his answer" I know now that cut
is any point of mountain or ground
higher than the surveyed ground and
the term Is applied to the excavating
necessary at this point to maintain the
grade. a fill Is the grade built through
hollow for the same reason. On av-

SOLID SEA OF SALT.

After leaving Dele the line runs
through barren country with little
station here and there. Low Pass is
one OF these: others are Cline, Knobs,
Barra. Arnosa and Salduro The last
is a word meaning salt and here be-
gins one of the strangest and most inter-
esting spots ] ever saw or heard of. Here
a layer of salt left by the old Lake Bon
neville stretches over an expanse OF
many square miles. The deposit is at
least 10 miles in width and twice as
long and varies from two inches to 20
feet In thickness or depth. As far as
the eye can see TO the south nothing
can be seen but cleaning, snow-white
crystalized salt; as level as the sea
and so far as the eye can discern, just
as vast. This sight Is worth the whole
trip. Tie coating lies between Salduro
and Wendover, center for construc-
ton material. Here huge piles of ties
and rails, and stacks OF spike and bolt
kegs cover a big area. The mountains
of kegs and high piles of rails and ties
drive rome the impression that this is
no railroa1-On- PAPER, but big. trans
continental line with heavy rails and
all trimmings to match. Materials are

PLOT on STATE LINE.

At an imaginary station called Pr
lot on the rout maps, the train crosses
from Utah over into Nevada. A post
marked announces this event. Here
begins the turning and twisting ne
cessary to maintain an easy grade.
Several long, graceful curves bring the
train into Dyke, where the tracks,
themselves come to an end. This win
not be the end long. however, as the
track-layers will push ahead rapidly.
Mr.. Wyche had fine team and strong
light buggy in waiting at this point
and the next 80 miles were covered in
comfort by this means of conveyance.
Beyond the tracks is where you see the
work of driving a line through stu
pendous obstacles. Cuts costing $20.-
600 are nothing unusual and fills cost
Ing twice as much are rather common
to railroad builders. To the layman,
as was. the bigness, vastness of the
work under way seemed wonderful; the
things / saw exceeded all pictures
had previously had In mind. They are
not merely filling In small gullies out
on the Western Pacific; they are filling
chasms big enough 10 be called valleys.
And digging cuts involves the removal
of whole mountainsides.

DEADLY RACE WAR ON.

Henrietta, Okla, Dec 27.-With
every available fighting man sworn in
as deputy and only 1900 rounds OF
ammunition to the town, Henrietta
is fearing a deadly race war as the
result of the lynching of James Cor
don, a negro. Reports of armed ne
groes advancing upon the town have
been received from both the Wildcat
and Clearview settlements.
The firing Of a small negro shack
owned by white man near the Frisco
station yesterday morning caused a
call to arms. Within five minutes
after the fire alarm was given nearly
100 armed men were prepared for an
attack.
Thirty-fve negroes, heavily armed,
passed through Wildcat yesterday in.
yiting the blacks to revolt. They are
camped on the river within ten miles
of Henrietta. More than thirty armed
blacks have gone from Weletta to
Clearview, one Of the thickest negro
settlements in the coal fields. About
fifty stands of small arms were pur.
chased by negroes In Welette before
the hardware stores quit selling to
blacks. I,
Many negroes have left Okmulgee
and are headed toward Wildcat to join
forces with the band that passed
through that town early in the even

has the feeling between the line and
staff of the navy been 50 acute as it
is today as result of the refusal
Of Admiral Brownson to transmit
+, orders from his superior officer, the
president of the United States, as
signing naval surgeon to command
vessel In the navy. In the case Of
the personnel act it was Mr. Roose-
welt, then assistant secretary of the
navy, who acted the part of pacificator
and succeeded in bringing the two
warning factions together in support
of the legislation which for decade
past, though makeshift, has served
to maintain peace between the two
factions in the navy.
In the present instance, however.
the efforts of the president to recon.
cile the surgeons and the line officers
have failed and it is probable that
the whole controversy will be thresh-
ed out on It's merits in congress. This
is much deprecated by both conserva-
tive officers in both line and staff as
llhely W pioVe pIeJuulCldl W lue

believe that in order to succeed IN
securing from congress the four great
battleships, the cruisers, scouts and
submarines which form a part of the
years naval estimates, in addition
to securing legislation that will better
the lot of naval officers personally
the navy must present united front
which cannot be done If just at the

ONE CAUSE FOR SATISFACTION.
Drummer Found Something Geod

A state senator OF New York says he
was riding in the smoking car on q

In the seat in front Of him sat a jew.
elry drummer. He was one Of those

the train stopped to take water and
the conductor neglected to send back
fiagman. A limited express, running
at the rate Of ten miles an hour, came
along and bumped the rear end of the
fl,st train. The drummer was lifted
from hos seat and pitched, head first,
against the seat ahead. His silk hat
was jammed clear down over his ears
He picked himself up and settled back
in his seat. No bones had been
broken. Then he pulled of his hat,
drew long breath and, Strengthening
