ERA IN RAILROAD
INGDAWNS
440 Miles of The 'MiIwaukee's" Main
Line Over The Rockies Elec-
trifed

A new era in railroading dawns-
another milestone in the worlds pro-
gress has been erected. The Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway has
inaugurated this great epoch by &C
complishing the longest extent of
main line electrifcation in the world,
through a region demanding the ut
most Of energy and efficiency in loco
motives.
The electrified district is that Of the
Great Continental Divide, extending
from Harlowton, Mont, to Avery,
Idaho, a distance of 440 miles-(115
miles from Three Forks to Deer
Lodge, Montana, now in operation.l
The power used to operate the
giant electric locomotives is obtained
from mountain waterfalls. From the
hydro-electric plant at Great Falls and
from other plants, the electricity is
transmitted at the high tension of 100,
900 volts alternating current to IA
sub-stations of the railway, and there

is stepped down and changed to 5000
volts direct, the current used by the
locomotives.
One of the scientific marvels is re-
generative braking, by which the
train on down grades, instead of con-
suming electricity, actually produces
it, and by which at the same time the
speed of the train is kept under per-
feet control without using the air
brakes.
With electrification has come, con-
sevation of resources, more efficient
and economical operation. better
maintenance of schedules, the practi-
cal elimination of all trouble due to
snow and cold, smoother riding, and
enhanced comforts owing to freedom
from smoke, dirt and cinders.
Electrifcation added to its other
advantages, makes the milwaukee"
more than ever the road of efficiency,
comfort and charm. Remember this
fact when planning your next trip to
the Pacific North Coast.

apply to local agent of this road.

With snow storm raging last

ALLIES EVACuATE
THE DARDANELLES

London, Jan. 1.-THE allies have
abandoned the Dardanelles campaign.
General Sir Charles Monro, an off,
cial British statement says, reports
the withdrawal of all the British and
French forces from the Gallipoli pen
insula.
In the final withdrawal, the report
says, only one British soldier was in
jured and there were no casualties
among the French. Seventeen guns,
which General Monro says were worn
out, were blown up by the British be-
fore the evacuation, but no other guns
were left behind.
Turkish forces, estimated at more
than 100000, have been released for
use in other thcaters of war by the
action of the allies in completely
abandoning the Dardanelles campaign
They comprise the prize corps of the
Turkish army, hard fighters, seasoned
in fierce battles on Gallipoli. The
greater part of this force, it is be-
lieved here, will be thrown at once
into the proposed Egyptian campaign
or sent into Mesopotomia to aid the
attempt to drive the British out of the
Garden of Eden.

INHERITANCE TAXES
PAID TO NORTH DAKOTA
A Little Contribution From Mall
Order King.

Bismarck, Jan. 1.-THE state
tax commission received today a pay
ment in the sum OF $1,05S as an in
heritance tax from the estate of
Richard H. Sears, deceased, of Chi
cago. This payment was made after
a great deal of research by the tax
assisted by several reg
listers of deeds, and is evidenced by
held against the North
Dakota farmers and bonds of the
500 Railway company. The people
of the state will be glad to know
that through the efforts of the tax
some sof the mail-order
money sent out of the state is at last
returning in the shape of taxes.
Some time ago, through the same
payment of $4,000 was
made by the estate of William Deer
ing. This payment was based on
chattel mortgages and notes held
against North Dakota farmers for
the purchase of farming machinery.
None of these payments are made
without protest and the law was
really tried out between the attor-
neys by mail. Recently resident of
Pennsylvania died leaving such prop
erty in this state and the executor
paid to the state nearly $4,000.

DEATH OF HANS ANDERSON

The death of Hans Anderson, oc-
Cured Tuesday afternoon at 4
o'clock at his residence, 321 Fourth
avenue north. Death was due to
pneumonia after a short illness. Mr..
Anderson has been engaged with the
Northern Pacific company as car in
spector and repairer. He was born
in Sweden, October 1868, and was
the father of eleven children, ten of
whom are living.
The funeral will be held today
at 2 p. m. at the house, Rev. Wisnaes
officiating, and burial at Highland
Home cemetery.
Mr.. Anderson came to the United

gagged in farming He was married
in Minneapolis in 1886 to Miss Mary

S<!<s,W CITY BANK DEPOSITS
&%x
Great in County Since Sep
s. ''ber.

The January ret of the three
national banks of Ja lestown show
resources of over s2,O00,000. De-
posits have greatly increased since
the middle of September and the
showing is splendid one for city
of this population.
In the smaller banks outside of
Jamestown in Stutsman county the
same rate of increase, if not greater,
is shown. 1t is probable that the
bank deposits have increased a half
since threshing began. Much of the
grain crop still remains in the hands
of the producers, which is equivalent
to cash; this is not shown in the
bank deposits. With increased pric-
es for farm products and steady
sale of them throughout the next six
months, the bank deposits ought to
remain large during the coming year
and business good.
There will be no large amount of
cash required by farmers this year
in buying seed or feed, as plenty OF
both have been saved for the next
crop year. The only drawback to
the favorable situation is that little
fall blowing has been done, and this
will curtail the crop acreage in the
county and in the state. On the
other hand, this ought to be factor
in keeping prices on high levels for
another crop season.

insist that every man who is within
our borders shall be an American and
nothing else.
Preparedness Best Guarantee.
1--WE must do justice to our own
people at home; we must insist on
the most thoroughgoing preparedness
to protect cur rights against all possi-
BILE attacks by any aggressors. Such
preparedness is the best guarantee of
any honorable peace"
