To Coast via Prescott and Black Canyon

At the request of The Arizona Re publican. Joseph Thalheimer, Jr., who has just arrived in Los Angeles. has logged the route taken by his party by auto to the coast. He went the north ern route and his log is as follows:
 Motorists intending to go to Pres cott should now, by all means. take the Black Canyon road. Heretofore this route. which is much shorter than the Wickenburg road, has been impossible in automobiles but it has recently been improved and is now in top-notch condition.
 The road is uniformly good all the way to Prescott A short stretch. not over three miles long, of rough road is encountered a short distance after crossing the Arizona canal The rivers are all easily forded and there is abso- lutely no sand on the route Several very stiff and long orades are encoun tered but the road over them is eX- tremely good. with the exception of a few rocky spots on the smaller grades. A good many miles before Prescott and running all the way into Prescott a smooth, well keDt-up road is to be found
 Motorists who do not know this route can secure information concerning it from their motor supply dealer
 Following the Black Canyon route the distance from Phoenix t. Prescott is IA miles, much shorter than any other road.
 The road to Los Angeles, via the Black Canyon to Prescott and thence to Los Angeles is on the whole, in good shape. with but few bad stretches. The shortest, and best route to Prescott at the present time, is the Black Can yon Road which has recently been inn proved There are many steep pitches

TO TRAP BEAVER IN JANUARY
Cunning Animals That Have Damaged
Trees Along the Mouse River
May Be Caught After Jan Is

DR.. D. F. Seed, who owns farm in
the valley beyond Burlington, has To-
Gated six beaver dams on the farm and
is preparing to trap the cunning ami
mails after Jan. Is. He already has
made plans for securing enough of
this valuable fur for a nice coat or
two. He estimates that there are at
least hundred beavers making their
homes on his farm, cutting down his
trees and making themselves obnox-
ious generally.
81 am going to camp right on the
farm in January and trap those bea-
ver," he confded to an Independent
representative. II learned how to trap
beaver from the late VIM. Parker and
believe that it's easy. All one has to
do is to locate the haunts of the bea-
yer and insert stick with a trap fas-
tened to it, just below the ice. The
trap should be located near the level
of the ice. The beaver will try to
gnaw off the stick close to the ice,
strike the trap and, bling! he's caught.
He'll drown quickly"
A beaver hide is worth from $1,000
to $1,000. For many years beaver
have been protected in North Dakota.
but they have done so much damage
that the legislature amended the game

MINOT DISPATCHERS
s- WILL GO TO RUSSIA
American Railroad Employees Will
Operate Twelve Whole Divisions
of Trans-Siberian Line

Two Great Northern dispatchers
employed in this city, f. w. Strange
and w. T. Hyatt, have been accepted
by the government for service in Rus
STA and expect to leave soon.
A. F. McLane, the we'll known in
surance man, formerly Great North
ern dispatcher, applied for service in
Russia and has been accepted.
This government will equip twelve
divisions of the Trans-Siberian line in
Russia with dispatchers, engineers,
firemen, conductors, etc., which will be
under the management of George En-
erson, formerly of Minot, who has just
given up his position as general man
ager of the Great Northern. The
Trans-Siberian line is 5000 miles in
length but has been poorly managed.
The Russian engineers receive only
$500 month and have to buy their
own clothing. The Russian conductors
earn $1,000 a month with clothing fur
nished. This railroad is in the hands
OF the Russian government, but there
has been SO much graft that Ameri-
cans must be sent there to run the
road. In Russia, the graft has gotten
SO strong that one has to pay in order
to get car moved. Everyone seems
to have his init" out. The Ameri-
can railroad men will be commission
ed by the United States government.
Manager Emerson will have the title
of Colonel. He will have his lieuten-
ant Colonels. Engineers will be COM
missioned as Captains and dispatch
ers as lieutenants, and so on down the
line. They will take a large number
of Russian interpreters. While it is
not known just when they will leave,
it is said that they will be working in
Russia before Christmas.

POWERS LAKE THRESHING
ENGINE BLEW UP

Powers Lake, Oct. 23.-Tuesday
morning word was telephoned to this
place that the boiler of threshing
engine operating near Wards lake had
blown up and that George Schmidt of
Powers Lake, the engineer, and Art
Peterson of Coteau, fireman, were Sc
riously if not fatally injured. Later
in the day Mr.. Schmidt was brought
to town suffering from some bad
bruises about the legs. He is recover
ing rapidly. The fireman, Mr.. Pet
erson, was scalded about the face and
chest, being caught between the en-
CINE and tender. At latest reports he
is resting easily and it is thought will
recover. Investigation showed that
the crown sheet Of the boiler had Civ
en- away, probably due to a strain in
climbing long hill a short time be-
fore.

AMERICAN TRANSPORT
ANTILLES WAS SUNK

The Antilles, an American trans
port, enroute from France to Ameri-
ca, was sunk, presumably by tor
pedo from a German submarine. Six
ty-seven lives were lost and ITO were
rescued. The Antilles was struck
amidship and sank in five minutes.
Many of those lost are believed to
have been killed by the explosion. Sew
eral of those who lost their lives were
American soldiers from Pershing's
army, sent home for one reason or an
other.
Survivors praise the captain of the
Antilles and the members of the gun
crew who stuck to their posts while

Pleasure to Battle

Nice pure soft water is now flowing
through the water pipes in the city Of
Minot and it has become a real pleas
ure to take a bath for instance. The
water is the product of one of the
city's new Oak Park wells. 1t is not
yet fit to drink on account of the bac-
terra remaining in the pipes from the
river water, but the public chemist is
testing it daily and will notify the
public as soon as it is safe to use it.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1917-10-25

the officers searched with field glasses
for the submarine until the waves
closed over the ship.
When the Antilles sank, forty or
fifty men were at the stern. Most of
them leaped fifty feet or more into the
sea as the stern rose to perpendic-
ular position and some were drawn
down by the suction of the sinking
vessel
The sea was running high at the
time, making it difficult to save the
crew and passengers. Some survivors,
clinging to debris, were in the water
an hour before they were sighted by
the life boats.
