NEW LINE SURVEYED-2G7 MILES
SHORTER THAN OTHER
ROUTES.
Survey Has Occupied a Year-Interest-

Colorado-President Resigns.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 11.-After more
than a years work. surveys have been
completed for a new line from Den
yer to Salt Lake. By the route as sur
veyed. the distance between the two
cities is 2G7 miles less than by any of
the roads yet constructed. and the max
imum grade encountered is only 2 per
cent.
This information is based upon care
full and thorough examination of the
route to be traversed by the new line,
and the plans are pronounced by eX-
perts to he the most elaborate ever
shown in the west. The maps are com
pIeLe in every detail, and it is claimed
that the information concerning the
country through which the route pass
os is astonishing, even to Colorado
men. who thought they were well-in-
formed as to the resources of the state.

from the public, and the surveys have
been accomplished with so many safe
guards that very few outsiders have
any definite knowledge of the under
taking.
According to a wt!l-known financier
who has looked over the plans, the
project is perfectly feasible, and may
be put into successful operation dur
ing the present year. The syndicate
having charge of the preliminaries is
now ready to present the plans to east

that a movement is now on foot in
Washington for action by congress to

LOST CARS ARE RECOVERED.
The 1000 Belonging to the Rio Grande
Found by Tracers.

The Denver & Rio Grande railroad
freight cars built for it last summer at
the car works in J~effersonville, Ind.
The cars were very much needed dur
ing the fall and early winter, but few
of them were on hand for use by the
owners because other roads had the
first chance to use them. 1t was ar
ranged with Chicago roads to send
the new cars west with loads, thus
saving the necessity of paying freight
rates on them. A few came through
at once. Others struggled in several
weeks later, but many never did come
and it was necessary to send agents
to trace them. The Rio Grande was
not the only road on which there was
a car famine, and the code or railroad
ethics is not SO strict that it is an I'M
%pardonable offense to lay hands IN any
car that will carry a load, no matter
to whom 1t may belong. So, when the
bright new cars found their way to
any OF the middle west RAILROADS., tney
made use of them for local traffic, for
getting that the instructions were to
load them only with goods bound for
Colorado points.
The Rio Grande now has enough
cars to enable it to discontinue almost
wholly the use of the borrowed cars
of the Colorado & Northwestern, which
have caused so many wrecks on the
road.
There is still something Of a car
famine, though the seasons rush Of
business is practically at an end. The
car service agency at the Union depot
finds use for all the IA that can be
supplied.-Rawlins Republican.

of the immediate descendants of the de-
ceased greatly depend upon it. Hence
the selection OF a place for the interment
becomes a matter Of serious concern, and
the professor" Of flung shue" is sent for
and consulted. Even after interment II
is very common thing to remove the
remains to some locality where the flung.
shue" is supposed TO be more favorable.
There lives a Chinese shopkeeper in
Chingkiang who had the remains Of his
deceased father removed four or FIVE
times before finding a place that was
deemed lucky"
This superstition is not confined to the
common people. On the contrary, it
seems to pormeate and influence every
grade and condition of society, from the
meanest cody 10 the highest mandarin.
The civilized world knows that there
are 1000 900 OF so called Boxers in
China. who are insanely hostile toward
foreigners and who have displayed this
hostility by most barbarous acts, but few
seem to know the exact reasons which
have impeled the Celestials TO such san
culinary deeds. As a guide in this direc-

record OF the many religious emblems,
symbols, statues and paintings which
were collected by Prince E. Uchtomsky,
the distinguished Russian scientist, dur
ing his recent travels in the east.
The prince tells us much that is new
about religious life in China and the
strange gods that are worshiped in that
country. OF this worship a cardinal fea-
ture is a belief in the doctrine OF rebirth
or regeneration, and another feature, al
most II not quite as important, is the be-
lief that under all circumstances the ut
most reverence is due TO ones ancestors
Hence among the Chinese deities is god
OF the dead, who is supposed to safeguard
the interests of persons after they leave
this world, and there is also a god Of
hades, whose duty is to punish the wick
ed and TO reward the good.
This latter deity it is said, was once a
great criminal himself, and on account Of
his sins he is still bound TO swallow a
certain quantity of molten metal every "a
hours. In spite of his peccadilos on
Earth he is highly honored by Cinnamon,
Bince they know that as supreme lord Of
hades he can mete out to them either
most dreadful punishments or most de-
sirable rewards, the latter always taking
the form of fortunate rebirths.

You should Visit Them.

OF the resort sections of the country, few
of them are more widely known than the
White Mountains region of Northern New
England. The main features that have
brought this section to the foreground are
its magnificent scenery, its exhilarating at
mosphere and its social qualities. OF the
first mentioned, some of the more widely
known features, outside the Presidential
Range and Mount Washington, are in the
Crawford, Franconia and Dixville Notches.
Each contributes far differing attractions,
any single one of which is we'll worth
seeing, though taken together they present
series of natures workings unlike those
to be found anywhere else. There are
wonderful rock formations like Table Rock
in Dixvile, and the sold Man of the
Mountain" and the Flume; then there is
White Horse Ledge and Elephants Head
and Crystal Cascade and 1.-THE Basin" and
Echo and Profile lakes and Lake of the
Clouds. These are but few of the inter
esting sights to see.
As you know, the Boston & Maine rail
road traverses this great Mountain Vaca-
ton Region, and the Mountain literature
issued by the Passenger Department com
prises an enchiridon of New Hampshire S
