of double track between Sacramento

across Yolo basin from being washed
out during flood periods, nine miles
of track were raised to a sufficient

4.260 feet of concrete seawall was

miles of levees. The total cost OF
this work was about 5000, 900, of
which 100000 was borne by the
railroad.

track have been laid. Over one
fourth of the projected Willamette
Pacific, which is to run from Marsh
field to Eugene, has also been fin
ished. The Southern Pacific now has
more than one-half the combined
mileage of all the steam and electric
railroads in California, and by far
the largest percentage in Oregon.
New depots were built at San
Francisco, Los Angeles, Coalinga;
Porterville and Suisun-Fairfield.
The year 1914 saw the completion
of the steel ferryboat Alameda and
the starting of it's sister ship, the
Canta Clara. The Alameda is the
largest and fastest ferry vessel on
San Francisco Bay, and one of the
largest Of It's kind anywhere. The
car ferry Contra Costa was completed
to run between Benicia and Port
Costa, where additional ferry slips
were built to accommodate it. The
Contra Costa is the largest car ferry
of its kind in the world. The Ala
media, Contra Costa and Santa Clara
represent an expenditure of half a
million dollars each.

fifty-one miles of additional double
track, forty-one miles OF this being
on the Sacramento division In the VI
clnitysof Blue Canyon, Gold Run and
Lawton. and eleven miles being on
the Salt Lake division west Of Rose
Creek. In addition TO this, new and
heavier rails were laid on 170 miles
OF existing main line double track at
a cost OF $500. 900. Replacement OF

Captains of the lake steamers re-
port snow flurries on Lake Superior
last week. The weather has been
cold and rainy for some time in the
northern country.
Fort Dodge, Iowa, reports a tenn
perature of AZ degrees last week and
farmers are fearing that the continu-
ed cold weather will injure the corn
to an extent that the first frost will
kill it.
Mrs. Margaret Turf, of Beloit, aged
IS, jumped into the waters of the
Rock river during a nervous attack
and nearly drowned. Some men who
saw her rush frantically to the river
rescued her in time.
The Mississippi river at Dubuque
registered a stage of 1912 feet last
week. being the highest stage re-
corded in August since 1883. Farm
ers in the lowlands are greatly in
fear of the rising waters.
A big barn belonging to Beidler
brothers of Zwingle, Iowa, near Du-
buque, was wrecked by cyclone last
week and the contents were scatter
ed all over the surrounding country.
The total damage amounted to ST.
900. Trees and fences were torn
down, and wagon was carried so
yards and buried in the earth.
Albert Koepp, farm hand living
near Monroe, had the experience of
having a cow he wasm liking killed
by lightning and escaped himself
without a shock. The bolt passed
down through the steel stanchion to
which the COW was fastened. No
damage was done to the rest of the
stock in the barn.
Two Oconto county girls named
Dolly Powell and Sadie Bundy, are
running a seventy-six-acre farm and
making good at it. The farm is said
to be one of the finest in the county,
and the girls do all the work on the
farm such as blowing, dragging and
seeding, as well as the haying and
harvesting. They have at the pres
ent time four horses, six head of cat
tie and two hogs. The young women
are said to be good looking, muscu-
lar, and as brown as berries.
According to Richland county pa
pers the flood that followed the Sc
we're storm of two weeks ago, was ex-
tremely severe and did thousands of
dollars worth of damage. Hundreds
of tons of hay were swept away,
many farmers lost live stock and the
damage to bridges and culverts is in
estimable. At Bowens Mills the
dam was destroyed and the waters did
great damage. Between BOaz and
Sabin the loss to the crops is estim-
ated at $4,000. Fifteen bridges were
washed out in the town of Sylvan
alone. second storm visited the
the Mill Creek valley after the first
one had passed over but the loss was
small, as the first storm had done all
the damage possible to do.

Spirit OF WEST
IN BADGER TOWN.
EASTERN WRITER TELLS OF
RICHLAND CENTER.
New Industry Has Regenerated Rough
Village of 10 Years Ago, He Thinks,
But Still Misses Something
Desirable.

New York-"This a plastic people, a
people that can be led, a foOt-loOse
people. They are strong and conf
dent in their strength" So concludes
Walter A. Dyer, in an article in the
August Worlds Work, which de-
scribes Richland Center, as typical OF
the spirit of the middle west.
at is a prosperous and self-suffi-
cient city of the west, which has
grown up of it's own volition and de-
veloped its own character" he says
of this mid Wisconsin county seat of
5000 people.
He reviews the industry and civic
improvements of the city, the great
milk condensery, the three newspa-
pers and three banks, Carnegie libra
ry, magnificent high school, self-sup-
porting public auditorium with its
musical and educational work and
women's club rooms. Then he reviews
the history of the town, its develop
ments from a rough logging town ten
years ago, to a great dairying center.
Nobody claims that Richland Cen
ter's regeneration was the result of
a moral revival" he says. mo Moses
came to lead distraught people out
of the wilderness. The regeneration
was due simply to change in indus
trial conditions and to the fact that
the spirit of the middle west was
there with it's boots on, waiting for
whatever might turn up"
Prosperity has not made Richland
Center snobbish," he continues. 1T
Is still a "shirt-sleeve town." He says
he was told prohibition had wrought
the change, but had not time to inves-
tigate.
IF the man from Massachusetts
missed something in this that seemed
desirable to him." he concludes,
soft and sweet and solid
and good-he set it down as mat
ter of personal prejudice. "-Milwau-

The ancient and honorable graft of
till tapping was revived at GAINESVILLE
recently, when a smooth stranger
asked the price of box in the. store,
of S. d. Grub, of that city The, box
was located in the extreme rear OF
the store, and while Mr.. Grubb and
the stranger were examining it con-
.federate slipped in and removed the
money from the cash register. About
$50 was taken. It is thought to- be
the same gang that worket a similar
game at. Sheboygan. i
Rollin Sharpe. a farmer living near
Richland Center, had a peculiar ac-
cident that almost cost him his life.
While driving home his horse ran
away, and just as he mad the animal
under control, the buggy co1lided
with some obstruction which caused
him to lose his seat and also freed
the horse from the rig. Sharpe was
knocked unconscious by the. fall and,
with the lines wrapped about his
hands, was dragged about half a
mile before the horse slowed down.
The physician who examined Sharpe
found a dislocation of the spinal
l.column, but no scratch or injury OF
any other kind. The young man Will
recover.
