A special to the Great Fails Tribune

A special to the Great Fails Tribune
from Minneapolis says: With it's ul-
innate plans secret, but with gem
eral belief i'm railroad circles that it
is heading for Spokane and the
Pacific coast, the 500 line in one of
the most important western railroad
moves in years, will lay it's rails
across the western boundary of North
Dakota early in 1918, and enter in
to the rapidly developing territory
of eastern Montana.
President Pennington has author
lied the statement that the Ambrose
line will go west across Divide
county, North Dakota, entering VAL
ley county, Montana, and there will
be about eighty-one miles of new
road. This would carry the 500 rails
about fifty miles into Montana, and
drop them in location just below
the Canadian boundary, from which
eventual work might push the line
west for Spokane, north across the
boundary or southwark into the Fort
Peck Indian reservation.
Mr.. Pennington also said that the
Plaza line is to be extended west to
the Missouri river. This, although
only about forty miles of new work,
will carry the road to within a short
distance of the Montana line, and
some distance south of where the
Ambrose extension will cross it,: and
eventually further extensions of the
Plaza line would bring it into Mon
tana, near Glendive, the most i'm
portant Northern Pacific point in
eastern Montana. 1t would also
carry it into the territory into which
the Puget Sound extension of the
Milwaukee road enters in its north
ward bend into Montana.
MIR. Pennington said he has no
statement to make as to eventual
plans, and that no construction work
other than the two extensions has
been authorized.
We will build eighty-one miles
upon the Ambrose line and extend

PREVENTIVE FOR
TYPHOID FEVER
Formula Adopted For Use In
Reclamation Camps

Through the courtesy of Project
Engineer Sanford we give below a
formula for publication of water as
adopted by tile Reclamation service
and passed upon by the Surgeon
General of the Public Health Ser
vice, Washington, D. c., who pro-
nounced it practicable, efficient and
safe:
A level teaspoonful Of chloride of
lime should be rubbed into a teacup
of water. This should be diluted
with three cupfuls of water, and a
teaspoonful of the whole quantity
should be added to each two-gallon
pail of drinking water. This will
give a or IS parts of free chlorine to
a million parts of water and will in
ten minutes destroy all typhoid and
colon bacilli or other dysentary-
producing organisms in the water.
Moreover, all traces of the chlorine
will rapidly disappear. This pre-
caution should not only be followed
throughout the coming winter, but
also during the next few years, as
the epidemic of typhoid which pre-
vailed this winter is certain to occur
again. The solution should be kept
in a stone jug, properly labeled and
ready for use.

The extension of the Crosb} J

is reported, will cross Valley county
and terminate at Plentywood, in the
heart of new producing district
practically free from competition.
The construction of one of the
largest bridges on the main line OF
Great Northern at Mondal<, near the
North Dakota line, is announced as
being under consideration. Previous
plans have been altered, and a
heavier structure will be built during
1918. This point is an important
connection with the Northern Pacific
extention from Mandan.

Northern Railway company, a piece
of railroad known as the Bainville

American property had been destroy
ed, and more than 140 Americans had
been killed; that the plight of Ameri-
cans was desperate and there appear
ed no hope of assistance from the
United States government. The dis
patch continues: .i
''The Americans signing the petit
ton asked the German emperor to
take into consideration their desper-
ate condition and to give instructions
TO his diplomatic representative here
that he should demand the same pro-
lection for Americans as is afforded
German subjects.
Ambassador Wilson heard of this
petition and sent for the person who
was circulating 1t. He tore it uI
and advised his countryman to rely
on the American government to pro
tect them"

Without the recognition OF the Unit
