Rio Grande, at O'Clock this afternoon

will leave Westcliffe each morning at
7:3O o'clock, arriving at Texas Creek
two hours later and connecting with
train No. . for Denver and other points
on the line of the Denver X Rio
Grande. Train No. from Denver will
reach Texas Creek at 4:o5 p. IN. each
day and will make close connection
with the branch line. The distance to
the mining camp is reached in two
hours, but after the track becomes set
tied the time may be greatly short
ened.

Work has been in progress for many
months on the new line and difficulties
have been overcome that In earlier
years OF railway construction In thc
mountains would have been looked
upon as insuperable. Much OF the
roadway has been blasted out Of the
side OF preclpitous mountains and the
cost has been SO great that tkc' con-
structlon was DELAYED for years on
that account Twelve or fifteen years
ago there was branch railway eN-
toI:iing from the Arkansas river to
Silver CHI, two miles east Of West
cl,ffe, but the road was completely
washed out by great storm and was
never rebuilt. Ore coming out Of the
camp has been hauled thirty miles and
vast bodies OF low grade which could
not pay for transportation are await
Ing the advent of the railway. II was
TO reach these ore bodies that the road
was projected. The distance by the
Texas Creek route Is about twenty
five miles. The old branch was thirty

Sunday Gavin managed to get
whisky. He became Intoxicated, his
wife says, and returning home abused
her.
She called at the police station and
reported the matter to Chief Arm
strong. She said that her husband had
beaten her numerically and had
threatened to kill her. Her face was
bruised and her eyes blackened.
There were several black and blue
marks on Mrs. Gayin's neck, indicating
that she had been choked. She said
she wanted her husband arrested, as
she feared that II he remained out of
Jail he would carry out his threat to
kill her.
Five years ago, while Charles Gavin
was serving a term in the peniten-
tiary Mt Canon City on the charge Of
burglary, his wife obtained divorce
from him. She afterwards married an
other man, but the marriage was not
a happy one and the couple separated.
When Gavin calletNat the police sta
tion few days ago he said that It was
his Intention to marry his former wife
again. or course she would have to
get divorce from her new husband In
order to carry out this program, but as
he had deserted her this was not re-
garded as difficult to accomplish.
Gavin kept sober for several days.
1t was thought that he had really re-
nounced his evil life and had intended
to reform.
Gavin is forty-five years of age and
Mt DrpSput has the npDpnr1ncp of n

coat and striped trousers. This, with
n black hat and full beard, which is
parted In the middle, gives the safe

overcome that were almost insuper-
able. The present route is built with
no grade greater than two and one
half per cent. and is said to be n mar
vel Of railway construction. 1t leads
near the tops OF commanding noun
tains and the scenery Is equal to any
presented from Boreas hill or the
famed Marshall pass. The valleys
along the route are among the most
fertile In the state and 1t Is expected
that shipping will greatly encourage
mining development. Scores of partial
ly developed properties are on the line
of the road or in its immediate vlcln-
ity and for months the work of de-
Velopment has been progressing ylgor-
ously. At Westcliffc, where several of
the famous mines, as the Bassick and

promises 10 expand into one OF the per-
manent fourishing miniD. communl-
ties. As Wet Mountain valley Is open
ed by the new line. one of the most
thriving grazing districts In Colorado
is reached and Denver men who are
interested In the region are jubilant
over the outlook. The ores which are
produced from the mines in the lmmc-
date region of Westcliffe and Silver

Preparations are also being made for
the opening OF the new branch from

Crestone. The line 10 Crestone Is
twelve miles long. and Cottonwood. n

to be reached by the railway. 1, Is
thought the line will be in operation
within month. AT present the work

A teacher in the Boys High School OF

This method. instead OF being based on

more OF an honor to gain prize for

SANFORD B. DOLE AGAIN
HE ACKNOWLEDGES RETURN OF
HIS OWN LETTER.
The Houses Plant is Calmly Ignored.
Tramways Franchise Bill Has a Sue
cessor-American Laborers.

The Tramways franchise scheme will
not die in the House Bill number 35
has been killed, but 1t is to have sue
cessor, fathered by Prendergast, who
fought as best he knew how for the last
bill He gave notice yesterday that
he would introduce an act to provide
for the construction of street railroad
by the Hawaiian Tramways Company.
Until the bill apears the men who
knocked the other bill don't know what
kind of a cinch the mule cars will have
in the new measure but about l6 repre-
sentatives have their axes ready.
Governor Dole, in another very short
letter signed Sanford y. Dole" ack-
nowledged receipt of his own letter
which the House returned to him as
mot in proper shape" The executive
sticks to his own style of signing his
name and he did not give the house any
reply to it's kick. AS a matter of fact the
house motion declaring the letter out of
shape did not say why, and in these
days of fine distinctions 1t is possible
that the governor las an official" didn't
know what was the matter with his
missive. Nothing was said when the
letter acknowledging the returned let
ter was read in the House. 1t was up
to some one to move that the acknow-
Judgement also be sent back as it's
shape" corresponded with that of the
original letter.
The House has not changed the gov
errors style of signing his letters and
it seems that it will have to come off it's
perch of what Beckley called dignity,
or send back all Dole's letters till the
end of the session.
House Bill Number Sc which was in
tended to provide that none but Ameri-
cans should be employed on public
works came up for consideration and
was at once buried under an avalanche
of amendments, some trivial and some
unconstitutional. 1t was found impos-
sible to get through them and the bill
went over until today, with speeches
about it still unmade.
Attorney General Dole replied to the
Monsarrat resolution calling for the
Andrews Brown Overend letters. Dole
promised to try and get them. He had
written to the high sheriff recommends
ing the production of the correspon-
dence, not because the House had
right to it, but as a matter of courtesy,
and Brown would write to the other
men about it. Dole's letter appeared to
hold out hope that the letters might
come in at about the end of the ses-
sion-if no one objected to making them
public. which appeared to be a slim
chance-and the matter was tabled.
