1t is added that the statements al

practically correct, and that the road
will tap the panhandle serving the
timber mineral and agricultural Sec

turned to salt Lake yesterday. Be

Twnty-One Loaded Cars Burned.

A disastrous accident occurred at
High Bridge siding, between Spencer
and Dubois which delayed traffic II
hours. An extra northbound freight,
Conductor Gallagher, was going in on
the siding to meet another extra bound
south. The grade is steep and the
extra being unable to stop, crashed
into the freight cars on the north
bound train. 1t is understood that
the train was running without air
brakes. The wreck Immediately
caught fire and 81 loaded cars and
three emrties were consumed. The
loads were mostly lumber, but two
were of wool and four of merchandise.
The loss on the wool approximates
$4,000, and the loss on the lumber is
likewise heavy.-Idaho Falls Register.

timber and stone claim in the James
VILE section, where the new Potlatch
company railroad Is under construc-

company continues to crowd men on
the work and that the forces now
number full 500 men. It is the plan
OF the company to have the road conf
pleted to Boville during the winter

which would seriously delay railroad
construction work. The men and sup

First SIGHT of Pike. Peak.

Writing from Goodnight. Texas, to
the Colorado Springs Gazette, Donald
Hewitt says:
Pike first saw the grand peak" or
great snow mountain" as he invari-
ably calls it, at 2 O'Clock on the after
noon OF November 15, 1906. He was
:hen marching along the Arkansas
river n half dozen miles or less below
the point at which the Purgatory or
p. Las Animas river flows into the Ar
kansas. This is not far from the CEN
te: of Bent county, Colorado. 1t is
exactly eighty miles in an air line from
Pueblo and 120 miles from the peak. A
study of Pixies journal with good
map at hand will determine the po-
siticn at that time with considerable
accuracy. The stages of his journey
or the days preceding November 18th
can be easily followed. The two dry
creeks, and very high points of rocks"
passed early in the morning of the 18th
are to be found on the map. Nor is
there the slightest doubt that the
fork discovered before evening on the
south side bearing S. 90 degrees w, is
the Purgatory or Las Animas river.
So far as know no one has yet at
