was not time to stop the train, and the
engine was bound TO run straight over
the little tot, but somehow thought
Minnie might just manage to snatch
her away. But she didn't move, sir,
only Just stood there waving TO me
smiling. ! could see that she was smil
ing, though II was nearly dark and
she was a hundred feet away from me.
And in the center OF the track stood
little Margaret, with her arms
stretched out to me.
"You know, sir, she's used to play
at signaling, and as l looked l saw
her stretch out her arms sidewise,
as though she wanted the train to
stop. That used to be the halt signal
in the old days when ! played with
her. Id be the engine, and I'd go
choolng up to her, and when she held
her arms out like that I'd have to pull
in. Then she'd let one fall. maybe,
and I could go past on that side.
"Well, all this was the work Of q
few moments, though I've taken time
enough to tell It to you. There stood
the little girl in the middle Of the line,
and before l could even begin to slow
down the engine had struck her and
gone-rlght through her! Ran through
her without tremor. And then real
lied that 1t hadn't been my child of
flesh and blood Id seen, but only a
wrath. And then thought my mag
nation had played fast and loose with
me, and cursed myself for fool, be-
cause when once a man loses grip OF
himself he's no use any more In the
cab of an engine.
"And OF course that would mean the
end of my job, and I didn't know what
would happen to Minnie.
Il was SO scared l set the brakes,
and the train slowed down. She's
come most to q stop before got con-
troll over myself again. l thought Of
Vice.PreSident James on board, and l
opened up again. But looked back
as we rounded the bend that leads to
the top of Geddes hill, and the line
was clear. perfectly clear. seemed
to have double vision that night; !
could see through the darkness in q
way I've never been able to explain.
And there wasn't anybody on the line.
II opened up, as was saying. But
we'd just got to the top of Geddes
hill, ready for the quick run down to
the old bridge. And suddenly q red
light sprang up and lit up the sky.
And in front Of me, at the bottom
Of the half.mile of grade l saw the
old bridge in flames.
Il pulled in then, as you can under
stand, and, though we'd started on the
steep descent | managed to get the
train to a standstill about dozen
yards this side. The Bridge was
burned clean through, and under us
was Rock Gorge, some seventy feet or
more. Then knew why Margaret had
come, and what she'd meant when she
put out her arms like that.
well, sir, Vice-President James
was naturally pleased, but what l
wanted to say was about Minnie. 1t
seemed that when she stood there smil-
ing to me she said she'd felt just as
though Margaret wasn't very far away
from her. And when I told her she
wasn't surprised, somehow. guess :
that's the way 1t is. We know the
truth, II we close our chattering minds
and open our hearts. But there's the
new bridge of steelwork. Amt she
q beauty?"

THE BATTLE. Of
THE TIRES

Horticultural ana Commercial Press eorvicol
It Is interesting TO watch the forces
of civilization battling for supremacy.
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire promises to
be the livoliest contest Of the Twen'
tleth Century.
The struggle 10 q silent one and
there arc no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions OF the con-
ilict but the results are more far.
reaching TO present and future gen.
erations than the war of Europe.
The rubber tire has been maneuver.
ing for point Of attack for several
years and has captured q few unim'
portant positions in traffic, but 1t has
now pitched q decisive battle with
its iron competitor by hurting a mil
lion "Jltneys" at the street railways
and the battle is raging from ocean
to ocean. Upon the result OF the
struggle depends the future OF the
rubber trio. II II Is compelled to re-
treat, its doom Is sealed, but II 1t wins
the battle it will revolutionlze the
transportation methods of this nation.
II tie rubber tire conquers the
street traffic lis next struggle is with
the railroads OF the country, and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face
of this earth Is on, for iron is the I'm.
disputed master in transportation, and
Is fortified behind billions OF dollars,
and millions of men.
Stephenson applied the steel tire
to an iron rail in 1914, but 1t was 1859
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point, which bound
the country together with bands Of
steel. 1t took the iron tire flfty-five
years to creep from ocean to ocean,
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind of the inventive
genius sped across the continent like
an arrow shot from the bow Of Ulys-
ses. The roadbed was already pre-
pared and therein lies the power Of
the rubber tire over that Of iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
But iron is stubborn metal and
1t has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the NORWOOD
Of defeat, and when rubber hurls its
full force against this monarch OF
the Mineral Kingdom, 1t may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recov.
cry.
The rubber tire first made its ap.
pearance on the bicycle, but 1t proved
q frivolous servant and was dismissed
for incompetency. Ii has always been
too much inclined to revel in luxury
to be taken seriously as a utility ma.
chine and its reputation is not one to
inspire confidence in heavy traffic
performance.
But to those who care to watt into
dreamland, it Is enchanting to note
that there will be n marvellous differ.
ence between rubber and an iron
age. The rubber tire will scatter the
cities throughout the valleys for with
transportation at every mans door,
why a city? 1t will traverse the con.
tinent with a net work of Macndam
highways as beautiful as the boule.
ward built by Napoleon. It will par
alyze the law making bodies of this
nation for how could the legislatures
run without the railroads to operate
on?

c Communication With Germany
Is Becoming More Difficult
WIRELESS INFLUENCED BY STATIC CONDITIONS ON THIS
SIDE OF ATLANTIC COAST -

The news agencies meantime have
been obliged TO depend upon London
for regular transmission of the daily
German war office statement.
With the cutting Of the German
owned Atlantic cable at the beginning
Of the war Germany had to fail back
upon her wireless plants to transmit
news and official or diplomatic mes
sages through channel not controll-
ed by herSenemies. For this the Say
vile station became the distributing
center, the wireless messages being
thence transmitted by neutral cable
or telegraph to all parts of the world.
In this way Germany has kept in
touch with her diplomatic representa-
tives in neutral countries and the Ger
man war Office statements have been
distributed .uncensored. ,1.'% =.
The intensity OF the static disturb
ances now occurring frequently in.
crease the wireless distance between
Sayville and Nauen to the equivalnt
OF two thousand miles, it is said, a
handicap which the Nauen station,
powerful as 1t is, cannot overcome.
Messages whach are made Ineligible
are the joint work of four receiving
operatirs, listening simultaneously
each getting what he can and placing
the fragments together. ,@s

of business. 1t is getting into motion.
Bismarck and vicinity is already
showing up we'll in this renewal acti-
witty. Preliminary operations are quite
noticeable Cleanup week was OBJ
served to a great extent, putting our
town and vicinity in the ranks OF the
cleanest CT them. Extensive repairs
have been and are being made. Far
mers are improving their equipment
from houses down. Grain and live
stock equipment, in general, are be-
ing put into such shape that the great
est possible profits can be made from
the years business.
One great reason for this activity in
building and improving is seen from
careful study of market conditions
which indicate that building material
and labor prices are rs low as they
probably will ever get and this one
fact alone is a good and sufficient rea-
son why building operations should
be very heavy this year. This is en-
tirely aside from the fact that to make
the most of this years operations, fa"-
mers particularly, need the very best
of equipment.
We look to see Bismarck and vicin.
ity grow this year in the way Of new
buildings, extensive repairs and I'M
provements as never before. .tga IT.,

THIS IS THE YEAR 70 BUILD.

Anyone who can, with accuracy,
prophesy the future very far in ad-
vance these days, must have very
keen foresight and wonderful vision.
World conditions are such that to see
clearly at the present time what is
going to happen in six months, or
even in month is impossible.
Therefore 1t is not with any idea Of
forecasting the future that we urge
our readers to do their building this
year, but rather from careful study

future holds progress for us. Ger

Northwood. June 24.-Judge Kelley
has just closed special term Of court
which was begun June l for the trial
Of the appeals from assessment in
Drainage District No. IL, Of Worth
county. There were seventeen APP
peals which were consolidated and
tried as one case.
The plaintiffs commenced their re-
| sistance to assessments before the
board of supervisors last fall and pro-
cured reduction OF the board OF about
So, 900. They were not satisfied with
this reduction and judgment in dis
trict court gives them about $4,000
more.
! It has been a case Of vital interest to
farmers. engineers and lawyers as 1t
involved important questions OF method
Of assessment. The engineers on the
board OF commissioners In making the
assessment adopted a method by which
the rate Of assessment increased con-
stantly from the lower end of the
main ditch to the upper end. so that
the assessment on the upper end of the
ditch was about nine times greater per
acre than at the lower end and in
making assessments for the tile lines
they increased in the same way toward
the upper end so the assessments on
the outlying lands served only by out
let with no tile or drainage OF any
kind were assessed much higher than
the lands farther down, we'll drained
by open ditch and tile.
Method Of Assessment Questioned.
The important question in the case
was the correctness of this method.
The contestants also claimed that the
assessments against the highways was
much too low and that lands served
by outlet only should be assessed less
than that served by tile in the amount
of the cost of extending the tile across
said lands. The contestants were sus-
tanned in ali of their contentious.
The engineers employed by the board
were Lyford and Curtis, of Northwood.
and Goodrich. of Humboldt. Those
employed by the contestants were
Forbes, of Northwood; Gardner Of
