preventative business men of the city,
presided over by FLA. Reynolds, was
held at the office of Secretary Ross of
Canon City Merchants Association last
Tuesday afternoon and committee of
five members appointed to investigate
the matter of the proposed road and
confer with Messrs. Heath and Fleishel
as to the steps necessary to assure this
city being made the northern termi-
nus of the line.
After obtaining all available infor-
nation in relation to the Canon CITY
& Great Western Railway Co. and its
prospects the committee will report
the result of its investigations to the
business men and whatever recommep-
dations are made at that time will
probably furnish the cue for public
action.
Considerable speculation has been
aroused as to the motive inspiring the
construction of the road to Beulah, and
it has been surmised in some quarters
that it is but link in the chain which
-ili "a ,bie tn, Rock Island to get into
the coal fields of the Arkansas valley.
The Rock Island is now building line
from Kansas into Trinidad and the
construction of road filling the gaps
between Trinidad and Beulah and be-
tween Canon City and Colorado Springs
would give them circuit through the
best coal fields in the west
Whatever the motive which prompts
it cannot help but do us good and we
should welcome it as new factor in
our growth and prosperity.

part with view OF having his sentence
commuted to life imprisonment.
Until the recent execution OF Azel D.
Galbraith at the penitentiary none of
the Youngblood murderers had much
fear that the death penalty would be
carried out so far as they were con-
cerned, but the enforcement of the
letter OF the law in his case has taken
all Of the confidence out of them on
that point. They had hoped that pub
lie opposition to capital punishment
would be the means of mitigation OF
their sentence, but that has been
swept away and they now realize that
they are facing the gnliows.
All three men are in good health and
they understood that il there is any
Intervention in their behalf it must
come quickly as they have but short
time to live IL the decree Of the court
is enforced.
A special meeting OF the board of
pardons was held in Denver yesterday
morning for the purpose of considering
the cases Of Fred Arnold, Newton An
drews and Chas. Peters, under SEN
tence TO hang here some time next
week for the murder OF Mrs Amanda
Youngblood. The board was called
together BY Gov. Mcdonald with a
view Of reaching a final decision
whether the condemned men should be
hanged or be permitted to spend their
lives within the walls of the peniten-
tiary. The result of the conference
was unknown here up to O'Clock last
night. but il is suspected that q res
pite, or Communication. was recon-
mended in the case of Peters, although
q definite statement of its action is
impossible at this time.

This was done for the purpose of max

ties conducting the business can obtain
a sufficient patronage and make the
concern pay, an effort will be rmade to
pay some portion at least of the former
Indebtedness. The gentlemen who
have the business in hand are all sue

anything can be done these gentlemen
will DO it.

butter making teacher at Agricultural

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.

The schooner yacht West Virginia,
now anchored at AndersOn's Ferry, on
the Kentucky side, was the scene of a
thrilling occurrence Friday morning.
| The yacht is owned by Rev. :. G.. Bet
ties, travelling Methodist Protestant
minister, who with his wife, Mrs. Mary
| ii. Bettes, is making a missionary tour
and holding meetings wherever the
yacht lands. Mrs. Bettes is subject to
epileptic attacks, and sustained one
Friday morning, while on the yacht.
| The vessel is anchored some distance
from shore, in very deep and swift
water Mrs. Bettes fell overheard.
| Her daughter saw her and screamed
| for Mr. Bettes, who was on shore. The
preacher, who is fine swimmer,
| plunged in and made down the river,
| where the current was carrying his un-
conscious wife. 1t took him several
minutes to overtake her, and it was
| difficult, as the woman would disap-
pear and then reappear some distance
down stream. Bettes finally caught up
with her, seized her by the garments,
and swan ashore with her. Mrs. Bet
| teS was unconscious and almost dead,
but was revived, and after a time re-
gained consciousness. The Bettes
family have been at that point with
their yacht for the past four weeks.
They are on their way to Panama,
where Bettes will become chaplain
and do missionary work along the line
of the Panama canal. They came
here from the Little Kanawha river,
in West Virginia, where the yacht was
built. Capt. Bettes will soon leave for
| Michigan, where he will secure the
services OF several sailors, and bring
them to Cincinnati, from which place
the start will be made. The route is
down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers,
across the Gulf of Mexico to Panama
via Cuba and Jamaica. The yacht is
a sea-going craft.-Cincinnati Times

GAY TINES LATELY.

The Single Dozen have been enjoy.
ing gay times lately. Two evenings
last week Were spent very pleasantly
for them. The first was at the farm
home of Anne and Jean Hayes, where
everybody who visits them, is sure to
enjoy themselves. On Thursday even
ing these young ladies took their beaus
along and drove to Peck to make their
former member, Mrs. Ira Bricker, nee
Mabelle Ferguson, visit. An elegant
gift of large oval mirror was present
ed Mrs. Bricker by the club as she has
now dropped out of their ranks and, as
a very popular member, she will be
greatly missed. On Tuesday evening
of this week the club met at the home
OF Ina Palmer and did honor to Nina
Newell, by giving her granite show
er. Miss Newell is another soon to
leave the membership of the Single
Dozen. On this occasion the granite
pieces, to the number of 81, were hid
den i'm the trees and shrubbery about
the house and Miss Newell was obliged
to find them herself. "A great deal of
enjoyment was experienced during the
evening. Sherbet and cake were

VEL BELEN CUT-oFF.
Official Announcement That Worl
WIN Begin Within 30 DAYS.

AL1Aa AAAAE
VIII Begin Within 80 Days.
Chicago. April 1.-THE Record
Herald today says:
Official announcement is made that
he Santa Fe has decided to build a
100000 cutoff to the Pacific coast
with a view OF getting rid Of the
mountain grades which are now en-
countered in transcOntinental travel.
Orders have been given for the pur-
chase of all the material necessary
and work Will be begun within 80
days. The work will be pushed to
completion rapidly and the new trans
continental low grade line will be
ready for opening within a year or Is
months.
The western end of the cutoff viii
be al Belen, n. NJ, 27 miles south Of
Albuquerque on h Ell PasO line, and
the eastern end will be at Texico, ESQ
miles away, on the Pecos Valley ines
on the Santa Fe.
The new road will cross the Sierra
Nevada mountains at Abo pass at an
elevation of 6,491 feet. but at a maxi
mum grade e-astbOund of one and one-
quarter per cent n W~estbound Of
six-tenths of one per cent. The line
will cross the Santa Ee Central near
Willard and the Ell Paso and North
ern al Llano, N. M. The estimates Of
the company for h total cost do not
exceed IS, 900, 600, but SO, 600, 600 will
be available if it is required.
Twenty miles of the new line were
completed more han a year ago
which brings the construction up to
Abo Pass, where it was abandoned in
definitely. Work viii be begun, prob
ably at both ends of the line and pos
sibly in the center. 1t is possible that
the gangs will also work east and
west from Llano. When completed
it is expected that the bulk of trans
continental freight and passenger
business will be one over the cutoff
which will shorten the old line not
more than seven or eight miles. Ow-
ing, however, to the low grade all the
way. the Santa Fe will be in a posi-
ton to cut many hours from the pres
ent transcontinental schedule. The
existing line crosses the Glorietta and
Ration passes at elevations OF nearly
5000 feet and at a maximum grade
of 81 per cent. In order to get freight
over the mountains it is necessary to
maintain the heaviest locomotives and
frequently to use three of them at a
time. Operation on the mountain di-
vision is exceedingly expensive and it
it expected that a sum largely in ex-
cess of the interest in the investment
needed to build the new line will be
saved by its lower operating expenses.
