FINISHED TO SUNSET.

A Number of Boulder People Enjoy the
Hospitality of the c. s n. W.
+ Yesterday was the anniversary of the
start on the new railroad to Ward. En-
gineer Frankeberger and his corps of
engineers year ago began the survey
of the scenic line from Boulder to the
mining camps. BY a coincidence the
rails were finished yesterday into Sunset,
the terminal station of the old Greeley &
Salt Lake road which was washed out in
1904. The gangs, however, did not pause
in their work, but continued to press on
to the ultimate goal, Ward. From Sun
set on begins the great climb over the
hill into Left Hand, and no greater engi-
neering triumph exists In Colorado, the
home of engineering wonders. 1t is pre-
dicted that the Colorado & Northwestern
will attract thousands of tourists annu.
ally to view its wonders, and casual
survey of the route seems to substantate
the prediction.
Coincident with the anniversary of the
beginning of the road, an excursion was
run yesterday afternoon to the end of the
line. A number of Boulder business and
mining men were invited and made the
trip for the first time over the new road.
A question of right of way rendered
visit of the company's attorney and offic-
ials necessary and as a special was need
ed to convey them to the scene, pleasure
was combined with business and num-
Der of citizens were invited to enjoy the
hospitality of the road. Among those
that went up were E. C.. Thompson, S. A.
Gihin, J L. Frankeberger, Guy Duncan,
M. F. Leech, James Cowie, Mr.. Lee, John
Pugh, Frank Davis, J. L. Moorhead.
Capt A. Coan, c. H. Smith, T. J. Sipple,
Henry Stevens, M. D. Morrison, A. F.
Safely, Dickey, Kearne, Henderson, J.
S. Switzer, ]. H. Nicholson, Jamie and
Frank Gifin. Gene White, Ralph Leech
and several others. The train started at
1890 and returned at 6 o'clock.

SELDOM'S THREE-DAYs' RUN.
Hard Experience of the Cat of the Old
Alaska, Which Lived and
Died n Sailors Death,

Seldom was the name of cat on
board the old sloop of war Alaska. His
full name was Seldom Fed. Its sig
MITIGATION is sufficiently explained with
out further explanation.
Seldom was, for a cat, most intelli.
gent one. He belonged to the petty
officers mess, having been brought off
by member of that mess one night
inside the shirt of the tipsy boat
swain's mate. Seldom was nearly dead
then, a weak, starved kitten, but he
soon got well and grew big and wise
on bareback. salt horse and plum duff.
He knew his master, usually slept on
the foot clews of his hammock and al
ways stood watch with him, sometimes
walking up and down the deck with
him, at others cooled on the tackles of
the gun by which the boatswain's mate
paced up and down continually. Sell
dom rarely went on shore, but when he
did go there was high old time; his
was always rough liberty.
| remember once his going on shore
In San Francisco, after having been on
board ship for four months. 1t was his
first visit to the city-and the last. Yes,
he came back after a three-days' run.
One eye was closed and bleeding, one
foot he could not put to the ground,
something had bitten his tail; all over
he was sears and bruises. Seldom was
decidedly the worse for wear.
He got on board ship, noticing no
one, and no one noticing him to speak
to him, though everyone looked at him.
He was helped by his owner, the boat
SWANS mate, up to the top of the en-
CINE hatch, being too much bunged to
jump up, and theie he lay. like any old
drunken sailor, for "a hours. Then Sci.
dom joined his mess, ate his meals and
In due course of time got well.
What became of him? He was
drowned. Seldom had a way of going
out on the muzzle of great gun and
sitting near the extreme end to enioy
the cool breezes of the tropics and
watch the side of the ship as she bowled
along the sunlit seas. One day the shin
gave iurch, and that was the end of
Seldom.-N. Y. Herald.

count. A feast and council was pro-
posed, and invitations were sent by
means of runners to all parts of the In
dian domain.
There were Indians who had burned,
slain and tortured just out of natural
depravity dancing about on the same
floor with capitalists from Chicago and
San Francisco, soldiers, ladies, frontier
men, miners and a couple of globe trot-
tiers. Everyone had to dance. The ETH
quette was explained to all, and it was
made evident that if they chose to be
present and take part they must OBJ
serve all the demands of the occasion,
for refusal might imperil the lives of
all. The dance was accordingly very
democratic. Whoever the Indians asked
to dance with them responded with a
similar assent.
On the following day solemn confer
ence was held at which the valuable
right of way was obtained from the In
dams on favorable terms.
