which is done under contract, but !
understand that twelve Of the twenty
miles have been laid.
''This twelve miles Is supposed to
include all that section OF the line
where blasting was necessary Still,
one cannot say for certain that the
hard work Is completed; rock work
may yet be encountered where it isnot
expected, and thus delay progress.
The contractor has already had con-
siderable more rock work and blasting
than the survey showed would be re-
quired. After the main gas line Is
laid to the city, it will be matter OF
but two or three days before we are
ready to begin serving customers"

heads.

Chicago, Dec. 28-The managers Of
the forty-two western railroads whose
employees have demanded fifteen per
cent increase in wages will probably
meet again today. The probability OF
serious trouble, which was great
enough yesterday, was increased when
the managers decided to take no action
until the trainmen make fresh over
lures. The men have already decided
to &ait until their demands are an
swered by the managers. Unless some
solution Of the deadlock is found, a

In the lower Amazon country the temperature ranges about S7 degrees in the shade all tine year round, says the author of Ten Thousand Miles In a Yacht" 1At Manaos, 1000 miles up the river, the temperature is six or eight degrees higher. Thermometers are little used in that country and little understood. So when a yachtsman re turned down river and was asked by an official at Para, How is the tenn perature at Manaos?" his reply, Eight degrees hotter than here,' ellcited a stare of noncomprehension.
 "At Manaos," said the yachtsman in exclamation, II used to wilt six collars q day; here in Para l only need three q day"
