as is the custom, and I thought every
thing was all right. But about

FROM sound slumber in my berth by
someone shaking me- 1 looked UP,

with ice water. I knew that pre-

and was just congratulatiug myself
when the conductor came up with
another passenger.

the next morning when we had alight-

good to keep, ] made clean breast of
it to the physician. He laughed.

said. Then he laughed again and
looked about him cautiously.

$500 over the same week of last year.
In view of the fact that this was con-

that the earnings would show a much

Local officials of the Short Line who
were seen in regard to the above dis
patch last night declined to affirm or
deny its truth. It was evident, how
ever, that the news was not surprising
to those who stand near the head of the
company.
The project referred to as the Gus
ter line" is the road from Biackfoot to
Houston. which was surveyed about six
weeks ago. At the time the survey
was made The Herald announced the
fact, and uu0n reliable authority as
serted that an early move would be
made by the company looking to actual
construction work. A couple of weeks
ago Traffic Manager EcCles made a trip
over a. portion of the route and stop
ping off in salt Lake only "A few hours
on his return. FASTENED on to New
York to meet with the directors. The
final determination to build seems to
have been reached shortly after his re
port was submitted. The line is des-
tined to prevent the Burlington from
invading that country to the Short
Lines detriment.
The belief exists here that within
thirty days a new company viii be
formed TO build the new road, a sepa-
rate corporation being imperative I'M
der the law, and that by the time win
ter breaks up construction work viii
begin. AS The Herald previously stated,
the route of the new line is northwest
from Blacizfoot to the point called
Houston. which is the center of the
Lost river region. The distance to this
point is ninety miles, and it is only a
question of time before the road viii
be extended on to Salmon City.
By reaching Houston the Short Line
taps another rich mining country.
There is gold, silver. lead and copper
enough there to assure a big traffic

The estimated cost Of the new road
is about 81 000, 900.
It viii not be an easy line to build.
While a splendid grade can be obtained
most Of the way, there is some dis
lance where the track must be laid

cult engineering problem. It is expect
ed that the road viii be open to use by
