who had done legll work for the

kee. They talked of bu'ldirg a rail
road over the Rocky moultGins AMI
beyond. The world had been laugh
ing at the project. Lincoln and
Dodge agreed that it was feasible.
The federal government shortly af-
terward decided to begin surveying
for the proposed line. Dodge jumped
at the chance of leadiTg 'he party.
Several trips were made as far as
the Rocky mountains searching for

HAROLD LOCKWOOD AT
THE MAJESTIC TODAY

Harold Lockwood, the handsome
leading man with the american" Com
pany, appears in Mutual Masterpic-
ture THE End of the Road" at the
Majestic today. Following is the story
in brief:
Wearied of the pleasures of social
life, young Harvard goes to the Caro-
lima mountains in search of rest and
quiet. Instead he finds excitement and
action a plenty. He stumbes upon
band of counterfeiters, unearthes a
nest of moonshiners and rescues a
beautiful girl from a dastardly lover,
whom he fights single-handed to a fin
ish. There is danger enough to daunt
the heart of Drawer man, but Har-
ward goes through to the end and wins
the reward he deserves.

Washington for conference on the
route. Dodge suggested Omaha as
the eastern terminus of the railway,
and it was at his suggestion that this
decision was made. Work had pro-
gressed but slowly, however, up to
1866, when Dodge took charge again.
By May 1867 he had 1900 men along
the river Platte, and he kept them
steadily moving westward. Within
three years the last spike was driven
In addition to his military service
and his engineering successes, Gen
eral Dodge remained up to late in
life an active and influential man. He
was elected to congress the first year
after the war, and it was said that
a promising political life was before
him, but he declined denomination,
in favor of the railway project. He
was later a delegate to the republ1-
can national conventions of 1868 and
1876. In 1898 he was chairman of
the presidents commission to inquire
into the management of the war with
Spain. He was for time command
er-in-chief of the military order of the
Loyal Legion and an officer of numer-
Gus patriotic organizations.

Pea Ridge won almost instant pro.
motion to the rank of brigadier gen.
eral. He lost one-fourth of his en-
tire command, but he saved the day
for the federal army. He again dis
tinguished himself in the decisive
battle of the Atlanta campaign, July
%, 1864, when he defeated General
Hoods desperate movement to the
rear of the Army of the Tennessee.
Later while standing in a trench
before Atlanta, General Dodge was
shot and severely wounded in the
head.
After the fall of Vicksburg he re
ceived appreciative recognition from
General Grant, being promoted to
major general and given command of
the Sixteenth Army Corps.
The hanging of "Sam" Davis, a
Confederate spy who was captured
in Tennessee, was one of the Incl
dents of General Dodge's career On
Davis were found complete plans of
the Notifications at Nashville, which,
evidently, he had received from some
federal officer high in authority.
General Dodge offered the young spy
his freedom if he would reveal the
name of his informant, but the ac-
cused man refused. Half a dozen
times before sending the man to the
aallows, General Dodge offered him
immunity. The spy went TO his death
with his lips closed. "He was the
bravest man that ever died." said
General Dodge.
When General Dodge retired in
1866, it was to go back to railroad
building. Once, in the meantime,

SIMPLICITY FEATURE
OF FRANKLIN AUTOS

Conditions bearing on the use of mo-
Tor cars today are so all important I'm
their influence on what the popular
type Of automobiles of the future will
be, that a distinct tendency among
users and manufacturers is being felt
toward simplicity in design and con-
struction as the solution OF the prob
lem Operating cost including depreci-
alton. is forcing attention in this di-
rection.
In speaking Of the developments al
ready made with respect to economy.
II. II. Franklin. president of the Frank
lin Automobile company, points to the
reasons back of the achievements Of the
Franklin car along this line: "A good
many Of these reasons are well known
TO the public. but the one coming in for
more consideration at present-sim-
plicity-is OF vastly more weight than
the average person imagines."
In 1906 a Franklin stock car ran 81
miles ON two gallons of gasoline in the
first official economy contest conducted
by the Automobile club Of America in
New York city. The result was looked
upon as mistake. or. it was said. the
gasoline had been incorrectly measured.
The next day the demonstration was
repeated under the supervision Of club
officials and the car made % miles on
two gallons Of gasoline.
THAT car was of the simplest de
sign and construction that could be
IhouGhl or even today Ny. Franklin
continues TT had n power plant with
four cylinders across the frame and a
long chain drive back to the rear axle.
1t was the simplicity of the car. the
Of friction. that had most
to do with the record.
In the opinion Of Mr.. Franklin. the
time has come when economy i'm the
operation Of motor cars is a strong
enough factor i'm the minds Of users TO
make simplicity most important point
