country just as surely as the government

with, and that right quickly.

1t appears that the Burlington is not
losing any time preparing for its en-
tensions in this state which are plan
LEI for next year. North, asst a nd
for some weeks there has been a party
of its mineral men in the Elk mountain
country. Just what route the road will
take going acros the state toward the
coast is still a matter of some doubt,
though the general belief here is that
the road will pass about 80 miles north
of Laramie and cross the Union Pacific
in the vicinity of Rock River. There
are many reasons for the belief that
there will be a branch line, or a north
and south line into Laramie.
A dispatch from Kaysville, Utah,
states that the party of Burlington sur
veyors that has been working in that
vicinity for some time have left there
for Granger, Wyo. They have with
them a complete camp outfit for field
york. What this signifies may be left
to the imagination.
The Cheyenne Leader says that the
Burlington has made wonderful pro-
gress in the construction of its new
line from Toluca, Mont, to Cody. Wyo.
This has been assisted by a remarkable
run of fine weather. So far has the
grading work progressed that track
laying has already commenced far in
advance of the time expected by the
company. So certain is the Burling-
tor o of the completion of Its road
in the nea future that it has contract
ed for the transportation of the wool at
Cody on or before July 18th next.
incidentally, here is more informa-
ton about the Union Pacifc's plans
for Echo Canon. The Republican a few
days ago quoted an interview General
Manager Dickinson had with the rep
resentative of a Denver paper in which
Mr.. Dickinson said positively that the
talked-of cutoff through Echo canon
would not be built. The Leader fol-

A gentleman who has just returned

Mr.. deuel. expressed himself as greatly
pleased with the improvement made in

before it took two engines to haul $50

Relative to the Echo canon work,
Mr.. Deuel. said the company has not
let a contract for the construction of a
new cutoff. but will improve the road
through Echo and Weber canons by
eliminating the heavy grades and re
verse curves. This work will cost
about 81 200 a mile. From Ogden to
Castle Rock a grade of not over sixty
feet to the mile will be made and from
Castle Rock east not more than nine.

PROMINENT PIONEER OF
CARBON COUNTY is DEAD.

The Hon. George c. Smith, a Rawlins
pioneer, died suddenly yesterday morn.
ing on a Union Pacific passenger train
lear Carr station. 20 miles south of
Cheyenne. He was on his way home
from the hot springs at Pueblo, Colo,
where he had been taking treatment
for rheumatism. He was accom-.
panied by his daughter, Mrs. w. l..

eblo that Mrs. Evans decided to bring
him home to Rawlins. He did not sur
vive the trip. The funeral will be in
Rawlins tomorrow.
Mr.. Smith was born in Blair county.
Vile. He enlisted in a Pennsylvania
regiment at L%incoln's first call for vol

GROVE
is NOT IN THE COUNTY JAIL IN
LARAMIE, CHARGED WITH
THEFT.
edge of the Geography of Wyoming
Leads to an Amusing Mis-appre-
ACKNOWLEDGMENT Received from
Omaha This Morning.

If Pat Grove, who is thought to have
been the leader OF the band that kid.
mapped the Cudahy kid in Omaha, had
the legendary Seven-League Boots
and the Invisible Cloak, he could hard,
ly be in more places at the same time
han he is now with the assistance
only of his wits and imaginative detec-
tives.
The latest information is that he is
in the Laramie jail, held for some
crime of theft. How he got here and
what he is acre for and how long he
will stay here are matters not contain
ed in the statement. This morning a
telegram came from Omaha to Lara
ME, to this effect:
is Pat Grove in Jail Laramie charge
theft?"
Nobody could be more surprised at
the query than were the county officers
here. They racked their brains to be
certain they had not overlooked a bet,
and reached the conclusion that every
inmate of the county Jail is known so
well, and his history is known so we'll,
that by no possibility could any of
them be Pat Grove. But how did the
people in Omaha get the notion that
Pat Grove is here?
Now there is where the dreamful de
tective got in his work. He is a Den
yer detective, of course, which ac-
counts for a great deal. Witness this
little item in the Denver News of yes
terday:
Detective Len De Lue OF the county
sleuthing force, has a bunch that Pat
rick Grove is innocent OF the kidnap-
ing OF Eddie Cudahy. He believes that
Grove is in the Laramie, Wyo., county
Jail awaiting trial for attempting to
jewelry store in Sheridan a few weeks
ago. The case was Investigated to
some extent by Chief De Lue, who Sc
cured descriptions of the two men ar
rested for the attempt jewelry theft.
One of them corresponds to the archi-
lecture of the noted crook. His method
OF operation, too, DeLue says, were
those of the man suspected of the Oma-
ha job. Consequently the chief boots
the idea that Grove had any connec-
ton with the case
Now it is not difficult to see how the
his dream. The Denver papers have
published the fact that Sheriff Yund
of Albany county went north Il few
days ago to bring back a horse thief
who was captured in Buffalo. At about
the same time another crook did a pref,
ty piece of work in snatching a tray of
diamonds from the show window of a
jewelry store in Sheridan. This was
a job not unworthy of the great Pat
Grove, and fired with the thought of all
this it is not remarkable that the de.
tective brain got a little muddled not
only OF the details of the two cases but
on the geography of Wyoming. De Lue
evidently thinks that Sheridan and
Buffalo and Laramie are about fifteen
miles apart, and probably sees nothing
strange in having Sheriff Yund ride
something like five hundred miles by
rail from the southern part of the state
to the uttermost northern part to
bring a man who stole diamonds in
Sheridan down here to Laramie for
trial.
Look at the map, Len, look at the
map!

IMPROVEMENT IN CABLES.
Prof. Pupin of Columbia University
Describes . New Method of
e. Construction.

DR.. N. I. Pupin, of Columbia univer.
sity, recently prepared for the Amer
lean Institute of Electrical Engineers
in Philadelphia n paper in which he
described a method for constructing
cable, or an air line circuit, over
which IL would be possible to tele-
phone from New York to London
through a submarine cable made on
the principles announced. In the cur
rent issue of the Electrical Review
DR.. Pupin says that telephoning
through transatlantic cable is easily
possible, though OF doubtful prac-
ticability. 1t is not, perhaps. com
mercial possibility, nor would there
be a very great demand for use OF
cable for this purpose. The real ad-
vantage for this invention lies. he
thinks, in its application to teleg-
raphy. The speed of signaling can
be increased, he says. from five i'm
pulses second to 800. That would
multiply the capacity of an Atlantic
cable about 800 times, and make IL
possible for the rates on cable mes
sages to be cheaper than postal
cards.

wH1TNEY's DRIVER ARRESTED
noyinE situation for Mr. whit
Asy and His Son.

William c. Whitney and his son.
Harry Payne Whitney, went to the
races at Gravesend the other day in
their automobile. When they left the
track their machine was nowhere in
sight, and after searching for the
driver for an hour, n policeman told
them that their unoccupied "auto''
was standing in the cycle path and
that the driver was a prisoner in the
Coney Island police station.
They arrived at the track early in
the afternoon and instructed their
driver, Fred Rankin, to be at the
track entrance when the races were
over. Rankip started out to kill time,
and the smooth bed of the cycle path
tempted him, and he went toward
Brooklyn at rapid rate. He was
turning around to return when a po-
liceman told him he was violating the
park ordinance in riding on the cycle
path and took Rankin to the station,
where he remained until Mr.. Whitney
bailed him out.

HOW NATIONS DIVIDE TRADE.
Germany saA Uaited states share
Nearly Alike Bat Are Both
Beneath EAglaAd.

OF the SIS 100000 worth of commerce
done by all the nations of the world,
Englands share is 1873 per cent, Ger
many's los per cent. and 81 per cent.
falls to the lot of the United States. So
states United States Consul Winter at
Annaberg in a report to the state de-
partment comparing the relative posi-
tions of the three leading countries in
the trade markets of the globe.
Germany" he says, "has built up
her foreign commerce at England's eN-
pense, and the United States. just en-
tering the field. is building up great
foreign trade at the expense of both
England and Germany. In Australia,
in Africa. in South America and in
China the commercial representatives
OF each nation are fencing for vantage
ground upon which to build safe mar
kets for home industries"
Germany's success in competing in
the field Of commerce with her might
ier rival, England, Consul Winter at
tributes to several conditions In the
first place, he says. German manufac-
tured goods are cheaper and, in some
cases. better. Then. too. German mer-
chants adapt themselves entirely to
the wants of their customers, and in
dustrial commissions have been sent
out to South America, South Africa,
Mexico, Japan. China. etc. to study
and report upon the conditions and
needs OF the peoples of those countries.
Again. German travelling men are su-
perior in the technical knowledge of
their various branches and are familiar
with more languages than the repre-
sentatives OF other nations. Their ef.
ficiency in these lines is due to their
training in special institutions in Ger.
many.
