WOMAN DREAMS OF WRECK
When Within Short Distance Of High
Trestle Engine Is Derailed.

There were two unusual features about
little wreck that happened on the Rio
Grande Western railway. near Barclay,
fifteen miles out OF Salt Lake City, on
the branch that runs TO Park City about
clock Sunday afternoon. One was the
lucky fact that IL occurred about one
hundred feet from q trestle 100 feet high
The other unusual feature OF the wreck
was that one OF the passengers, Il young
woman, had foreknowlcdge of the wreck
and was expecting II to occur For
two nights In succession last week she
dreamed OF her railway journey and in
her dreams foresaw the wreck.
The engine pulling train 10l. local
passenger due in Salt Lake from Park
City shortly after in tho afternoon, was
derailed Just as the train was leaving
Barclay behind. The big drive wheels of
the engine left the track within few
feet OF the high trestle this side OF Bar
clay. but fortunately the train was
brought TO a seandtsill within a few yards
have meant nearly certain death for
every passenger on the train. The engi-
ncer was able to halt his train owing
to the fact that Barclay had just been
passed and the rate OF speed he had at
talned was not great.
To the young woman, a school tcachsr
whose name WAS not learned, the wreck
was not unexpected. as she had foreseen
IL In her dreams for TWO nights. One fea-
ture was reversed. In her dreams the
wreck had occurred after the train had
crossed the trestle. To a Salt Lake CITY
passenger she told the story OF her
dreams after the trip to this city was re-
sumcd. The train was delayed In its ar
rival here about three hours. No one was
injured.

THE WESTERN PACIFIC.
How the Wording of Contract Looks TO
the ogden Standard.

In commenting on the status Of the
says:
"The awarding of the contract, by
the Western Pacific railroad TO the
Utah Construction company, for the
building of 800 miles of road through
the State Of Nevada, beginning AT
Wells and extending to Beckwith Pass,
assures tho completion of the Western
Pacific and puts at rest all rumors of
the compromise whereby the Gould and
Hartman interests were to jointly use
the Central Pnci6c tracks from Wells
to Winnemucca.
''Until this last contract was Let
there was much speculation as 10 the
real intent of the Gould people. The
movements Of the Goulds were looked
upon as in part a bluff, but now IT must
he admitted that all indications point
to an early completion of the Western
Pacific from Salt Lake to San Fran
cisco.
''The line will be of incalculable ben
eft to Salt Lake. adding, as IL does,
10 the Importance of that city as
railroad center, but Ogden will not fail
TO receive some advantages, although
being deprived of much OF the over
land travel that originates in Gould
territory or is diverted to the Denver
g. Rio Graude Mt Denver.
"a competing railroad from Salt
Lake City, paralleling the Central Pa
cific to the coast, would have injured
Ogden a few years ago, but the traffic
is so heavy today that one line like the
Central Pacific cannot handle all the
business offered and the Western Pa
cific will only relieve the congestion
in freight and have no effect on the
number of train crews out of Ogden
Furthermore the Western Pacific will
prove TO be a town builder and a
stimulus 10 Pacific coast trade, and,
inasmuch as the Central Pacific must
profit by the industrial expansion Of
that section, the time Will come when
that road will once more he congestcd
with business and double tracking will
be made imperative Had the Central
Pacific been double tracked when the
Western Pacific would never have been
constructed.
''The Utah Construction company,
having obtained the entire contract for
the construction Of the Western Paci-
fic. is to be ranked with the larger rail
road contracting companies In the Uni
ted States No other company ever
undertook the building of an entire
road of that length, requiring the equip
mcnt necessary for the construction of
the Western Pacific. The success Of
the Utah Construction company, under
the able management Of W. H. Watts,
is a source of local pride, for the com,
pany is financed and managed by Og-
den men -

Last year the efforts OF the students
were devoted TO enhancing the general
appearance Of the grounds, Tons OF rub
bish were collected and burned All the
loose wood lying on tho seventy-two odd
acres OF land was gathered in one pile
Besides doing this cleaning work. the
students get out over two hundred trees.

busy and work, bur every member of the
faculty works shoulder TO shoulder with
them. President Kingsbury personally
supervised Il part OF the work. Professor

much work In supervising the general
cleaning up OF the grounds.
Not only do the male students and
faculty members get busy on@thls oc-
casion, but the ladies always prepare an

which Hes off to the north of the city,
and which has been one OF the big advsc-
tising features OF the school. Is treated
