PLAN To DETTER
RIVER CROSSING
UNITED STATES ENGINEERS TO
HOLD RAILROAD BRIDGE
HEARING AT CHAMBER
LAIN JULY 2

Chamberlain, June 1.-Informa-
ton from official sources at Wash
ington is to the effect that officers of
the United States engineers office at
Kansas City, Mo-. will come to South
Dakota on July for the purpose of
holding a hearing in Chamberlain in
regard TO proposed alterations and
improvements in the bridge of the
Milwaukee railway company crossing
the Missouri river from Chamberlain
to the Lyman county shore, on the
west bank of the river.
In conference with Congressman
Candy the chief of engineers at
Washington advised that all written
communications, recommendation
and evidence to be submitted to the
district engineer prior to the hearing
will first be read and thereafter, at
the hearing on July 2, opportunity
will be given for oral statements and
cross eXaRination.
The chief engineer expressed the
opinion that better record will be
prepared if so fer as possible, ex-
cept for cross examination, the evil
dence submitted at or prior to the
hearing on July is in the form of
written statements.
The hearing will be held as the
result of the secretary of war ruling
that he has good reason to believe
that the Milwaukee bridge across the
Missouri river at Chamberlain is an
unreasonable obstruction to the free
navigation of the river and to con-
tinuous and uninterrupted railroad
traffic
AS a result of the hearing various
improvements in the bridge may be
recommended by the war depart
ment, among them the replacing of
the present pontoon draw by a lift
span or other satisfactory form of
opening providing a vertical clear
ance of not less than 38 feet above
the extreme high water of the navi-
cation season.
Steel spans on the western pile ap-
proach of the bridge and various
improvements will be considered
and acted upon, so the bridge may
be safe for railway traffic at all sea-
sons of the year.

COAL PRODUCTION
IS BELOW NORMAL
FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD PRE-.
diets A SHORTAGE NEXT
WINTER WHICH MAY CUR
TAIL PRODUCTION

Washington, June 21.-A coal
shortage next winter which may cur
tail production of iron and steel and
seriously affect other industries is
foreseen by the federal reserve board
in its review tonight of business, in
dustrial and financial conditions for
the month of May. The situation al
ready is acute in some districts, ac-
cording to the board, and production
in many lines is being held down.
Production of coal is being cur.
tailed chiefly as a result of car short.
estimates the car supply at mines in
the east at only 80 per cent of nor.
NAL. Labor difficulties, while com
plicating the situation, are con
sidered by the board as only a minor
cause of reduced coal production.
Efforts of shippers on the great
lakes to facilitate movement of Goa
by pooling their shipments are re
garded by the board as only a par
tial remedy.
III the Soutll"cS dtSoluInS " tii'
review, many mines are operating a
only two-thirds capacity. Coal ship
ments to other countries are reported
as light. No reduction of coal prices
is in sight, the board says.
Commenting on the far reaching
effect of the car shortage and freigh
congestion, the reserve board states
that reports of its agents indicate
that the transportation tie-up i
largely the result of the railroad
strike. which still continues over /;
large section of the country.

MORNING PASSENGER
TRAIN IS WRECKED
SOFT TRACK RESPONSIBLE FOR
ACCIDENT IN WHICH NO ONE
WAS INJURED-OCCUR
THIS MORNING

The passenger train from Wessing-
ton Springs due in Madison at 9:15
a. m, was wrecked at 700 a. m. to-
day when three miles east of Arte-
Sian. Recent heavy rains have un-
dermined the road bed in number
of places between this place and the
western terminal point. Engineers
exercise due caution when proceed
ing over these danger points.
The wrecked train pulled out of
washington Springs on time and had
gotten nicely underway when the
bad piece of track was encountered.
All of the coaches and the engine
tender left the rails though reports
show that no one was injured.
The Sunday train always stationed
in the local yards proceeded to the
point of the wreck where the pas
sengers and mail were transferred
and brought to this place late in the
afternoon.
1t will doubtless be some time be,
fore the wrecked cars can be placed
back on the rails and the roadbeG
reballasted. AT other points in the
state the same thing has happened
recently and from the same cause.

MITCHELL POLICE
CAPTURE YECCMA|I
PAL OF PRISONER ESCAPES
MUTE BOY GIVES CLEW
WHEN SAW MEN AT CACHE

ris, claiming st. Louis as his home,
was arrested here and charged with
having in his possession enough nj
troglycerine to blow up half the city.
Harris and a companion had hid

bottle of dynamite caps and fuses and
other articles Of use among cracks
men under freight shed in the
Omaha yards.
Walter Brown, mute, boy of
Is, saw the men making the cache,
and notified the police, who recover
ed the stuff at once.
A watch was placed at the freight
shed, and when the men appeared
they were ordered to throw up their
hands. Harris was caught in the act
of seeking to find the stuff under
the shed. His companion escaped.

SPECIAL SESSION
IS To Be BUSY
SOUTH DAKOTA LEGISLATURE
WILL BE CALLED ON TO ACT
IN 4 NUMBER OF URGENT
MATTERS

Pierre, June 21.-The legislature
of South Dakota meets here today to
consider emergency legislation for
the state.
The length of the session and the
measures to be enacted will depend
on what men from all parts of the
state and all walks of life can agree
upon as emergency legislation, such
as cannot well wait till the regular
session of the legislature six months
from now.
Some form of soldiers bonus will
probably be matter of chief con-
Germ. A demand has gone up from
service men and their relatives and
friends for some share for men who
served for $50 per, of that prosperity
which prevailed throughout the state
during their absence; and a bonus
similar to that adopted in other
states. Some amendment of the sol
diers' moratorium law to make il
more equitable will probably be pre-
sented, along with amendments tC
the land settlement act to make il
| more practical for returned service
men to start life on the farm.
Relief for tax troubles of munich
palities and school districts will bt
asked, it is expected. 1t has beer
found that bonds will not sell under
| present legal interest rates, ant
while the legislature cannot wei
change this rate, of course, SOM
form of bonus to make bonds more
attractive and to permit development
to continue will be proposed. Th'
recent holding of the supreme cour
that the consolidated school distric
law does not show that an indepen
dent district can be included in a con
solidated rural school plan is expect
ed to mean flood of validating act
and an amendment proposed to thi
legislature to eliminate the troubl
found in the present law.

Large Numbers Men
Repair Storm Damage

Mitchell, June 21.-After a tour
of inspection of the Milwaukee tracks
between Oacoma and Kennebec, Mil
waukee officials announced that ap-
proximately 20 miles of single track
had been washed out or undermined
between those two towns in western
South Dakota by the recent cloud
burst.
Five trainloads of wOrkmen
steam shovels and pile-driver arc
already on the job making the re.
pairs.
Officials estimate that it will take
nearly a week to put the track bach
into shape and cost many thousand:
of dollars.
This damage probably was thu
worst caused by the torrential rains
which covered a wide stretch OF ter
ritory between the Missouri river ant
Mitchell.
Crop losses also will aggregate
large sum.
