the editor arrested for criminal libel
and a jury in the district court this
week acquitted the editor.

Probably the most busy person in
Topeka during the recent cold snap
was Miss Sarah NJ Henry of 1915 Van

general manager for the Jackson
Walker Coal company at S07 Kansas
avenue She is the only woman man
ager of retail and wholesale coal
oHlce IN the state, if not in the United
| States. Miss Henry today is taking a
| breathing spell after the rush on ac-
count of the unusually severe weather
OF the last two weeks which called for
an extra supply of fuel. With the
thermometer far below the zero mark
MISS Henry brayed the freezing air.
She personally superintendent the IN
loading of the coal from the cars in
the yards at Railroad and Eighth
streets She also had charge of the
weighing and saw that the orders were
1IlIed as promptly as possible. The
company was nearly swamped, but the
lady manager not once did lose her
head or temper.

She is the daughter of Mrs A w

employed in the same office Miss
Henry graduated from the Topeka
high school in 1905, and following took
a course at the Dougherty Business
school. A little later she began work
ing for the Jackson Walker Coal com
pany as stenographer.
But she did not watch the clock too
much or feel at the puffs of her hair
too often Although she was young
ana human, her attention in business
hours at least was more occupied with
what was going on inside of the office
than what was going on in the avenue
outside. Her attention. interest and
aptitude for business gave her a pro-
motion and she was given charge of
the bookkeeping.
