A Secret Understanding Between
the Rock Island and Midland.

In speaking of the early completion
of the Rock Island road to Colorado
Springs the Denver Times says: ut is
said negotiations are also pending with
the Colorado Midland to construct
through to Salt Lake, and q combine
between the road and the Rock Island
is sought for transcontinental pur-
poses. One week from to-day the track
will be connected with the Rio Grande
at Colorado Springs, when the WORK of
ballastlng and getting the line in good
repair will speedily follow" This is
just what the NeWs predicted more than
a year ago, and we still believe that
there is a secret understanding between
the Rock Island and Midland,
but that they are working under
cover to C, ced their true
relations from Mr. roads. 1t
is more than prob le that the D. &
r. u. Western is also in the deal, and
tnatit will be used to make the con-
nection with Salt Lake. In that case
1t would only be necessary I'd construct
a little more than 100 miles of track.
At any rate the D. 81 r. G. is on the
alert. and it is evident that they are
fearful that the Colorado Midland will
encroach upon their Territory, and
they propose to head it off If possible
If we get one of these roads the other
will come too.-Grand Junction NeaUs.
CONDUCTOR CHUGG fred couple of
fellows from the Utah Central train on
Tuesday evening. When the train left
Pennington he observed both of them
running alongside the train, holding
onto the nandrail He warned them to
let GO, at the same time informing
them that they Weree liable to fall
through bridge. He had scarcely
spoken when one of the fellows dropped
out of sight, falling distance of fifteen
feet. He met both in Ogden yesterday
and says one of them presented most
woeful appearance, being very badly
battered.

DONE UP FOB A DIME.
A Very Serious Loss for a Big In
stituti0n.

Some time between dark on Tuesday
evening and yesterday morning at z,
safe-crackers entered the Office of the
Salt Lake Foundry and Machine Com
pany, whose buildings are located on
Third West Street between First South
and Second South. That they were
lily rewarded for their work, however
remains undisputed. When the work
men arrived at the usual hour yester-
day morning, they discovered that the
Office door had been forced in and the
window partly raised. Inside, the ap-
pearance of the Office confirmed the
idea that burglars had tesn at work.
On the floor lay portion of the safe
door, small piece of fuse, and the
papers and books which had been left
in the safe Oh the evening previous.
Among the litter was an old chisel,
which the fellows had either dropped
in their flight or IN disgust-probably
the latter An examination of the
safe showed that the cracksmen had
drilled hole into the safe-door i'm
mediately opposite the lock bar, and
with some kind of an explosive had
blown open the safe. The disordered
condition of the papers proved that
the safe had been most thoroughly
ransacked for litaly dime which had
been seen in the cash drawer The even
ing previous had disappeared. This,
however, was the only thing taken.

THAT PROPOSED PRIZE.
What one of the Young Men Hasto
Say of it.

SALT LAKE CITY, October 10, 1883.
To the Editor of the HERALD:
1 saw by your paper that the Fair
managers were considering the question
of giving a prize to the young man
whose judgment came nearest to that
of the judges at next years Fair. |
think this step in the right direction.
The fine stock interest should be en-
couraged, as the time of large herds
ranging over the grassy Mills is passing
rapidly, if it has not already gone. The
range industry is gradually and rapidly
giving way to the industry with the
motto, Fewer in number and better in
quality" The fine exhibit of stock at
this Fair tended TO show that, and
demonstrated to all reasonable men
who saw the display, that in such stock
lay the redemption of the stock indus
try in Utah, and the redemption is only
now begun.
The fine stock industry has been re-
tarded in its progress greatly by lack OF
information and by inexperience in fine
stock. It is with that as with every
thing else, that which is known best is
appreciated most.
10 offer this prize to young men is
right, for you can't very we'll "teach
old dogs new tricks" There are num-
Der of moss backs in our Territory, who
know nothing of fine stock, and will not
take steps 10 learn; but who, strange to
say are loudest in their charges against
it for the country" 1 do not think
there is a man in the Territory well
posted on fine stock but who advocates.
and strongly too, the use of fine stock
for impro wing our common animals;
yet | know many who would talk by
the hour to convince you that the scrub
is better than the fine animal. What is
wanted is more light, and how to get it
is to encourage the young men. will
say to the young men of the Territory,
you will not only find it q profitable
study but a deep one, and one which
will afford you great deal of pleasure.
It is study that many of the promin-
ent men of the United States have found
a good deal of pleasure in. Among
them might mention William M
Sipgerley, the great editor; Senator
Dorsey; William Warfeld; Professors
Henry Babcock and Shelton. chemists,
and Levi P. Morton. the Republican
nominee for Vice-President. and there
are thousands OF others in cattle: while
those in horses are without number, as
Senator Leland Stanford, Robert Bon
ner, Vanderbilt, etc. Let the Young
men sound the warwhoop, fall into the
line of the army of Improvement, and
they will exterminate the scrubs"

Helm The Ship.

For the DEMOCKAT.)
''EY HONOR BRICHT'"
Against the wind and over the wave
We sail the ocean blue;
But there's n'er a sail without a gale
TO try the brave and true.
The ocean charms i'll magic sprays
Lay sparkling on the sand;
But they recede in hurried speed,
To let the tempted stand.
The barque is launched, the sails are set.
Distractions course pursue;
And in vain the sailor plans to land,
And build his ship new.
Far out at sea the wrecking ship,
Which, made by nature fraiI,
With now no helm to reach the Eealm,
Can nothing do but fail.
There Was q sailor on frailest raft,
With toughest seas to plow;
But he quellcd the gale and safely sailed
To teach young seamen how.
Of this safety harbor let us learn
And seek its Sildcd shore.
FIRST, helm the ship, and we have need
TO fear rough seas no more.
