Building a Railroad Into
the Heart OF

2 PROPOSED ROUTES
Will Open Up Great Coal
Fields of the North

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Presi-
dent wilson's decision or the route
of the proposed government railway
through Alaska puts III motloh lhe
most extensive governmental poject
since the linkink of the east
and the Pacific coast by the trans
continental railway system. Like the
latter. the new project has the two
fold aim Of opening the way for pio-
neers and settlers in this new and al
most unknown region OF vast virgin
resources. and at the same time pro-
viding an outlet for these resources
TO reach the seaboard and the trade
routes to the Pacific states and the

WHEAT THAT TIRIvEs IN ALKAII
Discovers Grain That Grows in Bad
Soil

An interesting example Of over
coming unfavOrable environment
comes from Illinois. Under the di-
rectlOn Of Or. l.. H. Smith Of the Illi-
nCis agricultural experiment station,
Investigations were carried on that re-
suited In finding a kind of wheat that
would grow in alkaline soils II had
been supposed that wheat would not
grow on al1kline soils. and as people
who live upon alkaline soils arc quite
as fond of bread as those who do not,
II was distinctly inconvenient.
The experiments were made with an
ordinary variety Of wheat known as
Minnesota 1863. In the alkali the wheat
refused to grow, or sent up sickly

northern territory as soon as the pres
idents decision was made known.
Each of the proposed routes-one
known as the Cordova Fairbanks
route, the other as the Seward Fair
banks route-contemplated the pur-
chase Of an existing railway line. The
question lay ir selecting either Sew
ard on the west shore of Prince Will
liam sound, .or Cordova on the east
shore as the tidewater terminal of the
government system.
The two routes were OF approx
mately the same length and estimates
OF construction cost did not vary
widely The issue before the presi-
dent probably lay in the price at which
the existing lines could be obtained.
Neither route presented serious en-
gineering difficulties.
From Cordova, on the eastern shore
of Prince William sound, the Copper
River 4 Northwestern railroad, con-
trolled by j. =. Morgan & Co.. pro-
vides an outlet for copper mines at
Kennicott and reaches Chinta, 1872
miles distant, following the west bank
of the Copper river. Not far out the
Cordova road runs for miles parallel to
the coast line and crosses the Sheridan
glacier flats. Making its way across
network of smaller streams which
give the river an outlet to the sea. the
line finally turns northward and pass
ing between Miles and Childs glaciers.
follows the course OF the Copper
river all the way to Chinta, where il
turns east again to reach the copper
mines.
One Route.
II is from Chinta that the proposed
route to Fairbanks via Cordova con-
templates the building OF $40 miles
of new railroad. The line would con-
tlnue up the Copper until the river
swings to the west, then strike di-
rectly toward Evan lake without SER
ious grades to encounter. Beyond the
lake the route lies close to the shores

MAN AND WOMAN DEAD

dead for hours in the gas filled house.

aged couple, were found yesterday
afternoon in their home at 2311 I
street, South Omaha. Gas escaping
from a jet in the kitchen SO filled the
place that it was some minutes be-
fore officers and others could enter
the rooms. The affair was in all
probability an accident.
The bodies were discovered by Ray
Jones, soninlaw of the old couple.
Jones, in company with Virgil Stark
and Ralph Goodman, forced open a
window of the home and discovered
the man and his wife, cold in death.
According to the report of the Of

not very tight. 1t is the opinion of
the officers that one of the old cou-
pie in turning out the gas turned it

Man WHO WORKED HIS

Injury In Accident and Got

Omaha, Neb.. Sept. 15.-Frank Il.
Young, alias James Robinson. known
to street railway officials all over the
country as the man with the circuit
EXPORT, Ia. charged with defraudtng
the street railway company of that
city.
Young. alias Robinson, il known to
the street railway officials of the
Omaha system, for back in 1904 he
depleted their treasury to the extent
OF $125 He got that sum out of them
by using his Circuit shoulder"
Since then he has worked street rail-
way companies in Sioux City, St.
Paul. Minneapolis, Chicago, Cedar
Rapids and scores OF other places for
greater OF lesser sums. He had a
shoulder that he could dislocate at
will and then impersonate a man suf-
fering the most excruciating agonies
In the fall of 1904. in front Of
the Murray hotel on Fourteenth
street. South Omaha car bumped
into Young. He fell to the ground
and seemed to be suffering great pain.
In an ambulance he was taken to q
hospital, where the attending surgeon
found badly dislocated shoulder
The bones were slipped back into
place. and soon the claim agent APP
peared upon the scene. After some
persistent arguments Young accepted
damages. Street railway officials felt
that they We're getting out of big
damage suit cheaply and congratu-
lated the claim agent upon his work.
In the Davenport case. Young let
street car bump him and roll
him along the track. Then he
was carried to q hospital and
surgeon called. The surgeon made an
examination, pulled the dislocated
shoulder back in place, ordering quiet
and rest.
The next day when he called he
failed to find any swelling or inflam-
nation about the shoulder. He
thought this strange, but kept the
bandages on, ordering quiet treatment
for the patient. When he called the
next day there was no swelling, nor
was there any Inflammation. The
nurse who had charge of the case and
who had been told to carefully watch
the patient, gave the information that
in her judgment Young had not suf-
fered any pain.
After making Investigations which
disclosed Young's control over his
Circuit shoulder" the surgeon noti-
fled the street railway officials. A
couple Of them appeared upon the
scene and, after consultation with
the surgeon in private room, went
with him. taking a receipt in full, he

Young was taken to Jail, where at

pany was placed against him. Being
unable to give bail he was locked in

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
URGES "hoGGINGn CORN

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 15.-Unless Me-
braska has an unusually favorable
fall this year, there will be soft corn
in many localities when the first kill
ing frost comes. Such corn is hard to
keep in cribs and very difficult to
market. Bearing these facts in mind.
the animal husbandry department of
the college of agriculture says that Sc
rious consideration should be given the
"hogging down" of corn. BY this
method of feeding not only can the
labor involved in harvesting corn be
reduced to minimum, but more pork
can be produced from bushel of
corn
In answer to an inquiry sent out
by the Iowa agricultural experiment
station, 1853 farmers reported that by
"hogging down" corn they were able
to make saving of 6.89 cents a
bushel.
Pigs should not be put into the
corn field until the corn is dented. II
they are put in earlier the maximum
food value of the corn cannot be OBJ
tanned.
The exercise that pigs get from rum
ming in the ocrn field helps to enable
them to maintain health and to de-
velop rugged constitutions. BY rea-
son of added thrift, pigs fed by this
system can be subsequently finished
more rapidly for the market than pigs
fed in the dry lot.
