Wondarful Siberian Railway.

The great railway of 5000 miles In
length that runs across Siberia is one
Of the most marvellous in the world,
first because of the difficulties that had
to be faced in building it and, second
ly, because Of its enormous length.
For nearly 1000 miles along this steel
track the line crosses an almost tree
less plain. All the stations along those
weary miles are at least thirty miles
apart, and most Of the villages are
long way from the stations.
In winter this Siberian line is one
continuous view Of snow, stretching
for miles along the seemingly endless
desert. Sometimes the villages and
stations are almost buried in snow, and
not infrequently the train gets showed
up. Water for the stoves and the en-
gines has to be brought steaming hot,
lest it should freeze Oh the way, and
often men at the stations in the depth
Of winter have to chop off long icicleS
from the engine and cars. But even
the intense cold has its advantages, for
dairy products, such as cheese and but
ter, can be carried by rail without hav-
1Re to be put into refrigerating trucks.

SENATOR CLARK NEXT ID
 RICHEST MAN IN J. 5.

Is w. A. Clark, mine king and former Senator from Montana, over hauling John D. as the richest man in America?
 That's the word out here. War prices on metals have enorm- ously increased Clark's already fabu- lous income.
 And the difference between Clark and Rockefeller and other American money monarchs is that Clarks vast holdings are practically all in his own name and that of his family.
 His intimates here say he could raise $100,000,0O0 in cash in 24 hours out of his own storehouse of wealth, and that he is probably the only man in the United States who can.
 United Verde, the Arizona copper mine for which Clark recently refused $75 100000, is alone paying him a monthly dividend of $2,000,00O.
 His Butte properties, though com paratively small, also yield him enor- nous sums.
 Aside from the s5O,OOO,O0O loan he made France, the adopted land of his children, Clark has $20,0OO, ,O00 loose change he doesn't know what to do with.
 A French syndicate wanted to pur- chase United Verde. "The Old Man," as they call him here, said:
 "Well, l don't want to sell Verde, but l suppose everything has it's price. Tell you what I'll do. You survey the property and pay me 10 cents pound for all the ore actually in sight"
 When, at 10 cents per pound, the actual ore bulked to the staggering figure of $6O,OOO, ,O0O the syndicate en- gineers threw up their hands. And copper is today selling around 35 cents per pound. ... b Clark has a $15,000,000 home on Fifth avenue, a s10,O00, ,0O0 chateau in Paris, where his children live, another palace in Los Angeles and the old home in Butte.
 In New York the brass trust want ed to hold him up on the million dol lar fixtures for his Fifth avenue home, so Clark started a foundry of his own just for that purpose.
 Starting as bull team driver, vendor of spices and baking powders, here in the early days, he got in on the first whack at the "billion dollar hill" at Butte.

pastor of the local and Williams par" ishes, delivered very instructive and entertaining lecture in the assembly hall Monday night on the life and works of Longfellow. MT. Jenkins lived for several years in the country so dear to the great American poet and was personally acquainted with some of Mir. Longfellow's daughters as we'll as the buildings in which he lived and taught. Several lantern slides were shown by the schools lantern among them being some in terior views of MT. Longfellow's resi- dence photographed by MT. Jenkins himself. Pictures from Evangeline and "The Village Blacksmith" were also shown. ...... ....
 Three musical numbers were inter spersed in the lecture to make it more enjoyable. These were in the nature of songs the words of which were written by Longfellow. The first was a duet Trust Her Not" sung by Misses Gardner and Frost; the second was solo "The Arrow and the Song," sung by Mir. Rosenberry; and the last was another solo, "The Bridge" sung by Miss Frost.
 Wilmyrth Layton left for home in Thatcher on No. 9, Tuesday morning She will not return to school. Con ditions at home are said to be the cause of her leaving. Poor Robinet- te! We feel for you.
 Marie Mcdonnell is again unable to be in school on account of her rheumatism. She seems to be having considerable grief with it.
 The somewhat unexpected snow storm over the week end has tempo rally postponed athletic endeavors.

The seventh an deigth grades of the training school had quite Puri- tan party Friday afternoon of last week. Among other noteworthy things "The Courtship of Miles Stand ish" was very ably dramatized. Alp propriate costumes were a feature of the program.
 Students are just now recovering from the somewhat distressing effects of the regular quarterly examina- tions held last Thursday and Friday. The grades are not yet officially given out and some of us do not care if they are not.
 During an examination in music last Friday afternoon, about half the plaster on the ceiling of the room came down upon the heads of the assembled students. Oh, nothing hap pened.
 Mary Warren, training school girl who lives in New hall, returned to school Wednesday after an absence of more than month.
 Miss Bolts has been confined to her room the fore part of this week on account of illness. The history and civics classes are in tears.
 Mir. s. H. Mitchell, of Phoenix, was the guest of his daughter, Florence on Monday.
 About the most welcomed thing that has happened to this institution in long time was the passing by the legislature last week of an appropria- ton of $250, ,000 for the Northern Ari- zona Normal school. s75,00O of this fund is to be used in the construction of west wing to the main building which is to be for the most part an auditorium. The remainder of the appropriation is for running expenses for the next two years. This is the largest appropriation the school has ever received and will enable the ad- ministration to employ additional teachers as we'll as provide consider able new equipment. The provision for an auditorium is the best part of the appropriation, however, and it will add considerable to our present room. All we need now is a gymna- sium, training school building, and another dormitory. We'll get them of the next legislature.

Today at 76, he has mines in Mon tana, Arizona, California, Michigan, owns the Salt Lake line from Butte to Los Angeles, has oil properties in Wyoming-in fact owns tremendous properties in nearly every state.
 Every night he knows just what has happened during the day on all his holdings. He gets reports from them ala bushel basket of telegrams every night at the New York offices.
 His political fights in Montana and they have been on the theory that might makes right-have cost this super-rich man millions.
 It is from these political battles that Clark says he has learned the philosophy to which he today ascribes his remarkable energy and unfailling business acumen.

 NEWSY NOTES OF INTEREST

Gladys Woods returned to school Monday morning after an absence of several days on account of humps. She was the guest of Mrs. William Borum during her illness.
 Nearly all the students attended the photo-play Ramona" at the Or pheum Friday night.
 Carlton Prather returned from the Milton hospital Thursday night and re-entered school Monday morning. The exact nature of his complaint seems to be still somewhat of a con- undrum.
 Mir. Thorpe returned to his regular school work Monday morning. He has been suffering for some time with an absess in his ear which kept him out of school for several days.
 The schedule of meals at the dining hall has been changed. Hereafter supper will be served at six o'clock and study hours will begin at seven- thirty. This change has been made for the benefit of the would-be ath- letes in order that they may have more time for practice.
 The seniors seem to be rushing the photographer beyond the limits of safety for his camera That annual will be coming out soon and their in dividual portraits must of course be reproduced in this wonderful publica- tion.
 Paul Richards returned Sunday night from a flying visit to his par ents in Holbrook.
 Lloyd Parks, a student of Winslow high school who has on various occa- sions distinguished himself in foot ball and baseball, was the guest of Bill Jim" Wyrick over the week end
 Mrs. Beckwith, preceptress of New hall, was a visitor at the funeral of Father Marx in Winslow last week. She returned Sunday evening.
 After dinner dancing in the lobby of the dining hall has been forbidden for a time at least. Reasons are not known outside of official circles and the loose footed kids are somewhat put out about it apparently.
 Mrs. Blome left last Thursday night for Tempe. She goes to visit with her daughter, Mrs. Norman Windes, and will be gone some two weeks, it is said.
