tinuing of your hOnOred name and
that of your cabinet in our administra-

my unavoidable and deep humiliation

replies as I have been able to make. in

you desire from the organization which

Your obedient countrywoman.

FOR SCHOOL BETTERMENT.
Sanpete County Trustees Confer on
the Idea.

Ephraim. Feb. l-School trustees from
nearly every school district of the county
met in the academy building in this city
yesterday afternoon TO consider the adj
visibility of uniforming the school dis
triets of this county, making it into one
district, with one set OF trustees TO have
charge of the whole county, instead of
having the county in districts. as the
present system is BY nearly unanimous
vote they decided not to uniform the
school districts. but to leave them as they
are at present. They are opposed TO the
bill which was introduced in the legiS-
iature having for its purpose the merg-
ing of all the districts in one county into
one district. They reported very favor
ably on having kindergarten and manual
training instituted into the schools OF
this county, and steps viii be taken to-
war1 that end.

WORK ON THE
M0FFAT ROAD
Will Begin in the Spring to Bore
the Tunnel.
HEAVY IMMIGRATION WEST
NEW LINES WILL CONNECT THE
ROCK ISLAND AND SANTA FE.

Work on the tunnel for the Moffat
road is to be commenced early in the
spring. It viii not be finished until a
Year after trains over the new line are
running into Salt Lake. The first ten
miles from Leyden Junction to Coal
Greek, where the line enters the noun
tains, viii be finished in July. when
the mountain silences will be broken by
locomotive whistles. This is part of
the programme of the projectors of the
road.
1t is expected that trains on the Den
Yer, Northwestern & Pacific will be
running between Denver and Middle
park by January next. and as rapidly
as possible James peak will be bound
with bands of steel which will serve
as a temporary track until the noun
tain is bored through and through by
the engineers who have the tunne1ing
in charge. The mountain route will be
built from a point on the main line
about six miles west Of RollinsvilIe and
four miles east of the tunnel and NOV
ing northwest will cross the divide at
Rollins pass, dropping down into Mid
ole park and joinin the main
line five miles farther down and al
most directly west of ROlIinsville The
line will have TO double back and forth
on either side of the canyons and
gulches and viii loop itself at two
points
Extra Expense Is Huge.
The extra expense of constructing
this line will be enormous. but it will
enable the company to open its road for
traffic as far as Middle park at an
early date. Snow on the range will
make it impossible to start the work
much before July, but it will be over
the mountain by January of next year.
The thirty-seven miles from Leyden
Junction to the temporary line are
now being graded, and it is expected
that by December next trains will be
running as far as Rollinsville.
Beyond Coal Creek the work will he
slower, as the work is very heavy and
tunnels follow one another in rapid
succession. The track layers will fol-
low the graders, so that tracks will be
ready for operation as soon as possible
after the graders are through.
1t is expected that the work from Salt
Lake east Will be commenced during
the next year, but this will depend on
the rates offered by the local roads for
hauling the material. Contracts for
grading through Grand and Routt
counties are to be let in the spring.
