WILL DE A RAILROAD PONDER.
An Air Line which Runs Underground q
Good Many Miles.

The latest and biggest project Of David
II. Moffat. the Colorado railroad man,
IL an air line from Denver to Salt Lake
CITY over the continental divide, midway
between the Union Pacific on the north
and the Rio Grande on the south.
Dave Moffat has dug down into his
own pocket and built several railroads
which nobody else had the courage to
tackle. He made money every time But
the present proposition is the stiiest one
he has encountered yet.
As soon as the cheme was broached
it met with opposition from the roads that
would be affected by it. When it was sug-
gested that Moffat was at last up against
a lob too big forhim n that he could not
get a route one who knew him well re-
marked confidently:

He didn't AVE to go to suoh an extreme,
but he did have to furnish the money for
the building. New York capitalists whom
he visited refused to advance any money
for the building, so he said:
Never mind. I'll build il myself. We
have. a little money out in Colorado, / and
my friends. We can all chip in and |
guess among US We ran make up a fair
sized pot. This road is n Of the plums
Of Colorado, but it'll a a little shaking

Il took more than a fair sized pot. az the
preliminary work for the surveys cost a
quarter Of a million dollars. The Bur
linRton had tried TO get over the noun
ain and had become frightened when a
million dollars had been put into the work
and brought no visible results and MOfat
bought the rights the Burlington had
nouUired.
The first fifty miles Of road out Of Denver
cost s0O, 600 a mile. and the thirty-fve miles
IN the foothills to the Main Range Tunnel
cost 500 .OOO a mile, all this Tor grading be-
fore a single tie was laid.

Of Southern iron was sold on Saturday In
the Pittsburg district on the basis Of $3.50
the first half Of 1907 at Birmingham. This
transaction was for account Of meters who
are large stockholders in the plants OF the
sellers, and therefore the quotation Ia not an
index to the foundry iron market.
Steel making iron has moved upward under
insistent demands and the certainty that
bessemer and basic will be scarce for several
months. Latest sales OF bessemer brought
sIs. SO6S2o, and basic is fetching Sio.25@
ais.7S. at shenango and Mahoning furnaces.
Iron ore shipments from the upper Lake ports
are not likely to attain the tonnage FORE
casted for the season. A great deal OF the ore
going down lately to Lake Erie ports has
averaged very high In moisture. The presi-
dent OF one OF the larger iron working plants
in Pittsburg states that almost two million
tons CT water have been 50 far in the season
brought down from Minnesta mines in the
form OF moisture in ore cargoes. Stocks OF
foundry iron In consumers yards are small
and the forwarding OF Southern and Eastern
iron is vexatiously low. Meters do not anti
cipate higher prices for prompt or forward
foundry iron.

THE STORY OF
DORA THORNE

To those who have never read
Bertha NJ. CLAWS famous novel, The
following synopsis will prove inter-
esting, especially as Dora Tharn
win appear in dramatized form At
the Grand Thursday, Feb. is.
This play and book deals with a
beautiful love story in q rural Eng
fish town. An innocent young gifll,
daughter Of lodge keeper Of an
Englishman of high birth, Is loved
by the son of the latter. The
match meets with disfayor OF the
young mans father, but despite the
fact that his father informs him
either TO give up the girl or his nome
and luxury, he chooses Dora Thorne
and marries her.
The young girl pure and honest
creature, loves the young man quite
jas well as he loves her, but through
the efforts of a young sailor who has
loved the girl from early childhood
and who also desires to make her his
wife, the young people are separated
and made to believe later that each
has been unfaithful to the other.
This state comes about as a result
of the efforts Of Lady Charta-is and
the father Of the Earl.
The young sailor returns after a
two years voyage, to find that Dora's
favor has been transferred from him
TO the young nobleman and several
complications arise from this which
for time take on serious aspect,
both for Dora and her lover. The
time arrives when honesty and
faithfulness triumphs and the clos
ing scenes find everything favorable
for the young folks.
The company appearing in ...Dora
Thorne" is said to be of exceptional
merit and the scenery and costumes
are said to be beautiful, the scenic
effects in the last act, the illuminat-
ed gardens at Earl Manor, are said
to be especially commendable.

scenes and situations are seen, the
principal of which is said to be the
saw-mill, in the third act, shown in
complete operation, cutting up real
timber. The saw used is The genu-
inc article, the same as usually seen

cellent band and fine os.hestra ac-

SOUTHERN SKIES
SHINE BRIGHTLY

At last our theatregoers are to
have an opportunity Of seeing one
of the greatest successes among
modern plays. "Under Southern

so great has been the demand for it
that for four seasons it has remain
ed almost exclusively in New York,
Pennsylvania and New England,
playing many of the cities four and
five times during that period.
"Under Southern Skies" first APP
peared in New York City, where it
ran for three months at the Theatre
Republic (now Belasco's Theatre, J
and has proved to be the most sue
cessful play for many years, deal
ing with Southern life. Lottie
Blair Parker, who wrote the play,
also wrote ''Way Down East AMI
she employed the same methods in
writing it that made SWay Down
East so successful. In "Under
Southern Skies there is a strong
and interesting story, and one thai
is peculiar to the South alone. This
story is told in a way that keeps the
audience entertained from tile rise
to the fall of the curtain. The
characters, twenty-three in all, are
distinct types of Southern people,
from the darkey servants up to their
aristocratic masters and mistresses.
A feature of the performance, and
one that never fails to "take the
audience by storm" is Halloween
celebration. This has never been
done upon the stage before and it's
novelty is refreshing. The pumpkin
dance has proved especially. amusing
