Combating Sheep Ailments.

remedy that the sheep will readily eat

Double Track Through Eagle Canon.

! The work of double-tracking the
Eagle River Canon on the main trans
continental line of the Denver & Ric
Grande Railroad just west of Lead
vile, is now completed. The contrac-
tors, the Phillips Construction Com
pauy & O'Gara, who commenced work
little over yerr 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 con-
struct, but the relief afforded by this
great improvement, by which trans
can be more easily operated over the
steep grade on the west side of Ten
nessee Pass, will be worth many times
the cost of construction.
In the five miles of canon work there
are three tunnels with total length
of 800 feet, being 100, 800 and 400 feet
respectively. There are five steel
bridges. with reinforced concrete floor

fine quality of crushed rock. The steel
girders are probably the heaviest ever
used in bridge construction. The track
is laid with new S5-lbs. -to-the-yard
steel, rolled by the Colorado Fuel &
Iron Company at their Pueblo plant,
with tie plates and entirely new track
material throughout. The new line,
which is used for the eastbound. or up
hill haul, reduces the grade from 3.3
per cent to 2. 3 per cent. and the curva-
ture is also greatly lessened.
The enormous outlay considering
the length of new track was necessi-
tated by the constantly increasing bus
mess, both freight and passenger, of
the Rio Grande road, and the tremen-
dous increase in volume anticipated
with the completion of the Western
Pacific year hence.
A popularity of location, and one not
met with elsewhere, is the building of
the tracks on each side of the Eagle
River Between the high walls of the
narrow canon there is just room enough
for the two tracks and the rushing
river.
From one end of the canon to the
other and on both sides, mining for
gold, silver and lead is being carried on
extensively. Shaft houses and ore
bins are perched high up on narrow
ledges, and the wonder is they do not
slide into the river far below. There
is not another canon in the Rocky
Mountains traversed by a railroad
where mining operations can be seen
as in this, the Eagle River Canon.

High School Case Decision.

In the district court last Monday
afternoon Judge Essex rendered his
opinion in the case long to de-
mittee is composed of three members
or five members. The opinion was a
very long one and gave evidence of
much study and research on the points
of law involved, nearly three hours be-
ing taken up in the reading of the doc
ument- According to the decision of
Judge Essex the high school committee
is composed of the five members of
School District No. IL, although the
board has the legal option and discre-
ton Of delegating the duties of the
high scrool committee to a sub-com-
mittee of three if they so desire.
The law under which this decision
was rendered reads as follows: "In
any county shall be all included in one
school district the board of such school
district shall have the same powers of
establishing and organizing high
school as are given to the boards of
two or more school districts and in
such case the high school committee
shall be the board of such school dist
riot, or such three members as they
may select"
The cause in hearing was entitled,
IN. r, McCauley, plaintiff, VS. Carrie
Money, defendant" and consisted of
proceedings by mandamus instituted to
compel Carrie E. Money. as superin-
tendent of Otero county, and ex-officio
committee to sign a certain warrant
issued to the Merchants Publishing
Company of Denver, which had been
assigned to the plaintiff in the case.
The opinion of Judge Essex was a
very elaborate one, covering in great
detail every point at issue. but the gist
of the opinion is contained in the judg-
ment of the court which reads as fol-
lows:
"That the board of directors of
School District No. IL in Otero county,
Colorado, legally constitute and are
the high school committee for High
School Committee, No. l, or Union
High School District No. l. in said
District No. IL, organized and existing
and henceforth are entitled to perform
the duties in law devolving upon such
committee with all legal powers Incl.
dent thereto.
"That such board have the legal op.
tion and discretion of delegating the
duties and powers of such high school
committee to sub committee of three
by them selected from the members OF
the district school board.
"That (pro formal the county super
intendent of schools of Otero county,
Colorado, is and shall be ex-ofiicio an
additional member of said high schoo
committee and shall preside at the
meetings thereof.

BIG RAILROAD YEAR.
Construction Has Been Nearly a Record
Breaker.

CHICAGO. Dec. 2s.-According to the
statistics compiled by the Railway Age
railroad construction in the United States
has been nearly as heavy in 1907 as In
1906, which was the heaviest year since
1883. Tit total number OF miles of new
track laid this year has been $3.50. Of
which 422 miles were in Louisiana, 51 in
Florida. 1856 in South Dakota, 314 In Texas
and 81 in Washington.
In Canada during the same time 72S
miles were built and in Mexico 349 miles.
The greater part of the new track was
laid before the inanclal ~stringency, only
a small amount Of mileage being con-
structed after September.
The orders for freight and passenger
cars and locomotives In 1907 were smaller
than at any time during the last seven
years.
The volume of orders for this part of
railroad equipment was about So per ceut.
Of the total of 1905 and 1906.
The year has been notable for the in
crense in the number of block signals in
stalled, the increase having been 3,721 for
the twelve months ending December 81.
