WORK TO BEGIN AT ONCE
ON NORTHWESTERN

Work is to begin at once on the
construction of the Northwestern rail
road, the line that runs for a distance
of GO mics flcn Huntington to Iron
Dyke. This Is tho good tiding that
". Ii. Wnttis heat of the Utah Con-
struetion &c snapy brings with him on
his return to this otiy, says the Ogden
Journal OF March 30. The work will
be resumed under an entirely new con-
tract and will be pushed with the Gus
tomary vigor of the construction com
pany throughout the season.
Mr.. Watts would not be quoted on
the amount that would be involved on
the piece of work as regard dollars and
cents, but shrewd guess made by one
familiar with the conditions through
which tie lre is t. be const sacted,
rlaees the total cost in the ncighhor-
mood Of $750,000.
The first move that will be made
will be theboring of the tunnel 50
miles out from Huntington, The tun-
mel viii be 5000 felt long. II runs
through solid rock. The machinery
for this work is already on the ground,
IL fact, the work is progressing as it
was last fall when the panic in the
east caused the work to be stopped.
II will now be resumed with a force
of $50 men to begin with under the
personal supervision of w. HI. Watts.
Four shifts viii be used on the work
OH the tunnel and the work will be
prosecuted both night and day. The
work will be under the general super
vision Of William. Ashton, chief en-
gineer for the Oregon Short Line. Mr..
Watts will take with him his office
force from this city and will be on
the ground to give his personal super
vision to the work throughout the sea-
son.
The line of so miles is intended to
open up number of copper proper
ties. This is significant considering
the present low price of conner, and
it is looked upon as meaning that the
men at the head of the enterprise look
for better times in railroad circles rs
better prices for metals.
Ultimately the Northwestern will
constitute an essential section of thr
water grade line that has been pr
ieeted between Huntington and Lew
ton 1t will open up valuable terr
tory and the fact that the work is to
begin on this important line is de-
cidedly encouraging.

THE WESTERN PACIFIC
IS A GREAT LINE

nous engineer, Virgil Bogue, into his
Office and said, Mr. Bogue, can you
build me a line from Salt Lake to
San Francisco?''
There were physician conditions that
made this question most difficult to
answer, but Bogue had been over the
route and he nodded his head affir-
matively. In a few weeks operations
had begun. Bogue declared that he
would cross the rugged Sierras and
carry the line into San Francisco with
out using a grade of more than one
per cent. Engineers all called him
crazy Engineers all over the country
grinned. Bogue's promises were veri-
fled when the surveys were completed
and construction work was begun on
October 20, 1900.
Bogue now declares that the success
of the undertaking from an engineer
ing standpoint is assured.
The grade being hewed through the
Sierra Nevada mountains, according to
the engineers, is a feat secon dto none
in the world. While the Western Pa
cifie consumes more than LAT miles
more than the Southern Pacific on
NfOnSihS tht tue AtHlTdl d.
cifc has a grade of "a with many 10
degree curves, while the maximum
grade on the Western Pacific will be
| pen cent and the maximum curves
5 degrees The Central Pacific alt-
tude at the summit. is 70l9 while the
Western Pacific pierces Beckwith pass
5000 feet lower, eliminating on account
of the Chinook winds, great depth of
snow and the necessity for snow sheds
There are 40 miles of snow sheds on
the Central Pacific.
OF the 43 tunnels on the road the
longest of these is the Spring Garden
tunnel, half way up the western slope
of the Slerras. 1t is 1886 feet long.
The Beekwith pass bore is next with
6060 feet of underground track. Both
OF these will be finished within few
months.
Seven steel brodges are completed in
California, over the San Jonouin near
Stockton, between Stockton and Sac
amento, the Mokelumne bridge be-
.ween Stockton and Sacramento. the
american river bridge near Sacramen-
%, the Yuma river Lsidge near Marys-
1ine, the Middle Fork bridge near Orc
fille and the Middle Fork bridge near

WOODHOUSE HELD
BONDS $4,000
GRAVE QUESTION OVER
WHO DREW FIRST GUN
District Attorney Ducker Attends Pre-
liminary Examination and Finds
A Conflict of Evidence.

The preliminary examination of Har
ry Woodhouse for the killing of Harry
tasey in the barroom of the Golconda
Hot Springs hotel at Golconda. Friday
morning, March 20, was concluded be-
fore Judge Langwith last evening, and
as a result Woodhouse has been held to
appear beTore the grand jury, with
his bonds placed at $4,000 This was
furnished by the accused man
The holding of Woodhouse to the
grand jury and the placing of his
bonds at $4,000 will come somewhat as
a surprise to those whose only knowl-
edge of theaffair is that CLEANED from
the published reports concerning it,.
The general impression has been that
Woodhouse ~ras blameless in the affair
and that killed his man in self
defense.
district Attorney Ducker, who re-
turned from Goleonda last evening,
where he took care Of the state s inter
ests at the preliminary examination,
states that there was conflict in the
evidence as to who pulled the first
gun Some of the witnesses were posi-
tive that dollhouse had taken the
initiative in drawing a revolver, while
others asserted that Casey was the first
10 bring out his deadly weapon.
The conflict was probably response
BILE for Judge Langwith ordering the
defendant held TO the grand jury and
putting him under heavy bonds.

MINING EXCHANGE
PLANS TO DISBAND

SAN FRANCISCO, March 30.-It
is probable that the San Francisco
Mining exchange oneof the two boards
handling mining stocks in Bush street
will soon oe disbanded. For many
months this board has done little bust
ness. Although most of the Nevada
stocks are listed with it, there has been
very little trading in the San Fran
cisco Mining Stock exchange. 1t has
long ben the belief that the passing
of the smaller board was only a matter
of time.
Yesterday it became known that the
definite action had been takn towards
its dissolution. f. H. Kramer, presi-
dent of the exchange explained the
situation as follows:
''The question of disbandment was
thoroughly discussed at the last meet
ing. The members have authorized
me, as president to obtain the opinion
of all members in writing. According
to our constitution a two tirds vote
in writing is necessary to disband
Many of the members acre in Ne
vada and all of the replies will not
be received for a week or more If
more than third of the members
are in favor of keeping up the board
it will be continued in operation.
1--WE are n good shape financially.
There is more than $4,000 in the
treasury, but there is so little business
transacted that many of the members
think it not worth while to continue -
The exchange has many prominent
men on its roll, but few of them
have never entered the pit
The opinion in the street is that the
two thirds vote needed will he very
easily obtained.

Unless the contractors of Reno EN-

ing constructed in Reno will be delay
ed indefinitely Father Thomas M.
Tubman head of the parish refused
the edifiee and the contractors refused
to revoke theopen shop order even to
satisfy the wishes of the congrega-
ton. The labor trouble is particularly
serious since an unnamed donor has
offered to pay for the interior deeora-
tions provided the work is completed
at once.

ber and the district deputy, members
of Royal Oak lodge, visited Pasadena
Friday night and attended a reception
given by Alexandria, lodge In honor Of
Supreme Secretary Williams of the
Sons of Saint George, the illustrlous
representative of the order. About
thirty members of Alexandria lodge
We're present and listened with pro-
found attention to the eloquent re-
marks OF the supreme secretary. who
pointed out to them the various utili-
ties OF various members of lodges and
how all working together would ad-
vance the cause of fraternity. He
stated that he did not look for the
Sons Of Saint George to be ever very
strong numerically. in comparison to
other great fraternities, but that the
bond OF nationality. all being English
men or the sons thereof, produced q
union that was matchless for harmony
and the good fraternal work for which
the organization was noted. Brother
Cooper, the district representative of
the California grand lodge. made a few
choice remarks, compltmenting the
speech by the secretary as well as
the work done that evening by the
lodge, which initiated candidate, one

UNITED ANCIENT ORDER
DRUIDS

Morton Grove No. 81 met in regular
session last Monday and several APP
plications were received and acted
upon. This grove is still working and
conferred the Druid's degree in regu-
lar form on two candidates. In fact,
the candidates thought the work too
full and too regular, but their views
were not allowed to prevail. How
ever, they were duly impressed with
the ritualistic work.
Gloria grove No. 1874 held very in
teresting meeting last Friday evening
and several knotty propositions were

the grove. The Bard's degree was
