SHORT ROUTE
TO TWIN CITIES
Burlington Will Have It by Cutoff
Through Wyoming.
CONTRACTS ALREADY LET
EXTENSION UNDER WAY FROM
CODY TO SALT LAKE,

q Y the construction of a few hun
n dred miles of railroad in Wye
ming. as reported to be completed,
in addition TO the Salt Lake extension,
the Burlington system will pierce the
Wealthiest section of Wyoming, and j
j. Hill will be in control of the shortest
route between Salt Lake City and the
Lake Superior region, while the Salt
Lake Route and the Hill lines would
offer ths shortest route between Los
Angeles and Lake Superior.
Study of a railroad map makes this
easily understood, and recent contracts
awarded by the Burlington lead TO a
belief that Mr.. Hill has an elaboration
of his system along this idea already
under way. Contracts have been let
for the extension of the Toluca branch
Of the Burlington from Cody, Wyo.. to
Thermopolis, Wyo This extension,
while of great Importance in itself as
it will pass through the rich Big Horn
basin and the oil fields and coal fields
OF Wyoming, is bat a small part Of the
possibilities of the scheme. By eN-
tending the Toluca branch south OF
ThermOpOlis to connect with the Salt

The route would then be from salt

TOluca branch. thence 10 Billings,

tracks of the Northern Pacific.
Means Much to Wyoming.
This route would be of great value 10
the state of Wyoming. as it would
mean the rapid development of d re-
orfn ri in bfr+
held back at present by lack of trans
portatiOn facilities. The Big Horn
basin, with its great agricultural pos
sfbilities. has already attracted TO r.
hundreds OF settlers, many OF them
from Utah, who went there in spite of
the comparative isolation of the region
with a conviction that il would prove
one of the garden spots OF the country.
A railroad there would do for the Big
Horn basin and other portions of NEyO-
ming that would be reached by the
line suggested what the railroads have
done for the agricultural regions of
Utah. Idaho, Montana, the DakoJas ana
other western states.
Coal and Oil in Plenty.
Apart from the agricultural wealth
that would be developed i'm northern
and western Wyoming arc the mineral
deposits that would be opened by the
railroad. Some OF Wyoming richest
coal lands lie in the area that would
be reached by the proposed line; the
Wyoming oil fields, at present mostly
undeveloped. but rich Ia promise, would
lie directly in It's pain. and The reTJls
of livestock that roam over large
part of the states grazing area W 5ild

The value of the suggested line 10
Salt Lake would be found in an in
creased field of distribution for Salt
Lake merchants and in the benefits
that would come from the city occupy
ing a conspicuous place on the shortest
line between southern California and
the great lakes.

This second creature Of iniquity,
believed to be disciple of Holmes,
is Adolph Hoch, said to have been at
one time janitor of Holmes famous

mitted many murders. The specific
charges upon which Hoch Is wanted
are bigamy and murder. He is accus-
