PROJECTED PLANS IN ABEYANCE aBBaaBBBBaaB Northwestern Esteaaloa to Wlaaef Probably Oaly New Oa oa-taat Koad Other Maes Halted. Foster Father Disinherits Son if Not a Genius Matt Be High School and Harvard Graduate at Eighteen Instructed to Leave Women Alone. MKKRE, S. D.. July S. (Special.) The railway situation in South Dakota appear to be Buffering from a blight of the weather; the financial situation, th high coat of living, or some other equally potent crfus to bring about a paralysis In active construction work, or the finishing up of proposed work which showed up In bright and favorable colors a few months ago "with rosy promises to many localities' of early railway connections with the outer world. Less than a year ago the air was full of rumors of railway extension work; the engineering forces of the different rail way companies operating In South Dakota were being worked at full capacity, and plans for a large ampunt of new mileage were not only freely discussed by the gen eral public but by railway men themselves Late in the fall, for some unexplained rea son the preliminary work which was under way on many proposed lines, was dropped, and the engineering forces shifted to other .locations or dismissed.. . While this was aolng en there appeared to be a general feeling that such work was only being postponed until spring, when it would again be pushed. But spring has come and gone and midsummer is at band without a sign of revival of the bright prospects of less than a year ago. iVorthnnlrrn Mo pa. The Northwestern road stopped short all Its work on the proposed line from Hitch cork to Oh Ida, scattering Its engineering force and hauling away piles of material which had been stacked at Hltchcoolc for this line. The preliminary work on the lines north from Its Plerre-Rapld City line, which wss kept up until the men. were driven In by the snow last winter, has not been resumed this year.' Other preliminary 'work has been entirely cut out. That com oany has completed its line east from Belle Fourche to Newell on the government ' irrieation project and scattered the con duction force; within a few days it will ' have completed the line from Blunt to Gettysburg, and nothing more Is In sight in that part of the state. The only thing In the way of Northwest ern extension which appears to show the quickening of life is the extension west from Dallas. This line is proposed to cross Tripp county and on the strength of such a line the town of Lamro was moved to "Winner, several miles north, where the railway officials had promised railway con nections before the close of this year. After backing1 and filling several times on tbat promise, graders are- now being sent to Dallas, and the line will likely be finished to Winner this year, but probably not any ' farther. With- that work done, the outlook is not bright for any further Northwestern extension work In South Dakota this year and approximately the same conditions exist in regard to extension work by that company in other, northwestern states where plana have been pushed. In Milwaukee Territory. The Milwaukee company appears to be In about the same position. They have cut .out all preliminary work all over the state, Their proposed line from Hobrldge out Into J the thunder Butto country has stopped at , Timber Lake, about half way out. They are yet working on their Fox Ridge line, and while the promoters of the new town of Faith are selling lota on the strength of the 'assertion that the line will be finished to that place before snow" files next winter, the probabilities are that the loudest whistle vthey will hear at Faith before another year . will be that of a steam breaking plow. . The Northern Pacific extension down the river from Mandan, which was to get into South Dakota this year, is reported to be at 'a complete halt, with no probability of .Us getting any farther this year. The Minneapolis & St, Louis oompany, which holds an. option on the grade between this city and Aberdeen, has, through Us representatives In conference with business men of this city, secured an extension of ' ninety days in Its option, carrying It up to the 1st of October. They give the excuse of the money situation In the east as the reason for asking for this time. That they - cannot work until they have finished nego tiations for the necessary cash, and there has been delay in this. ' ' Hew Companies. Several new companies have filed articles of incorporation for territory affecting por tions of this state, but none of them show ' any Indications of getting beyond the inoor : potation stage this year, and the probablll ' ties of railway exteuslon In this part of the northwest for at least a year are not very brlcjht, ... .. Just what the real reason la for this sud den dropping of projected lines Is not given to the public. One authority says It Is scarcity ot money;, another that the legis latures of the northwest all meet next win ter and the companlea want to know what treatment they are to receive before they , venture any turther; others ascribe It to the crop outlook, but that is a late reason and could hardly apply when the dropping . out process was commenced last fall. While these appear to be the reasons advanoed by ' the railways the-uselvea. the "general pub ' lie" is at sea, and many ot that class are ' narrow enough to ascribe It to an agree. ineiu among tho railways themselves to keep out of the territory of one another, and hold -what they have without any further build ing operations.

TO USE POLAR IXIER "AMEBICA" Regards Atteaapt as Vaeertala Vea- tart, with Caaace of Seccese Start I.aat at Aaa-eat. NEW YORK, July S.-Walter Well man and Melvln Vanlman win attempt this coming fall to cross the Atlantio ocean in the dirigible balloon ' America, whloh was built for the Wellman polar expedition and has twice been tested in voyages over the Atlantio ooean north of Spitsbergen. The attempt -jrlll be made solely - on the responsibility ot the aeronauts, but the New York Times, the Chicago Record-Herald and the London Dally Telegraph have ar ranged to buy the news ot the expedition, which will be transmitted by wireless from the airship. The America will be housed at Atlantic City during Its preliminary trial. A shed to shelter It has already been contracted for, and hydrogen gaa apparatus to Inflate Its gaa hogs has been shipped from Paris. This shelter, or hanger, as it Is techni cally known, will be 260 feet long, eighty feet high. Will Carry Crew of Six. ' The America will carry a crew of six men, Including the wireless operator, and 600 gallons of gasoline in a steel tank. Equipped for a day's run It could oarry seventy-five passengers In addition to' its full crew. In tlse it ranks- second only to the latest Zeppelin airship. Two engines will drive It, one ot TO to SO- horsepower for ordinary duty, and one. ot 800-horsepower for emergency servloe, when high speed la needed. A little 10-horse- power motor takes the place of ft donkey engine aboard ship for small offices. The quantity ot fuel carried gives the Irsblp a greater radius of action than tho distance from New York to Europe, and a study of prevailing winds during tha sea son at which It Is proposed to make the passage shows that they lie parallel to the eastbound course laid down by Atlantic liners. Even If the net effect of the winds should prove unfavorable. It Is estimated by the aeronauts that the fuel would hold out for the full distance. Wellman and Vanlman are by no meant sure that their attempt will be successful. but they think - the chances . are good enough to warrant at least a trial. They plan to start late In August or early In September from a base near New York, not yet selected. CALIFORNIA GIANT .

FIX BATE AT FIVE AND HALF Coatraelore Delayed la Work Dor. las Good Weather, .Some Gotaa; Ahead oa Ovra Heapou slblllly. The South Omaha city council wrestled with the problem of city finances In a spe cial sesalon last night. The object of the session waa the Introduction of an ordi nance to amend previous ordinances pro viding for paving to pay a rate of in terest amounting to 6Vi per cent The bonds previously have borne S per cent, but the last Issue of bonds brought no bidders, so after having twice readvertised without aucoes It wsa thought advisable to raise the rat of Interest. The first step In the proceeding was to Introduce the amendatory ordinance. The ordinance will affect an Issue of $208,000 worth of paving bonds. The council took this action after it was found Impossible to sell any large quantity of the bonds to local capitalists. Th state treasurer was also appealed to to see It any money was in thet treasury whloh un der the state law might have been used for the purchase of the South ' Omaha municipal bonds. At the present season ot the year It wa found that the state wo short of funds for uch an investment. The South Omaha Commercial club re luctantly agreed with the council that th rate of Interest must be raised. , ' The contractors for the paving are Im patiently waiting the sal of the bonds so that they may proceed with th -work, go on his way and be more careful In the future, w hen tha young woman laughed I Some of the contractor are proceeding on just a little, and musically at that.

His partner is doing his best to break In by th front door In the meantime and they have been able to pull off a few sneak thefts In that way. Another ot their tricks 1 taking orders for fin carving set which must be paid for partly In advance. The police have made no arrests.
