Don Artero Of old Mexico was no
don at all. he was cattle stealer.
Don Chuaya, his neighbor was a real
don and cattle owner. Don Artero
settled near Don Chuaya. He wasn't
a desirable neighbor, and tine govern
ment was asked to remove him. The
government fingered. Five hundred Of
Don Chuaya's steers got mixed up
with the other dons herds, and the
government was asked to send troops.
The government was very sorry, and
so forth, but 1t had none to spare.
Don Chuaya at once proceeded to
hustle. He called In and armed his
retalners to the number Of fifty and
made descent on the other don with
the avowed object OF capturing 1000
of his biggest and fattest steers. The
other don heard of the contemplated
raid, and there were an ambush and a
fight, and the forces of Chuaya We're
put to flight Twelve of them were
killed and the others licked out Of
their boots When true don has
bucked up against the game and got

up as a hundred Uncle Rubes rolled
into one. He swells with Indignation.

to get back at the other feller II It

drop of blue blood.
Don Chuaya raised hundred men
this time. He figured that n hundred

happened that Don Artero was mean
enough to recruit his own force to
seventy-hve, and each one Of them was
worth three poems as fighters. When
the forces came together the fight did
not last ten minutes. Don Chuaya's
men were defeated.
The next raid was made hy Don
Artero. and he gobblad mp a thousand

the next two years he bothered the life

head low with shame and humiliation.

Work Under Way Is of Gigantic

Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

In the construction of the new Pa
cific coast extension of the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad, very satisfactory
progress has been made during the year
1907.
The work under way is of gigantic
proportions and particularly is this true
of the California end of the line The
most difficult part is that portion be-
tween Oroville, Cal, and the Nevada
state line. Between Niles and Aitamons
three tunnels are being cut, aggregatins
4,S00 feet in length. Between Orovllle
and the state line sc tunnels are being
bored, a total of 30,71 feet in length.
One Of the tunnels is over 1000 fee.
long. There is enc % mile streteh OF
road that will cost 100000 a mile to
build.
The object Of this enormous expendi-
ture is to secure direct and low
grade route through the mountains
Where the line crosses the Sierras-at
Beckwith Pass-the altitude is only 81
O19 feet, or less than the altitude of
Denver. The engineers have succeeded
in locating a line SO low that there Will
be no snowsheds, no double headers and
no tremendous operating expenses.
In attaining these practical results
the Western Pacific has secured Won
derful scenic route. that equals, if it
does not excel, the Denver & Rio
Grande scenic line through Colorado
and Utah. A contractor speaking of the
route down the Feather river described

With the completion of the line the Rio
Grande-Western PACING route will, it is
said, be the most picturesque of all
transcontinental lines.
Track is already laid from Salt Lake
City nearly to the Nevada state line,
a distance about go miles. In California
track has been laid in Oakland and in
Stockton, but up to. this time the eff
forts of the contractors have been d.
rected to preparing a roadbed. Early In
the spring track laying Will be started

and it will be pushed forward with
great rapidity.
Although a little early to forecast the
completion of the line, it is the belief
of the builders that trains will be in or
Grafton over the entire route by the
first of January, 1909, and if the full
completion earlier by six months is
among the possibilities.
AT present there are approximately
5000 men at work, and double that
could they be procured. The food and
housing at camps are superior to those
usually furnished men engaged in rail-
road construction. The bunk houses
electric lighted and steam heated, and
these are great luxuries for men en-
gagged in manual labor. The food is
good and abundant, the camps are we'll
located, and climate conditions are all
that could possibly be desired.
Among the curious things encountered
in the construction work is enor-
nous deposit of pure salt. found on the
west side of the Utah desert. not far
from the Nevada state line. This singu-
lar deposit is Is miles long and miles
wide. Excavations to the depth of more
than 6 feet are still in solid salt. The
salt as found is suitable for certain
commercial purposes. stock, etc., and
can readily be refined for table use.
Internationally this section was once
the bed of the Great Salt lake, and
even now may have a subterranean con-
nection with that mysterious body OF
water, more than a hundred miles dis
tant.
The completion of the Western Pa
cific extension will bring into much
closer commercial relations the states

IMPROVE THE FARM.
The Study of Agriculture Being
Taught in Lincoln Schools.

Lincoln, Kan, Jan. 1.-THE study
of agriculture is being taught in many
of the schools of Lincoln county,
thanks to County Superintendent A. j.
Stanley, who has the welfare of the
schools at heart. 1t is claimed that
Lincoln is the only county west of the
Missouri river in which this subject
is receiving attention in the schools,
and superintendent Stanley has sue
ceeded in having the subjects of agri-
culture taken up in many of them. He
urges the teaching of seed selection
and testing, especially of corn, soil
fertilization, urging the necessity of
farmers using all the manure accumu
lating on the farm for this purpose,
the planting and growing of such
plants as will renitrogenize the soil,
the preservation of soil moisture, and
arousing a general interest in all farm
topics and farm life of the boys and
girls so as to stop the general drift OF
our young people the towns and
cities. Mr.. Stanley believes all teach
ers can equip themselves to present
some of these points. He says the
plan is meeting with much enthus-
iaSm.

and its causes:
ssThe car shortage Is not altogether the
fault of the railroads. The big car users
are partly responsible in not preparing
