MARVELLOUS FEATs
CONNECTED WITH
BUILDING THIS ROAD.

''Somc of the feats being accom-
plisled in connection with the en-
gineering work on the western Pa
ciflc railroad are little short of mar
velous," said It. j. ThompISins of Salt
Lake City. ."Yet in these days the
work passes as merely an ordinary
piece of railroad construction.
THE principal question being con-
in this coast extension is
that of economy in operation. Ex-
pense of operation must be cut
down, no matter what obstacles have
to be overcome. AS a result the
road will have a maximum grade of
l per cent in its entire distance from
Salt Lake City to San Francisco. 1t
will pierce the Sierra Nevada noun
tains at an elevation 1000 feet lower
than the Southern Pacific, by cutting
the grades into rocky canons and
going through passes heretofore con-
sidered impregnable. Where there
are no passes the engineers have not
hesitated to bore through rather
than increase the distance by going
over the mountains or making de-
tours
1t is announced that work on the
Western Pacific will be completed
within another year. The Western
terminal of the line at present is a
short distance from Bews, New, and
the grade for the line is almost en-
tirely completed. One of the prlnci-
pal engineering feats is the boring
of the Flower lake tunnel. on the
Salt Lake division. This tunnel is
$50 miles west of Salt Lake. 1t is
5,412 feet long and when it is fin
ished the construction of the line
from Salt Lake to Elko will be a
simple matter.
There are approximately so tun-
nels on this new line. all of uniform
construction, II feet in width be-
tween the vertical sides of the tun-
mel and % Y feet in height. The
construction of the Flower Lake
tunnel calls for the removal of L.
193,7S0.S cubic feet of rock. To
build the Spring Garden tunnel in
the Western slopes of the Sierras in
California, thers must be taken out
2,726,160 cubic feet of rock. An
other important tunnel on the new
line is the Chilkoot tunnel through
the famous Beckwith pass, which
will be 5000 feet long.
"The construction of this line, like
the Moffat road between Denver and
Salt Lake City. will do much to draw
the great country closer together
and make distances shorter by many
miles" said Mr.. Tompkins. ut
should result in vast benefit to the
entire country"

certain OF the members have denied
the right or privilege of the Ne
braskan to address them on that ac-
casion. Will the peerless leader sub
nit to such denial of the inalien-
able right of free speech? That is
the problem, and New York breath
lessly awaits the answer.
But Mr.. Bryan will have one con-
ISOLATION. He will know, If he at
tends the dinner and the conspiracy
of silence is carried out, that the
diners will listen with bored indif-
ference to the college president and
the United States senators who have
been invited to supply the feast of
reason and flow of soul. He will
know that they will long, even as a
bashful youth for the nectar on the
lips of his first love, for the silvery

will be called upon next week to de-
eide the little matter. On the face
of the returns, the monarch of yell
low journalism was declared defeat
ed and Mcclellan has since been
occupying the mayorahy chair. At
ter a long legal battle, Hearst has
gained the right to open the boxes,
in the disputed districts. A special
panel of 100 talesmen has been or
dered by the appellate division of the
supreme court, from which jury
will be selected on Monday to probe
the matter. The mayoralty contest
has been dragging in the courts of
justice for two years, and final de-
cision Is hardly to be expected much
before the expiration of McClellan's
term of office.

Fred Tracey Indicated.

The grand jury at Oklahoma City
last Saturday returned an indict-
ment against Fred c. Tracy, charg-
ing him with having burglarizing
the postoffice safe at Beaver, which
had been located in his store for the
past fourteen or fifteen years. The
safe was dynamited last November
and about S4oo stolen therefrom.
Mr.. Tracy having heard rumors
as to what was to be done, was
present at Oklahoma City and i'm
mediately presented himself to the
United States Marshal. His bond
was fixed at one thousand dollars,
(not ten thousand as has been cir
culated) which was Immediately
signed by voluntary sureties to the
amount of over two hundred thou
sand dollars.
The Hearld makes no comments
on this case at this time other than
to say that FRED TRACY is NOT
GUILTY and the Shiny manipula
tions of John w. Savage and others
of his kind will be fully shown in
due time, when we expect to show
up every one connected with the
.cowardly plot in their rottenncss
and treaChery.
Mr.. Tracy returned home We'd
nesday, but states tha: he has moth
ing 10 say for publication other
than as follows:
''The charge upon which l am
indicted, the men and motives be-
hind it, aud the methods used In
procuring it, are all matters that
will be slfted to the very bottom
through the courts. For that reas-
on l do not deem it proper to COM
ment on them at this time. Next
Monday when the court meets at
Enid l will request an immediate
trial where my accusers must meet
me face tc face in open court, and
when able TO meet them thus, 1 do
not fear the. result, . Beaver Her

GOING OVER Westerns BOOKS,
Reorganization of Insurance
Company Will Await Re.
suit of Examination.

J: A. McVoy, representing State
superintendent of Insurance Van
diver, is going over the books of
the Great Westerns Life Insurance
Company. 1t is supposed the ex-
animation will consume this entire
week. Until that is finished there
is to be no move to feorganize the
company.
"We really do not know what
there is to reorganize," said Receiv-
er c.. S. Jobes yesterday. "We
will not know until the state officials
reach their own conclusion. Mean
time 1 have been canvassing eligible
men to go on the board Of directors
to manage the reorganized COM
pany."
A report that the new directors
will be required tc put S2oo, 900 in
to the company is denied by the
receiver of the company. "We
shall not ask them to invest any
thing. What the court wants for
the creditors who applied for re-
ceiver is an efficient management.
We are trying to get that"

BOLD ROBBERY OF cuba BANK
Four Men Held Citizens
at Bay.
Escaped with Between
$4,000 and $4,000.

Cuba, Kan, June -Four men
robbed the State Bank of Cuba
here early today, and escaped with
between six and eight thousand
dollars after a fight with citizens.
No one was shot, however. Posses
are in pursuit. but the robbers have
a good lead and are believed to
have made good their escape.
John Tohler, cashier of the bank,
lives across the street from tn.
banking building. The explosion
that wrecked the safe awakened
him and he hurried from the house
ito give the alarm. The, robbers
fired in Tohler's direction, and a
command to keep still sent him
back into the house Other resi-
dents appeared on the scene. but
the robbers were not to be frighten-
ed and while some of the gang kept
guard at the front door of the bank
and warned the citizens to keep at a
distance, the other robbers finished
their job. After, the vault had been
ransacked the robbers went to the
Rock Island depot and intimidating
the agent by display of their re-
volvers, set the signal to stop the
first mail, which was about due.
They evidently intended to board
and escape on the train. It was
late, however, and tire,l of waiting,
the robbers boarded hand car and
disappeared in the direction of
Belleville.
The robbers all wore masks, SO
that while many persons saw them,
it will be difficult to identify them.

Wants to Sell Out Badly.
We clip the following from the
Hutchinson News want column:


FOR SALE-Annuity certificate, ten shares
in the Great Western Lite Insurance CO., Kansas
City, Mo. S. w. Nossaman, NJ. D., Cunning
ham, Kansas.
No doubt the doctor would gladly
sell out as the company is in the
hands of a receiver and the sale of
the above would be like trying to
peddle bank account on a. Kansas
bank after it had closed its doors.
You are up against it doetor unless
you can find as big sucker as you
were. There are several Meade
people whom we would like to see
get out of this concern what they
paid in but it looks as though they
will not at this time.
