other branch will start from Sage
creek going to Lowell, thence past
Staleys ranch, thence over to and
along Coon creek, past Germania and
Burlington, at which point a division
will be made; thence OH up the Grey
Bull to Meeteetse, there branching,
one line going on up the Grey Bull

stopping point. Taking the back track
to the hereinbefore mentioned Sage
creek point, another branch will start
out, coming across Dry creek, past
Jack Dilno's ranch, thence ''on to
Otto" will be the war cry. Arriving
at Otto the road will stop until it
builds on farther. The old Central
House will, in the meantime, be used
for a depot, and until further arrange
ments, or until the COWS come home.
Excursions will be run every 30 days

HOW SENATOR DAVIS
GOT HIS BIGGEST FEE

washington Spe. Chicago Times Herald.J
Senator Davis was one of the great
est and most successful lawyers this
country has known in generation. He
laughingly told me of the best fee he
ever earned, and the queer way in
which he earned it and made his client
pay it.
Il had case" said the senator, ''in
which 1 secured judgment for $1,000, 900
against a man, and he was good for it.
There did not seem to be anything for
him to do but to pay. But it CHANGED
that / was released from the plaintiffs
service, and was brought in on the side
of the defendant. l carried his case
my own case, as it were-tO the ap-
pellate court, knocked $3.50 600 off that
judgment which / had been at so much
trouble to secure against him, and fixed
it so that $3.50, 900 could never get into
court again. This was pretty sharp
work, and naturally my client was de-
lighted. He came around to see me
with his face wreathed in smiles.
" Splendid. splendid! he exclaimed;
and what is your fee-Tu give you
check for it right nOwI'
Fifty thousand dollars, said l.
d" Fifty t-h-whatH he exclaimed,
nearly jumping from his chair.
" Fifty thousand dollars said 1,
and you may consider yourself lucky
I did not make il $780, 000.'
III never pay it'll never pay it,
said my client; it's an outrageous bin.
Fifty thousand dollars for three or
four months work. and heaven only
knows how msny other fees you have
had in the same time, not saying any
thing about the S25, 600 you got for get
ting the judgment against me in the
first place
% See here, my friend 1 exclaimed,
getting warmed up a bit. let me tell
you something. For thirty years
have been working and studying and
sitting up nights learning how and get
ting myself into shape for doing just
such things as this. I've saved you
$3.50, 600 of a judgment which you ought
to pay, and which you are able to pay,
and my fee of $50 900 is a most rea-
sOnable one. If you say another word
I'll make it 100000, and if you kick on
that I'll make it $3.50, 000-and you'l
pay it. too-yOull pay it, damn you,
you'll pay Ia
He did pay it," concluded the SEN
atOr with a chuckle. for he gave me
a check for $4,000 before leaving the
| room. That was the best fee I ever
earned"

UTAH's FORWARD MOVE.

II ABROAD PROJECTS and rumors
II of projects to 5e executed in Utah
fiji the air Following Senator
Clark's announcement OF a plan to
build from the Pacific to Salt Lake,
come other announcements of less tan
gible form, but all indicating an in
terest in this region that BODIES we'll for
the future of the city and state.
The latest stories have two sources.
One is that the Santa Fe and Southern
Pacific viii unite in constructing
line from the Santa Fe in California
TO the coal and iron beds of Southern
Titan. The other is to the effect that
the Denver & Rio Grande is to build
from Grand Junction to the coal fields
in the southeastern part of the state.
Both undertakings have an appearance
of verify, because they are practicable
on their face and would afford a source
Of revenue that would justify the ex-
pense involved.
The Southern Pacific scheme is more
open to suspicion than any of the 9TH
ers, because it has been the policy of
that road to discourage other builders
by promising construction in the same
field whenever il seems necessary TO do
so.
This time. however. it is hardly likely
that the Southern Pacific could hope
TO gain much by such a plan. Senator
Clark and his associates are not likely
to pay much attention to any rivalry
on paper unless it shows material de-
veIopment in the field. Even then it
is certain they can well afford to go
ahead, because they viii be in position

the success Of their road in the face Of
any competition they are apt to en-
counter.
The encouraging feature about the
situation is that Utah seems certain to
get the connection with the coast
which has been a hope with the people
of the state for so long. The conditions
are all favorable to a forward move
ment here. such as no other state in
the Union has before Il.

HANNA's LAST REFUGE.

Al P HANNA'S EFFORT in behalf
wi Of the ship subsidy steal is note
worthy in many respects, but in
none more than its attempt to assume
an air OF virtue. Mr. Hanna in his
senate speech declared with great
unction that he and his fellow pro-
moters were actuared by none but the
Purest, most patriotic motives. Mr..
Hanna is doubtless familiar with Dr..
Johuson's definition Of patriotism as
the last refuge of the scOundreI, and if
he is, he must be conscious of its pc
culiar fitness in his own case
He does not deny that he and a
number of other wealthy ship-owners
will profit by this same steal. He
knows. or should know. that the chief
benehciarfes of the bill, will be the
Standard Oil company and concerns
identified with it. Even his own col
leagues. hardened as they are to the
distribution OF public funds for private
profit, baIk at the hagrancy of the rob-
berry in this case; and in their oppOsi-
ton lies the cOuntry's only hope of the
biirs defeat
Mr. Hanna's personality is CT con-
sequence in this matter only as it
typifIes the controlling forces of his
party-the forces that regard public
office as an opportunity for private
gain: that count party success valu-
able only as it offers a promise of i'm
mediate individual profit; that care
nothing for great governmental princi-
pies if they conflict with the hope of
loot gained through legislation.
It is one of the encouraging signs of
the times that the best men of the
party in power realize that Hanna and
his class are obnoxious to the rank and
file Of their own organization. and that
their late triumph is sure to be dis
astrous in the end if Hanna and
Hannaism are given the free reign in
congress.

SOCIALISM AND LABOR.

q ~OCIALISM AS OPPOSED to trades
Unionism got setback in the
american Federation of Labor
Thursday when the matter came up for
vote on resolutions offered by the
Socialist representatives. Apparently
the conservative delegates identified
the resolution with the political propa-
ganda in the interest of Debs and his
allies, for the vote against it was
largely based on the idea that the
Federation should have no political
affiliations
However that may be. the vote is
significant. In Great Britain and on
the continent. the laboring men have
formed the backbone of the socialist
movement, finding their orators among
their own people as we'll as among the
theorists and philosophers who believe
in naturalization of all Industry. The
American wOrkingnan, on the Their
hand, declares that the socialist move
ment Is impracticable and refuses to
be led away from his effort to soIidify
the ranks of labor through the trades
union organizations that appeal to him
most as effective weapons in the battle
Tor higher wages and better conditions.
He prefers an immediate, att Unable
object to what seems a visionary
though beautiful theory-and like the
practical citizen he is he repudiates the
theory.
