Now it is reported that Colonel
Thatcher has decided to cut out
Sioux City and run his highway
through LeMars, Iowa. Oh well,
it's nice to have good highways for
local patronage, but for long dist
ance travel a road that lodges the
big trading centers would be some
thing Of a joke.

VIM. Van Osdel, of Yankton, h as
just made a homestead filing
on $50 acres of land along the
river Dbottom below Yankton
When the original survey was
made fifty years ago there was
only AZ acres in the piece and it
was never taken. Since that time
the river has added to it until now
there are $50 acres. The chances
are that the Missouri river will
contest his claim in a short time
and win.

RIDDEN MAKES H|S
 POSITION CLEAR
Says Senators Were Anxious to Get Railroad for Aiaska-Feared
 Anti-sovernment congressmen

Senator Henry Roden, discussing with a reporter for the Juneau Dis patch, the immediate occasion for sending the letter to Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane, concerning the Alaska railroad bill, which has aroused SO much discussion, said:
 The Legislature. early in Its pro ceedings, endorsed the report of the Alaska road commission, which rec commended the construction of a government railroad in Alaska. The resolution and memorial endorsing the report went through unanimous fly. Later word came from Washing ton that opponents of government ownership had represented the ac- tion of the Legislature as having been inspired by advocates of the princi- pie of government ownership of rail roads.
 About that time. word was re ceived that if the government would sign an agreement to give the Alaska Northern railroad a contract to haul coal from the Matanuska coal fields to the coast at rate that the former Secretary of the Interior had agreed upon as fair that it had the money necessary and would build railroad from the coast to Fairbanks.
 Ut was said even at that early date that d large number, probably d majority, of the members of con gress were opposed to government ownership of railroads. That such was the fact was subsequently, brought out in the debates over the Alaska bill, where one senator and representative after another declared against the principle of government ownership The friends of the Alas ka railroad bill throughout the de bates laid great stress upon the con tention that the government owner ship principle was involved in the Al aska question. because here the gov ernment would build road not pri- marily for the purpose of getting into the railroad business but for the pur- pose of developing territory where most of the resources belonged to the government.
 "Our first interest was to get railroad If the oppos tion to govern ment ownership should prove too strong in Washington we were willing that the administration should make any other plans that were satisfac- tory to it.
 We understand, of course, if railroad were built by private par ties, with the consent of the govern of the Interstate Commerce Commis- of the Interstate Commerce Commis~ sion. Under those circumstances, the 11an of the Alaska Northern was satisfactory to us if it should meet the approval of the government. We regarded transportation to be the key to the situation,' and would be content with any reasonable program

that the federal government would adopt, We believed that we repre- sented the situation as 1t existed when we said that the people of Al aska, in our opinion. were not in fav-- or of the principle of government ownership" but would accept that or any other satisfactory program to get railroad. The railroad what we wanted. We had no theories which we desired to have yindicated-"

TOXIC, Feb. 1.-The conditions of growing more and more manifest daily and the government is beginning to take serious view of the situation. The military ambition of the people which led to the brilliant campaigns agaisnt China and Russia is beginning to OOz away now that they are pay ing for the maintainance of the army and navy and are also feeling the loss of so many men whose places have not been filled in the industrial world.
 It is becoming evident that in her world policy of expansion the empire erlcan slang has bitten off more than she could chew"
 The burden of taxation is becoming; '; heavier and heavier for the support of the army and navy and commerce is not keeping pace with the enormous expenditures required.
 The government, even now is hard pressed to pay the soldiers with the colors and nothing but foreign war would rouse the people to the heighth of military sacrifice made during the struggle with Russia. It is doubted by some if even this would arouse the enthusiasm of the people unless an actual invasion of Japan were immi- nent.
 It is believed that the dispatching of an army corps to China was noth- ing more than an attempt on the part oc the ministry to arouse the peoples enthusiasm for the military. but it fell very fiat and there was more grumb- ling and faultfinding than banzais when the troops were ordered away
 It is predicted that the time of the inevitable slump has come in the life

 NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Twenty years ago Miss Beatrice Farnsworth was engaged to young Billy Edwards, al that time one of the best known of the younger set of clubmen. Some thing went wrong with the finances of the elder Farnworth and to keep the family out of the poorhouse the beautiful young daughter. Beatrice married the count de Grampon, who contrary to the usual custom was rich and in a position to cover up the deals which had ruined Farnsworth and which might have put him in jail
 When the young womans engage ment was announced, or shortly be- fore. she had an interview with her fiance, Edwards. and told him how things stood. The young man was renniless and could not help out financially and while he cursed the ST crifice which was demanded of th" girl he could not but respect her for m; king 1t. Before he left the Earn worth home that last day he sworr that he would one day have more money than the combined fortunes of the count and old man Farnsworth rolled into one.
 Also he eXacted promise from the

AFTER TWENTY YEARS
 RECEIVES THE SUMMONS

prospective bride of the noblema that should she ever be .D dire trouble she must send for him on his part he swore that he would spend his life in making ready for the time when she should need him.
 All that was twenty years ago, or in 1894. The count and countess went to Paris to live and young Edwards went into an office in Wall street He played the market and he won stead fly from the first plunge and his small beginning soon ran up into the hun dreds of thousands and finally into the millions.
 Years passed and the message from Paris did not come. Edwards heard Of the countes occasionally but he never saw her. However, he lived straight, kept himself in condition and went right ahead making money
 And last month the message came Nearly twenty years had passed when the club servant brought a cablegram {" the slightly gray haired man read ing the paper under the lamp.
 Edwards took one look at the mes sage It was dated Paris and it sim ply said come"
 The next morning the man was on his way across the ocean.

That much of the story was com ron property around cluhdom here thrce weeks ago. The rest of it was told by friend uf Edwards who ar rived few days ago from Paris
 The American millionaire arrived in the French capital exactly one week after he had received the messag :. He found that the count had gamhled away his fortune and that the coun tess and her two children were prac- tically penniless and alone for tn" count had disappeared with the last of his wife's 1ewelry
 Edwards was very busy for a few days with the prefect of police and several detective agencies The result was that he was in a position at the end of that time to prove that the count had lost his last cent at Monte Carlo and had then blown ont his hlains in one of the cheap lodging houses in Nice.
 Edwards is now on his way back t. the states and it is rumored that next spring there is to be a quiet wedding on the continent and the many friends who have known of Billy Ed wards devotion to his first lov" wish him all of the happiness in the wurl |
