an occasional contribution OF some
such encore gem as THE Last Rose
of Summer and in all she indicated
the true. soulful. skilled and refined
artist. OF the members of her COM
pany the one who made the pleasantest
impression is Mr.. Douglas, the tenor,
who has a high, true, ringing voice,
but who impresses one as not yet hav-
ing quite mastered the art OF how best
to use it. The soprano, Miss Methot,
has a sweet, clear soprano voice or
good range, but without great fire.
She, too, made q pleasant impression.
The pianist, Mr.. Wesley, executes with
al admirably precise and clear-cut
touch and his selections, too, showed
the artist.

FOUND DEAD IN HIS ROOM.
JAMES REID, A MINING MAN,
PASSES AWAY.
All Indications That Death Resulted
From Natural Causes.

James Reid, mining man, was
found living dead in his bed last even
ing. The circumstances, as usual in
such cases, were of a character to war
rant the holding of an inquest, and one
may be held. today, though there is
little doubt about death being caused
by heart failure.
Reid was q man about so wears of
age and unmarried. He followed the
life of prospector for some time, and
was a partner Of Mr.. j. T. AlSy, re-
siding on Fourth South, near State
street, in some mining property at
Mercur. About three months ago Reid
rented a room at 347 East Second
South street, and there he cooked his
own meals and slept. His room was
not large and located in the attic of
the building The people downstairs
knew little about him, as he was a
sober man and attended strictly to his
own business.
Yesterday morning it was noticed
that Reid did not come downstairs, and
about 10 o'clock the LADY of the house
raped at his door, which was locked,
but there was no response She then
thought he had gone out. In the even
ing however, he was not noticed re-
turning, and surmising that something
WAS WruIS. she sent lOl OlAiNSA "Oti.A
son, who forced an entrance to the
room and then discovered the occupant
was dead.
Reid was lying on his cot in the cor
ner of the room. His face bore no in
dications of a struggle, and there was
nothing except a whisky bottle upon
which to base an-r suspicion that he
might have ended his own life.
In his pockets were found $lO.62 IN
cash and some papers showing who ne
was Justice Sommer was on the
scene in a few minutes and had the
body removed to Evans undertaking
parlors. Judge Sommer thought an in
quest might be held today.

SHORT LINE IMPROVEMENTS
DURING THE VAST YEAR.
Three Hundred Thousand Expended
The Pegram Bridges-Prospects
For Railway Building This Year.

I 1t is announced from the Boston
headquarters of the Short Line that
$500, 600 was expended during the past
year in improvements on the Short
Line. The roadbed was placed in as
good condition as that OF any western
road. Eight iron and steel bridges
have been erected by the Union Paci-
| fics engineering department. These
bridges and their lengths are as fol-
lows: American Falls 900 feet; Indian
creek $50 feet; Boise river, $50 feet;
second crossing of Snake river, 1850
feet; third crossing of Snake river,
/, 100 feet; Payette, 450 feet; Weiser, $50
feet, and fourth crossing of Snake
river 500 feet All of these bridges are
in Idaho. They are regarded as super
ior pieces of engineering and all en-
body what is known in engineering
circles as 1.-The Pegram truss" truss
designed by Chief Engineer Pegram OF
the Union Pacific.
EQUIPMENT OF THE ROAD.
The equipment of the Short Line has
not materially varied during the past
year. At the beginning of 1896 the
equipment of the Short Line & Utah
Northern road was as follows: Pas
Se0Ser cars, SldDUdTU SduSe, ~, AclA :
row gauge, "a; freight cars, standard
gauge, 4,206; narrow gauge, 527; road
way cars, standard gauge, SO; narrow
gauge, s; total car equipment, stand
ard gauge 4,316; narrow gauge, 500.
Locomotive equipment as follows
Standard guage, 122; narrow gauge, 3.
A greater part of this equipment has
gone through the Omaha shops during
the past several months, and has been
placed in the best condition. All of
the equipment has been turned over in
good shape TO the purchasers of the
Short Line. With improved roadbed,
new steel bridges and the rolling stock
in the very best condition, the Short
Line is turned over to its new owners
in good shape and all ready to earn
them large dividends, says the Omaha
Bee.
The amount of the capital stock of
the new company is fixed at 60,000,0 900,
which is represented by 100000 shares
of stock of the par value of 500 each

Building Outlook as Viewed by the
Railway Age.

Chicago, March 1S.-The Railway
Age tomorrow will publish the pros
poets of railway building in 1897. Its
summary of railroads under cOnstruc-
ton or projected gives 800 lines and a
total mileage of 17.511. If 20 per cent
of this prospective building is accom-
plished it would mean nearly as much
new construction as had been co;nplet-
ed in the lastTtwo years combined. Al
though the Indian and Oklahoma ter
ritories show the greatest projected
mileage, 1917 miles, there is not much
work actually under way at the pres
ent time, financial provision not hav-
ing been made for the greater part of
the mileage. Most of the Texas lines
aggregating 1865 miles are placed in
the same class, although grading is
already under way on several roads.
