New Moffat Road Manager.

Denver, April president David
H. Moffat of the Colorado-Utah Con-
struction Company and the Denver,
Northwestern & Pacific Railway Com
pany, yesterday announced the ap-
pointment of w. A. Deuel. as general
superintendent of those companies in
place Of A. c. Ridgway, who recently
resigned to take the position of gen
eral manager of the Denver & Rio
Grande railway. Mr.. Deuels appoint
ment is effective May 1st.
The appointment of Mr.. Deuel. as
general manager of the Moffat railroad
interests comes as surprise to the
railroad world. Mr. Deuel. has, since
he began his career as railroad man,
with the exception of few years in
the service of the Denver & Rio
Grande, been connected with the Union
Pacific system. 1t was thought that
he was a fixture with this road, and
that he would never again leave its en-
ploy. He was for many years a resi-
dent of Denver and Pueblo, and is one
of the most widely-known and popular
railroad men in the West.
The Holly chieftain., 1905-04-07
Electric Railway Plans.

Pueblo, Colo, April Am electric
railway connecting Pueblo, Colorado
Springs. Florence and Cripple Creek
will be commenced within the present
month, it is claimed. President
Thomas Robinson of the Florence
Electric Street Railway Company
states that ground will be broken for
the road within the next two or three
weeks and the work will proceed with
out delay.
The first division. between Canon
City and Florence will be completed
by October 1st. Portland will be on
this line. The company is incor-
porated for $2,700.O 900, with H. A. Cook
of Florence vice president and Harry
Robinson Of the same city secretary.
Passenger, express and freight traffic
will be handled.
1t is planned to touch all important
points in the Arkansas valley between
Florence and Colorado Springs, cover
ing distance of seventy-five miles.
All of the capital is to be furnished by
Colorado men and the promoters ex-
pect to complete the entire line with
little delay.

On the Way to the West.

Harrisburg, Pa, April Al don't
exactly say that l need rest, but l
am going to take one in the open, un-
der Gods blue heaven" said President
Roosevelt to-day, standing on the plat
form of his special train and convers-
ing with Congressman Olmstead and
federal officials, in the presence of a
great crowd that gathered at the sta
tion to meet him. 1t was suggested to
the President that things would go
along smoothly if he were absent.
"Oh, things will be all right" he
said. 81 have left Taft sitting on the
lid, keeping down that San Domingo
matter"
Later he said: 81 am going to have
an outing. I am going to get away
where l won't even think Of a fourth
class postmaster"

Coal Mine EXPLOSION,

Benton, H.. April 4.-Some fifty
miners were entombed yesterday in
Joseph Letters mine at Zeigler by a
terrific explosion of gas, and it is
probable that thirty or more Of the
buried men are dead. Thus far four
bodies have been found. The explo-
sion was due to the fact that the
Letter mines are not worked on Sun
day, thus allowing gas to accumulate
in the lower workings.
When between thirty-fve and forty
five miners had descended into the
mine yesterday to resume work, ter
rife explosion blew the timbers about
the mouth of the mine high into the
air. One of the steel cages was blown
TO the surface from the bottom OF a
500foot shaft. The shock of the ex-
plosion was felt at Benton, twelve
miles distant.

Five Dollars Easily Earned.

All boys like TO earn a few pennies
no" and then, but Mark Twain tells
VI very unusual way in which he
once made the princely sum of five dol
iars as small boy. AT one school he
amended there was a strict rule against
marking the desks. Any boy discov-
ered mutilattng desk. must be pun
ished-being offered his choice be-
tween paying five dollars or taking a
public whipping. The irresistible
combination of shiny-topped desk
and brand-new knife in his pocket
was too much for Mark; he succumbed
TO the temptation and Whitfield away
until the teacher caught him. The
punishment was set for the following
day, and Marks father, thinking it
pity the lad should be publicly
whipped gave him lecture and FIVE
dollar bill. Five dollars looked pretty
big to Mark. He thought it over care
fully, and when the time came. with
the bill in his pocket, went up and took
the whipping
The Holly chieftain., 1905-04-07
Proposed Subway System.

An elaborate supplemental system of
underground railway lines in Greater
New York which, if constructed, on
the plans suggested, will entail an ex-
penditure of hundreds of millions of
dollars, was outlined in report sub
mitted to the Rapid Transit Commits
sion last month by the commissions
committee on plans and contracts.
Fourteen separate routes are pro-
vided for in the plans They include
two additional subways, extending the
full length of Manhattan Island, one
of them reaching into the Bronx; sew
eral lines through Manhattan above
Forty-second street and number of
cross-town lines between Fifty-ninth
and One Hundred and Fortieth street;
tunnel under East river connecting
Manhattan with the borough of Brook
lyn; subway loops connecting the Will
liamsburg and Brooklyn bridges and
an elaborate system of tunnels extend
ing to various points in the borough Of
Brooklyn.
The committee says that 1t has re-
ceived assurances that more than one
interest is prepared to construct and
operate rapid transit roads without
calling on the city to advance its
credit.
