RIVALS FIGHT FOR
Big. HORN BASIN 4
Burlington and North estern
Engage in Old Time Scramble
for Advantage Of Grades.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
.Worland, Wyo., Dec. 11.--An effort
which the Burlington road is making To
prevent the North Western from tap
ping the rich Big Horn basin, is ex-
pected to come to climax within the
next few days, or as soon as the result
Of the surveying party now on the No
wood divide can make it's report to the
not only the entrance Of the North
Western into the Big Horn basin, but
also the immediate future Of Thermopo-
lis, as the adoption Of the Norwood
route would leave that town without
railroad. 80 a p
The Burlington engineers are now
seeking route down the south slope Of
the Big Horn mountains, and if it can
be found the Thermopolis canyon route
will be abandoned. The engineers have
discovered an easy route up Kirby
creek to a point east of Thermopolis,
whence the survey goes east to the No
wood, and follows that stream to the
top Of the divide. The difficulty is
in getting a practical grade down Clear
creek to Badwater, whence there would
be no difficulties. % 81
" Cost Is Tremendous.
The tremendous cost of the Thermo-
polls canyon route, together with the
agreement with the North-W Western by
which the latter is to be allowed the
use of the canyon right Of way, makes
it advantageous to the Burlington to
find another way out if possible. Should
the Norwood route be adopted, it is be-
lieved that, the North Western would
long hesitate before deciding to under
take the building of road thru more
than twenty-five miles Of solid granite
canyon and the Burlington thus would
be left in sole possession Of the Big
Horn basin. -.
:. The present grading contract let bv
the Burlington for its Worland exten-
sion reaches to the mouth of Kirby
creek, and gives color to the theory
that the road is not yet ready to an
nounce it's intention to adopt the can
yon route, and that it will first exhaust
the possibilities Of all other routes.

The fight of the day against wealth is
only that kind that organizes to Sc
cure unnatural advantages through

that abuses its own privileges in order
to absorb more than is its due or more
than it needs: it is the cruel monopoly
that puts its heel upon individual en-

shape Of sugar barrel: nor in the
Georgian era when she wore sky
Scraping plumes: nor in the Victor
ian period. when she ran the whole
samut, from the hustle TO the pull
back. from the tiltler to- the Grecian
bend, from the spider waist to the
balloon sleeve
She was always the sweetest kind
of girl, the dearest kind of woman,
the E1osL CHdEullnS VI wives, lie IISSI
blessed OF mothers. and the genera
tons that have followed the adoption
of the widest freaks of the modiste's
imagination in modern times have been
fully up TO the physical standards and
far above the moral and intellectual
standards of the generations that
came and passed when women Were
shapeless and dowdy- Dress does no:
make the woman any more than it
makes the man. but the right TO pur-
sue happiness is the right of every
body in the United States, regardless
of sex. If our women are happier in
stays than they would be out Of them.
then by all means let them wear stays.
Il they think they look better in ball
loon sleeves and hoppskirts than In
tight sleeves and pullbacks. then by
all means let them have their way
AS long as the men are not objectinE
women should be silent. for it is the
men that our women are trying to
please.
