NEW YEARS SUGGESTION.

With money in the East begging for
investment in standard securities, and
rates of interest continually falling,
1t is only a matter OF a short time be-
fore capital in large quantities will be
turned loose into speculative channels.
Never was their a time SO favorable for
the launching of a successful railroad
from Salt Lake City through Deep
Creek to White Pine, as the present.
The same energy that was displayed by
MIR. A. c. Cleveland and his associates
In 1891 and 1892 would now without
doubt be crowned with success.
Salt Lake capital is already interest
ed largely in Deep Creek and can be
depended upon to subscribe literally for
q railroad TO that point; the Glasgow
& Western Exploration Co. can be de-
pended upon to use both money and in
iuence to continue 1t to Cherry Creek;
and the authorities OF Utah and Nev-
ada can be depended upon to grant i'm
munity from taxation for 9 period u
years and other necessary favors. An
Air Line railroad to the Coast could be
launched only by one Of the great rail.
roads with terminals already in Salt
Lake City, such as the Union Pacific or
Rio Grande Western; but we can see
no reason why a local railroad, like the
Utah & Pacific now building from Mil
ford to Stateline, cannot be started out
this way from Salt Lake City, II the
proper steps are taken to interest men
with money.
The first two questions a prospective
investor will ask are: "What is the ma
ture OF the country and the difficulties
In construction to be overcome, y and
What are the u of the coun-
try to be tapped and the probable vol
m OF business that can be depended
upon?" The first Of these questions
has been sufficiently answered in the re.
ports OF the engineers who have thor
onghly surveyed the route, which has
been shown to be both practical and
reasonably free from heavy grades. 1t
Is to answer the second question that
the people of White Pine county should
bestir themselves.
As organized effort Is generally more
successful than individual effort, why
not get out OF the old rut Of passive
waiting that we have been running in
30 long, and organize a White Pine
Improvement Association, for the pur-
pose OF advertising our mineral and ag-
ricultural resources both by a liberal
use OF printers ink, and by personal
representatives. Such an association,
If joined by one hall of the men in tho
county, could easily raise sufficient
funds to start the ball to rolling. This
is not a new idea but has been tried sue
cessfully in California, Colorado and
other parts of the West. We submit
1t as an idea worthy of the considera.
ton of the people of this county as they
enter upon a new year.

For pinching smaller boys.

Remarkable Lake.

The most remarkable body Of water
in the world lies in the vicinity of the
Colorado river, in southern California
In this region of ugly volcanoes, DESC
late wastes and Shiny swamps, the
strangest phenomenon of all is what
the naturalists call "lake OF ink. +"
No other description fits as well.
The strange black fluid that forms
the lake bears no resemblance to water.
The pool of ink is situated about half
a mile from volcano. 1t is about an
acre in area. The surface is coated with
gray ashes from the volcanoes to the
thickness of about six inches, thus con-
cealing its real nature.
Experience has proved that the black
fluid of the lake is not poisonous. It
acts as dye, and cotton goods soaked
in it keep their color for months, even
when exposed to the sun. They also ao-
quire stiffness similar to that produced
by weak starch. The fluid has been
analysed, but its component parts have
not been made known. AS to the source
of the supply of the lake, nothing def
mite has been ascertained. 1t is undoubt-
eddy of volcanic origin, but nothing
more definite is known.
This is bad land that has never been
traversed. Human beings have tried it,
but they never return to tell of their ex-
perience or their discoveries. Louis

An italian Pensnnt.

The Poletti's little cottage stands in
a field and is semidetached. Like many
of their class in Italy, they have great
love for and pride in their home. The
furniture is we'll polished, the tools and
utensils arranged with an attempt at
decoration, and all is clean and neat.
1t is two roomed house. On the ground
floor is the kitchen, where the boys bed
stands under the stair which leads to
the upper room. Here are two large
beds, one for the parents, the other for
the two girls. ...s -l1 ,
In the kitchen stand q walnut wood
table and sideboard of antique design,
an heirloom of the mothers; a walnut
chest holds the bed and table linen and
another old chest the best clothes; the
everyday clothes are kept in chest up
stairs. They try to add something every
year to the house linen. Sometimes the
mother and daughters beg the use of a
little plot of ground, which thpy sow
with fax, and the year following they
spin and weave it themselves, borrow
ing loom from a farmer. Their stock
compares favorably with that of the
better off English cottager, to say moth
ing of the quality of this homemade
linen compared to that bought cheap at
country shop.-Fortnightly Review.

mynterle. Of sound.

Many Of the manifestations OF sound
are still complete mystery 60 science.
One of the best architects in New Or
leans remarked the other day that a
building with good acoustic properties
was always a lucky fluke. and that it
was impossible to Re absolutely certain
in advance. Sometimes a trifiing al
teration will do the work---the dimen-
sions of an arch are modified by an
inch, corner is made blunt, a slight
obstruction removed, and, phestol a
whisper becomes audible.
There are old seafaring men in this
city who can tell strange stories of fog
sirens and bell buoys heard now for an
incredible distance and again not heard
at all when right at hand. There would
be nothing about the air or weather to
account for such variation, but the
naked fact was indisputable, and the
phenomenon is at the bottom Of many
an otherwise unaccountable wreck.
Near the center of the city is clock
that strikes the hours ON a deep toned
bell. Sometimes the note may be heard
almost to the suburbs. On other days,
or rather other nights, it is inaudible
outside radius of half dozen blocks.
Oddly enough, the bell seems clearest
and its tone most penetrating in turbu-
lent weather, irrespective of the direo-
tion of the wind. New Orleans Times

Titles For Sale.

The only state in which the sale of
nobiliary honors IL open and legal is,
strangely enough, a repu blio-the tiny
Italian republic of San Marine, of the
existence of which many are unaware.
You can get a title in San Marine on
application-and payment of the fee,
which is not always the same for the
individual honor-and the proceeds are
used for the support of the national
founding asylum. You have the salts
faction of knowing that you have per-
formed an act of charity, but you will
get little more than that for your
money. San Marine distinctions do not
count for anything outside the state and
for but little within it.

RnreAt bird.

To find the rarest bird in existence
you must go to the mountains between
Anam and Loas, where there is a GER
tain kind of pheasant.
For many years it's existence was
known only by the fact that it's longest
and most splendid plume was in much
request by mandarins for their head
gear.
A single skin is worth $500, and the
bird living would be priceless, for it
soon dies in captivity.-New York
