great work. Latest reports show that
the work of construction is all closed
except about nine-tenths of u mile Of
trestling. This cutoff line takes out
all the steep grades, running as high
as ninety feet to the mile and leaves
no 81 ade greater than twenty one feet
to the mile. There is practically no
curvature, the new engineering reduc-
ing curves and cutting out fully four
thousand degrees of curvature. The
distance across the two arms Of the
Great Salt Lake is twenty-six and one
half miles. East of Promontory the
roadbed is embarked except for one
opening of six hundred feet, provided
for the outlet Of the Bear river. West
of Promontory the work is being en-
banked except about eleven miles out
of distance of nineteen and a half
miles. The trestling here is substan-
TALLY done, and the engineers plan to
I'LL in steadily, making a permanent
embankment long before the pilng
begins to show signs of age.
With the completion of this Ogden
Lucin cutoff, railroad men say that
the saving of time on the main overland
line will be such that the traveller may
leave here ot 5 o'clock in the afternoon
instead of 10 o'clock in the morning as
at present on the Overland Limited,
and arrive in Chicago at The same time,
thus affecting saving Of fully seven
hours in the overland travel. In other
words, the Hartman interests have ex-
pended very close to five millions of
dollars in order to save the cross-con
tinent traveller seven hours Of time in
his overland journey. Besides saving
time, this trip across the Salt Lake will
be attractive for travellers. The breeze
from the lake being of refreshing cool
ness after the saad and sunshine Of the
dry region on both sides.
Oil tenders and burners have been ad-
ded to 492 locomotives, change, which
it is claimed, has the virtue of economy,
rs well as comfort to the passenger rid
ing behind such locomotives. 1t is estima-
ted that it takes 1853 gallons of crude oil
to make one ton of coal. Oil costs one cent
gallon; coal over 81. 90 ton; hence the
economy. The comfort is claimed because
Of the lack Of cinders from the oil. Far
mers welcome the oil burners beca use
no cinders come to set fire to grain fields
or grass near tn. railway. In Arizona,
over two hundred miles of track are now
oiled. The original expense of this oiling
has been about SS5 a mile, but the second
year it is planned to oil all the sandy
and dusty track through California,
Arizona and New Mexico, and also to
oil the grounds about the stations
where there is so much travel as to
make disagreable dust. This oiling of
station grounds at various points upon
the coast line has proved more than
satisfactory.

" - not that We don't appreciate The
public interest III this matter" said Chair

but simply that II is not best Tor all con-
ccrned To tell Just what we are doing
We are here trying to devise some plan

OF this II would not do at all 10 make

IMPORTANT RULING
Land Office Decides Point
of Great Interest to
Placer Miners.
SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.

srECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN
Helena, Oct. 3I.--According to a ruling
by the Helena land Office today from the
acting commissioner OF the general land
office, it is the idea Of the department that
bfators Of placer claims must make the
boundaries Of their claims conform to the
legal subdivisions of the land rather than
ram them up and down streams.
|; The ruling is a new departure and If en-
forced, which is questioned will work
considerable hardship upon placer miners
working old claims, especially those in
sections where the government has never
made surveys.
This doctrine was announced by the
commissioners office in ruling on the ap-
peal of the protestant in the case Of John
Geraghty against Thomas b. Cox involv-
ing a Madison county placer. The land
Office found for Cox and Geraghty ap-
peaAed. The acting commissioner, how
ever, says his entry should not be allowed
to stand as he had not made his claim con-
form to the legal subdivisions Of the sur
rounding land.
The land Office has also been advised
that the department has withdrawn four
instead of five townships in the Sun river
district from entry. The land is to be re-

EDDIE SAN.TRY WILL
FIGHT MEXICAN
FOR $4,000
Offers to Put Up All or
Any of That Sum for
Another Bout.

Eddie Santry, who was knocked out by
Aurelio Herrera Thursday night, is look
ing for another match.
Il don't deny that the Mexican is n
clever fighter" but he is pretty lucky at
that said Santry to the sporting editor Of
the Inter Mountain this afternoon. "IIc
never could have knocked me out in the
world if it hadn't been for the rankcst
sort of an accident. ! had just mixed it
with Herrera on the ropes and in getting
oil the lines let my guard down for an
instant. You know what happened then.
He couldn't do that trick again in a thou
sand years" b..
you can say for me" said Teddy MUIR
ply, San;ry's manager, that ! am willing
to back Santry against the Mexican for
any part Of $4,000 and am willing to put
up half Of it as a forfeit. | know that
Santry can beat Herrera if he has another
chance at him and | am not going TO rest
until | get another match.
II don't wish to detract from Herrera S
victory. | am not squealing. Santry was
beaten fairly, but think it was the
mcrest chance and we want another whirl
at it,
1--WE leave tonight for Chicago, where
Santry will fight Jack O'Keefc and any
time after that battle we will be at liberty.
We've got the money and are willing to
put it up"
Santry had few marks of the fray on
his face. He said that he felt confident
of beating Jack O'Kcefe, the man who
fought a 2o-round draw with Jimmie
Britt in Butte last June. The men will
weigh in at I33 pounds. Santry can do
only 1913.
1t will be remembered that O'Kccfc
failed to make 1873 pounds in his match
with Britt at San Francisco some time ago
and the affair was called off on that ac-
count. 1t was the prevailing impression
at that time that O'Keefe could not pos

The Business Mems association will

The Business Mems association has
resolutions concerning special session of

Some members of the association con-
sidered it advisable to wait until next
week before presenting the resolutions, or
until after the committee on mediation
