After experimenting with other guns of
and inch caiber the Pneumatic Gun
Company has produced 15-lnch guns.
These are 30 feet long, placed at fixed
angle of Is deg. and throw prolectiles
containing from 500 TO 800 pounds oil ex-
plnsive ge1atine and dynamite one mile or
sub-caiiber projectiles containing 100 or
200 pounds of explosive up to 1000 yards.
The projecties are discharged by conf
pressed air at pressure of about 1000
pounds, which gives an initial velocity OF
about 500 feet a second. The trajectory Is,
of course, very much curved. The most
valuable feature of the system is the
electric fuse. which Is entirely the inven-
lion of Captain Zalinski, so constructed
that the projectile may be exploded upon
entering the water. or by delayed action
explode ct any desired depth beneath the
surface.
The dynamite gun is not intended to
displace the service powder guns. 1t is
really torpedo gun affo riding a safe means
of throwing shells which are virtually
torpedoes charged with large amount nf
the highest explosives through the air to
considerable range and with accuracy. Ii
the chances of dropping its projectIlc att the
desired spot are only fair, this, when
successfully placed, will secure results
that no other single projectile or torpedo
can produce-the probable destruction OF
anv warsbp yet built.
The projectiles cannot be fired with
charge of powder, for the shock OF the
detonation of the powder would certainly
cause premature explosion sof the car
fridge. together with the destruction OF the
gun and great danger TO the persons en-
gagged in its manipulation.
One of the advantages of the dynamite
gun is that 1t can be built in any we'll
equipped shop in comparatively short
time. The six which are to be ready next
summer are being manufactured at the
expense of the Government, Congress hav-
ing made an appropriation for that pur-
pose.

MOLLIE'S LOVER.

Hour after hour and minute after minute
the road had become more and more dim
and uncertain, and as darkness set in

pletely lost, hungry and tired, with no
prospect in view but to spend the night
without any shelter in the open air.

Again and again the cry came through
the darkness, and it was only by sheer
desperation that managed to rise to my
feet. the better to enable me to look about,
and If possible to discover the source from

eyes looking through the darkness, but /

The articles of incorporation of the

Yesterday filed in the Office OF the county
clerk of Weber county at Ogden, having
reached there Sunday. They are duly
certified by Secretary of State Barber OF

capital stock is placed at SIC, 200, 900 and

The articles state that the company is
formed for the purpose of building and
operating a railroad line or lines in Wy
oning and Utah, and that the terminal of
the main line shall be at Casper, Natrona
county, Wy, and Ogden, Weber county,
Utah. The route is named as running
from Casper in a southwesterly direction
to Alcova Hot Springs, Natrona county,
Wv. which is to be the principal place of
business; thence in southwesterly di-
rection through the counties of Natrona,

BITS OF INSIDE HISTORY.
The FanderbiIts Determined TO Extend
TO the Coast.
How Jay Gould Kept Them in Check-Th'
Three Links of the Extension-No
Change in Union Pacific Time
Railway Notes

s,Vanderbilt is back of the the Deep
creek road,' said man who is never
short of railroad information, far in ad-
vance of authentic sources, and he bases
his prediction on inside facts relative to
the extension of the Northwestern from
Casper, Wy.
ssThe Northwestern, - he said, lis not
building to Salt Lake city to stop there,
but with view to reaching the coast.
You know it was Jay Gould's ambition
to control line reaching from the At
lantic to the Pacific, and that, on several
occasions, he attempted to secure New
York connection. Every effort he made
was ihwarted by the joint efforts OF the
New York Central, Pennsylvania and
Baltimore q Ohio roads. But it was al
ways the Vanderbilts who took the initia-
five in these obstructive measures
and they used the bludgeon to
knock Gould out of his scheme
to reach New York. Whenever
he would make an aggressive move LOOK
ing towards an encroachment on the cen
trails territory, they would retalIate oy
threatening to build to the Pacific When
Gould7s health failed him he was anxious
to have his western roads as free from IN
reference as possible, and it was this fact
that brought about compromise; Gould
agreeing to stay west provided the van
derbilts would not enter into his western
territory. This allowed the Northwestern
to extend into Wyoming, but they could
not build to Salt Lake without breach
of the agreement.
e'Now that Gould is out of the way, and
the Trans Missouri gone to pieces, the
territory is open and the Northwestern IS
at liberty to build where it likes. Ii Is
almost certain that the road will come TO
Salt Lake, and it is equally reasonaple 70
believe that it would not be built TO TINS
CITY and remain dependant on the Central
Pacific for such share OF the coast trade as
c. P. Huntington would please to give 1t.
1.-The Union Pacific, armed with the
Short Line, reaching all the oregon ana
Washington cities, would enjoy such an
advantage over the Northwestern that it
is not presumable the Vanderbilts would
endure this state of dependence at all.
The only theory consistent with business
sense is that the road which has been
talked Of SO much in San Francisco is to
become part of the Northwestern and
that the Deep Creek line will be taken IN
as a railroad link of this great trans-con-
tinental line. The delay in the hackers OF
the Deep Greek road has been for the pur-
pose of allowing the Northwestern time TO
effect the necessary arrangements Tor
pushing work on the entire line, and 1t
can be set down that the Deep Creek road,
when bailt. will be IN connection with a
lire to the Pacific. This is the clue to the
81 per cent. of the Deep Creek stock which
is held in trust for persons In New York

Dimensions of the Buildings for the
Southern Pacific at Ogden.
Superintendent Knapp of the Salt Lake
division of the Southern Pacific, returned
to Ogden Sunday morning from Sacra-
mento, where he has been for three days
in consultation with the head officials Of
his company regarding the shops which
are to be erected in Ogden Acting upon
his suggestion, the present car chops will
be enlarged by an addition on the north
end of the building, the dimensions OF
which viii be 40xl25 feet. The main ma
chine shop, yet to be erected, will also be
enlarged, so that when completed Its
measurements will be 94x254 feet. The
perfected plans should reach the head
quarters of this division this week, IN
which case work on the excavations Will
be commenced at once, the weather per-
hitting. There are now on the ground
nearly $4,000 brick, and the company will
today begin the construction OF SPECIAL
tracks for the accommodation OF the brick
cars.
