BRIDGE ABANDONED.
Dale Creek Gorge On the Union Pa
cific to Be Filled Up.
Especial Correspondence.J

Especial Correspondence
Laramie, Wyo., May 15.-Among
other important changes and improve
ments along the line of the Wyoming
division of the Union Pacific. which
will be made in the near future. is the
filling in of the wide and deep Gorge
at Dale Creek, on Sherman mountain,
thirty-five miles east of here, which
is spanned by a steel trestle. 135 feet
high and $40 feet long. This bridge is
a very expensive thing to the COM
pany, watchmen are constantly ON
duty there, and owing to the fact that
all trains must run not faster than
four miles an hour over it, much time
is lost in the running time and consid-
cradle expense entailed by the use OF
pushers.
During the recent trip of inspection
over the road of General Manager
Dickinson and Chief Engineer Berry
of the Union Pacific, considerable time
was spent at Dale Greek. where the
officials carefully inspected the ravine
to determine whether it would be adj
visable to make fill there. II is given
out here that. while a decision il the
matter has not been reached, it is
highly probable that the bridge, which
has never been considered very safe
proposition, viii be abandoned. Inc
work of filling the chasm will require
several months time and the eXpendi-
ture of many thousands OF dollars.
Work is being rushed out on the line
of the cut-offs between this place and
Dana. Between 2.0C0 and 200 men are
now employed and, as there seems to
be some doubt as to whether the cut
offs can be completed by Oct. 1, this
force will be greatly increased during
the next few days. Medicine Bow,
Dana and Wyoming stations are BOOM

RUSSIA CAUSES ALARM.
Demand For New Railway Concession
Is Resisted.

Pekin, May 15.-The Russian demand
for a new railroad concession, con-
Meeting Pekin with Russia's present
railroad system in Manchuria, is still
exciting the gravest anxiety here. The
chief Chinese officials are having con-
slant consultations with the dowager
empress. 1t appears to be the general
opinion that it is intended the line
should start from Kirin or Mukden,
and run direct to Pekin by way of
Shohol.
The Germans and Japanese are par
ticularly uneasy on the subject of this
unexpected move on the part of Rus
slams. and it is said there is a feeling
among the prominent Chinese that the
moment has come to make every effort
in the direction of securing British
sympathy and aid.

The dawn is gray.
And nights dark shadows fade away:
Sing low, sing sweet. the lullaby,
The little one lies still and sleeps.
While softly through the easement creeps
The light of day,
And night winds whisper ere they die
The lullaby
Would we could tell
What happy thoughts and fancies dwell
As baby's cradle rocks away;
Wide open are the dear ones eyes,
An unknown world before them les
Yet come what may.
The mother weaves her tender spell.
And all is well.
And morning brings
The soft unfolding of the wings.
The steps of tiny feet.
The prattle none may understand
Save those who dwell in baby,and;
While lips repeat
The nursery songs of childish things
That mother sings
The Moons bright rays
Shine down on books and childhoods
And vanished. one by one.
Are ragged dolls and broken toys.
While now is heard the fun and noise
When school is done.
And yet We miss the baby ways
OF other days
Inc tide Is nigh,
And on life's stream the sunbeamS lie,
Then comes "A tender strain
OF happy music. soft and low
Love guides the frail bark to and fro
With sweet refrain.

And happy is the coy nest
Where love is king.

Yet dear ones cheer the onward way
With happy song;
And love stIl reigns while shines afar
The evening star.

And old age waits with folded hand
