Improve Aspen Tunnel.

The Aspen tunnel of the Union
Pacific, few miles east of this place, is
to be lighted by electricity from plant
located near one of the portals. This
tunnel Is the longest on the Union
Pacific system, being more than mile
in length, and as trains proceed slowly
while passing through, the passengers
are in darkness for several minutes.
Incandescent electric lights are to be
placed along the walls of the bore and
when the plant is in operation trains
will be almost as brightly illuminated
while in the tunnel as when in the
open Other improvements are also to
be made to the tunnel. including
strengthening with reinforced concrete.
This week party of the leading U. r.
officials. together with some government
inspectors made an examination as to
the safety of the tunnel and looking to

GAVE HIS NAME TO STEAK.
How the Famous Porterhouse Came
to Be So Termed.

On almost every bill of fare are
seen the words 'porterhouse steak"
Now, most people know what a por.
terhouse steak is, having on some oc-
casion eaten one, or at least piece
of beef that went by that name, but
few people know how the name itself
originated. Years ago there was a
hosiery near Harvard university kept
by a man named Porter Soon this
tavern became famous for its viands,
especially for it's cuts of meats. The
stranger stopping there for a meal
and not knowing exactly what to Or
der would be advised by his genial
host, Mr. Porter, to order steak. So
good were his steaks that travellers
often spoke of them, and gradually
began referring to them as the
steak you get at Porter's house.
From that 1t was but a short time
before they were referred to as the
porter house steak" Since then
butchers all over the country have
found out the way in which Mr.. Por-
ter cut his famous steak, and have
been making the same cuts them
selves, hence the porterhouse steak
has been served the country over.
Only month or so ago the old Por-
ter house was moved back to make
room for a row of tenement houses
that are now being built in front
of it,

Chairman Mcleod of the Western
Passenger Association Is authority
for the stasement that during the
past ten years 272, 600 persons have
emigrated from the United States
to Canada. During the twelve
months ending June 80, this year,
IS, 1873 persons from the United
States made homestead entries in
Western Canada. These represent
population of about 32, 900. This
movement to Canada has been due
mainly to the activity Of agents
working IN different parts of this
country. They have presented al
Turing pictures of the wonderful
possibilities Of that country and IN
every community they found those
who were quick to believe the
stories. OF the thousands who have
gone there, many have been disap-
pointed and the reports they have
sent back have been entirely differ
ent from the stories told by the land

gold" that causes their downfall.
The other day in Denver young
man stole $4,000 from the Northern
Coal q Coke CO., and then reported
that he had been robbed. Later he
confessed to having stolen the money
and took the officers to where he had
cached it away. The young man
was a member Of the Y. M. G. A.,
and leader in the Baptist church.
lie had held the position of pay
master for the coal company for
several years, and had been sent on
his regular monthly trip TO pay off
the miners, when the thought came
to him of stealing the money and
telling his employers that he had
BEEN held up. The young man was
soon to have been married and the
desire for a "slittle extra money"
with which to carry him through
that important event became so
strong within him that he could not
resist the temptation to obtain it In
way which he thought would be
easy and no one would be the wiser.
But when the officers began ques-
tloning him closely for descriptions
of the alleged robbers and other
facts in connection with the alleged
hold-up, he became so conscience
stricken that be broke down and
told the story of his crime. Hold
ing the position he did, that young
man had comparatively bright
future before him, but it has been
swept away and he will go through
life bearing stain that time will
not efface. The good name and
standing he had held among his
circle of friends for years was lost
in a moments time. Other young
men should profit by his experience,
but many of them will not-they
will In Que way or another continue
to unlawfully accumulate wealth and
when they reach the point where
they think they are about to enjoy
the fruits of their ill.gotten gains,
the world finds out their sins and
they are made to pay the penalty Of
their crimes.
