The New Horse Trail On

J M Shswhln says there Is great fu- ture for the country over which the Lew lliamna hcfse trail courses. The horse trail Is but the forsmnn,r of the railroad, which will come sooner than the public expect.

 The trsil begins at St. Michaels and s several connections for Nome, with sled lines. From St. Michael it crosses the by to klickataeik on the shore eighteen miles distant, where a small d. vide leads over 10 a branch of the GOlsopla River. This branch Is traversei 10 its jun. .tion with the Golsovla. where another low divide is crossed to the Arwik River, down which the trail leads 10 Anvik, where lhe river flows into the Yukon, l26 miles distant from St. Michaels.

NEW HARBOR
Convenient Northern COaling Station for Oriental Trade.

A recent discovery of coal on Chignlk Bay, about 200 miles east of Unlmok Pass, may be the means of affording an advant- ageous eoallng station for government and mercantile ships in the carving trade with the Orient.
 The location WIS made few years ago by A. E. Dckerman, of Seattle. In 1900 the government ship Egbert visited the locality and the captain reported favorably upon Chignik as a practical harbor. Since then the Chignik Blv Coal and Fish Co. has done considerable work in de- velopment.
 The!most direct route from Seattle to the Orient, lies along the Aleutlan islands, Chlgnk is only about 30 miles off the di- rect course. Vessels ean sail direct from Seattle to the bunkers at Chignik, then turn south 50 miles to their true course to Asia. The coal is right on tide water.

ual details have not been given out,
but it is Intimated that the Southern
Pacific fully intends to build its cut
of into Salt Lake instead of carrying
out the former Lucin-Ogden scheme,
in which the piling of the lake figured.
The principal expenditures, however,
aside from the two cut-Offs and the
Los Angeles extension, will be in a vast
reduction Of gradients and the eradi-
eating Of the short turns now frequent
along the route westward.
Salt Lake win be the central point.

ward over the Vanderbilt lines which
connect with the Hartman system
here. Having two points of embarka-
ton, or, rather. debarkatiOn, the Har-
riman lines will be in shape to make
fast runs from Salt Lake eastwards,
where the road is in perfect condition.
The Union Pacific official said in
closing his announcement: That
means an active attempt to come into
hot competition with the J. J. Hill lines
for the business in the northwest, and
two years more viii see a bitter con-
fiict between the two interests. The

q. P. Has Not Settled on Emigration
Canyon Route.
Advices from Omaha are to the effect
that It is doubtful whether the Union
Pacific will come into Salt Lake via
Echo and EmiSrant canyon or from the
mouth of Weber canyon. The dispatch
from Omaha Friday containing the
semi-Ofhcial announcement stated that
the cutoff would be built from Echo.
A message from Omaha yesterday
stated that. while the decision had been
reached to build the Union Pacific into
Salt Lake this year, the route had not
been settled. and that there was a
chance of the original plan Of building
from above Uintah across the Farming
ton being carried out.
No final decision viii be reached
without further surveys being made
however. The descent from the sum-
nit Of the Wasatch mountains into
Salt Lake is steep, and the simplest
route would require heavy Erades-that
is, grades heavy for a main line. Care
full surveys may show a way to over
come this. but until they do there will
be prejudice in the minds of the
Union Pacific officials against this
route. 1t saves more distance than any
other, but the grades in several places
form a great obstacle.
On the other hand, the route from
the mouth of Weber canyon across to
Pennington and thence into Salt Lake
via the Oregon Short Line would afford
easier grades, although a more cir
cuitOuS route Even this would cut off
a large amount Of distance across the
continent.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ia meeting
w of the committee of the western
senators and representatives who
have in hand the formulation Of a gen.
eraI irrigation bill was held in Senator
Warren's committee room today. The
following states were represented:
Arizona, California, Colorado, South
Dakota, Nevada, Oregon, Washington,
North Dakota, Wyoming, Kansas,
Idaho, Utah and Nebraska.
Several members of the committee
desired to amend the bill before sub
hitting it to the general caucus of
western members. Those favoring an
amendment said the measure had been
severely criticised in both the east and
west and should be put in as perfect a
form as possible before submission 10
the general caucus.
Additional discussion followed an
amendment offered by Martin Of South
Dakota, proposing that one-half of the
receipts of land sales in each state
should be used for irrigation purposes
within the respective states from
which it was derived. The balance,
| the amendment provided, might be ex-
pended in any state selected by the
secretary of the interior.
Mr.. Martin contended that the IS 600. =
GOO which would be available annually
/ for irrigation purposes, if placed in the
hands Of the secretary would proba bly,
be expended in some one or two large
enterprises and many smaller meritor-
| iOus projects in the several states
would he neglected. Mr.. Martin re-
| scented the charges of the eastern press
| that western states are not to be
/ trusted with funds for the work of
/ irrigation or with public lands. In
! his state public lands placed at the

| diciously and rot a dollar of the pro-
ceeds had been diverted to wrong use.
