aChildreu Of the Market Place. by
Edgar Lee Masters. (Machillan.)
On a background Of fiction MT.
Masters has set himself the task OF
painting an authentic picture OF that
heroic and grotesque figure OF Amer
ican history, Stephen A Douglas.
He has accomplished his work con-
yincingly, with a wealth of meucu-
lous and realistic political detSn OF
the turmoiled days Of quarrelib, 400
litionists and "slayocracy." The story
is the purported autobiography OF one
James Miles, the Intimate friend OF
Douglas. Against a thinly washed-in
background Of Miles love and family
Affairs. the epicsl figures OF Douglas
and Lincoln are drawn with tragic
darkness: We see them drawn forth
from the womb OF destiny TO their
doom of greatness and disaster.
The story proceeds a leisurely and
carefully as a stage coach. There are
few flashes. Mr.. Masters has
wrapped himself and his literary
style almost completely up in the
fictitious personality Of James Miles,
frustrated in the finer instinct and
deeper joys. but successful business
man and an enthusiastic student OF
politics. Not until the icy ssrdonic
brilliance of the epilogue do We nnd
the full Masters Of spoon River
in the octogenarian Miles burbling,
"the joke Is on those who remain in
life. not those who leave IT"
who sees history ''in terms of action
and reaction;" and whose happiest
prophecy is that, thought will not
be at rest. that hopes will not cease.
and that dreams OF liberty will fas-
cinate the minds of future Lincolns
and Douglases."
The concentrated richness and
plangency of which Masters is cap
able crops up at intervals through

LOOKOUT PASS HIGHWAY
Be OPENED THIS SUMMER
FOREST SERVICE SOON CALL FOR
BIDS TO BUILD IN MIN
ERAL COUNTY,.

According to reliable Information
from Mineral county, Montana, $4,000
is now available through the forest
service for the construction of the new
road from Taft to Lookout pass. there
to connect with the splendid highway
already constructed on this side of the
divide by Shoshone county. 1t is stat
ed that bids will soon be invited for
the work and II is expected that it will
be completed and the road open for
travel during the latter part of the
tourist season. The construction Of
this road involves comparatively little
rock work and when the contract is
let the job will doubtless be completed
in record time. The road will cross the
summit alongside the tracks of the
Northern Pacific, and at an elevation
400 feet below the present road When
this is completed there will be no more
snow shoveling, and the road will be
open for traffic fully two months
longer each year. Like the Lookout
road on the Idaho side, the Mineral
county road will be built on a uniform
5 per cent grade, the road bed not less
than IS feet wide and free from switch
backs

Another factor that is having a ben
eficial effect upon local business con-
ditions is the performance OF annual
assessment work on mining elaine.
Much work remains to be done for tho
year 1921, and this is now being rap
idly taken up in order to have it com
pleted or under way on July 1. the end
of the assessment year 1t most cases
claim owners who are doing their last
years work will remain on the job
until the work for 1922 is accomplished
also. Following the first many claim
owners will take up the work for the
present year, while some will doubt
less let it go over until next spring
when they can double M on the work
for 1922 and 1923. However it is be-
heved that the favorable metal condi-
tions and the good outlook for mining
will induce claim owners generally to
do their work this summer and many
of them viii arrange TO continue devel-
opment. Altogether the outlook is ia
vorable for much new work this year,
which will contribute to the general
prosperity of the district.

TRAFFIC CHIEF OF UNION

REMARKABLE CAREER OF H. M.
ADAMS ACCOMPANIED BY
o.-W. r. G. N. NoTA5LES.

A notable group of railway officials
arrived in Wallace last Sunday after
noon in a special train over the O.-W
r. & n, headed by H. NJ. Adams, OF
Omaha, vice president of the Union
Pacific system in charge of traffic
and the following officials of the o.

eral passenger agent; II. f. Louns-
bury of Portland, general Q freight
agent; w. r. Skey, of Spokane, dis
trict freight and passenger agent; and
William Connolly. of Spokane, superin-
tendent of the Washington division
The special train was made up of Mr.
Adams private car, Mr.. O'Brien's pri-
vate car and a baggage car Mr..
Adams and his associates went over
the Burke branch and apparently gave
considerable attention to conditions in
the canyon. The private cars were
parked just east of the depot, where
Sunday afternoon and Monday fore
noon large shippers representing some
of the mines, including Frank NJ. Smith,
director of the Bunker Hill smelter,
were in conference with Mr.. Adams
and other railroad officials. At 2
o'clock Monday the O.-W. r. & n. Of
ficials left for Spokane by special train
in Mr.. O'Brien's private car Mr..
Adams remained until Tuesday morn
ing when he left for Butte. his private
car being attached to the Northern
Pacific train for Missoula.
His Remarkable Career.
Twenty years ago H. NJ Adams was
general agent of the O.-W. r. & n.
company in Spokane. In 1902 he was
transferred to the head of the traffic
department, with headquarters in
Portland. The high order of his abil-
ity in this most important department
of railroading was recognized by other
companies, and finally when the United
more responsible positions with other
lines, and finally when the United
States entered the world war he was
at the head of the traffic department
of the Missouri Pacific with headquar-
ters in St. Louis. The movement Of
troops, munitions. material and sup
plies of every description presented a
situation that required a single direct
ing head, and Mr. Adams was called to
Washington and placed in absolute
charge of all war railroad traffic Fol-
lowing the conclusion of peace, Mr..
Adams was elected vice president of
the Union Pacific system, the position
he now holds and for which he receives
a salary of $4,000 per year. And 20
years ago he was general agent of the
O.-W. in Spokane. Evidently there is
still opportunity for the man who can
deliver the goods"
Tuesday afternoon. under the guild
ance of H. ]. Arnett local agent of the
O.-W r. & N. Mr.. Adams called upon
numerous business men of the city.

The opening of the Yellowstone trail
over Lookout pass will add an attrac-

crease it's popularity. The view as
the road approaches the summit on the

so broad and on such an easy grade

safe as on level plain. Every tourist
who travels this road will tell his
