And somebody passing may give US a ride?"

In Second Place.
B. Y. Cleans Up the Weber Bunch
at Basketball.

The b. Y. c. also had a struggle last
Saturday and, like the A. G. was a
winner, but each a winner in a differ
ent field, the b. Y. C.'s victory COM
ing in the athletic line. The Weber
Stake Academy basketball boys came
up to place the local boys third in the
race for the State league champion
ship, but counted without their host.
The prides of the local fans cleaned
the visitors up very decisively, Slip
ping into second place by score Of %
to IA.
Thegame had been advertised as a
struggle that would lay the eastern
fight in the shade, and it was almost
that. The visitors put great game
in the first half, the score standing 10
TO in favor the local boys. The pace
was rapid and it seemed not beyond
the possible that the Ogden boys
would carry some Scalps away.
In the second half, however, the
visitors failed TO hold up, and the
local boys proved more aggressive. In
this half b. Y. G. scored II and w. S.
A. but 5.
DAZZLE did superb work, likewise
Geddes and Blair. Center Jos. Jen-
sen also played fair game. Bassett's
refereeing was beyond question, and
Emmett's work for the Weber boys
created much favorable comment.
A good crowd witnessed the game
and enjoyed it very much. A dance
was given after the game.

Mailer tells Some Big Yarns

Mr.. Mailer must be anticipating
some active work in the matter of
securing rights of way through the
country his road Is TO traverse, if
his reminiscent mood NAV be taken as
an indication.
Funny things sometimes govern
or very materially affect the align
ment Of railroad" said Mailer, in
discussing the modern tendency of
railroad builders to tear down noun
tain or tunnel through IL instead of
going around it,
when we were locating the
Aurora, Elgin Il Chicago line" con-
tinued the builder of electric railways,
1.-THE engineer in charge was instructed
to make as nearly perfect alignment
as possible; he was thoroughly i'm
pressed with the idea that no ordinary
distractions were TO be permitted to
stand in tho way OF his making a
straight line. He did secure very
good alignment, on the who.e, but
there wehe some slight detours which
were simply unavoidable.
'ln the suburbs OF Chicago our
line for some distance paiallecd IA
steam railroad, and IL seemed quite
essential that this competing line
have not even the slightest advantage
of US in the distance travcrsed be-
tween points. But one of The first
things we ran againt, or into, was a
cemetery. Now ordinarily, a ceme-
terry Is not serious obstacle in the
way of a railroad where every foot of
distance saved is Of great value; the
bodies can be moved. But in this case
we were particularly unfortunate.
Our line struck the very center Of a
plot of ground in which victims Of
smallpox had been buried. We simply
had to go around.
Sometimes it is very slight mat
ter which causes a railroad to swerve
slightly from direct line. Engineers
are usually quite human and some of
them are susceptible to good treat
ment. We found in one place that we
had paid for several yards of extra
roadbed because of the excellent meals
served at certain farm house. The
corps of engineers had enjoyed the
meals, and when the man of the house
asked them for favor in the matter
of cutting up his land they Judged on
us little.
"In another place an old chestnut
tree stood directly in the way. The
old farmer who owned il didn't want
to lose it. You can have anything
