and Ogden to Grand junction; e. l.
West, superintendent of the Sixth
division, from Chicago to Ogden; H.
P. Thrall, superintendent of all mail
on the Hartman lines.
One of the principal features which
is now being discussed is that of time.
1t is desired to cut down the schedule
between Chicago and San Francisco
by ten hours. The officials are conf
dent that the time between Ogden and
San Francisco alone can be cut down
four hours by this arrangement. so
that the remaining six hours can be
taken from the run between Chicago
and Ogden. Another feature is that
the working cars with the San Fran
cisco mail will prepare the mail for
that city for immediate delivery to the
carriers upon the arrival of the train.
When the new service Ia brought
about no more San Francisco mail will
be handled at the postoffice there, but
on the other hand will be handed over
to the carriers for immediate delivery,
thus saving from three to six hours
over the present system, aside from
the big saving of time between Chica-
go and the coast.
The local officials are now preparing
figures on the new schedule and the
additional equipment necessary for
the change. About twenty mail cars
are to be retired to the local car shops
and their interiors and other depart
ments will be remodeled according to
the new details prepared by the post
al department. These changes will
result in much increased working
space in the cars. The officials are
very anxious to install the new train
before January lst.-0gden Journal.

THANKSGIVING DAY
IN L0vEL0Ck.
Family Parties and Gatherings
General Order.
Thanksgiving Dance Largely Attend
ed and a Good Time Reported by
All Present.

The presence of snow in the Valley
ana on the surrounding hills made
yesterday seem more like ye 0ld-tims
Thanksgiving day than it has for many
years In this valley. There were
thanksgiving services in the church in
the morning, and the usual family
gatherings about the Turkey feast
during the afternoon hours. Many of
the Citizens of this place are not in
cluded in these home gatherings" 80
Turkey feeds were prepared at the
restaurants and hotels for such.
But the event of the season was the
Grand Bail in the Hills Hall at night,
given under the auspices of The Fra
ternal Brotherhood. This Order has
appropriated Thanksgiving night az
the time for their annual ball and
Thursday night was the second one
given by the Order in Loyeloek.
The hall was appropriately deco-
rated with evergreens and silver and
gold, Emblem colors of the order,
while large Golden Eagle, with wings
outspread, protecting the home of
her young, hung at the head Of the
hall. These decorations were tasty
and well arranged.

HEAVY SNOW FALL
IN THE MOUNTAINS
Makes Good Prospects for Next
Seasons Water Supply.
Snowfall Heaviest to thelSouth- --Re-
ports from Different Sections Of
the State,

It looks verv much as though that
winter for which all have been wish
ing was coming in earnest. These
mornings we see a right smart
sprinkling," of the beautiful on the
ground in the Valley and look at the
heavy blanket which is rapidly coat
ing the surrounding hills, and think
winter is already here.
1t does not lay long in the valley
but that is not so important as to
have good supply deposited in the
mountains that feed the Humboldt
River. The head waters of this
stream are chiefly in Elko county and
and the snow fall there is always an
interesting item to Lovelock ranchers.
In speaking of the storms of the
past ten days, the Elko Independent
gives the following as the snowfall at
different points in Elko County:
Fqscarora, 3 ms; Gold Creek, Sins;
SHELTON, 10 inches. North Fork, 3
inches; Lamoille, Is to II inches; Ruby
3to 5 inches; Starr, IL inches.
The fall has been heaviest South of
the Failraa6, as indicated by the fol
lowing:
The most severe snaw storm that
has visited this section in number of
years commenced early Monday morn
ing and lasted until Wednesday even.

of the beautiful" fell in Ely. but on
the surrounding mountains the fall
was quite heavy.
Traffic between Ely and the railroad
is blocked and the stage coaches
carrying the mails are from ten to six
teen hours late in delivering the mails
and it is only with the greatest diff
Guilty that they manage to get through
at all.
A telenhone message from Eureka
announces that there was more than
two feet of snow fell in that town,
and at Hamilton the snow fall was
even greater.
J. NJ. Blood, the Fitting stage driv-
er, gays that the snow is II inches
deep on the Spring valley summit, and
VIM. Riggs, the Veteran Driver of the
Boyer stage, says it is is inches deep
on the Table Mountain divide. r. e.

"Peace Trust a Possibility

An English writer has turned his
eyes toward group of the enormously
rich men of this country and asks if
it would be possible for the wealth
and power they and others represent
to be welded together in the cause of
a world peace He says: Would a
peace trust be poNsible under the ex-
istlng conditions Of social and politi-
cal life? A war trust is not an un-
known thing, since every great loan
promoted for the benefit of fighting
nation is a proof Of capitalistic organi-
zation. The Rockefellers, Morgans.
Vanderbilts and Carnegies Of Ameri-
ca, together with countless men
whose absurd riches have been made
less ostentatiously, have not inherited
the tradition of making money for
the mere pleasure of the making; they
are likely to establish tradition for
themselves. They have ideas, and
would like to be numbered among the
immortals. The opportunity presents
itself; they could combine their influ-
ence upon the worlds stock markets
declare themselves the opponents OF
any financial group that sought tc
make war possible and in the moment
when the strength of their attitude
was recognized they would be hailed
as saviors of mankind.

"Czars, kaisers, sultans and all OF
their kind" he continues, would take
their place in the tail of the new
comet; the men who raised the pres
ervation Of peace to the level Of the
selling of low-fash oil. the collection
of works of fine art valued chiefly for
their price, and the packing Of pork
would send the echoes of their name
and fame reyerberating down the
ages. Incidentally there would be
money in the business. The greater
demand for steel and corn and oil
would add to the existing wealth; the
general sense of security would en-
courage new industries-perhaps lead
through the gateway Of the trusts to
the millennium Of which Edward Bel
lamy dreamed.
Finance started the present war in

Thankful for the Car,

Supt. Foster Of the New Orleans

He turned in his trips at the Salem
office, and the cashier, who was aware
Of what was going on, said, Thank

less, and the polite cashier thanked

in still less money, but the cashier
was there with his smiling thank
you"
what the deuce are you thanking

A strange romance of lost ell

renewal of the engagement on the

marriage ensuing, has come to light

betrothed, and as a pledge John

Almost Immediately he went away on
an inspection tour.
In his absence Miss Olmstead went
for a boat ride with a young man on
a neighboring lake. While they were
out they caught a small turtle and the
girl sportiyely slipped off her en-
gagement ring and slipped 1t over its
head. A moment later the turtle
slipped from her hand into the water
and disappeared.
When Martin returned and learned
Of the incident his jealousy was
aroused. He doubted her story. AS a
result the engagement was broken
off, and Martin returned to Germany,
his native land.

Much Fuss over Vic.

wig for a girl who had lost all her
hair and whose parent was unable to
incur the necessary outlay. The pub
licity given to the case resulted in
the guardians being inundated with
letters of advice and suggestions, one
correspondent enclosing recipe for
restoring the hair, the ingredients Of
which were "fne gunpowder and
eggleaf" and the cost only twopence.
The guardians decided, however, that
the local hairdressers should be con-

The most wonderful book in the

may be imagined. The work is done

done by machinery, yet every charac-

Methusaeh.
One Of Germantown's old grave
yards contains tombstone on which
is most unusual inscription. 1t is as
follows: Sacred to the memory OF
william Uxley Died December %,
1892, aged 949 years" How any per
son could have attained such an
extraordinary age many have wonder
ed, but the problem has at last been
solved. The dead man was 49 years
of age, but when the stonecutter did
the work he made Mr. Uxley "a by
mistake. Marble was expensive in
those days. and although the stone
seemed to be ruined by the error, the
tradesman did not feel like casting il
aside. After the "a he cut nine

plaster, leaving the age, 40. as re
quired. The ravages Of time and
weather have laid bare the work as II
was originally, and now the tombstone
proclaims William Uxley to have
