RAILROAD MAKES
 GOOD PROGRESS
Track Will Be Laid to Mile 4S by August l5, Wind and Rain
 Permitting.

Track will be laid to the end of mile IS on the railroad by August l5, wind and weather permitting, and possibly few days sooner. Excessive rain during the past few days has impeded operations somewhat but the grade is practically finished to the end of As, to which point the transfer station will where it has remained for six months. The track end is now about half a mile beyond the transfer station.
 The new transfer station will be where the wagon road crosses the rail- road grade and is the best point for transferring material from the railroad for transportation ahead of the track. From that point the track runs up on the hillside to the first tunnel, quar- ter of a mile away.
 Tunnel l will be finished by Septem- Der l, according to the calculations of H. A. Mcclure, who is experimenting the boring. The heading was in 6O6 feet Saturday night and the tunnel is to be about 69O feet long. The bench is about 90 feet behind the heading and at the present rate of boring the tunnel will be ready for the rails early in September. The south portal has not been established although the cut which approaches it is nearly forty feet deep. From the appearance of the face the engineers think the portal can be fixed within ten feet and boring will begin with steam drills.
 As soon as the rails are laid through tunnel l work will begin on the big trestle just beyond. This will require nearly l.OOO,O GOO feet of timber and it will be built from the end of the track, except the foundations which are going in now. Other bridges and trestles beyond that point are going in now and no delay will be caused to track l Ieying by bridge building after the big one is finished. One long one is build ing across the glacial moraine on mile | 50 with a truss over the stream. Two others with trusses across Placer river are to be constructed on the loop on mile 5l. but Watson x Snow, the bridge contractors, expect to be able to build them very quickly after the track reaches that point.
 Grating is proceeding well on miles 50 and 5I and can be easly finished by the time the track can be carried that far. Work on the high trestle will begin early in September and the task will require at least month and half, so that it will be late in October before the rails can be laid beyond it. From that trestle track can be laid rapidly down Placer canyon, through the se- ries of six tunnels to the open valley at the beginning of mile 54, by the middle of November, and perhaps ear Her. There another long trestle will check rail laying for a short time l Most of the grade is finished from 54 through Placer valley and if favorable fall weather permits its cohpletion track can be laid to the head of Turna- gain Arm by early winter.
 Boring of the three unfinished tun. nels on mile 5 continues at satisfac' tory rate under the supervision ot M'

POOR MANS PARADISE.

Miller, who IS vice president of the
St. Louis, Brownsville aud Mexico
road and an active promoter of de-
velopment in that part of Texas ly-
Ing between the Gull Of Mexico
and the lower course of the Rio
Grande.
From the numbers of homeseek-
ers who have visited the region.
and the letters of inquiry received
daily, Mr.. Miller expects a great
influx of new people during the
winter and spring, and he predicts
that within FIVE years the great
ranches there will have been re-
placed by villages and small farms.
The prediction will doubtless be
fulfilled, for with irrigation from
the Rio Grande. and from its nu
merous arid Aan wells, the region is
ideal for - gardening.

Success of al Experiment TO Transfer
Animal to National Park.

Scenes that men rever again
may witueAs in the Western Hem
isphere are now being enacted OF
the great mesa along the Coas
Range, whore the only surviving
elk outside OF parks in the United
States. the remnant of the great
bands of the antlered herd that
once roamed Me Western plains
by thousands, are being tenn
porarily taken into captivity to be
again liberated within a day Oh

Sequoia National Park, near the
/ Yosemite Valley, some 100 miles
to the north of the present round
/ up
/ Stirring sceues are those CON
nected with the capture of this
autlered band. Men whose life
time training has been among the
cattle herds of the West are engag-
ed in the work. Fifty of these
picturesque vaqueros, the pick of
the men who attend to countless
herds on the great cattle ranches,
are leading in the work of round
ing up the elk, and these animals,
though swift of limb, appear not
to be able to escape the moose
thrown by the practiced hand of
their pursuers.
A year ago an effort was made
to take the elk into captivity to
transfer them to the Sequoia
National Park, but it was doomed
to failure. An attempt was made
to drive the animals. On that
occasion two bands of elks were
headed northward by vaqueros.
When the animals found they were
being driven they scattered ont
over the vast territory that is
practically a desert, adjacent to
the Coast Range, ard efforts to
stop their flight resulted in the
death from exhaustion of about
thirty large elk. Now the new
method of lassoing and tying the
elk individually is in operation,
and has proved successful. After
two days work thirty-two elk have
been placed in captivity in a strong
stock corral, and their transmission
to the park will be easy.
The history of this band is
unique. When the last OF their
kind had disappeared from the
West and when it was presumed

A Bad Mix.Up.

Clyde Fitch was reading extracts
from one of his many volumes OF
newspaper clippings.
Here, he said. is an account
from a Bay City paper of the pre-
sentation of gold-headed cane to
the Rev. John Hopkins, D. D.
The story must have gotten mixed
somehow with another about a
patent hog-killing machine. At
any rate this is how it happened:
Several of the Rev. DR..
Hopkins friends called upon him
yesterday, and after a brief con-
versation the unsuspecting hog was
seized by the hind legs and slid
along a beam until he reached the
water tank. His friends explained
the object of their visit, and pre-
scented him with a very handsome
gold-headed butcher, who grabbed
him by the tail, swung him around,
slit his throat from ear to ear, and
in less than a minute the carcass
was in the water, Thereupon he
came forward and said there were
times when the feelings over
powered one, and for that reason
he would not attempt to do more
than thank those around him for
the manner in which such a huge
animal was cut into fragments was
simply astonishing. The doctor
concluded his remarks, when the
machine seized him; and If less
time than it takes to write it the
hog was cut into fragments and
worked up into delicious sausage.
The occasion will long be re-
membered by the doctors friends
as one of the most delightful of
their lives. The best pieces can be
procured for IS cents a pound, and
we are sure those who have sat so
long under his ministry will rejoice
that he has been treated so hand

THE FELLOWS THAT
TRAMPED 1t WITH LEE.
RY W1LLIAf E. DuMAs.

BY WILLIAM r DUMAS
While over tie Southland the voices
OF speakers and poets let fall
The accents of praise for the chieftain
So richly deserving It all,
I think It would please the great Cap
tain
If he could COX down here and see
That some one remembers his heroes,
The fellows that tramped it with Lee.
How oft in his tent at the midnight
He plotted the brilliant campaignl
How oft, ere the daylight was dawning,
They followed in sleet and in rainI
How oft they rushed into the battle,
Their hearts in tumu1t of glee,
The steady, the ready cid fellows
The fellows that tramped it with Lee.
Tho mighty the brain in its schemes,
The feet at its bidding must run,
And victories on PAL er are proven
Alone by the privates that level the
gnn;
So, great as the Captain we honor
And great may his fame ever bel
It's shared by the shaggy old heroes,
The fellows that tramped it with Lee.
It's easy il shock of the battle
To pass ont of life with smile,
A hero secure Of his 1aurels;
But to sweat with the rank and the
file,
And afterwards live and be patient,
Still struggling, appeareth to me
Yet nobler; and such be the fellows
The fellows that tramped it with Lee.
They followed their dauntless comman-
der,
Him who to the warriors art
United the lore of the scholar
And the patriots temperate heart;
And yet in their Jealous devotion
There men were as great as he
These grizzled, grim, veteran soldiers.
These fellows that tramped it with Lee
The frosts OF the winters are whitening
The locks that the bullets once kissed,
And soon they will meet with a foeman
The stoutest can never resist
To us they bequeath inspiration,
When at length, mustered out, they
are free
To cross DER the River of Silence
And tramp it again there with Lee.
And so, if the General is conscious
Of things that are done here below,
He'd be glad if the speakers and poets
Some sprigs of their laurels bestow
On the privates that won him his glory
And backed him from mountains to
sea,
On them, both the dead and the living,
The fellows that tramped it with Lee.
