A SALT LAKE PREDICTION.
the Is. & M.WiII Build Westward
from CHEYENNE or Denver.

1919 h@Aht R''
Some months ago the Tribune printed
an article relating 10 the possibility OF the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy extending
the Burlington l. Missouri River line
from CHEYENNE or Denver to Salt Lake
City. At that time the information was
received with a great deal OF i~ncredulity
by those who professed to be in a position
to know. But this morning this pap
wishes TO reiterate its former statement
and assert that the scheme Is assuming a
tangible shape and hat it is more than
likely that by July 4, 1892. the whistle Of
the 20 locomotive will be heard cross
ing the Wasatch range.
A party Of surveyors are now at work
running a line from this city to Evanston,
Wyo., for the Utah 4 Wyoming line.
The route is through the Emigration can
yon and thence on Silver creek to the
Weber river. thence to the head waters of
the Bear and down tho Bear, crossing the
Union Pacific at billiard, thence into
Evanston. One of the party was in yes.
terday and said that some OF the Union
Pacific engineers we're following them and
pulling up their stakes. According to his
statement the route IS very feasible, the
grade being only . per cent in the heaviest
place, while the best grade the Union
Pacific has is 2 2
But this is not explanatory of itself.
There is nothing in the statement to indi-
cate any action on the part of the %"
But some time ago, when the general
passenger agents OF the various roads were
on a o u through the west, Percy l..
Eustis, general passenger agent OF the
20" and e. L, Lomax of the Union
Pacific. were bantering each other in a
pleasant way about the way business
ought to be conducted in the West, and
Eustis remarked to Lonax, Wait until
w get into Salt Lake and we will show
you a thing or two" To which Lomax
retorted. Yes, Uhen you get here" Said
Eustis, II will bet you we build here in
side two years" This, of course. Is only
a straw, but the engineer quoted above
said that when he completes his work as
far as Evanston he has orders to
keep on eastward and meet
Burlington & Missouri at a point near a
stream called Turtle creek, between Green
River and Rawlins. 1t Is understood
that this party is now in the field. He
also stated that a meeting had been held
between the chief engineer of the Bur
%lington and some of the heaviest stock
holders OF the Utah & Wyoming, and
that a correspondence is being main,
tanned with a view to locating the line
and eventually turning it over to the 20"
This statement seems to warrant the
presumption that the 20" will get here
soon. Salt Lake has long been an oh
%iectiye point with the company, and they
will not leave any advantage lying around
loose. Their coming here would be one
of the greatest things that could happen
to Salt Lake.

The Hot Springs of Dakota.

These springs are randy becoming la
nous on account of the wonderful cura-
tive prsperties OF the waters, and the
many marvellous cures which have been
effected by the thermal baths.
The town and springs are delightfully."-
situated IN a picturesque valley in the
Black Hills country, Astounding in beau
tiful scenic effects and at an altitude of
3,400 feet above the sea level; thus insur-
ing a pure atmosphere and exhilarating
climate, absolutely free from malaria.
Under the enterprising and progressive
management of the Hot Springs company
many desirable improvements have been
made; among the number the erection Of
a commodious bath house fitted up with
all modern conveniences for the comfort
of guests. New hotels have been built
and comfortably furnished throughout,
conducted in first-class style and at rea-
sonabie rates. Those who prefer stopping
at a private house will find many board
ing places where good accommodations
are furnished, and at moderate prices.
The superior daily service now afforded
by the Burlington route to Hot Springs,
with through sleeping car accommoda-
tons from Omaha, Lincoln, Aurora and
Grand Island, makes the trip an easy and
enjoyable one; ard for the benefit of all
who desire to test the efficacy of the
waters, round trip tickets at reduced rates,
good for ninety DAYS, are now on sale at
all offices OF the Burlington route.

springs, and full information at to rates,

A Good Time Promised.

The Rawlins FIRE department did we'll
to secure the next tournament for this
city. The State Association is an assured
success; the first meeting at Rock Springs
proved this beyond doubt. The meeting
IN this city next year will be larger in
point of attendance. There will be more
events and more purses. Every citizen
should help the BOYS to raise the amount
necessary for purses and lend what aid
they can to give the visitors as favorable
an impression of Rawlins as the Rawlins
boys have OF Rock Springs.

GOOD LUCK

DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder is often called the
Good-Luck Baking Powder.
Owing to the fact that good luck always attends the
use of DR.. Prices, it is not essential to use it the moment
it is mixed nor is it required to have the oven always just
so, as in the case with ammonia or alum powders. 1t is not
luck after all, but the exact accuracy and care exercised in
the preparation and combination of all the ingredients of
DR.. Prices Cream BAKING Powder. Competent chemists
are employed to test the strength and purity of each
ingredient. Nothing is trusted to chance. Hence; it is
always uniform in its work.
House wives never fail to have good luck" in max
ing most delicious bread, biscuit, pastry and cakes that
remain moist and sweet. Only Baking Powder that con-
tains the white of eggs.
DIR. Prices Cream Baking Powder is re-
ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,
Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the
purity of this ideal powder has never been ques-
toned.

WHEN SHALL 1T Rain?
Melbourne Waiting the Order TO
Begin Cloud Tapping.
Conflicting Interests Conspire to
Postpone the Date.
Some Startling Theories of How
Rain is Produced.

Frank Melbourne, the rain doctor, is
ready to begin his experiments and only
awaits the order of the committee to go
ahead before he starts to work. The
committee will meet this afternoon and
decide upon the time for rain and will
probably pick out Sunday as the day SO
that no one will be compelled to lose a
days work. Geo. W. Baxter, Andrew
Gilchrist and G. p. Organ are the mem
bers of the committee.
There is liable to be some difference of
eff opinion as to the time for the rain as
all interests can not be satisfied. The
rain for a starter on the experiments is
to be a daisy, q regular flood aud will ex-
tend over a large area Of territory, and as
Andrew Gilchrist is busy hAy;ng on his
ranch he don't want any rain until after
the work is done. Mr.. Melbourne wants
to get to work at once and is rather dis
concerted as he fears that the hsying on
Mr.. Gilchrist's ranch will last
for some time. The managers
Of the shooting tourna ment and
of the races want the experiment
postponed until after those events have
taken place, but Col. Rainwater Jones,
formerly Jones Of Egbert) thinks rain is
of more importance to the country than
mere sport and will do all that he can to
bring the experiment off at once.
If all of the interested can be satisfied
the rain wizard will probably tap the
clouds either on Sunday or the first of the
week.
RAIN THEORIES.
Apropos of the coming of the rain
maker. every one is looking up theories to
account for the recent heavy fall OF rain
that the country has been worrying under.
The theories are of all sorts. and some
appear to be possible. Jack Shannon, a
shopman. has had lots of experience with
engines and understands the effect of
drauchts and suctions. He claims to
have watched the rain and has, by his
theory, always been able to tell whether
it would rain or be a nice day. His
weather cock is the big ten-wheel engines
that have recently been running on this
division.
Their exhaust is very powerful and
forms a vacuum IN the air that is i'm
mediately filed by air from a rarer
atmospheric stratum. The vacuums are
formed as the engines are speeding along
the road and. when a number are out al
the same time the suction is so great that
the moisture is precipitated from the
upper strata of the atmosphere and the
rain falls. To back his theory he says
that when the engines are not out it never
rains. Mr.. Shannon's theory is ingenious
but does not touch the next one.
This one accounts for rain on the Fourth
of July and during other celebrations
when a large crowd is assembled. 1t is
almost an invariable rule that it rains on
the Fourth or circus days and during the
races. The philosopher claims that the
perspiring OF the multitudes upon
such occasions acts as a magnet and draws
similar moisture from the clouds. The
rain falls, cools off the crowds and. as no
moisture ascends, the rain ceases to
descend. Numerous other theories are
expressed by the philosophers but as they
lack ingenuity and originality they are
not given here.

seemed as if the principal business was war. Al
