Old Switch Rails
GO. Too.

Changes are being made in the
tracks OF the Burlington railroad at
this point, to eliminate a reverse
curve and to push the tracks out from
the bluff which will eliminate the
danger of landslides. The change in
the tracks commences at point
about at the end Of Orleans avenue.
No change will be made in the APP
proach to the station or in the yards.
The old track line brought It close
to the ovethanging bluffs. The COM
position OF the soil is such that there
was always a hazard OF landslides.
There is sufficient room between the
bluffs and the government property
and sea wall to move the tracks out
toward the river and it was decided
to make this change y
An elimination of one reverse curve
has oeen accomplished by this change
in tracks. This change, according to
railroad men, will add to operating
efficiency OF the road.
Some Of the old switch tracks which
have been left since the days Of
water power construction will also
be removed at this time.
Water Causes Little Trouble.
Trains on the Burlington were hav-
ing no difficulty on account of high
water south OF Keokuk Although the
water has been over the tracks in
one or two points. there has been
practically no delay in the operation
of the trains. The st. Louis train
was ten minutes late. but no trouble
was experienced on account of high
water, the crew reported.

MARSHAL CITY LOOKS GOOD

Fairbanks Times: Mushing in from the lower river, Dennis Null cahey reports that conditions at Mar shal city, on the lower Yukon river, are better than at any time since the camp was first struck, almost two years ago. Mir. Mulcahey came through from Nome and is on his way outside to undergo medical treat ment and did not have much time to investigate the camp himself, but he was informed by a friend of his, whom he met at Unalakleet, that there would be more money cleaned up there when the water started to run than ever before. Three outfits are reported to be taking out good sized dumps and are in the pay. Sev- eral others are operating on a smaller scale, while about 20 men are pros pecting.
 At Nome, business is rather quiet, the traveller reports, but the mining men think that next summer will be even better than last season. The people of Nome are up in arms, as usual, over the poor mail service, but have been unable to induce the de- partment to do anything for them.

shal von Hindenburg on the Dvina river, and Gneral von Linsingen's troops south west of Lutsk have been compelled to re- tire behind the Lipa river, while in the course of Sundays fighting in Volhynia the Russians captured an additional l3,00o prisoners and 30 guns. General von Lin singen's retirement, according to the Pe- trograd military critics, represents a, great Russian tactical success. It was preceded by heavy fighting in which the Russians smashed the Teuton front on width of mile and penetrated several miles into their positions.
 The war now is costing Great Britain 60O0,000 pounds sterling daily, but with such news as the successes of the entente allies this sacrifice is nowhere grudged. While the power of endurance of the Teutonic allies, should they be forced to act entirely on the defensive, have still to be tested, the British nation is full Of confidence. It is taking nothing for grant ed, but Is fully prepared to acquisce in the advice of it's leading ministers who are exhorting the nation to ths need of patience. Chancellor McKenna told the House of Commons today that nobody could estimate what the nations war ex- penditure might be a month ahead. He also intmated that 1t would become necessary this week to ask Parliament for fresh borrowing powers.
