LONG DISTANCE AUTO
TOURISTS IN CITY
Enroute From Madison, South Dakota,
to Galveston, via Meridian
Highway.

Mr.. H. NJ. Penn of Madison, South
Dakota, accompanied by his family,
four in number, arrived In this city
yesterday in their e. NJ. F. car. hav'
ing been two weeks on the road on
the Meridian Highway all the way
from Madison to Bryan. and they are
going to continue their journey to
Galveston after a two or three days
rest In this city.
They came from Calvert to Bryan
after the hard Sunday rain, and re-
port that they found the road fairly
good after they struck Brazos County.
The. fact that they have driven about
twelve hundred miles during the ex-
IRENE bad weather that has prevailed
over the country during the last two
weeks speaks encouragihgly for the
condition OF the Meridian Highway
that is now being improved from Win
nipeg to the Gulf by the Meridian
Highway Association. and they report
that the road is being improved in
nearly every county through which
they have travelled, and say that there
is no question but what this is going
to be the great highway between the
North and South for automobile tour
lists.

Steel Cars Save Lives

Forsyth, Oct. 9.-Speeding down
grade at a sixty-mile an hour clip, the
Milwaukee's steel, fast eastbound
train. the "Olympian," was ditched
this forenoon at the Ingomar hill,
about 40 miles west of Forsyth.
Although nearly every car went ov-
er the grade, no one was killed. A
fruit car, next to the engine, first
jumped the track, pulling the engine
and tender with it. The fruit car
was thrown acros the track, while
the mail, express, baggage, smoker,
day coach and tourist cars were
thrown down the embankment, but
not crushed. The pullman and the
diner also left the track, but did not
roll down the enbankment. The lives
Of many passengers were saved be-
cause of the cars being of steel con.
struction.
The steel coaches withstood a ter
rife strain and were not badly dam
aged, with the exception Of the trucks
which were torn from nearly every
car. The ties and rails for 1900 yards
were torn to splinters.

Captains Of Farm Industry

The following about Captains of
Farm Industry" is taken from the cur
rent issue of Farm and F~ireside."
"Most of the captains Of industry
have succeeded largely because of
their ability to handle men. They had
facilities for getting other people to
do their work and have profited by the
labor of those whom they employed.
1.-THE labor problem on the farm
will be solved not by a large pay roll,
but by a large amount Of good horse.
flesh and possibly an Investment in
power machines. The three and four
horse teams of the middle west anu
the huge tractor outfits of the dry
farming country have made farming
in those sections profitable in spite of
the shortage of human labor in the
problems of drought. The
sun has set for the day Of )ne-horse
for general farm use.
1.-THE price of a peck of oats or a

VENETIAN LACEMAKERS.
The Methods by Which Their Famous
Fabrics Are Produced.

Fabrics Are Produced.
The lace of Venice has been cele-
brated for many centuries. It was
made originally by nuns within the
walls Of converts for ecclesiastical
garments. Then, with the fall of the
Venetian republic. the converts were
closed and the lace industry ceased to
exist for an entire century. In 1870 the
Princess Margherita. afterward queen
Of Italy, took measures to revive it,
especially as a means Of providing en-
ployment for Venetian women. At
present there are several schools sub
sidized by the government in which the
art is taught.
The pupils are women of all ages.
Each sits on a low stool and holds a
plump square cushion in her lap. On
this cushion is pinned a strip of paper
marked with the pattern to be follow
ed, and into this pattern the nimble
fingered worker sticks glass headed
pins, about which she twists her
threads.
From twenty to fifty shuttles depend
from all sides of the cushion, and these
are thrown across and back with the
rapidity of a typist handling the keys
Of her machine.
The process is so simple that it looks
like play. but the lace produced repre-
sents thousands of dollars. The simple
laces grow rapidly under the dexterous
fingers of the women. but the exquisite
rose point and other similar sorts are
evolved much more slowly.-Harper's
Weekly.

Governor Refuses Extradition

Helena, Oct. 1O.-Governor Stewart
held a hearing today on the applica-
ton of the state of Ohio, through
Governor Cox, for the extradition of
Robert L. Brandt a resident of Round
up, wanted in the east on a charge
of abandonment and failure to sup
port his minor children.
The domestic troubles of the
Brandt family were aired. Mrs.
Brandt's story was to the effect that
her husband was a brute who had
made her endure the worst kind of
hardships while living on the home
stead near Roundup; his story was to
the effect that she went to work
against his wishes, represented her
self to be a single woman, remained
out late at night, and sat on the laps
of other men.
In April Of 1911 Mrs. Brandt desert
ed her husband, went back to Ohio,
and in January of this year obtained
a divorce, which was resisted by
Brandt.
Governor Stewart at the conclusion
of the hearing refused to grant the
application. Brandt agreed to pay
$25 a month for the support of his
minor children in Ohio, payments to
be made to the private secretary of
Governor Stewart, who will forward
them. He paid the first monthly pay.

THE PANAMA N

With the destruction Of the grea

tween the waters of the Atlantic ant

comes true. Christopher Columbus
straining his eyes over the PROV Of
the Santa Maria in the direction Of
the setting sun, sought and dreamed
Of a western route to India" It has
remained for those who followed him
not to discover" but to create one.

some time before the Panama canal

ting Dame Nature fill the big ditch
that man, as presented by American
energy and ingenuity, has dug for the
commerce of the world.
Somewhat more than a month ago
Colonel Goethals, whose executive
genius has done SO much to make the
great work a success pressed an cleo
trio button which exploded 1,40O tons
Of dynamite. At once there sprang
into the air, as though by volcanic
eruption, thousands of tons of earth
and rock which had composed the
barrier between the Pacific ocean and
the western sea level prism of the
canal. When the uproar had ceased
and almost before the echoes died
away the Pacific ocean, or, to be more
exact, Panama bay, extended inland
along a channel 500 feet wide and
forty feet deep, eight miles to the
Miraflores locks.
The similar approach to the Gatun
locks on the Atlantic side was opened
four months ago.. Since that time
only the great Culebra cut has sep.
arated the waters of the two oceans,
the Gamboa dixie being the only
barrier that blocked the completion
of the canal.
On Oct. 1 water was first let into
the Culebra cut from Gatun lake
through four twenty-four-inch pipes
under the Gamboa dixie. This rapidly
filled until reaching a depth of fifteen
feet it was deemed to be sufficient
of a cushion to withstand the thrush
of the waters after the destruction of
the dixie. To all intents and purpos-
es this date marked the completion
of the work begun by the French on
Jan. 20, 1882, when the FIRST labor Of
e%xcavating the cut section of the ca
nal was started.
Though the formal opening Of the
canal to the commerce of tie world
will not take place until Jan /, 1915,
it is expected that many vessels of
large draft will pass through it this
fall or at least before the end of
January, 1914.

MILLIONS FOR RECLAMATION

Secretary of Interior Franklin X.
Lane has returned to Washington to
say that the government could profit
ably spend 500. 0O0, 900 on reclama.
ton projects in the west and wait four
or five years for the first payments,
then scatter the installments over q
term of twenty years.
Quite different from the rather
sharp reply made by the secretary, to
the complaints from northern Mon.
tnana, and the almost threat which
he is said to have made, to stop recla-
nation work.
During the little controversy with
the secretary last summer, some of
the newspapers took the position that
the people of northern Montana were
hopeless knockers. had talked too
much, made the secretary tired of
their bowling and were about to be
punished for their complaining by
having reclamation work stopped in
Montana.
The people of northern Montana
were right.
There was something wrong.
Secretary Lane had not been in the
west for two weeks until he hit upon
the trouble.
The government delayed the work
and made settlers wait unnecessarily
long for water. The government de-
manded payments from the start and
the projects have to be paid for in
ten years under the existing laws, by
the farmers, who are struggling to
get a start.
Is 1t any wonder they complained?
In al interview given to The indie.
pendent when he was in Yellowstone
National Park, Secretary Lane said
there vas justice in the complaint;
that a man with less than 5 $1,000 could
not make it without facing bankrupt.
cy; that the government might we'll
lengthen the first few years.
After a trip covering the entire
western half of the United States, the
secretary returns to Washington to
state that his opinion of the trouble
was correct. He found the cause and
will recommend the remedy.
So the settlers of northern Montana
were not merely a bunch Of knock.

1t is their reclamation service and

indirectly. II they do not do the work

are accountable to the farmers under
the project. Director Newell could
never see this. Like many others he
was of the opinion that the govern
ment was paying for the reclamation
work without reference to who set
tied in the district, and if the settlers
complained or became too annoying,
the government might punish the set
tiers by ceasing work, dfverting a a
