FINALLY COMPLETED.
Ogden-Lucien Cut-of Opened for
Business


OGDEN. Utah. November 2s-The Ogden
Lucien cutoff was opened for business to.
day.
The Ogden-Lucien cutoff is 1O2 miles in
length, Y miles on land and 30 miles on
trestle work and films over the waters Of
the Great Salt lake. 1t presents a practi-
cally level track except for a short dis
lance on the west end near Lucien, New,
where a slight grade is encountered.
The use of the cutoff will throw out Of
transcontinental traffic the old line from
Ogden to Lucien. New, around the north
end OF Great Salt lake. This stretch OF
track. lat miles in length, is one of the
most difficult and expensive Of the Harri-
man systems.
Its maximum grade over the long Pro.
montory Hill is 1O4 feet to the mile and
helper engines are necessary. The elmi-
nation of this trackage from overland
traffic will thus mean a saving of more
than 81 500 day in the actual operating
expenses and saving of two hours in rum
ming time.
The original scheme for the cutoff was
a pet plan of the late Coils p. Huntington,
and under his directions Chief Engineer
Hood prepared the plans for the great
engineering feat The plans were COM
pleted after Mr.. Huntingtons death, and
the surveys were approved by e. II. Har-
riman when he obtained control of tire
line.
Actual work on the cutoff was COM
menced in March. 1902 and thus the i'm.
mense task has been completed in about
twenty months The last pile was driven
during the last week of October; the track
was completely connected and the flooring
and railing of the long trestle completed
today, but work the films at either
end of the trestle will continue for some
time, and 1t probably will be several
months before the cutoff is Incorporated
in the overland system for all traffic. The
great work has cost the Southern Pacific
Company over S4,20O.O0O

Capitol Elevators Repaired.

The two electric elevators in the House
wing of the Capitol are undergoing a
thorough overhauling. Last Saturday one
of the lifting cables jumped from the draw
of one of the cars, which fell several feet
at rate of speed sufficient to set the safety
appliances. These clutches stopped the
elevator SO suddenly that the large electric
light globe in the cage was broken, but no
one was hurt Yesterday two elevators
slipped a cog somewhere with sufficient
force to bring the sensitive safety clutches
to bear. The cars were empty at the time
save for the operators. The trouble has
been located in the counter balance weights
which have been a shade too heavy when
the car is empty. These weights have been
reduced. and no further trouble is expected
There were rumors about the building that
the elevators had fallen, but the lapses of
the lifts. Mr.. Woods explained, were simply
details Of operation. and did not in any
way suggest the possibility Of disaster.

The Proposed Park at Langdon.

Representative Pearre of Maryland has
introduced a supplemental bill to the
measure originally proposed by him for
establishing a public park at Langdon. The
tract which 1t is proposed to convert into
a park contains a number Of large oak
trees and is bounded by Detroit and EN-
poria streets and Queens Chapel road and
goth street northeast. 1t is further pro-
posed that the reservation shall be called
Langdon Park and improved and cared for
in the same manner as other parks within
the District. The proviso in the supple
mental bill is to the effect that should the
trustees of the Washington Public Library
so decide, permission is granted by the act
to locate a branch library on the north
side of the square.

Manufacturer Protest.

erS stepped 10 Tie IOie AiiSN =" P'S>-
with the Secretary Of the Interior. They
claimed that they had never been invited
to submit bids for the cement, and pointed
out that the high price charged in the IN
formal bids made resulted from the excess
sive railroad freight rates to the site OF the
dam. The manufacturers sent their repre-
sentatives to this city, and conference
was held with the Secretary of the Interior
yesterday.
At this conference two propositions were
made to the government by the manufac-
turers. The first that the manulac-
turerS would furnish all the cement within
the price set by the government engineers
as just and reasonable. The second propo-
sition was that the government should per-
plant in the course of construction to man
ufacture all the cement to be used in the
construction of the dam.
The United States will be the largest pur-
chaser and user of cement in the country,
probably in the world for the next ten
years. on account of the numerous engl-
neering works that are to be undertaken III
which cement will be used. and the manu-
facturers claim that they should be permit
ted to furnish the material for the work.
The people of Arizona territory favor the
proposition of the cement manufacturers,
and as they are the people out of whom
the money will eventually come for the
payment OF the cost of the dam the govern
Therefore the department has decided to
ask for bids for furnishing the 100000 bar
rels of cement that will be necessary for
the work on the DAM and until the figures
are obtained on these bids nothing further
will be done in the matter

The Catholic Churches.

In the Catholic churches of the city this
morning special masses were sung and cele-
brated in observance Of Thanksgiving day.
The services began in most instances at 10
o'clock. Special offerings were made in the
various parishes and sermons appropriate
to the season were delivered by the priests.
Of all the solemn and symbolic services OF
the Roman Catholic Church, the festival
of Thanksgiving is in this country one of
the most interesting and impressive.
There was no unusual form of service in
any of the churches, the devOut Catholics
having always celebra ted this day in a
manner BETTING their religious principles
and their patriotism. In each instance,
however, large congregations were present.
The musical programs in the larger
churches were quite extensive.
Thanksgiving day was observed at Holy
Trinity Catholic Church, Georgetown, by
requiem mass at $50 O'clock for the repose
of the souls Of the deceased clergy and
members of the church. Rev. Father Null
vaney Offciated as celebrant.
Rev. DR.. w. c. Alexander delivered
sermon on the Thanksgiving Habit at the
services at West Street Presbyterian
Church. The services were largely attend
ed. The music was rendered by the church
choir.
The congregations of Eldbrooke M. E.
Church and the Baptist Church at Tenley-
town held union service at the former
church. The pastors of the two churches,
the Rev. Edwin H. Smith and Rev. George

CEMENT FOR BIG DAM
AGREEMENT goF OFFICIALS AND
MANUFACTURERS.
Bids Not to Be Above $3.50 Barrel
Saving for the Gov.
eminent.

A tentative agreement has been reached
by the Interior Department, and the cement
manufacturers In the matter of furnishing
cement for the big Tonic basin dam In
Arizona. The agreement provides that the
Interior Department shall invite bids for
100000 barrels of cement, and the cement
men agree that the bids shall not be more
than $3.50 barrel This practically set
ties the matter In dispute.
1t will be remembered that the trouble
arose over the governments determined
stand against the payment OF an exorpi-
tant price for cement. The agents or the
government were informed that the cement
would cost the people between St and $9.5o
a barrel. This was considered too much by
the government experts, especially III view
of the fact that within easy distance OF the
proposed dam there were immense deposits
of all the ingredients needed In the manu-
facture of the cement. The estimates as 10
the cost of the dam had been placed AT
g. 600 600 which was to be repaid to the
government in ten years by the people OF
Arizona who would be most benefited by
the dam and the irrigation WORKS tnat
would he established. These people took
a hand in the matter and directed the at
tention of the United States engineers 10
the fact that all the materials necessary
for making cement were at mana, anu suS
gested that if proper terms coulu iot pe
reached with the manufacturers plant be
constructed, and that the government go
ahead making its own cement. Inc cost
was figured, and 1t was found that this
could be done at a cost of about $Z.oo
barrel, and that plant would cost aoout
5000 The saving in this manner Woulo
amount to about 81, 100000, and would keep
the cost Of the dam within the SOOo,tOO
called for in the estimates. The matter
was put to the officials of the Interior De-
partment in this light, and the result was
that those in charge of the work OF con-
struction were authorized to go ahead and
build the nlant.
