Long year» passed while the master minds were working out the details and the oroas ing o f the Missouri on the splendid steel bridge at Mobridge was not uu dertaken u n til‘all the details had been carefully worked out. This bridge marks the connecting link between the Hast tnd the West, the dividing line between the older company'» line» and those o f the extension. While the par ent system has recently taken over the 2,000,000 A City’s Papers f" u* whole western extension, the bridge still marks the dividing liue between the old and the new and for years to come w ill designate the link bringing two great railroads together. The line from Mobridge was planned from the very start to tie built upon standard lines with the least possible bar to e f f i cient handling o f freight and passenger traffic. Close attention was given to agricultural and general industrial pos sibilities with the result that the line has been constructed through a wealthy and scenically beautiful regiou with a "b a c k co u n try " o f undeveloped re sources that w ill take years to develop but which w ill forever be tributary to the main line.

Name Time B y Wireless A t the St. Quentin station on the Northern Railroad in France there has been installed a wireless tele graph station for receiving time sig nals from the E iffe l Tower station so as to have the exact time and thus be able to set the station clocks more accurately than before. The distance from Paris is about 05 miles so that the time signals are well received even with the small aerial used. No doubt the railroad will ex tend the use o f the wireless method in the future. A station which is so equipped can also send the time over the ordinary telegraph lines to other railroad stations.

Less than one year’s work usually tells the story of the difference in construction between a high-grade, high-priced and high-powered car, and those built to sell at a low first cost. The strain o f gear shifting, the ja r of road shocks, and the stress of brake work begin to tell on cheap cars. The man who wants a thoroughly depend able car at a moderate price, the very “best buy” is a high-grade used car that has been rebuilt and made practically as good as new.
