BAIKAL RAILROAD COMPLETED.

The completion of the Lake Baikal
gap in the Trans Siberian Railway is
announced. Freight trains are now
running over the road around the
southern end Of the Lake, but passen-
gers are still being ferried across that
body of water. A large proportion OF
the work was done by convict-labor.
yet the cost of the 100 miles of road was
more then SIS. ooo. 900. This is at the
rate Of s156, $50 per mile.
Many physical difficulties were en-
countered and overcome. Nineteen
tunnels were bored and 1879 bridges and
viaducts constructed. The road crosses
three rivers and runs through several
mountain chains. In many places,
where the line is close to the lake, the
right of way had to be blasted out OF
solid rock.
The completion of the Circum- Baikal
branch established unbroken rail con-
nections between st. Petersburg and
vladivostok, and when the war now
raging has been ended it will greatly
facilitate the civilization and settlement
of a vast empire.-Salt Lake Herald.

Reuays Loan Many Times Over.

"Diamondfeld Jack" Davis has given
Judge o. W. Powers of Salt Lake $500
shares of Diamondfeld stock, valued at
10000. Davis was three times sem
fenced to death for q double killing in
Cassin County, Idaho. in 1896. The
legal proceedings raj through six years,
and, at his trial in 1898, Judge Powers
assisted in prosecuting him, and drew
Davis death warrant. Afterwards,
Powers helped to secure his pardon
from the Idaho ~penitentiary. About
two years ago Davis arrived In Salt
Lake penniless. and Judge Powers
loaned him money enough to get TO To-
nopah, and he departed with the
promise that he would repay the money.
Since then he has prospered. As one
of the original locaters Of the famous
claims at Goldfield and Diamondfeld
he secured large holdings in the camps,
changed his ways Of living. and is said
to be a leader of law in that section.
The gift 10 Judge Parker last week was
to repay the loan of two years ago.

Carson Appeal: The men who ran on
the morality ticket in Reno expected a
large vote in the ultra respectable
wards. Several adopted q moral plat.
form in order to catch the votes Of the
best people. When the returns came
in from the wards where the churches
held the balance Of power, the moral
candidates were deeper in the soup than
anybody. They discovered that with
the truly good people it was party first
and church afterwards. They are
chewing the bitter cud of experience
now. and they assert that IL they ever
run again they will make . sort Of

the worldly q chance to help them into

is equally true Of the northern part of

state that practically every dollars

commodities, ETC., is purchased in Cali.

wonder il it wouldn't be something Of
a surprise if the Times would take the
