THE BANQUET.
There Was Great Joy at Harmony
Hall Last Night.

Harmony hall was the scene of gaiety
last night. 1t was much better lighted
than usual, the decorations we're
quite pretentious. Colored paper was
festooned from the ceiling and several
Chinese lanterns were displayed. A long
table was placed in the center of the
room. The benches were on either side
and round the room. In the early part
of the game an obsequious vinegar faced
female in red was at the door. She
scared way so many people that Cadet
Harvey was detailed as ticket taker. The
entrance fee was ten cents. A meal much
better than usually served at such places
was to be had for two bits. Good ice
cream and cake was ten cents more.
Members of the army were assisted by
obliging Cheyenne young ladies who
made charming Mattresses. The banquet
was a high grade festival. There was no
music but the Misses Smith sang 1.-THE
Ship That Never Returned" very ae-
ceptably.
A beauty contest was a feature of the
banquet. Mr.. Hopkins, a narrow blonde
was adjudged the best looking male while
Mrs. Long was awarded a cake as the
handsomest woman present. MIR. Hop
kins received a bouquet.
Capt. Stacey displayed considerable
managerial ability and seemed to enjoy
the affair. Demure Cadet Gribben worked
like a beaver. AS THE LEADER reporter
was about to depart he was insulted by a
big, coarse. featured female looking for a
fight, but there was no trouble.

Secretary Gilchrist OF the Nebraska
railway commission declares that in his
opinion the new Pacific Short Line is in
the interest of tie Illinois Central and
Southern Pacific roads. Mr.. Gilchrist
says:
THE Union Pacific has long had in
contemplation the completion of a line
from the Southern Utah terminus at
Frisco to Los Angeles. Now such a line
would avoid some Of the mountain grades
and really tap the great fruit producing
region Of California, which furnishes vast
freight trtfic to the Union Pacific to the
coast, through Portland, Oregon, and
again at Los Angeles. The territory OF
the Southern Pacific would be greatly cir
cumvented and so a new field of opera.
tons is sought after. While the South
ern Pacific may be greatly indebted to the
government, it is a rich company in its
outside lines and can spend some funds in
this new enterprise. The Illinois Central
is also a strong corporation and the COM
pletion of such a line would make a short
through line from the coast to Chicago"
The new enterprise has the exclusive
right of way through South pass. this
side of Ogden. Mr.. Gilchrist recently
said that as he saw the situation the line
could and would be built in the near fu-
ture. He pointed out the probable

HERO OF THE RAIL.
A Strange Accident and How il Re-
suited in Death.

All over the great Union Pacific sys-
tenn operators are talking of the heroism
OF William Dixon, a section foreman on
the Oregon Short Line, who July Is
found a rail in the track, about one mile
west of the snow shed, which is about five
miles'west OF Soda Springs, Idaho, which
was out of line on account of the pressure
of the other rail With one man named
Kelly to help him, he undertook to re-
place it with a shorter rail. They had re-
moved the spikes from the inner side OF
the rail, and Dixon took a claw bar to pry
the rail out of its place. As soon as the
rail was relieved from the pressure of the
other rails, it sprung as if it was made of
spring steel to a distance of fifteen feet,
striking Dixon and breaking both of his
legs below the knees.
There he lay, both legs broken. a rail
ont, a passenger train nearly due, and
only me man to help him in his misery
and warn trains in time to avert disaster.
He ordered Kelly TO get the hand car on
the track and help him upon it, and with
the broken bones protruding through the
flesh. he started down grade, which at the
point spoken of is heavy and with moth
ing but a shovel to push himself along, he
set out to meet the men from the next
section, while he sent Kelly on foot in the
other direction to meet the passenger
train. Dixon had to go about three
miles before he met the men he was seek
ing, and it was about three hours before
he could have his injuries attended to,
One leg was then amputated and there
were hopes of his life and the other leg
being saved. Later, however, it became
necessary to amputate the other leg, and
his death followed on the afternoon of
July Is.

A VERITABLE EDEN.
A New Arcadia in the Salt River
Valley.
Rich Soil, Plenty of Timber, Water
Fruit and Game.
Surveyor ZONES Says it Should be
Made a Park.

A government surveying party in
charge of Frank H.. Jones, of this city, is
dividing the beautiful Salt River valley in
Uinta county into townships and sections.
A member of the corps writes under date
of July % to a Cheyenne acquaintance a
description of a portion of that grand Sec
ton of the public domain.
The surveyors are camped at Fish lake,
an alluring sheet OF water in a beautiful
little valley surrounded by hills covered
with fine timber. This place is a verita-
BILE Eden. Rank grass is three feet high.
All sorts of wild fruit is abundant. Ma.
ture was in a prodiGal mood when this
section was created. Nothing that could
be added would improve the place.
Mountain trout are found in the little
streams which occur everywhere, while
game is very plentiful. Deer and elk are
too numerous for the hunter who enjoys
trailing. They bound from every clump
of bushes, browse in the woods and drink
at brooks and lakes in view of the sur
veyors who find life in the region very
pleasant indeed.
County Surveyor Jones, who has tray
eled through some fine country in his time
is lavish in his praise of the Salt River
valley. He thinks it should be set aside
by the government as a game preserve
and national pleasure ground. While
geysers are absent there is a wealth of
sublime scenery and many peculiar for
nations. Sulphur springs OF large area
from which flow a discolored stream are
found nearly in the center Of the valley.
Their medicinal qualities are noted
throughout that section. Territorial
G~eologist Ricketts, has attested the min
eral worth of the deposit, having tested
specimens of the sulphur at his laboratory
in this city.
Salt River valley is occupied by 1000
Mormon squatters who have broken land
and raised fine crops. The land is being
surveyed at their request and when this is
finished many will secure title to their
farms. Their produce is hauled a long
way to the Oregon Short Line an dshipped
quite a distance. Still, on account OF the
remarkable fertility of the valley, they are
well-to-do. These people have schools
for their children and churches. OF pro-
~gressive spirit they have made comfortable
homes for themselves in the face of many
difficulties. If the valley were made a
national reserve these Mormon c~ultivators
would be amply remunerated.
The postofhce address OF Salt River
valley people is Montpelier, Idaho.
