ALL OTHER UTAH ROADS
DO A GOOD BUSINESS

Eastern Utah has new railroad
built in the past year by the asphalt
trust. This is the Uintah road, mar
row gauge, running from Mack. Colo,
on the main line of the Rio Grande
Western. TO Dragon, Utah, a distance
of fifty-four miles. It will be con-
tinued to Fort Duchesne. in the Uintah
reservation in the near future.
The Sanpete Valley line did a good
business during the year and increased
its earnings The Saltair road and the
Salt Lake & Mercur line participated
in the general good times and heavy
business of the year.

date the smelter business. New tracks
will also be laid at a number Of points
on the line. New depOts are in course
Of erection at Las Vegas, NewhOuse
and Spanish Fork Others will fol-
low. Fully $4,000 has been expended
on the Salt Lake division Of the road
in the Improvement of the section
houses. New houses are all built of
concrete blocks.
Plenty of Work Blocked Out.
The line from Las Vegas to Tonopah
through the BullfrOg mining district
is the most important piece of con-
structiOn work now under way by the
new company. Another branch of
twenty-five miles from Nippeno to
Searchlight will follow. Grade i'm
provement, ballasting and new rails
between Uvada and Caliente, a dis
tance of forty miles, is under way;
ballasting from Lynn and Uvada; OIL
ing several hundreds miles of road
bed, and new stockyards at Caliente
for feeding purposes are also blocked
out for the coming year. The improve
ments planned for the Salt Lake end
of the line for the coming year viii
cost in the aggregate $500. GOO. Side
tracks and watering stations will not
be overlooked.
A branch line to Phoebe and another
to the great iron deposits near Cedar
City, in Iron county, Utah, are planned
for the near future. During the past
year the headquarters of the road were
moved from Salt Lake City to Los An
geles Division superintendent II. E.
Van Housen, and District Freight and
Passenger Agent J. L. Moore are in
charge of the business at this end Of
the line. ~ the opening of 1906 the
Salt Lake offices of the road will be
removed to the fine new Herald build
ing on Main street. The new quarters
will be ideal in every way.

PROMISES, TO
CROWD HIS SHORT CUT

David H. Moffat announced officially
Oct. % last that he would be in Salt
Lake City with his road six months
earlier than he expected. The line is
now completed from Denver to Hot
Sulphur Springs, Colo, a distance Of 10
miles. From that point work is to be
pushed westward with all possible
speed. If Mr.. Moffat's plans are car
ried out trains will be running regu-

there was much work done in the way
Of ballasting and improving grades-al
permanent work looking to the coming
Of the Western Pacific. 1t seems to be
the determination of the Gould inter-
ests to have the Rio Grande Western in
tip top shape by the time the great

Ready for Big Freight Traffic.

Freight business does not make as
good showing for the first year as is
made by the passenger department.
This is due to the opposition at the
California end Of the Southern Pacific
and the Santa Fe, which made an eff
fort to shut the road out from partici-
patton in the freight business of south
ern California. These difficulties were
adjusted. Next year the Salt Lake
Route will get its full share of the
freight business. It is estimated that
in the first three months of the coming
year it will handle 10000 carloads of
citrus fruits alone out of southern Cal
ifornia. The westbound freight viii
also be heavy.
Much work has been done during the
year just closed in the way OF track
and grade Improvement The new
line from Buena Vista into Salt Lake
City gives this line . straight run into
the new union depot TO be built by the
Oregon Short Line for the Joint use OF
the two roads. This will save fully
fifteen minutes in the run.

RIO GRANDE WESTERN
MAKES IMPORTANT MOVES

Interest in the Rio Grande Western
has been stimulated during the past
year by the knowledge Of the close re-
lation between that road and the West
ern Pacific. Every move made by the
Rio Grande has been watched with
Jealous interest, and all speculation
has been as to the bearing of that
movement on the Western Pacific.
The announcement made within the
month that 50 900, 90 is to be expended
in the enlargement and improvement
of the shops in this city is considered
significant. The shop force is to be
increased to 1900 men and all classes
of work is to be done here even TO the
making OF locomotives. All the heavy
repair work of the western Pacific is
to be done in these shops.
Closely associated with the move
ment for larger and better shops is the
campaign in the direction of a fine
union passenger station for these two
roads at Third South and Fourth West
streets. Purchase of land from time
TO time in the western part of the city
are known to be made for terminal ia
calities for the Rio Grande Western
and the Western Pacific. Little is
given out officially as to the definite
plans of these two roads, but enough
is known to make it certain that an
enormous sum of money is to be ex-
pended by the Joint interests in and
around Salt Lake City in the next two
years.
Great Year for Business.
Every pound Of energy that the Rio
Grande Western could muster in the
year just closed was brought into
requisition to handle the overWhelm-
ing business that rolled n upon the
road throughout the year. Upward of
GOO. 900 passengers We're handled dur
ing the year. Trains were run in three,

ago that the line was to be extended to
Salt Lake City. Since then surveying
has been prosecuted between Guernsey
and Salt Lake City.

great success by southern California

The interesting feature of the street
pavement work Of the year was the
final adoption Of a plan Of permanent
Improvement for East South Temple
street and the completion of the work.
The street is now paved with asphalt
to Tenth East street. Inequalities in
the surface have been met in a man
ner that promises to make the street
one Of the SHOW places" Of the city
after the collateral improvements are
completed The sides of the street are
to be parked, and all poles have been
removed from the center. Ornamental
metal trellis poles support the trolley
wires from the curb lines. On these
poles the light company has placed
a double row of incandescent lamps,
which are now on trial In competition
with the ordinary arc lights employed
heretofore. If the incandescents prove
that they can render equal service in
the way of illumination and are ac-
cepted by the city, the effect will be
unusual and beautiful. Officers of the
light company are confident that the
incandescehts will do the work and are
anxious 10 nave them LfleQ.
Aside from the paving Of East
Temple street, the street pave
ment work Of the year was inconsider-
able. 1t was confined to Market street,
a short narrow business street.
Plans for the Coming Year.
The coming year will witness won
derful strides in street paving, how
ever Work already ordered calls for
asphalt pavement on Fourth South
from West Temple to Second East, on
State street from Fourth South to Sew
enth South, on Main street from
Fourth South TO Ninth South and on
First South from West Temple TO
Third West. In addition to this work
ordered already. plans are being con-
sidered for paving Second street from
Canyon road to the reservation, First
street from A to streets, State from
North Temple to Second North, First
North from Main 10 State and West
Canyon from First North to Second

will undoubtedly be completed within

CLARENCE MILLER AND HIS AUTO
Automobile Transportation

One of the latest acquisitions
of transportation that Millersburg
can boast is the automobile. The
credit of introducing this up to date
method of quick travel is due to Mr..
Clarence Miller, one of Millersburg's
most progressive business men, He
is an expert chauffeur and as a ma
chinist he is considered genius. SO
thoroughly does he know his machine
and with his ability as a mechanic
that he has never had a mishap
which caused five minutes delay on
any trip that he has made, no matter
how steep the hills, how rough the
road, or how long the trip. Mr..
Miller makes a speciality of touring
and sightseeing parties who wish to
travel over the Blue Grass counties.

NATURAL LIFE DUPLICATED.
How Prof. Loeb Fertilizes the EsEs Of ses
lrchins

How Prof. I0eO FoFtlliZet the EBBs Ot eoz
Urchins.
SAN Francisco, May 22-Prof. Jacques
Loeb gave out to-day a bulletin In which
he sums up some final experiments in the
process OF fertilizing the eggs Of sea urchins
so that they cannot be distinguished under
the microscope from naturally fertuized
eggs. His latest work has been to form mem
brane in the eggs in the same order that
IL is formed in real life. Under natural
fertilization this membrane is formed
Immediately after spemato soon enters.
The method Of procedure Is to treat
eggs with Q solution OF fatty acid-acefic.
propionio, butyrio or valerianic-mixed
with fifty oentigrams Of sea water The
eggs remain in this solution from one
half TO one and half minutes. When
transferred back to the sea water they
form membrane which cannot be distin-
guished from the membrane OF fertiliza-
ton. The eggs remain in normal sea
water for Ave or ten minutes and are then
put into q mixture OF sea water ana salt
solution for twenty to fifty minutes. When
again the formation of micromeres occurs
as in normally fertilized eggs, and the rate
Of segmentation and development is pre-
cisely the same.
The blastula cavity forms In these eggs
az early and in the same way as in fertilized
eggs and blastule begin to swim and rise
to the surface as early as those developing
from fertilized eggs. When the larvp
which rise to the surface are collected and
kept in a watch glass it is difficult to dis
tinguish them from larve produced from
fertilized eggs.
Thus Prof. Loeb has exactly duplicated
the natura. processes in the creation Of life
in sea urchins.

no ACTION AGAINST VENEZUELA.
The President Decides 10 Wait Until He
Can Secure the Advice OF Congress.


WASHINGTON. May 22-No action will be
taken by the Administration in the Venez-
ue]an asphalt controversy until it has an
opportunity OF securing the advice OF Con-
gress as to the character of the steps it
would be justified in taking to bring the
matter to an end. This much was made
known to-day after the news that the presi-
dent Of the highest court in Venezuela had
rendered decision against the New York
and Ber1nudez Asphalt Company. ordering
it to pay damages to the Venezuela Govern
ment and that it's concession and prop
erty be forfeited, had been received.

CHEAPER GAS FOR THIS CITY.
Senator Page Proposes to Get II Through
the State Lighting Commission.


ALBANY. May 22.-Senator Alfred R.
Pa ee Of New York city had talk with Gov.
Higgins to-day regarding the New York
city cheap gas question, the consideration
at the extra session of the legislature Of a
bill repeating the Odell law taxing the
surplus Of savings banks and the question
of providing for recording stamp tax
on mort ga ges instead Of an annual tax.
The result of Senator Pages visit, how
ever, amounted to nothing but talk.
Senator Page was a member Of the
Stevens New York city gas investigating
committee, and he said to-day that as
soon as the Governor signs the bill pro-
viding for State lighting commission
steps can be taken to secure a cheap
action Of that commission.
II believe that since the che7p gas Dill
did not pass said Senator Page, the
proposed State lighting commission should
have a chance to deal with the situation.
1t was created expressly for that purpose,
and the reduction of the price OF gas, in
New York city Is a task peculiarly within
it's province Moreover. as soon as the
commis sion is named will see to it that
it has the facts laid before 1t: The law
permits an application for relief to be made
in any city, and guess can find the neces-
sary hundred. l can then, with the petit
ton, submit to the commission the results
Of the investigation Of our committee of
the legislature and then it will be UP to
the gas corporation to meet the case with
their arguments"
Senator Stevens thinks the New York
city cheap gas question should be solved
by special legislation at the extra session
of the Legislature. Some members. OF the
legisL,ture who have talked with Gov.
Higgins got an impression that the Gov
ernor had not fully made up his mind to
call an extra session OF the Legislature
even to consider the Hooker charges
