A NEW PLAN
To Save Money on Your
Livestock ,
By Insuring Your Live Stock in Transit Against
All Hazards of Transportation
Up-to-date shippers of live stock are taking advantage of the new op
portunity offered by the "Hartford Complete Live Stock Transit Policy. It
is a great benefit to a shipper to know the cost of a consignment of stock de
livered at any market
Without Guessing
Live stock commission men have endorsed the plan. Progressive buy
ers are calling for the broad protection of Complete Live Stock Transit Poli
cies. Individuals are saved from ruin, and the "funeral train" that daily
hauls the dead animals away from all big stock yards need not worry you.
The
Hartford Fire Insurance Co.
Established 1810
Hartford. Conn.
Is the only company offering to producers, buyers, and shippers of live stock a
broad policy, easy to understand, clear in its terms, which gives absolute pro
tection against loss from all hazards of transportation, including suffocation,
freezing, trampling, fire, collision, train-wreck, and every form of killing or in-y,
jury while the animals are in the custody of a common carrier.
The rates are low ; THE POLICY GIVES THE SHIPPER A CHANCE
TO PLAY SAFE in building up a business by insuring his live stock on the
way to the market. BE SURE and insure today. The next shipment you
make may be a total loss.
The "Hartford" pays promptly, whether the
railroad company is liable or not. Losses set
tled and paid on the basis of cash market value.

470 acres In Wyoming, withdrawn
because of their possible oil content,
hare also been restored to entry. In
Oregon 840 acres of land were restor
ed to entry bocause examination
proved these lands to be not valua
ble for power purposes.
In Colorado, Idaho, Montana, and
Utah 3.70 acres of land were with
drawn from all forms of entry be
cause of prospective value for power-bite
purposes, the largest areas
being 1,800 acres along Blacksmith
Fort River, Utah, and 1,600 acres

There were classified as nonlrrlga-

The president, upon recommenda
tion of Secretary Lane, has Just sign
ed an order creating the Big Lake
Reserve, Arkansas, for the protec
tion of native birds. The tract em
braced within this bird resenre con
tains of low marsh land, overflowed
for a considerable period each year,
about 3,800 acres, and a larger tract
covered with water from two to six
or eight feet in depth, which is about
nine miles long and of a width vary
ing between 100 yards and a mile
and a Quarter approximately.
Big Lake is in the so-called "sunk
land" country, famous for its vast
number of waterfowl and plume
birds and notorious for many years
as a paradise for market hunters
and plume colectors. The land with-
in the reserve are valueless for ag
riculture, are all the property of the
United States, and form the most Im
portant unreserved natural bird res
ervation in the Mississippi valley and
probably within the United States.
say they are warranted to haul sev
enteen loaded passenger cars up the
steepest of Burlington grades In this
state at a rate of thirty-five miles an
hour, and this Indicates the great
amount of power. They are very
much like the standard main line
passenger engine In use for several
years on this road. Discussing these
engines a local englneman says:
"No one knows how fast one of
these engines will run. What is
known Is that they are built to draw
the heaviest trains at the highest
time card speed under the tnost ad
verse conditions. With that power
It la possible to keep tralna on time."
Here are some facts from the rec
ords concerning these new engines:
Cylinders. 27 by 28 Inches; driving
wheels, diameter, 74 Inches; steam
pressure, 180 pounds; grate area,
58.7 square feet; water heating sur
face, 3.364 square feet; superheat
ing surface, 751 square feet; weight
on driving wheels, 160,700 pounds;
weight total engine, 266,400 pounds.

(ut'i'iixev Cutoff Nearlng Completion
The tunnels on the cut-off, which
constitutes more than half of the
construction work on the nine miles
of grade between Guernsey and Orln
Junction, Will be completed within
the next two months, The first tun
nel is now completed with the excep
tion of hauling in gravel for the road
bed. This piece of work, the largest
ot the three tunnels being 3,300 feet
long, required a large force of men
with the most modern machinery
more than a year and a half to com
plete. The second and smallest tun
nel will soon be completed. The
heading haa been taken out and 1200
feet of the bunch is finished. They
are now taking out 28 feet per day
and only 400 feet remains to be fin
ished. Gibbons Bros. are . well along
with the work on the third tunnel,
but have struck springs In several
places and the water came In to such
an extent that pumps were required.
This has caused considerable trouble
and expense and has delayed the
work, but they expect to be finished
by September 15. Guernsey Ga
