CHICAGO TO OMAHA
SHORT TRAIL WILL
PASS THRU OTTAWA
PROPOSED NEW HIGHWAY WILL
CUT FORTY MILES OFF PRES
EMIT ROUTE FOLLOWED BY
LINCOLN HIGHWAY.

The proposed new short trail from
Chicago to Omaha, which will pass
through Ottawa, is laid out over the
old Lincoln highway as it was orig
inally planned by Route Maker A. L..
tNestgard. The new trail, which will
be known as White Way highway,
will be forty miles shorter than the
present Lincoln highway, which runs
out west from Chicago, passing
through Geneva.
The original way as planned for the
highway exactly the same as the new
road is taking, road boosters declare.
Failure c. Geneseo and some of the
towns on the original route to pro-
duce as strong an influence as the
towns in the northern part of the
state exerted caused the route to be
diverted.
In Ottawa at the time Mr.. West
gar laid out the highway a meeting
was held and the trail was marked
through this vicinity. The trail came
in over the Chicago road and ex-
tended over south of the river on
the nresent Ivy Way.
White Way Z highway will pass
through Joliet, Morris, Ottawa, La
Sale. Princeton, Sheffield, Geneseo,
Moline, Rock Island, Davenport, Coun-
Gil Bluffs, Wilton, West Liberty, Ok
ford, Iowa City, Homestead, Marengo
Ladora, Victor, Brooklyn and Des
Moines.
The highway will be paved from
Chicago to Davenport in 1928, and
ten miles of pavement west of Daven'
port will be made in 1924.

he disposed of his store and went
into the tire and phonograph game

iety, desperate struggle and suspen-
sion was over.
Those of the bodies that were not
piled atop of one another were hud-
died together in little groups. Since
death came approximately % days ago
and the temperature in the cross cut
where the men took refuge averages
about 100 degrees, it will be necessary
to wrap each body in canvass prior
to it's removal to the surface.
Officials thought it likely some, but
not all the bodies, could be removed
before morning.
The Sad scenes cuSComall:y asso-
ciated with removal of the dead from
mine disasters were lacking here to-
night. mere was no crowd Of weep
ing widows and sorrowing relatives
at the mine mouth. Aiaong those
gathered at the entrance to the great
gold workings, newspaper men and
miners and comrades of those entomb-
ed pre-dominated. For days the rela-
tives have remained at home under
the pursuasion Of mine officials and
Red Cross workers and tonight it
was the Red Cross Workers or SYM
pathetic friends acting under its guild
ance that brought the sad news to
them.
The time elapsing since the men
We're entombed had given opportunity
to all to prepare for the worst and
when that came it was accepted with
out demonstration.
Most of the miners were of Aus
trian or Italian birth. Eighteen of
them were married and those leave
rs orphans.
A second communication from the
dead was discovered near the body
of William Fessell. Scratched on a
timber were these words:
"3 a. M, gas very bad. Fessell.' y
The hour indicated was only three
hours after fire broke out in the
Argonaut.

men imaginable.

men imaginable.
Sixteen of the entrapped miners re-
moved their clothes to provide mate
rial for stuffing the cracks in the
wooden barrier, hastily constructed
which was found early this evening.
Then another barrier was built Of
rock, earth and debris. However, the
gas and fumes from the fire apparent
ly seeped through the first bulk and
the men fled from the site where they
were building the second one, to start
a third farther on.
This third attempt to wall off the
death dealing gas was made at the
end of the 1850 feet cross cut in the
Argonaut, but the fact that only a
bare start was made at it proved, the
mine officials said, that the deadly
carbon monoXide and the Suffocating
carbon dioXide had reached it and
performed their fatal office before
the AZ unfortunates could raise even
an excuse for a barrier.
Mine officials said that death had
come to the entombed men painless
ly. The gases, they said, would pro-
duce first a lethargy, then coma and
finally death.
Jackson as a whole took the tragic
news calmly and courageously. The
general topic of conversation except
in the immediate family circles of
the dead was arrangements for the
funeral which it was believed would
be a joint affair.
Jackson tonight takes its greatest
tragedy in silence. After the first
hasty news that AZ men had been
found dead in the Argonaut mine,
crowds flowed from homes, stores and
hotels. Small groups gathered on the
sidewalks and discussed the posslbil-
ity that some at least of the five
others who had been entombed since
August q were alive.
But news came soon that all the
men were dead and the little hope
still held by wives, mothers, fathers,
sisters and sweethearts vanished
Knots of people gathered and gave or
received news of this or that dear one
who had met fate bravely and been
overcome.
Relatives OF some of the dead could
be seen walking slowly, calmly to the
telegraph office to send word to other
relatives in distant cities that there
no longer was any hope.
