SANPETE VALLEY LINE
INCREASED ITS EARNINGS,

A MONG the minor railroads OF Utah
" the Sanpete Valley shows UP well
this year with marked advance
in earnings since May, when the new
schedule giving direct connection with
the Salt Lake Route went into effect.
The fact also that during the past sum-
mer surveys have been completed for
a three-mile spur running from Moroni
to the site OF the new sugar factory
gives promise Of good things In store.
This season has been q bright one for
Sanpete, the crops have been ahead OF
those OF the past few years, banks have
been organized at Ephraim and Moron.
and taken all In all this fertile section
of Utah has Come TO the front gen
orally. Among the heaviest classes OF
shipments on the Sanpete valley rail-
road have been livestock and the coal
output from the mines at Sterling, the
southern terminus OF the road.
The Sanpete Valley railroad consists
OF a line running from Nephi Juab
county, TO Sterling. In all, counting
the main line and spurs, the road con-
slsts Of "a miles OF track. During ths
current year 52-pound steel has been
substituted for 35-pound rails, and It Is
the intention to cover the entire tracks
age with the heavier steel ultimately.

sIsts OF l6 freight cars, two passenger
coaches and two Baldwin consolidated

During the summer months the pass

large proportions owing to the traffic
to and from Lagoon, a popular country
resort for the sweltering days. All the
year round, however, there is con-
siderable travel on the road to and
from Salt Lake. while when It comes
to freight the brick shipments, Of
which there are millions annually,

PHENOMENAL RUSH OVER
THE SALT LAKE ROUTE.

HE first year OF operating through
trains between this city and Los

" known as the Salt Lake Route. has
had n marked local beneficial effect 1t
has been a factor In filling the hotels

Brought thousands of tourists hither.
Official figures secured from the oiilce
of the general passenger agent nj Los

months the road has hauled 92,l2a pas
sengers into, and 1904 people out of
Salt Lake, not q bad showing for
new line that has only been operating
one through passenger train over the
/ 900 miles OF line every "a hours. Gem
eral Manager r. II. Wells was asked
NV the News TO furnish an estimate
OF the number of passengers carried by
this road during the past IL months.
and In reply states that II VIII not ran

A Passenger Year.
This year OF operation OF the new
road has been essentially passenger
year While freight Is daily increas-
ing. It has been an uphill fight to Sc
cure shipments owing to the opposition
of the Southern Pacific and the santa
Fe at the other end OF the line. Az
one time It looked as though the san
Pedro was going to be shut out entire
" from the warehouses abuttlnB tne
side tracks and for time the PROPOSE
ton OF store delivery was seriously dis
cussed by the traffic department. How
ever difficulties were finally adjusted
after several earnest meetings and now
the Salt Lake Route starts out on
new year with every prospect OF secur-
Ing It's share OF transcontinental busi-
ness. In this connection alone II Is es-
timated that 1t will during the first
three months of 1906 handle no less than
10, 900 carloads OF oranges and citrus
fruits from the shippers OF Southern
California,
In addition during the past few
months the new road has opened up
market for livestock and produce In
Southern California.

Wonderful SILK of the Spider.

The astronomer after the expert
ence Of many years has found that the
spider furnishes the only thread
which can be successfully used in car
rying on his work. writes Ambrose
Swazey, in the Scientific American.
The spider lines mostly used are
from one-fifth to one-seventh Of a
thousandth of an inch in diameter,
and. in addition TO their strength and
elasticity, they have the peculiar
property of withstanding great chang.
es Of temperature; and often when
measuring the sun spots, although the
heat is so intense as to crack the lens
es of the micrometer eyepiece, yet the
spider lines are not in the leastinjured.
The threads of the slkworm, al.
though of great value as q commercial
product, are so coarse and rough COM
pared with the silk of the spider that
they cannot be used in such instru.
ments.
Spider lines. although but q frac.
tion of thousandth of an inch in d.
ameter, are made uD Of several thou
sands of microscopic streams of fluid,
which unite and form a single line,
and it is because of this that they re-
main true and round under the high
est magnifying power.
An instance Of the durability of the
spider lines is found at the Allegheny
observatory, where the same set Of

Proper Apparel.

No man should wear anything but
a swallow-tail suit to dance or
evening party. 1t is not only economy
to own and wear dress suit, but 1t
is also the proper obedience to society
custom. And then, as a final and
complete reason, every man looks
better in a dress suit than sin any
other kind. Good dress suits can be
had ready-made at any clothing store
for SIG up. A tailor will make dress
suit for those who care to pay the
price for SAT up. This isn't foppery
or dudish. 1t is simply correct wear
ing apparel, which costs no more than
the present way tne men dress with
such evident lack of taste and culture.

How Corn Can Be Fed.

At a meeting of Texas swine breed
ers one speaker, who was feeder Of
quite a little experience, suggested
that when corn was fed on the ear care
should be exercised to burn the cobs
to charcoal at least once a week, and
a sprinkling Of salt would induce the
hogs to eat 1t freely. The practice Of
soaking corn for twenty-four hours
without letting it sour had many ad-
vocates. Cooking corn had no advo-
Gates; at least none were heard. 1t
was uniformly agreed that high-priced
corn could be ground and fed profit
ably, and that corn at fifty cents a
bushel would yield good profit fed to
hogs that would sell for Az to 5 cents
per pound.

A Good Remedy.

Douglass mixture, which is held in
such high esteem by the poultry fra
ternity as a tonic rather than medi-
cine, can be cheaply prepared at home
by any poultry raiser. Purchase one
pound of copperas and one ounce sui
phuric acid. Dissolve the copperas in
a gallon of water, stir well so as to
be sure it is all dissolved before adding
the acid When ready for use, bottle
in a stone Jug and it will keep any
length of time. Two teaspoonfuls to
the gallon of drinking water is the
amount used as tonic. Care must be
used in handling sulphhric acid, as it
is a dangerous drug, and 1t is always
we'll to be cautious when compromising
or using this mixture, even though in
its proper usage it is said to be cor
rective of many ills fowls may be
heir to.

Old seeds need not necessarily be
thrown away merely because they have
been kept long time. But they should
be tested before planting. 1t is poor
economy to take the chances with Seeds
merely for the sake of saving the cost
of a new supply. Count out a numser
of seeds, say hundred, lay them be-
tween two pieces of damp woolen cloth
and keep in warm place, then ex-
anime them after they have sprouted
and see what proportion are good. If
the proportion is low they should be
discarded.
