TIE RAILROADS

The next big move in railroad circles
will be the incorporation under the laws
of Utah of mammoth Denver & Rio
Gfande incorporation, to cover the Utah
Colorado lines. which are to be formed
INTO one system. which system is to be
part of the greater Missouri Pacific sys-
tenn, says the Salt Lake Tribune. At
this time 1t is impossible to give the
capitalization. The Colorado Utah lines
would make 4,150-mile system, which
would be managed by one set of general
officers at Denver. with traffic and OPP
Grating offices at Salt Lake.
The report that papers have been sign
ed between the Oregon Short Line COM
pany, which is part of the Union Pa
cific. and the White Knob Copper COM
pany. limited, communicating a contract
for the construction of about 100 miles
OF railroad has been confirmed. This
road will run from a point near Black
foot, on the Butte branch of the Short
Line, to Houston, located in the central
part OF Idaho. The district has been
the scene of extensive mining opera
tons for the past AZ years.
Advices from ST. Paul today tell of the
arrival there of a Great Northern spe-

There are IA carloads of oranges, con-
slstlng of SOS boxes, and one carload

A CHANGE In PLANS

SAN FRANCISCO, April 27.-In con-
sequence of advices received from Cen
eral Macarthur in the Philippines, stat
ing that no more men or animals were
needed in the islands, the transport Of
ncials will not send the big steamer
Samoa to Manila with horses, as was
intended. The Samoa will therefore
carry only freight, and is expected to
carry SOoO or 10000 tons. The date of
her departure has not been fixed,
The transport Sheridan. now out five
days from Manila on the way to this
port, is scheduled to sail from here on
June LIST The Lawton to sail before

RATE WAR THREATENED,

SEATTLE, April 26.-The Alaska
Steamship Association, embracing the
four lines from Sound ports and two
from Canadian ports, trading with
Southeastern Alaska, came to an end
today. The principal cause of the rup-
ture was the demand of the Canadian
llnes that the American members re-
train from competing for Canadian
business. This was refused and the
dissolution resulted. A strong cut in
rates is looked for as an immediate re-
suit.

Faithful Shepherd Dogs.

A. L. Hotter of Helena, Mont, who
is largely interested in the cattle and
sheep industry in that state, says very
little loss from cold or exposure has
resulted. though last October a cold
spell killed several sheep herders in the
Great Falls district, one of whom was
taking care of Mr.. Holter's fOcks. saws
the Portland Oregonian. At that time
two feet of STOW covered the range
in places, and the thermometer indi-
Gated 40 degrees below zero. The herder
was frozen to death on the prairies
while caring for the sheep, and it was
three days before his fate was known
to his employers. Two shepherd dogs
were with him when he died, and one
Of these stayed with his body while
the other attended to the sheep, just as
though the herder had been with him.
The dog drove them out on the range
in the morning and back again at night
guarding them FROM wolves and pre-
venting them from straying off. Neither
dog had anything to eat during the
three days vigil, SO far as could be as
certained; but the $500 sheep thrived
as well, apparently, as though directed
by human agency

SIGNS OF A GREAT OIL BOOM
SEVERAL WELLS SUNK IN BREN-
MING BASIN, WYo.
Two Pennsylvania Syndicates With
Unlimited Capital Are Said to
Have Become Interested.
Gnecial TO The HeraIdl

Douglas, Wyo., Feb. 1O.-Douglas is on
the eve of an oil boom, and unless all
signs fail there viii be a large num-
Der of companies operating in this dis
trict before the end of the coming
summer. The Superior Oil company has
been at work in the Brenning basin for
over d year. Several wells have been
sunk, and the results have been more
than satisfactory.
Manager Straup Of the Superior COM
pany returned a few days ago from a
trip to Pennsylvania. where he inter
ested two syndic3tes in the Wyoming
oil fields. The Pennsylvania companies
will be on the ground with complete
oil well digging rigs and outfits some
time between now and next August.
They have unlimited capital, and mean
to learn Just what a. in the local fields.
The Superior company, whose rig
and property was burned a. few weeks
ago has purchased an entire new out
fit. and will resume operations at once.
The La BOnte Oil company has pur-
chased new machinery, and viii drill a
well near the Phillips ranch as soon as
the tools and machinery arrive.
