oGDEN-LUCIN CUTOFF.
Late President Huntington's Plan Will
Go Through.
(By Associated Press.)

Salt Lake City, Utah, Feb. ia con-
a committee from the Commercial club
of this city and party of railroad OFF,
clals. consisting of President Burt of the
Union Pacific, General Manager Krutt-
schnitt of the Southern Pacific, Chief En-
gineer Berry of the Union Pacific, and
Chief Engineer Hood of the Southern
Pacific.
At the meeting which was arranged
by Mr.. Kruttschnitt at the request of
the Commercial club, arguments were
presented by business men of this city,
favorng the construction by the South
ern Pacific company of line around the
south shore of the Great Salt Lake in
stead of the Ogden Lucin cutoff.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt is quoted as inform
ing the committee that the advantages
and disadvantages of both routes had
been thoroughly investigated by the en-
gineers of the company and they had
finally reported in favor Of the Ogden
Lucin route.
Earlier in the day the railroad officials
In that city and heard statements favor
ing the Lucin cutoff.
The idea of the Ogden-Lucin cutoff
originated with the late President Hunt
ington OF the Southern Pacific.
The construction Of this line will ne
cessitate the building of many miles of
trestle over the lake, but will result in
shortening the road about 40 miles and
elimination of some of the heaviest
grades along the line.

the Milk river valley. Colonies are being
organized by the Great Northern I'M the

The influx of settlers in the spring will
add materially to the Importance of
year thousands of settlers were brought
West by the railroads, but Montana was
passed by. and many new citizens were
added to the population of Washington
and other states.
This year. however, the Great North
ern railway is to bring many settlers to
Montana and for the most part they
will find homes in the Milk river valley
For many years the great expanse of
grass covered hills of Northern Montana
have constituted a free and open range,
but 1t is now necessary for sheep or cat
tlemen to own their own range and re-
strict their pasturage to a more limited
section.
Havre Is Prospering.
Several organizers have been at work
In Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio pro-
noting colony schemes. and many tons
of literature exploiting the agricultural
possibilities of the Milk river valley have
been distributed through the states
named. ~
The settlement of the valley will make
Havre a distributing center for large
territory.
Within 60 days the Great Northern will
locate between 100 and 200 men here to
man the machine shops which have been
located here and which will be enlarged
during the next summer.
In business way Havre is booming,
although there Is danger that business
may be overdone, as there are as many
mercantile firms here now as the pres
ent business of the town will warrant.
However, the town promises to double
In population within the next year.

the men is. A slender, boyish figure ap-
pears in the door and walks jauntily UP
to the bar of justice. The weak face
wears an expression of clustering de-
fance. But this man of the world
attitude" sits absurdly upon a youthful
countenance One is not surprised to see
the suspicion of a CULVER about the weak
mouth. But the boy answers jauntily
enough when asked his name Evidently
1t is fictitious one that is given With
less bravado he gives his age just nine
teen years. He is told that he must an
swer to the charge of drunkenness. The
judges face takes on an additional stern
ness. The clerk looks disguised. In
taking the oath the boy raises a girlish
hand that trembles in spite of it's owner s
bravado.
ST guess I drank too much pop" is
the hippant explanation given the judge
by this young man. But the Judges
immovable face betrays no appreciation
of the witticlsm. The officers charge
is read. ''Ten dollars or ten days" the
judge announces with no expression of
pity.
Then a sudden change comes over the
prisoners attitude. The culver about
the mouth is very apparent now.
The pale blue eyes blink rapidly.
The jaunty air suddenly disappears. The
boy makes an effort to say something.
but the officer hurries him away. Yet
before the court adjourns one realizes
that its justice Is tempered with mercy.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-01-12

fits over the dusky face. On a more hui
man countenance it might be called re-
lief. AS the woman passes out with the
bailiff she mutters: Thirty days! OATS
easy! One ceases to wonder at the in
difference of judge, clerk, bailiff, police
officers and the rest
A cutting affray in, which two coIored
men have figured prominently, is the last
and most important case on the calendar
A number Of dusky witnesses are called
and their testimony is amusing because
each admits that when de pussons got
busy | done made myself scarce, sah!,
The pussons" themselves are SCARED
and beligerent-looking But the case
proves too important to finish In a
morning. One of the colored men is
bound over to the grand jury. The case
OF the other is continued The bows who
nave been waiting patiently over on the
other side Of the room are dismissed with
a lecture, the probation officer being IN
structed to keep them in sight until
March. The judge looks about him with
relieved air and declares the court adj
5ourned Slowly the little band of spec
tators strolls aimlessly out. The report
ers and the attorneys gather up notes
and papers and follow. The judge comes
down from the platform, smiles an Off
c1al smile, and the morning session Is
over
