SALT LAKE ROAD WORK.
Connection to be Made Between Los Angeles
and Salt Lake In Ten Months.

oNu Oott AuhC bt tOu NHVutbOs
A meeting of the Directors of
the San Pedro, Los Angeles and
Salt Lake road was held in Salt
Lake City last week and it is sup
posed that the contracts for the
final construction work on the
new road were awarded and def
mite plans made for making the
through connections from the lat
ter city to Los Angeles.
1t has been frequently announc-
ed that the promoters of the road
figured that at least fifteen months
would be necessary to place it in
condition for operating purposes,
but it is now reported that f. H.
Hartman has been advised by his
chief engineer. VIM. Hood, that
this work can be accomplished
easily in much shorter time.
AS a result of this report Har-
riman has given orders to rush OPP
erations. A given year ago when
it was announced that Hartman
was behind Senator Clark in the
building of the San Pedro Los
Angeles and Salt Lake road, and
that a transfer of portion of the
Oregon Short Line to the control
of the Clark company was simply
a move on the part of Hartman to
aid the new line in getting quick
terminal connection, the Senator
was prompt with denial of the
report Since then, however, II
has been learned that Hartman
holds more than so per cent of the
new company's stock and is tax
ing an active part in all arrange
ments for the completion of the
line into Los Angeles.
The work of construction is be-
ing performed under the direction
of commission composed of w.
H. Bancroft, vice president and
general manager of the Oregon
Short Line, and Chief Engineer
Hood of the Southern Pacific com
pany, as the representatives OF
Hartman and J. Ross Clark and
H. Hawgood, manager and chief
engineer respectively of the Salt
Lake road, acting as representa-
tives of Senator Clark.
Chief Engineer Hood of the
Southern Pacific company, owing
to the vast amount of work that de-
volved on him in the building oi
the Lucin cutoff and straighten-
ing out the line of the Central
Pacific, had little time to devote
to the construction of the Salt
Lake road until recently, when
with Chief Engineer Hawgood
he made a thorough inspection Of
the new road, over which rails are
yet to be laid. He has made a re
port in which are incorporated
many valuable suggestions, and il
is said that these will greatly ado
to the directors in arranging this
week for the early completion o.
the road.

SOME NEWSPAPER LAWS.
Opinions and Decisions Rendered in Regard to
Newspaper Subscriptions


do not expect to pay for it.
Publishers as a rule will not
discontinue sending papers until
all arrearages are paid in full
Letters mailed to a publisher
connot be used as a defence to an
account for subscription in the alb
sence of a proof of their receipt
by him.
Don't move from one place to
another and leave a paper going
to your old address; either inform
the publisher what your new ad-
dress is or tell him to stop the pa
per, or you will doubtless be COM
PEELED to pay for it during years
which you have not received it.
Don't forget that you can be-
come liable for the subscription
price of paper without subscrib-
ing for it in writing.
If you have credit or ever ex-
pect to have any you cannot af-
ford to neglect your newspaper
accounts. A word to the wise is
sufficient.
No responsible man will allow,
and poor man cannot afford to
have judgment and costs rendered
against him. The proper time to
make defence or settle an ac-
count is before the case gets into
court When once judgment is
entered defenses are barred.
If subscribers move to other
places and neglect to give notice
to publishers, and papers and
periodicals are sent to the former
address, who is to blame and who
is responsible because they are
not received, and who should pay
the subscription?
Dissatisfaction will not exempt
person from liability for the sub
scription price of book or news
paper taken from the Office.
Failure to receive copy of a
newspaper, without fault of the
publisher, is no ground for refus-
ing payment of subscription.
If subscribers pay in advance
they should give notice to publ
shers at the end of the subscrip-
ton period if they do not wish to
continue taking the publication.
Many persons yearly cause
themselves much trouble and un-
necessary expense, in allowing a
small debt to run.
Business courtesy demands an
answer to a business letter and
the business man who does not
answer a business letter is not
courteous and has no one to blame
but himself when made defendant
in law suit.
1t is an acknowledge principal
of the common law that any per
son taking, receiving or making
use of any article of value Except
an executed gift) is liable for pay
ment of the same.
Courts have decided that a
newspaper taken and used in the
family is a household necessity
and a man and his wife are both
liable for the subscription price of
same.
Business men do not notice such
promises as this: 81 will pay you
when | can" or, "as soon as pos
sible." They are construed to
mean, and generally are stand
offs" pure and simple.
After taking paper year or
more is it then too late to discover
that you never subscribed for it,
Such sham defenses are inconsist-
ent.

The Matter of Marrying.

vi
\ minister of the gospel has written
an article for magazine discussing
the question. why Women Do Not
Marry" The caption demonstrates
the article to be a fraud. 1t Is the
statement of "conundruma that does
not exist. for the purpose of showing
Il great deal of sapiency In answering
the question Women do marry,
though this minister insists that II
they do they frequently put the wed
ding off till after they are 30. II is
true that a good many of the gehtler
sex enjoy single blessedness TILL they
have reached this old maid age, and
some of them remain alone for thew
whole lives. but the ladies themselves
will not. be offended if the opinion Is
expressed that in great majority OF
such instances the postponement is on
account of circumstances over which
the ladies' themselves have no con
troll.
If there are fewer marriages than
there used to be il Is because society
and the economic system have been
deranged The shifting of the respon-
sibility of making a living has worked
hardship to both sexes. The eXplana-
ton is made that woman with an en-
HANGED sense of equal rights is unwill-
ing to sacrifice her own individuality
on the one side or to become the eco
nomic slave of any man on the other.
This is offensive. 1t Is insulting to all
true men and women. There Is hard

own living and maintaining her I'm

exchange her condition for that of the
old-fashioned marriage relation. 1t Is
the same way with men. There Is
nothing in human effort that can bring
complete happiness TO either man or
woman, In single or double life. Get
ting through the world IS rather
heavy responsibility at the best.
The old plan, though, of the man go
ing out into the world and taking the
hard knocks and winning the bread,
and the woman presiding over the
house and doing her graceful part to
the rising generation, is the natural
and ideal condition.
A great many of the women of our
time have not been raised or educated
for the pride and beauty of domestic

clerks In the United States Treasury
Department, and stenographers In
counting rooms, and 'sich like" and
the current talk about the happy life
of the bachelor girl is rank heresy.

Toast.

Bread is toasted not merely to
brown it, but to draw out all the
moisture possible, so-~that 1t may be
more easily digested If a thick slice
of bread is carelessly held close to
blazing fire. the outside is blackened
and hardened before the heat can pen
citrate to the inside The moisture Is
only heated. not extracted; the inside
is tough and clammy, and the butter
spread on the surface remains in the
form of oil This toast is most indi-
gestible. The correct way is to cut
the bread in rather thin slices, and at
first hold it about six inches from a
clear fire so that it will become gradu-
ally hot, and then decrease the dis
lance to let it brown. 1t should be
of uniform color, light brown. all
