RIO oRANpE IMPROVEMENTS.
New Double Track Laid Through
Eagle River Canon.

Denver.-The work OF double.track.
ing the Eagle River Canon on the
main ntrans.continental line OF the Den
YER 4 Rio Grande railroad just west
OF Leadyille. is now completed. The
contractors. the Phillips Construction
Company a. O'Gara, who commenced
work little over year ago. have
finished their contract. and one OF the
greatest engineering feats OF the year
has been successfully accomplished.
The new second track built through
the narrow Eagle River Canon has
cost more than 100000 per mile TO
construct. but the relief Afforded by
this great Improvement, by which
trains can be more easily operated
over the steep grade on the west side
OF Tennessee Pass. will bc worth many
times the cost OF construction.
In the five miles Of canon work
there are three tunnels with a total
length OF 500 feet. being 100. 800 and
400 feet respectively. There are nve
steel bridges. with reinforced con
crete floor slab. with ballast under the
track Of n fine quality OF crushed
rock. The steel sirders are probably
tho heaviest ever used In bridge con

Company at their Pueblo plant. with

terial throughout. The new line. which
is used for the castbound. or uphill
haul. reduces the grade from 80 per
cent. to % per cent. and the curyn'

The enormous outlay considering

LOVE AS A DISEASE SYMPTOM

From London comes a report
that one Of King Edwards symp-
toms which greatly disturbs his
physicians is his manifestly in.
creased devotion to bis wife. We
learn that his majesty's heart is
weak and it is feared that his re-
newed affection for the queen in.
dicates that he is aging rapidly,
All the court is agog at Edwards
attitude toward her majesty, and
the rumor that the king had kissed
the queen spread alarm through
the palace.
While the symptoms of super
affection for ones wife are not en-
tirely new, this novel system OF
diagnosis certainly is. Men have
been known to take renewed in,
terest in their wives without arous-
ing suspicion of impending disso
luton. Wives know all about this
thing. When hubby somo morn
ing cooes tonderly across the
breakfast table that wifey IS grow
ing more girlish every day, wifey
begins to suspect something At
first, no doubt, she was startled
and then fiattered to bushes by
such words, but she grew in wis
dom. The ordinary husband is
only bungler when he assumes
to match bis diplomacy against
feminine instinct. So that in the
natural course of things any mani.
festations of renewed ardor on his
part only served to freeze up his
better half in guarded defense. A
kiss at breakfast may gain a hus.
band an extra hour or two that
night at, the club, but il won't

but trainload of blossoms would
not square it a second time.
Not much was thought of King
Edwards sudden outburst Of devo-
tion for the queen, for while he is
a sovereign of mighty realm be
is first a husband and is amendable
to the rules of domestieity just as
though he had no great armies and

couldn't be accounted for, for it
wasn't natural. Grave men of
medicine pondered deeply and
came to the only reasonable con.
clusion that it boded illness for his
majesty. And now he is being con-
tinuously watched for additional
evidence. One evening be stayed
at home and played dominoes with
the queen. There was consulta
tion of experts the next day. At
another time he said "good morn
ing" as he passed her in the hall.
Again it was observed that he held
his consort's hand a full minute
one evening at the opera, hut this
might have been accounted for on
the score of observation-disclosures.
Once his mojesty's hand slipped
bundle of bills into her maJestY's
hand with a suggestion that she

special favor to ask. No wonder
