Editor National Tribune: We heartily
fndorse your idea Of local Inspectors
of food products. We have been In the
canning business for 20 years; have
made pure food special study. and
have never found 1t necessary to use
any so-ealled preservatives In our proc
ess. 1t Is a well-known fact that the
markets are flooded with "doctored
goods" AS they are always made to
deceive the public. I could give your
readers some simple rules which would
enable them to detect some OF these
frauds. However. II you would warn
the "old boys" to not touch, taste nor
handle any bfands that have not a
guarantee Of purity on outside label you
would do wonders In driving unprfnci-
pied packers and dealers out OF bust.

built by the Government In 1859, chris

with the fastest engines then built. She
carried many thousand soldiers to points
along the river and the channel as far
south as Cape Fear River NJ c.. and
was at one time sunk In the Potomac
Private parties bought her from the
Government, raised her. had her rebuilt

FEATs IN BUILDING ROADS.
New Engineering Marvels Accomplished
in the Rocky Mountains.

Vast improvement in railroad construc-
ton Is feature of the Rocky mountain
states. Passes that were pronounced in
surmountable few years ago have been
scaled, seemingly impossible canyons
have been threaded and mountains have
been tunneled to cut down heavy grades,
until the barrier of the Rockies have be-
come no barrier at all.
Only generation ago engineers were
pronouncing Colorado hopeless from
railroading standpoint Yet today there
are several railroads making daily climbs
of the main range in Colorado, and q
brand-new road, built out of Denver to-
ward Salt Lake City, has climbed the
barrier at a point where ten years ago
civil engineers said no roadbed could be
successfully made.
This new railroad is the Denver,
Northwestern & Pacific, commonly called
the Moffat road, for the reason that it
has been protested and built by David
II. Monat or Denver.
The road crosses the main range at an
altitude of 11,660 feet. This terrific
climb is made only by means of the most
tortuous windings and numerous tun-
nels. At one point, called the Bow
Knot, the train plunges through a tun.
mel, makes sharp turn to the right and
comes back over the very tunnel it en-
tered a few minutes before.
AT another point the train literally
'sloops the lake" 1t swings around a
tiny body of water called Yankee Doodle
lake. in so doing describing a complete
circle. Then it climbs up and up, makes
another curve and climbs again, enabling
an individual to stand at the lake and
count tiers of track above him.
When the Denver & Rio Grande pre-
pared to build through the Rockies engi-
neers said the canyon of the Arkansas
could never be penetrated its entire
length. There was one spot in this awe
inspiring chasm where there was not
room for roadbed on either side of the
stream.
The walls of the canyon came down
to the swift current of the Arkansas
without foothold for n man on either
side. But an engineer suggested a hang
ing bridge, suspended between the walls
of the canyon. The bridge was built
with supports imbedded in the solid rock
and across it the heavy trans-continental
trains fit daily, with nothing but the
slender framework between the river and
the top of the canyon, 1000 feet above
Great iron braces, which look almost
spiderlike in the vastness of the canyon,
have been thrown across the gorge, being
anchored securely in the sheer sides.
Huge cables depend from these braces,
holding a long iron bridge.
OF course one can get a little idea of
the railroad wonders that will be wrought
in the next generation, but it hardly
seems possible that the feats of the last
few years can be surpassed. Probably
the greatest work will be done in the
line OF tunnels for the purpose of cutting
down existing grades.-New York Trib-
une.

Thou art more fair than ever women We're,
Though their proud fame were biazoned in
all art.
And when think of winters cruel hand
Laid hard upon thee, and thy beauty dim
AMI frozen In his grasp, where all the land
Lies pale and silent In the fear Of him,
My soul rebels, and ] lmplore for thee
miracle, That midst the snow there be
magic circle drawn about thy form
That all the trees upon thy lovely marge.
BE left forever green, forever fair;
That thy soft serious waters ever bear
Beneath perpetual summer, spicy-warn.
The vision of an Orient mOnarchs barge
Slow floating gently through enchanted
days.
Then may the timorous, frostanrighted
deer
Steal silent to thy rim, released from fear,
To nibble at their will the cclandine
Ana lily pads. There may the hungry fox
And shuddering squirrel come on thy d.
light
Miraculous from out the frozen night.
And in their wake may all wild creatures
roam.
That SILVER by the icy birch and pine,
And come into thy summer, as to home
SO maySt thou bless them, lovely lake OF
