The contract has been let 10 Cor
rigan Of Pueblo and he will begin the
preliminary work at once along the
survey already finished by the Santa
Fe engineers.
There will also be a double track
laid by the Santa Fe from Trinidad

new tunnel by electricity. 1t will
probably take two years to finish the
big bore.
1t Is believed by the Santa Fe en-

a big saving In fuel for engines and
that 1t will also result In doing away
with splitting freight trains to get
them over the Ration hill, as is now
The case.
The Santa Fee Is preparing a cut-off

have practically a water level. This
road runs south Of the present line

to take a trip on this new aerial line

The Life OF a salmon.

Salmon never eat during the spawn
ing season. When they pass from salt
water into fresh water in search of a
nesting place they are very fat, having
stored up food supply for the coming
months of struggle, for that is what the
spawning season always is. They
spend three or four months in fresh
water, exploring and fighting over the
places they find. Meanwhile, as they
do not eat, their alimentary canals
seem to wither up from disuse. And
when at last the spawning season is
over, the actual time, barring nest hunt
ing, being from ten to fourteen days,
the fish are so exhausted from the
struggle, lack of food and the effort Of
reproduction that death is inevitable.
The life of salmon is spent in the
perpetuation of its kind, but to the
credit of each is an average of 5000
eggs. New York Herald.

Flowers That shoot Like Guns.

Birds and insects carry seeds about
almost as busily as the WIND. The
rough and hairy coats of quadrupeds
often capture the burs Of the plant
they come in contact with and carry
them for thousands Of miles. Rivers
and all running waters perform a sim
liar use. Multitudes of plants are
found growing upon their banks, the
seeds of which have been brought by
the current from distant localities, and.
being stranded when the water is low,
they find at once an anchorage and a
suitable place for growth. There are
plants even that jerk and dart out

After the battle of Sharpsburg Gen
eral Jackson. happening to ride in the
rear of Early's division, found the men
scattered for miles along the road,
some executing dance steps, some cry
ing, others singing gay songs or psalm
tunes. Early had tried to reduce the
ranks to theii. usual orderly condition,
but had not succeeded. Finally an or
derby rode up and handed him dis
patch from General Jackson:
Headquarters, Left Wing.
Sir-General Jackson desires to know
why he saw SO many stragglers in rear OF
your division today.
A. S. PENDLEToN.
After reading this communication the
grim old soldier got a piece Of paper
and wrote the following reply:

think it probable that the reason why
General jackson saw so many of my
stragglers today is that he rode in rear
of my division. Respectfully,

Food for Work Horses.

A number Of writer's In agricultural
papers are urging the abandonment Of
oats and timothy hay for horses that
work on the farm, because Of the high
price Of these foods. Al q substitute,
these writer's suggest clover hay and
corn. It Is best to be a little careful
about making such a change. 1t may
work out al right provided it IL not
carried to an excess-that is, try It
for month, then 60 back to oats and
timothy, and then back to corn and
clover. BY the end of the third month
one will know pretty well If the plan
was a good one. There can be no
doubt that oats are by far the best
grain to feed horses, and it IL at least
doubtful IL one can safely change to
any other grain az a regular ration
and make it pay in the. long run.
There may be little difference noted
for a long time with some horses, and
the saving will amount to consider
able, but the experiment IL a doubtful
one. Remember there Is such a thing
as false economy, and this may come
under that head.

Sf0rthing Plans for Conference With
Sweden on Dissolution.
Christiania, Aug. 30 The storthine
has adopted by vote of 1O4 to II the
proposals Of the government for the
formal opening of negotiations with
Sweden for the dissolution Of the
union.
The passage Of the resolution relat-
ing to the opening of negotiations with
Sweden for the dissolution of the union
was not secured without obstinate re-
sistance on the part of the radical and
socialist factions, whose program was
to prevent negotiations with Sweden.
The crushing majority of the govern
ment, however, shows that the storth-
ing and the people are anxionus to &C.
cure an amicable settlement. The gov.
eminent is firmly opposed to any
change in its proposals, evidently wish
ing to meet the riksdag half way.
The committee on negotiations prob
ably will be appointed at once, and
will consist of Minister Loveland, G.
G. Berner, president of the storthing,
and former Minister Of the Interior
Vogt.. 1t is believed in authoritative
circles that Sweden is now inclined to
concede the candidacy of Prince Ber-
nadOtte.
