The Midland Terminal VIII be STAN

Mr.. Collbran yesterday received in
telligence which places beyond all
doubt the early completion of the
Midland Terminal as a standard gauge
line, says the Denver News. A dis
patch from Boston authorized Mr..
Collbran to proceed upon revised
plans and to push the work with all

THE sANrETE Valley.
II is Not Going to be Crushed With
ont a Fight.

President Bruback of the Sanpete
Valley was seen by a Herald man yes
terday regarding the fight that is to
be made on the two big roads who
have combined to shut the smaller
ones out in the cold. When asked
how his road expects to get along
under this hostility, he said that #
meant that he has fight on his hands
and that the people of Utah mI,st
stand behind him in it for the benefit
or home investors When asked what
is to be his plan of operations. he said
that he intended to haul freight free
all over his line to Nephi, if that he
comes necessary and hold on until
there is nothing left for him to do
He said that he has only one-thirl fhe
bonded Indebtedness of the Rio Grande
Western in proportion to mileage and
feels that he can stand the strain a.
great deal longer than the other road
II those who are interested in that
REGION he said, ARE prepared 10 al
init that the competition engenderad
BY the presence of two roads is a good
thing, they must all stand behind This
road and not ship over the other line
We will give them the best service nos
sible and see that it does not cost them
any more to send their freight out than
can possibly be helped. If the peonle
will stand behind US, we will make =
long, hard fight that must end in VIC

nent railroaders who are located theSe.
says that he has a quiet tip from one
who ought to know, that the receivers
of the Union Pacific are seriously con-
sidering the advisability of applying
for separate receivers for that part of
the line. This is because the system is
not paying SO much as it should, and
it looks as though the government
might gobble it up and the receivers
would not like to see the Oregon Short
Line & Utah Northern gobbled up
with it.
Mr.. James Sharp, resident director of
the Union Pacific, was seen yesterday
regarding this matter, but said that
he had received no word that the sub
ject was being considered and could
say nothing with regard to it.
If it should happen that this part
Of the line should be separated, conser-
vative men think that the country
would be benefited thereby as the line
could be run jim the interest of this city
and the surrounding tributary country
in a way that is not possible so long
as it is governed from Omaha.

the new rules by Chairman p. j.

A committee OF The Colorado Ma.
tional guar1 yesterday applied at
Chairman Flynns office for a special
rate to Denver for all persons attend
ing the National guard entertainment,
Jan. II, at the Broadway theatre. AS
'the committee could not guarantee
fifty persons attending from outside
points the association rate of one and
one-fifth fare could not be granted.
The books of the chairman show that
out Of similar applications that were
granted last year only twelve showed
the requisite attendance to be entitled
to the reduced rate. The new rule of
the association requires that an agent
of the association shall poll the Wis
itors and stamp all return tickets. The
reduced rate applies only when fifty
or more tickets are STAMPED.

JAPANESE IDEAS OF 1NF1DEL1rY
Soldiers in Japan Are Taught to Use
seIf-DeniaI and Self-Preservation

From the Chicago Herald.
Henry Satoh, formerly of the Imper-
Tial college of Toxic, Japan, lectured be-
fore the students of the University of
Chicago not long ago. In the course
of his remarks about f1lial duties and
the fidelity due to masters in Japan,
he said:
Especially in the lives of soldiers it
has been considered to be of prime i'm
portance to be ready to die for the
cause Of their masters at the expense
of all other obligations and duties
He was weak man who would hest
tate as to the course to take when he
found himself in a dilemma as to filial
duties and fidelity to his master
Self denial-A soldier sometimes
finds himself challenged to a duel for
some slight cause. To refuse it might
involve him in shame. Would he lose
his honor by refusing it? The sense
times no." To be an exemplary son
let him consider the grounds on which
the duel is to rest. If it be of slight
cause, which would not involve either
his master or his parents in shame,
he is taught to forget his own honor,
or, rather, the selfishness of his per-
sonal honor. He is taught to think of
his parents and master and of duties
he owes to both Of them He is taught
patience and meekness, too, and he is
required to put stronger restraint upon
his own passions-in word, he is
taught the doctrine of self denial.
Self preservation-To keep oSle's
body in good health is an important
part of the filiaI duty. Loss of health
will disable q man for 4. successful
practice of help and protection to his
parents. and, moreover, it may involve
the parents in an unnecessary anxiety
and uneasiness, which can be avoided
by possessing a healthy and vigorous
frame. An exposure to needless dan
ger is very strictly prohibited A mere
display of courage is considered to be
the n1eanest practice. An abuse of
privilege is looked down on as the act
of a coward -

The Empress of Russia's New Gowns

The twelve dresses which the town
of Lyons has presented to the empress
of Russia are: A dress of palest green
velvet, in Henry II style, trimmed with
black feathers; a dress of pale dead
blue satin embroidered with trails of
heliotrope flowers and green leaves; a
dress of heliotrope velvet; another of
pale blue MORE trimmed in such a way
with half-crushed roses that they look
as If they were lightly strewn over it;
a gown of cream-colored cut velvet; an
of sunset shades, that is enough to
make any woman who looks at it sick
with envy; also one of reddish pink,
velvety silk stitched with gold stars,
and, finally, a dress of silk that looks
exactly like silver.-New York World.

Bruin as a Fisherman.

AS fisherman the American black
bear is AN expert. He will stand in
a creek or in the shallow water on the
shores Of ponds as still and solemn as
a crane, until e fish or frog swims
unsuspectingly along near him. Like
paws, and it must be a lively fish that
is out Of the way when it falls. AS
soon as the fish is caught, the look of
solemnity on the bears face changes
to one of pleasure, and he either sits
down in the water and eats his catch
or wades ashore and devours it with
many grunts of satisfaction.-New

GEoRGE w. HEINZ IN IN.
But He Puts in Modest Denial of
All Charges.

The Denver papers say our own
George w Heintz, chief clerk of the
Rio Grande Western passenger depart
ment, and the acknowledged and I'm
rivalled poet laureate of that road, is
an applicant for the chair of general
passenger agent of the Fort Worth,
and, what is more, is likely to catch
the plum, as it is said that his appli-
cation is backed up by the strongest
kind of endorsements. There is no ques-
ton as to Mr.. Heintz's ability as he
has shown himself capable, while chief
clerk of Colonel Dodge, and also as
chairman of the Colorado Utah Passen-
ger association, the position now held
by P. j. Flynn.
Mr.. Heintz, however. with his usual
modesty, puts the matter in a different
light. When addressed yesterday by
what would be his official title, he de-
MED that he had sent in an applica-
ton for the position, and also denied
having heard anything about the mat
ter. He explained the attitude of the
Denver press by saying that they have
guessed at every available man and
at least have included him. He has
not made any preparations for turning
over his desk in the Rio Grande West
ern office yet, and does not expect to
be compelled to.
However, the friends of Mr. Heintz
will anxiously watch for developments
