Heroic France

Across Europe runs the long
est battle line of history, and
every yard of it has its hero.
Trickling across the map a thin
double line marks the trenches
where through the weary months
Teutons and Allies have held
with varying fortunes, never yet
decisive, the greatest deadlock
of hostile armies in all the wars
of the world. And through it
all in the thickest of the fight
have stood heroic the colors and
the uniforms of the soldiers of
France. The nations, never
questioning the gallantry of
those brave men, yet questioned
their t~emperamental fitness for
the logged work OF war. They
had dash, it was said, but not
the plunging perseverance Of the
German, the bulldog tenacity of
the Briton. Yet no troops have
withstood better than France
the long, grinding strain of
trench warfare.
And now where the battle line
threatens to give way at a point
most vital, now when the Ger
man offensive is delivering its
most smashing blows, concen-
trating its utmost strength anC
weight of artillery and rifle fire
there at the point of impact
stand the regiments of France

S3.OOO.OOO A Mile

There are two new enterprises
now being carried forward in
New York, each of which equals
the Panama canal in magnitude
and estimated cost. These are
the aqueduct to bring water from
the Catskill mountains to supply
the city, and the new subway.
But the most spectacular new
thing about New York is the
bridge over He'll Gate, the great
est work undertaken by man in
at least ten different features. It's
arch of 1,017 feet will be the
longest steel arch in the world
1t will be the heaviest bridge
ever built, containing four times
as much steel as the Wolworth
Tower. 1t has four of the lar
gest pieces of steel evr made,
each weighing 200 tons. The
ends of the bridge rest upon
four of the heaviest castings
ever made, each weighing 500,
900 pounds. The jacks used in
lifting these enormous masses
into place are the most power
full ever made and the rivets
that fasten them together are
the largest ever used. The en-
cheering problems involved are
the most difficult ever solved, anc
the foundations were the most
difficult to make safe; the con.
crete retaining walls are the
highest ever built, and the ten.
mile railway, of which the bridge
is 6 part, is the most costly in
point of construction of any line
in the world. The whole cost i.
} estimated at 80 millions or thre,
million dollars a mile, of which
IL millions is the cost of thu
bridge over He'll Gate. The roac
and the bridge, it is expected
will be ready for use in Jul,
1917. Elk.

Stealing Bicycles Expensive

Stealing BlcyleS Expensive
Benny Jones who lives at the
McGrew Mining Camp, was ar
rested Wednesday night by
Deputy Sheriff Joe Waddell for
stealing a bicycle from another
miner living in the neighborhood.
Thursday morning he was given
a hearing before Justice of the
Peace Clyde Wright. Jones
claimed his theft was in the ma
ture Of a reprisal; that some one
had stolen his bicycle and as he
had considerable use for one, he
borrowed one and kept it. He
made a strong plea in his owr
behalf, claiming that his family
was sick and that if he was lock-
ed up they would become desti-
tute. Justice Wright explained
to the man that his act carried
a ninety day Jail sentence, but
owing to conditions stated in his
plea for leniency, he would not
lock him up and instead fine him
$25 and costs. Jones was sent
back to Jail until arrangements
could be completed to provide for
the fine.
