consists in the formal completion Of
the Ogden-Lucin cutoff. To witness
the ceremony the highest officials Of
several great railroad companies are
joUrneying from the far east and the
far west. They appreciate. as only rail-
road men can appreciate. how much the
completion of this work means to the
railroad industry of the country.
The Ogdeu-Lucin cutoff has attract
Ell The attention Of railroad experts all
over the country. 1t is recognized as
perhaps the most difficult. and certainly
the most expensive line Of road in the
entire country. To complete it dollars
have been poured out by hundreds Of
thousands. The best thought Of rail-
road engineers has been commanded
and. through storm and sunshine, i'm the
face of discoura gements that would
have baked any spirit but the Ameri-
can spirit, the work has gone on.

filed Foundations have been found

Is not the side that appeals to the rail-
road men, although it must not be un-
derstOod that they are not interested in
supplies and material and the cost
thereof.
Il must be said that the question Of
cost has not entered into the Ogden
Lucin cutoff calculations. Can the
work be done? This was the inquiry
For a long time the engineers hesi-
tated. They figured and planned and
studied. AT last they said the CUTOFF

build It. The cost was appalling. but il
is believed that the results VIII justify
it. The running time between ogden

hours. grades will be eliminated. curves

1t will be possible to operate the di-

means a good deal in the course Of a

PANAmA,s moral pgsT.

THE FIRST THING the new repub-
L lie Of Panama seems to be trying
seriously to do is to evade the dis
charge of its obligations. 1t appears
that when Panama declared its indie
pendence Of Spain in 1921, IT declared
also that its territory belonged 20 the
republic Of Colombia Obviously this
was for the purpose of securing the
backing of Colombia IN the struggle for
independence. Colombia came 60 Pam
ama's rescue. To secure funds for the
purpose of carrying on the war for
Panama it became necessary for Co
lombia TO negotiate a loan abroad Of
some millions of dollars.
This money has never been paid and
now that Panama has seeded from
Colombia the foreign bondholders are
naturally afflicted with anxiety about
their money. The Panama commits
sioners deny the obligation. stating as
their reason the fact that at the time
the debt was incurred Panama was not
"A part of Colombia This is true, but
it in no wise does away with Panama's
moral obligation. If Colombia had not
backed Panama in it's fight for indie
pendence the money would not have
been borrowed.
Tt seems to US that Panama is over
looking a good thing in this matter
why doesn't it appeal to the United
States for the money necessary to pay
off the foreign bondholders. We have
given the new republic everything else
it has ever limited at; why should we
balk at a matter of a few millions Of
dollars. Surely. having stolen Panama
away from Colombia 1t Is our duty to
start her off with a clean slate. tt is
hardly fair TO allow a republic of our
own creation to be harassed by it's
creditors. AS a matter of fact it might
be argued that Panama's debts are
our debts on the principle that the
creator is responsible for his creation
Seriously, though. nothing but re-
pudiation could have been expected
from Panama. And I'm this it is not
different from other South American
countries. Down there they are mighty
quick to resent an assault upon what
they cali their honor, but their honor
doesn't extend 20 the payment OF hon
orable debts. The gratitude Panama is
now showing Colombia is of a piece
with the gratitude the United States
may expect from that country if oc-
casion for an exhibition of gratitude
should ever arise.
Let us hope the occasion viii never
arise, though, when the canal is I'm
ished. il it ever is finished. Panama
will be in a position to make a. lot Of
trouble for us if she desires to.

COST OF The Strike.

THE HERALD'S FIGURES on the
1 cost Of the coal strike, presented
in yesterdays issue. undoubtedly
caused widespread establishment and
interest. but as matter Of fact they
were under, rather than over the mark.
No attempt was made to scare any
body The simple facts were set forth
as conservativeiy as it was possible
to do so. During the short time the
strike has been in progress the cost
to the men who work for wages has
aggregated what most Of us would con-
slider a big fortune.
In the event that all the coal mines
are closed. and the thing is not i'm
probable 81 present circumstances con-
tinue. it win be impossible to estimate
the loss that VIII be involved Only
a small percentage OF the metal mines
could continue in operation for the rea-
son that the shelters must have coke
if they are to be operated successfully.
Only one smelter has a coke supply
sufficient to last as long as six weeks.
The others have enough on hand to
run them for from twelve TO fifteen
days.
When the smelters close it Is obvious
that the mines must close. When the
mines are closed the miners necessarily
join the army Of unemployed. And the
effect reaches farther than that. Tt
touches the stockholders in mines and
may cut off some expected dividends
More. the prolongation Of the coal
strike will cause suffering and hardship
in Salt Lake City. which is supplied
almost entirely with the Utah pro-
duct.
IF the strike lasts two weeks longer
you people up here VIII be going to
bed in the middle Of the day to keep
warm" said a Carbon county man the
other day to Il Salt Laker. That is a
rather forcible way of putting it and,
while we hardly believe the literal full
fllment Of the prophecy is probable
/ it is certain that unless the coal mines
speedily resume their normal output
the people here viii suffer. Very few
housekeepers have stored up a supply
Of coal sufficient to last them through
the winter IL is doubtful if more than
/ one business house in five is any better
off.
Even now the coal companies are re-
fusing to sell more than a ton Of coal
at a time to any customer. This is
right and fair because it would not do
to permit a few customers to get all
there is in sight. 1t is to be hoped that
the same spirit viii prevail throughout

| long or short And it must not be long.

ON GIVING THANKS.

DERHAPS YOU DON'T FEEL very
much like being thankful today.
Coal is higher than &c ever was in the
history Of salt Lake. Provisions Of all
kinds cost more money. This includes
the turkey. which maybe you'll have
and maybe you won't. A great many of
you are wondering how in the world
you'll be able to worry along through
the winter. Bills last month were pref
IT, heavy; bills this month promise to
De heavier still. And Christmas is
coming when the stockings must be
filled and the candles lighted on the
tree.
Now just wait a minute. you grum-
bier. See If you can't figure out some
thing to be thankful for. For one thing
you are alive. There is a beginning.
Tor another thing, in this kind Of
weather you don't need so very much
coal, anyway. Suppose you haven't
any turkey. Are turkeys the only things
in the world worth giving thanks over?
Why, dear sir don't you know that a
chuck roast Of beef on your table gives
greater satisfaction 20 the folks assem-
bled round it than the turkey stuffed
with oysters gives to many a dinner
table In this mans town?
Tt is all right for you to worry over
the bills sometimes. That is, it isn't
right to let the other fellow do all the
worrying. But cut out the worry just
for today. All the freezing in the world
never paid a bill or solved a prob
lem. The man who succeeds, the
man who is happy is the fellow who is
just too busy doing things to find time
for worrying. Why not enter upon your
Thanksgiving day in this spirit? Why
not remember that however sad and un-
thankful you feel. somewhere in the
world is somebody who has a better
right to be sad than YOU, and the
chances are that he isn't sad at all.
To Is one Of the rules Of this life, this
life that goes so often by contraries.
that the people who have the greatest
number Of troubles are the people who
are the most cheerful. No man in Salt
Lake today viii have q merrier Thanks
giving than one Of our acquaintance.
He has only one arm and one leg; be
lives in humble little cottage not
much bigger than a bird cage; he won't
have turkey. but he and mis- children
viii smile and enjoy themselves because
they are so fun of Gods sunshine that
they can't help dispensing it wherever
they so.
II that man can be happy and thank
ful anybody ought to be. We don't
know what your particular troubles
may be. and we don't care very much.
We do know that you are the most
miserable of mortals If you can't find
in some nook of your memory at least
ono reason for thanksgiving today.
