Horn canyon-shortens Route to
Denver BY Several Hundred Miles.
Direct Line From Seattle to Gulf.

Cheyenne, Feb. THAT the Bur.
lington railroad directors have ap
proved Of q new transcontinental
route, from its connection with the
Northern Pacific in Montana to its
terminus at Kearney, Neb.. vas stat
ed by General Manager Holdredge Of
the Burlington In q hearing before the
state engineer Of Wyoming today.
The hearing was for the purpose OF
listening to q protest by the Burling-
ton against the erection Of a power
dam on the Big Horn river by A. M.
Boyson.
The Burlington claims a right Of
way through the canyon and it will.
interfere with Its purpose to give~the
country q new transcontinental line
II the canyon is blocked by a dam. this
being the only route out Of the Big
Horn Basin in Wyoming for the road
the Burlington 10 now building.
The cutoR will open up much new
and rich country in the Big Horn Ba-
sin. placing the towns OF Basin, Wor-
land, Garland, Lowell and Frannie on
the main line Of . transcontinental
railroad by connecting with the line
which the Burlington has already
built from Winchester to Frannie, the
junction point Of the Basin and Cody
branches.
From Frannie 1t is very probable.
according to plans which are being
considered. that the line will connect
with the Northern Pacilc's branch
line at Bridger.
The proposed cutoff offers a much
shorter route from Billings to Den.
yer by saving between 200 and 800
miles, thereby giving, by means of
the Northern Pacific and gulf roads
running into Denver, the shortest line
possible from Seattle and the Pacific
northwest to the gulf. and competing
with the Northwestern and other
roads in some OF the richest country
in southern and central Wyoming.

st. Johns Chapel in Varick street, one or the
oldest places Of worship this city, will be closed
by Trinity Church February 1, and in the not
distant future the historic building will probably
be down and the property sold. The work

of Trinity Church, when last night az MS

dole OF bread consisting Of sixty-seven loaves Is
given every Saturday morning to the poor parish

John Leake many years ago
The foundation stone OF St Johns Chapel was
laid in 1SOs and the chapel was consecrated by the
Right Rev. Benjamin Moor, Bishop OF New YORK
1907. Services have been held continuously
there since. in spite of the great chanse
which has over the neighborhood IN recent
years. Originally the chapel was surrounded by
fashionable residences but now its neighoors are
freight depots warehouses and business blocks
When built the chapel faced on Hudson Square
which was also known St. Johns PARK Ahis
park was open only TO the householders OF the
neighborhood as is the case to-day with GranleFcS
Park.
The chapel has architectural beauty, ana with us
three massive columns in front has been a land
mark for upward of century. On each side or the
chapel is a rectory and for many years the rector
of Trinity Parish made his home in one or the
other of these houses In late years the curate OF
the chapel has occupied one Of these houses, while
the other has been, in turn, day school LOT the
children OF the locality and the home OF Trinity
Hospital. There have been only a handful OF wor-
shippers at St Johns the last dozen years. and
the proximity of St Luke's has made 1t seem pest

to close the old Of worship. Under the vicar
