I'm addition" say the Railway Age,
there are several hundre miles OF
road on which track-laying is now in
progress or is just beginning. and there
are many hundred miles more graded
on which track will not be laid until
next spring. Altogether, the coming
year gives every promise Of being one
Of far greater activity In the matter OF
railway construction than the year Just
closing. - There are many important
lines projected in different sections OF
the country, and the Indications point
to a good deal of building by trans
continental roads in the way of cut-ofs
and branch lines to develop new terri
tory. most OF which Is in the extreme
northwest, where there has been little
new mileage added in the last few
years. The outlook has not been better
for 10 years"
From the information obtainable at
this end yesterday, says the Salt lake
Herald. 1t seems that the change of
time on the Rio Grand Western. to
connect with the Portland n Montana
trains of the Short Line. has not alb
solutely been decided upon. Reports
from Denver, however, indicate that
the change will go into effect. The re-
luctance of the officials here to make
the announcement is probably due to
the 1dct mat the WtsttTn WHILE the
Short Line to alter its schedule so as
to give one more hours time for the
ogden connection. The Shor Lin is
unwilling to grant this connection, and
IL Is no secret that the Western notified
the latter that they would not attempt
to make the connection under the
schedule as advertised to go into effect
on January 3.
The Western people are standing pat
on this proposition, and IL Is asserted
that. unless the Short Line agrees to a
| compromise, the Western will not make
Is OF much less Importance to the latter
whereas the benefit to the Short Line
would be of greater Importance.
The Short Lines Portland train Is ad-
previously pointed out. this will neces-
state a shortening Of time in the ar
rival of the Rio Grande Western No. 1,
now getting in at IL 80 p. m. by over
three hours, and this means that some
fast time would ave to be made. The
Western ain are now running at a
pretty good rate of speed. and IL the
change Is inaugurated the connections
east of Denver will have TO shorten
their schedule time.
The schedule now being figured on
by the Western Is to have No. l reach
Ogden at 10:45 a. m. and No. 3 to arrive
at 11:45 u. m This may, Of curse. be
changed before the new schedule Is fin
ally announced.

There Is little doubt now but that be-

Company will be applied for this week
An engineer will be here the first OF
next week to look over the route and a
corps Of engineers will be at work with

the company to get the material here
this fall so there will be no delay in
building the road as soon as possible in
the spring.
For years there has been talk OF cleo
trio lights in Reynoldsville, but it has
always ended in talk. The coming OF
the street car line will give the town
an excellent opportunity to get cleo
trio lights. Surely we have walked
in the darkness long enough. All our
neighboring towns have electric lights,
and we should not be behind In that
respect. II we would be a prosperous
town we must be up-to-date.

Taylor and her excellent company won
place in the hearts Of the theatre

assure the company good audience at
any future time they may visit this

ed acting, which is noted for its natur-

atfectation, one OF her chief charms is
the refreshing and delightful person
ality she imparts to the various roles
she assumes. The magnificence OF her
wardrobe and exquisite taste in dress

many If any, on the American stage. The

count of being unable to use their
