The opening of new Alpine railway

nounced. 1t is the highest railway in
the Alps and commands magnificent
views. It is 1851 meters (7,S36 feet
high at the summit level, and ascends
1852 meters 5000 feet, or sixty-seven
meters (223 feet higher than the Pilatus
railway. The journey occupies an hour
and half. The gauge is 0.8 meter
The line is q pure rack and pinion rail-
way on the Abt system, and Is similar
in construction to the Monte Generoso
railway.
The steepest gradient is one in four
that is, less than the maximum Pilatus
ascent. The railway has been built in q
remarkably short space Of time; it was
begun so recently as the LIST Of October,
1890. No fewer than ten tunnels were
bored; numerous streamlets were
bridged and heavy stone dams had to
be erected. Iron.

Game Warden Taylor came in recently
from the lower country, where he has
been kept busy driving the Indians ont
OF that section. Mr.. Taylor reports that
the Utes have been playing sad havoc
with the game, slaughtering wherever
they could. He was very indignant
over it, and from his version Of the mat.
ter he has good reason to be. He states
that from the Iron springs divide to Yell
low creek it is impossible to travel a
hundred yards without finding the bod
les Of deer lying around, and in most
cases nothing but the hides and brains
have been taken, the brains being used
by the Indians in the process of tanning.
On Blue mountain and in the Lilly park
sections the rotting carcasses can be
seen, while on Snake river they are SO
thick as to absolutely poison the air
Warden Taylor estimates that since
the deer began to travel down the Utess
have killed between 5000 and 5000 Of
them, and what makes matters worse
the major portion of them are does and
fawns, the bucks always remaining in
the upper country till later in the fall. -
