Rows Hin Badly Crushed

Breckenridge Gazette-Telegram-
An accident which nearly cost Leon
ard Schennum, 10-year old son OF
Louis Schennum, his life happened
last Saturday afternoon.
The little fellow was riding on
the rear end of one of the big oil
trucks driven by his father and
owned by the Northern States Oil Co.
His father had started for a de-
tie fellow asked to go along. Mr..
Schennum assented and Leonard
climbed onto the rear end, where
there is a little platform for holding
cans, etc.
At the filing station, while driv-
ing up to one of the storage tanks,
the big truck skidded up against the
platform pinning the child between
the end of the truck and the plat
form.
With the assistance of some rail
road men who were working nearby,
Mr.. Schennum succeeded in getting
his son out of his terrible position.
He was taken at once to his home
and his injuries attended to. 1t was
found on examination, that the thigh
bone was broken and the flesh and
muscles of the leg terribly torn and
mutilated, thirty stitches being nee
essary to close the wound. The boy
bore up under the ordeal in wonder
full shape and the attending phys
lcian gave it as his opinion that he
would be able to be up and around
again by the first of the year.
Oliver Kaldahl arrived in Glen
wood last Monday for a visit with
his parents. Mr.. Kaldahl has since
last April been in Lake Louise and
Banff, Canada where he has been
the clerk of the construction depart
ment for western hotels. After Wis
iting at home for about two weeks
he will go to Montreal where large
place is being erected for winter
sports where he will serve as instruc-
tor in skiing for couple Of months.

TRENTON, Oct. 19:-Ellis H.

The text follows:
"One afternoon about three weeks

dusk. I was awakened by loud
voices scolding. Looking up I saw

She pulled his hair and slapped his

and she cried and told him she

She screamed loud and long. Then
he shot her more, two or three
times.

The party lines upon which the

BURTON GIVES

Defends Cost of Highland

Gives Interesting Data

George L. Burton, chairman OF
the State Highway Commission in
a statement today gives some fact.
in connection with the cost @. COON
struction of the Highland Park
Metuchen road over which there is
considerable discussion.
The statement follows:
Statements and editorials con-
corning the Highland Park-Metu-
chen road, a portion of Route 1 OF
the New Jersey State Highway Sys-
tenn. have prompted me to answer
by way of explanation. I am not
replying to articles written and
statements made for obvious polit-
ical purposes. but feel that the pub
lie generally who use and pay fo-
the roads and have no interest IN
the matter from a political stand
point. is entitled to the fuel facts
This is not a statement from the
State Highway Commission. or is il
a statement of any member of the
commission other than myself.
1T is noted that several articles
have made comparison betwe en- the
cost of a road in Pennsylvania and
the most of the Highland Park-Mc
tuchen road in New jersey Such
comparisons are either the result
of ignorance or deliberate attempi
to misinform and prejudice the pub
lie. Unless conditions and speci-
fications are alike in two roads
nothing can be gained by comparl-
son in price. Should any individual
issue a statement that the Bridge
and Tunnel Commission is spendina
millions for a bridge. together with
the state of Pennsylvania, while the
highway commission is building 8
bridge in New Jersey costing but a
few thousand dollars. it might have
the desired eect of making some
people believe that the Bridge and
Tunnel Commission is a most ex'
travagant organization. but wher
later it is discovered that the Bridge
and Tunnel Commission is huildiha
a structure of great strength width
and length. to be monument 70:
all time to the engineers working
out its detail, and that the bridge
being built by the Highway Cc mmis y
sion is but a small one over a mar
row creek. the comparison amounts
to nothing. So again if ono Board
of F'reeholders in this state shoui1
be criticised because it s~a0f S10.-
900 for a motor truck while another
purchased one for $1,000 although
at first glance it would appear like
gross etravagance. still If the $40
900 truck was of twelve ton capacity
and of the best make and rhe $1,000
truck was one ton capacity and Of
the poorest make. the comparison
v-oul fail.

Raikoading in Chita.

THE Republic of Chta, deep within the Far
i East, is so very new, unheraldcd, that
until its sensational charges against France and
Japan advanced and denied at the conference
of Washington, most OF us thought the compositor
had tried to set "Chins" and failed when we saw
the printed
But Chta vividy exists; it has been tried in the
alembic of war, and its people very close to
the realities of life At present they arc busly
gagged in reconstructing the Siberian Railway that
is the very heart OF the country. In the current
number of Asia Magazine, the tremendous prob
lem" involved is vivdly described by Orrin Keith,
who says in part of his article, THE Chita
Government at Work.
"Thc railway is the life Of Siberia Along it
cluster most Of the towns OF the country, and there
is hardly household but is dependent upon it in
way another. From Bakal to the Pacific,
the railway is the backbone OF the country. And it
was broken to bits during the civil war. Its pos
session vital to each side. Much of the war
fought from armored trains. Great guns,
mounted fiat cars, tore up the track behind
enemy lines A retreat meant the dynamiting of
bridges and the burning of buildings. When the
time for reconstruction came, hundreds of bridges
on the 1880 miles of railway had been destroyed.
Half of the freight cars had been burned or
smashed Most of the locomotives useless.
And nearly all the passenger cars had been stolen
Stolen by escaping troops, who them into for
eign territory into the Japanese controlled
around Vladivostok. Yet today the railway is
running from the borders of Soviet Russia the
west to Khabarovsk and the borders of the Jap
anese the east. Freight moves regularly
and if the passenger schedule is slower than of old
and the trains luxurious, still it is possible
to travel with reasonable comfort from end of
the country to the other.
How was the result achieved without money?
Simply because it had to be. The who did
the work were fed by the government of course
and those most in need of clothing had some given
them, but it was eight months before they got
their first pay envelope. And that envelope
tanned just hve rubes! About $2.so man! Strike?
Yes, they became discouraged at times and talked
OF striking Then the minister of transport. who is
a worker himself, would go down and talk to them
"'Sha we strike? he would ask.
"'Yesp they shouted
"'All right he replied. "'That kills the rail-
way, and the death Of the railway means the death
of the republic Then Scmcnoff will come back
and we can all so to work for him. Let's strike ."
There was enthusiastic shout OF No,
Never or 'Hurrah for the republic! other
dramatic reply. The men simply muttcrcd the
eternal Russian 'Nichevo!'-Nothing to be done!
and went back to their jobs"
