THE RIO GRANDE

Salt Lake. Utah. March 2e.-The
Tribune this morning prints the fol-
lowing:
Chairman Gould OF the Rio Grande
system had In view one Of the great
est cutoff projects yet planned In
shortening the lines of transcontinent-
al railroads. This is not only plan
to shorten the Denver & Rio Grande.
but the Rio Grande Western. and ere
ating a through line from Denver to
Leke.
The line from Denver to Leadville
will be shortened so as to secure n
straight line between the two cities.
Between Leadville and Grand Juno.
ton many smaller cutoff lines will be
constructed to secure line. grade and
curve reductions.
In Utah the Green River-Salina cut
OF will complete the straight line from
Denver and from Marysvale. Utah, the
extension to Los Angeles will complete
a short line from Denver to that city.
Another line will be built from some
point in Utah on the Rio Grande West
crn to connect with the Western Pa
cific.
BY these cut-offs considerably over
300 miles would be eliminated between
Denver and Salina, as compared with
the present route via Pueblo and Sa-
lima. as compared with the present
route via Pueblo and Thistle, saving
which would mean a days run prac-
tically. and therefore of the utmost
Importance in relation to a through

ARGENTINE NOTE

Washington. March 23.-The text OF
the response OF Secretary Hay to the

ago, although the tax rate remains the

increase in the value of property. an
increase which we are assured has
been brought about solely by the con-
struction of modern highways. Town
ships in Bucks county which have bor-
rowed money to carry on the work OF

to reduce materially their debt annual
ly by reason of this enhancement of

with that of our rural friends in other

Additional Locals.

Mrs. John A. Hendrickson, with her
daughter, returned from Europe last
Wednesday night. Mrs. Hendrickson
left Logan with her husband about
five months ago. During that time
the family made an extended trip
through Europe, visiting all the prin-
cipal cities, especially those of Eng
land and Scotland and Ireland, and
also assembled the Alps. Upon the
earnest request Of Apostle Frances NJ.
Lyman, who Is at present the presid-
ing officer Of the European Mission,
Mr.. Hendrickson has consented to
remain in Europe for at least a few
months. 1t is therefore possible that
he will return home before January
1st, 1904. Mrs. Hendrickson parted
with her husband at Liverpool.
The shows given in the various
wards of this city by Mr.. Russell have

a resident OF this State and has met
with the sad misfortune of losing both
of his hands, and is practically help
less as far as manual labor is concerned
and he has family to support. His
condition in every way Is OF such a
character as to bring forth written
endorsements from Angus NJ. Cannon,
President Of the Salt Lake Stake, and
President Joseph f, Smith, which was
read In the Tabernacle last SUNDAY
afternoon asking the people to support
this unfortunate man by their patron
age, that he with us may live" Is
this not Christianlike and Is il not
worthy of the consideration of peo-
Pile who do profess above all things to
be open handed in such cases. 1t Is
noticeable that when side shows come
with circus and some broad mouth
fellow yelled she wildman' peoI lie
will fab over one another to get in by
the hundreds, and what for? To be
skinned of what little money they
have. In the interest of the unfortu-
nate man and in accord with the en-
dorsements that he carries we feel
justified in asking the people through
out this countysand elsewhere to con.
slider the appeals of this man and his
condition, by sending your children
his entertainments where they will be
instructed by short lectures on the
moving pictures as they pass by. For
all such 1t is written "They shall in
no wise lose their reward"

unfortunate thing for that party that
could happen to 1t. Men who get a
reform-movement on foot are seldom
fit men to direct that movement
once it has gained power, and for this
reason, the matter in the end
will fall into the hands of the
older and more experienced statesmen
in the old line parties, who as a mat
ter Of self-presevation, If nothing
else, will see that the good things Of
the movement are incorporated as
their own and directed in the way OF
conservatism and good sound judy
ment based on years of experience
with questions Of the greatest i'm
portance to the public.
