The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1903-08-15

A San Francisco dispatch, dated Aug
ust 8, says: George s. Dillman. chief
engineer of the Western Pacific rail
road. now being built between this city
and Salt Lake, in an interview stated
officially that construction work would
be commenced on the road in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Salt Lake within
ninety days.
Not Backed By Gould.
Since the road was first mentioned in
the papers it vas generally conceded
that it was to be a branch of the great
Gould system and that Gould was back
ing it. This is not true. Gould has moth
ing whatever to do with it, and Harri-
man. who has been looked ON by some
as the promoter, has no more to do with
it than Gould has. In fact the enter
prise has been financed by a company
of men who represent as great wealth
as either Gould OF Hartman. The
directors of the company are actually
worth S10O, 900, 900. Every one of them
is a thorough business man who has
invested in the enterprise purely be-
cause he thought it a good business
venture.
The Road.
1.-THE road will be about the same
length as the line now used by the
Southern Pacific between San Francisco
and Ogden, which is in the neighbor-
hood of $40 miles. The line from Beck
with pass will run to Reno. New, and
from there almost on a direct line to
Salt Lake City.
"The line viii be a better M than
the one now used by the Southern
Pacific for several reasons. Chief among
these is he comparatively low grades.
No point On the line of the new road
will exceed an altitude of $500 feet.
This will be attained in the central Ne
vada, where the grades on either side
OF the summit are extremely easy. The
Southern Pacific line attains an alti.
tude of something owe 1900 feet at a
point where the line goes over the sum.
init of the Sierra Nevada range.
"The altitude of the Beckwith rass,
through which the Western Pacific will
RIM, is about 800 feet, or less than one
mile, with easy ascents. The Southern
Pacific is compelled to maintain fifty
miles of snowsheds at an an
nual cost. Snowsheds will not be re-
CURED on the new line.
"The territory between here and Salt
Lake traversed by the Western Pacific
is far richer than the territory traversed
by the Southern Pacific. This is especi-
ally true in Nevada, where the line of
the new road taps one of the best pro-
ducing re-bearing regions in the entire
West.
"It will cost $25, 900 to lay each mile
OF the entire distance and $50, $50, 900 to
complete the line to Salt Lake. Every
action of the promoters and builders Of
the Western Pacific tends to strengthen
the conviction that it is not a news.

but is a legitimate, bona fide business en-.

The Monmouth Daily Review of
Monday says:
The Aledo murder case refuses to

of the story. and in startling head
lines il told how Mrs. Dunlap. the
mother of the acquitted girl. had be-
come insane.
''Nell informed adyices from Aledo
this morning declare the entire story
false. Its origin probably came from
the accident which befel Mrs. Dunlap
when last Tuesday evening she al
most lost her life in a fall from her
bedroom window to the ground. II

of the fall quickly spread. and from

Philadelphia, Jan. 2s.-The anthra-

preferred to permit the flooding of
the mines rather than grant the en-
ployes the S-hour working day. John
Weber, superintendent, said in his
opinion the company wanted to man

But Declared He Did Not Want to Injure
the Holland People.

Roberts then said that Lessler dis
claimed any intention of injuring the
Holland people. and said he would
sign Il statement if Roberts would pre-
pare it He U-esslerl, however, would
not sign a statement for publication,
and Roberts said he did not suppose
the Holland people would care to pub
lish any such statement or make
any use of it whatever, unless
their interests were TO be jeopardiZed
by the use of his original staetment
and then in self-defense they would be
obliged TO publish any statement he
might make.
Lessler agreed to sign on that under
standing, and said, referring to the
naval subcommittee, Il believe L can
fix them. 1 believe l can arrange it
all right Roberts had the statement
prepared. \ few days later Roberts
met Lessler. who told him that thing
has been fixed" Roberts then handed
Lessler the paper, which was to the
effect that it was not Lessler's inten-
ton to connect the Holland company
directly or Indirectly with an offer of
a bribe. Mr.. Lessler." Roberts said,
declined to sign it because it was
addressed to the Holland company"
Wheeler then took Roberts and
asked Il string of questions, the prod
uct of which was the facts that Rob-
erts had told what LeSSler said to a
Mr.. Frost. Il submarine boat man,

but Roberts was positive it was the
investigation. When Wheeler asked
Roberts if he thought Lessler was ly-
ing Roberts said any words Wheeler
wanted could be put in the record.
