WORK STARTED ON

Sub lets Contract for First Forty

the Western Pacific is demonstrated
by the activity among the forces of
Utah Construction Company, whose
headquarters are at Ogden, Utah, but
who have just completed the con-
struction of the Hazen cutoff.
This firm has been given the great
er portion of the construction of the
Western Pacific. The work for al
most the first forty-fve miles out Of
Salt Lake has been su-contracted, and
within the week at leas four different
will be started. A. H. Christensen,
director of the Utah Construction
company, returned to Ogden Monday
after making a over a portion of the
work with company of subcontract-
ors.
John Tyler left Sunday for 0roville
Cal, to establish western headquar-
ters for the Utah Construction CON-
pany at that place.
Lhe campany has received definite
advices that the contract for the Me-
vada & Northern, a branch running
from Omar, near Toano, to Ely, New,
has been let to the company. The
final acceptance Of the contract has
been deleyed, pending the incorpora-
tion of other terms, but has now been
adopted by both sides. This line has
nothing to do, of course, with the
Western Pacific, being an entirely
seperate organization, and the road
is to constructed for the purpose of
developing some of the mine in the
vicinity of Ely.
The heaviest work on the line is
the Beckwith Pass tunnel. Con. An
argyros of Sparks left for that place
Saturday with force of 100 Greek
ladorers for Beckwith Pass, Cal, and
the men we're put to work Monday
driving tunnel two miles in length
through the mountains.
According the estimates of the
Western Hacifc engineers it will take
two years to complete the building
of the three big tunnels in the Sierra
Nevadas, and all other construction
work on the overland line will be
completed and ready for operation by
the time the tunnel work is finished.
says the San Francisco Chronicle. In
estimating the length of time requir-
ed fer the boring of the tunnels the
engineers consider that two years is
quite conservative, as the character
of the material through which the
big borings are to he made is such
that no serious difficulties, such as
attend the building of the Santa Fe's
Frankie tunnel in Contra Costa
county, will be encountered. Bor-
ings have been made by the engineers
along the line of the proposed tunnels
and they are thus enabled to estimate
quite accurately just what progress
can be made on the tunnel work wbea
the contractors get down to hard
work. The three tunnels, it is said,
will be built at the rate of eighty
feet per day on each facing. With
liberal allowance for delays and mis-.
haps the tunnel work ought to be
completed within two years, and it il
thought that the entire road ough,

The Beulah congregation has
decided to build a new church on
another site instead of repairing
the old building. Considerable
money has already been raised,

The free excursion given to
New Point beach, by the Corpor-

patronized and much enjoyed by
Il large number, it being estimat-
ed that fully 1000 people were
present. The officers of the
company outdid themselves in
the role of hosts. The bOuntiful
feast of sea foods etc. were fully
appreciated by our friends from
Norfolk. 1t was a rare treat to
us "Reubens' to hear the wise
ones explaining to their unenlight-
ened friends how the toothsome
shad, oysters, CLAIMS and crabs in
the nearby waves awaited their
turns to be taken out and con-
sumed. SO easy and attractive
did life appear here on this lonely
beach we doubt. not that many
will be prevailed upon to invest
in a building lot that their lows
may be prolonged during the
summer seasons here in cottage
of their own, and then they can
find out for themselves how tame
and easy to catch are the crabs,
oysters etc. The rain clouds came
over for an hour or two, but with
cheering strains of music to dis
pei its effects all were goOd-natur-
ed, though forced to remain in
the pavilion. Many were loud in
praise of the beauty of the beach
and their ardor was in no whit
dampened by the showers. One
fact is assured-this beach, with
its lovely natural surroundings is
too enchanting a spot TO be long
left alone when once the summer
tourists become acquainted with
its peaceful, restful atmospheric
coupled with its convenient lo1ta-
ton. 1t is safe to predict that as
soon as the Accommodations are
complete the public will bg9 ready

New York, March 20.--Alcoholism Is
steadily growing worse in France while
it is decreasing elsewhere, according
to assertions made by DR.. Poitou Du-
plessy in a public address, cables the
Heralds Paris Correspondent. The
speaker is a we'll known physician
ITO the drink evil" he said. could
be traced the gradual disappearance Of
the family and the deterioration OF
racial attributes, Gradual degeneracy
is sure to result unless alcoholism is
checked"
DR.. Duplessy declared that drink is
a prime factor in causing tuberculosis
and madness, misery and crime. The
only way to successfully abate the
evil. he says. is TO arouse the public
conscience. The law of social soli'
darity, he says, had a scientific basis
which imposed moral duty upon the
members of society to defend them
selves and their fellows from such a
menace as that which alcoholism now
presents.

New York, March 20.-To organize
the working women of New York in
to a union and inaugurate an aggres-
sive campaign in their behalf, Miss
Gertrude Barnum, daughter of William
Barnum, formerly judge in Chicago,
and who spent some years in the set
tlement work of Hull house in that

As secretary of the Women's Trade
Union League, Miss Barnum has called
a conference to be held next Sunday
when the problem of working women
will be discussed by persons from all
parts of the country, the general prop
osition being that public opinion should
support the unions in their efforts to
organize the working women.
Miss Barnum declares that quarter
of million working girls and women
in New York suffer from every pos
sible industrial evil. They are, she
says, treated unfairly, work in unsani-
tary places, and endure long hours and
low wages and there is vast amount
of irregular employment.

Chicago Policeman Shoots One Of

AT AN ITALIAN WEDDING
Hall a Dozen Italians Attacked the Pc.

Them to Disperse and Beat Him
With club--Policeman Fired Shot.

Chicago, March 20.-A wedding cele-
bration at Clark and Polk streets has
been terminated suddenly by Police
man Henry Decker who shot one Of
the merry makers, Vito Malpedo, in
the abdomen, inficting a fatal wound
Half a dozen Italians, one of whom
was Malpedo, attacked the policeman
because he had ordered them to dis
perse. Malpedo ran into a saloon and
snatched a policeman's club from be-
hind the bar. He then joined the 9TH
ers at the corner where they were
wrangling with the policeman. Weld
ing the clubs with all the power in his
arms, he swung it round and struck
the officer on the head, knocking him
down.
Decker remained on his feet and
used his own baton on his assailant.
Malpedo rushed on him again from
behind and dealt him a terrific blow
that sent the policeman to his knees.
Two men seized his club and pre-
vented him from using it. Fearing
for his life Decker drew his revolver
as Malpedo came toward him again
with the club uplifted.
He fired only one shot. Malpedo
staggered to the middle Of the street
and fell.
At the sound Of the shot hundreds
Of persons ran from the tenements.
Women threw themselves upon the
man who lay wounded in the street.
The police were notified, and when a.
wagon load Of men arrived more than
1000 persons, men, women and emil
dren were struggling in the street. Of
ficer Decker, covered with blood, stood
at the side Of the man he had shot,
and he had another Of his assailants
under arrest. After his injuries were
dressed he returned to his post.

MINISTER ADMITTED.
The Church Enters Into Fellowship
With Labor.


New York, March 20.-A minister
has been admitted to membership in
the Central Labor Union of Brooklyn,
an organization representing various
bands of skilled workmen on Long
island. He Joined as a fraternal dele
gate and at the request of the Brook
lyn Presbytery which he broached the
conclusion that hitherto the church
has not entered into fellowship with
organized labor as it should have done.
So far as the union members were able
to learn, it is the first time that such a
departure has been taken by any SINH
lar body in this country Only one vote
was cast in opposition.
The new delegate is Rev. Warren H.
Wilson, pastor Of the Arlington Ave-
nue. Presbyterian church. In an ad-
dress following his election he said the
Presbytery believed that the church
had strayed from the divine teachings
in not taking a deeper interest in the
welfare of the laboring man. He
thought that the church did not fully
understand the objects of labor unions
and believed that the time is at hand
when it should be enlightened on those
subjects.
