Man Stole q Locomotive.

"By George! l am going to that
dance at PaXton's somehow" an uni
Identified young man declared here the
other night when Informed there would
would be no trains going east for some
time, according to the Bozeman
(MOnt.) correspondent Of the Spokane
(Wash.) Spokesman-Review He
walked over to a lone locomotive, en-
tered the cab and started east, break
ing through a closed switch and going
out on the main line.
Engineer McVicker, in a locomotive,
was travelling toward this city when he
noticed that the block system regis
tered danger. He saw the smoke Of
an engine approaching and stopped his
own. His fireman jumped and Nc
Wicker reversed his engine. Fireman
Boehling caught the approaching en-
CINE, climbed into the cab, found 1t
"driverless" and brought it to a stop n
short distance from McVicker's en-
gine.
No trace of the locomotive thief has
been found. He evidently jumped when
he saw the other engine approaching.

Decorations for Women.

Foreign countries are most prodigal
OF feminine decorations. There are in
all some 20 foreign orders, and it is
said that Spain was the first country
to honor the gentler sex by including
them in orders of chivalry. The Lee
gion of Honor, which has been pinned
to not a few feminine breasts in the
present war, the Russian Order of st.
Catherine, and the Austrian Star Cross
are few of the greater orders which
can be accorded to women. In no
country does the decoration bestowed
on woman carry any title, as in the
case of a masculine knighthood, but
in several countries certain female
decorations bestow a sort of status
equivalent to rank in the army.

plunging his knife into the victims
body, he happened to see the judge at
the window, and the judge was looking
straight at him.
The grand master of the knights
now called upon the judge for an ex-
PLANTATION and Cambo quietly admitted
that the mans story was strictly true.
But he argued that he had only done
his duty; that it was quite proper to
send man to an ignominious death
rather than violate the sacred law as
he understood it. The judge was SEN
fenced to the forfeiture of his office
and to public degradation, and was or.
dered to turn over his worldly assets
to the family Of his victim. He lived
few years, stunned and hated as
much as he formerly was admired and
respected, and with the knowledge
that his name was kissing all over
the world.

EXTENDING LINES IN ALASKA
Degree of Development Not Generally
Recognized Has Been Steadily
Carried Forward.

Private enterprise is reinforcing
government enterprise in the develop
ment of Alaska transportation. An
nouncement was recently made of the
intention of the Copper River & North
western to extend it's CordOva line
farther into the interior. Now comes
the assurance that private enterprise
has financed the proposed immediate
construction of a railroad from near
Controller bay to the Boring river coal
fields, II miles away.
Thus coal of high quality is to be
brought to tidewater by October next
and shipped to Alaska points as well
as Seattle and points farther south.
Possibly about the same time Mata-
nuska coal will reach Seward and
Anchorage and be distributed from
these points for naval and commercial
needs.
The humanizing of Alaska admins
tration and the partial opening of the
territory to commercial enterprise
have had a stimulating effect. Long
dormant coal claims are taking on the
| form of business ventures. Railroad
construction is to bring these in touch
with the market, cheaper fuel and
make greater gold production possible.
The worlds demand for copper has
further accentuated Alaska's progress
by forcing the railroad line from Sc
ward to extend into the wilderness be-
yond the present terminus.
The utilities for commerce are be-
ing vastly increased Coal will soon
be reaching Central Alaska from the
Nenana fields, and the south coast will
be supplied from the Boring and Mata-
nuska fields, vitalizing every industry
that it touches. In another year the
northern wilderness will be split in
twain by the arteries of commerce.

Peruvian River of Horror.

There is a river of mystery and
horror in Peru, and the legends of
rich rubber regions and untold wealth
in gold are accompanied by tales of
those who went up it never to return.
Casimer Watkins, naturalist, recent
ly returned from South America, tells
of the stream.
"This river" he said, sis the Colo
RADIO river, the richest river in Peru.
Great groves of rubber trees lie along
its course. and gold has been found
in 1t. But the Mascos. tribe of can
nibals. infest it. They still practice
cannibalism, and will kill man on
sight. Expeditions have been fitted
out and been heavily armed to go ex"
ploring for rubber and gold. but none
of them has ever returned. The saw
ages have killed the men and eaten
them and turned the canoes adrift.
They have come down the river
empty. bottoms up. or filled with SUPP
plies which the savages did not care to
remove"

Railroads Use More Oil.

There was marked increase in the
use of petroleum as locomotive fuel by
the railroads of the country during the
past year. According to data prepared
by the United States geological survey
the oil fuel consumed as locomotive
fuel last year amounted to 13G,64S, 466
barrels, an increase of $685. 200 bar
rels, or IS per cent over the similar
consumption in 1914. This increase is
ascribed to the relatively low prices
prevailing for fuel grades of oil during
the last year and n half as a result OF
the increased production of low-grade
crude in the Gulf Coast states and in
Mexico and of the augmented output
Of suitable residuals from refneries
operating in ever-increaslng number
in Oklahoma and Kansas.

ON A VISIT OF INSPECTION
British Railroad Authority in This
Country Looking Over the Lead
ing American Systems.

W. M. ACworth, the distinguished
British railroad authority, is visiting
the United States and inspecting sew
eral of the railroad systems of the
East. He is keenly interested in the
wage controversy between the rail-
roads and the train service employees,
which he AYERS is similar in its gen
eral aspects to that which led up to
the great British railroad strike of
1911.
Mr.. Acworth is a director of the
underground railroads of London and
has written a number of books on rail-
road development and regulation. He
is no stranger to the United States,
having made many trips to this side
of the Atlantic, and having been for
many years in touch with the railroad
situation here. He is a close personal
friend of leading railroad officials Of
the country.
THE war has made heavy drafts
upon the railroad workers of Great
Britain" said Mr.. Acworth in an inter
view at New York. "Probably 90 per
cent of the railroad operatives are in
active service. From the London I'M
derground system, which employed
about $4,000 men at the outbreak of
the war, some 5000 have enlisted. On
all the lines somewhat similar condi-
| tons exist.
"The places Of those who have vol
unteered have been filled to some eX-
tent by keeping older men in service
instead of retiring them. On the Lon,
| don buses 500 women are employed as
| conductors. On all the lines forces
have been reduced by cutting off a
large proportion of the passenger
! trains.

with certain shade of sadness, with
al. In his estimation she was "a splen-
did LADY," He respected her force Of
character and admired her beauty. He
wondered why, with all her capabili-
ties for attracting attention, she had
not chosen a life mate and evaded the
harsh rigors her acceptance of four
helpless charges was certain to bring
to her.
But Inez was loyal and sincere. She
was naturally disappointed to see what
had been considered a great fortune
practically fade away into nothing
ness. There was one mighty consola-
ton. however: all the debts were paid,
within a week she and her pensioners
were quite comfortably domiciled in
the old house at Bridgeton. She sold
off the horses and carriages. The law
yer saved a moiety from the sale OF
the real estate and lnez found herself
the possessor of a liquid capital of
about nine hundred dollars.

observed cheeringly to her aunt and
uncle. I'VE can all do some garden

and the twenty acres ought to provide
for us with a little drawn from the
ready capital The children must go
to school. Aunt Huldah can knit and
can sew, and we shall get along
charmingly."
YES, indeed" readily chirped in her
uncle. "and l am not so old that can
not do little work now and then for
ueighboring farmers"
1t depressed lnez when for the first
time she went to look at the wet
meadows" They covered a few acres
and were a foot deep with swamp
grass and water. There seemed to be
spring in the center which dubbed
up irrepressibly. the waste water hav'

Inez-"all but my poor little damp

1t was with an iron hand, but a

the distracted threads of destiny amid
the wreck and ruin of great fortune.

Inez steadily, although her lip trem-

place at Bridgeton?"
And the wet meadows a mile be-

But the sale Of the estate equities
