the bringing in of several new pro-
ducers and the promise Of several more
in the near future. Among the notable
ones is the old Lolita mine, the prop
erty of the Del Monte Mining and
Smelling company.
This company has just made another
carload shipment from Luning to the
smelter which runs on average better
than 5000 per ton smelter returns. Inc

WESTERN PACIFIC
HAVING TROUBLE

WINNEMUCCA, Dec. 1.-THE off
Gals of the Western Pacific railroad
have struck a problem in the roadbed
construction of their line on the salt
fields, near the Utah Nevada line, which
bids fair to outrival the problems that
the Southern Pacific encountered or its
cutoff across the Great Salt Lake, says
the Ogden Standard.
The problem that the Western Pa
ciic officials are now trying to solve
is whether they will have to dig
through the heavy salt deposit to frd
a solid foundation, upon which they
can fill in gravel and strengthen the
roadbed or whether they will find the
bottomless pit Of Lake Bonneville. The
roadbed of this line, for sever niles
near the state line, is built upon old
beds of salt deposited by the prehis-
toric lake. The deposits Of salt were
found to be of such a depth, at the
time of the building of the road, that
the engineers considered them strong
enough to support the embankment
and track. Since the line has been
completed and trains operated over il,
the heavy rains have worked into the
salt and dissolved the foundation on
which the tracks rest, making travel
by rail impossible.
Trains over the line are running on
a slow schedule and no effort is being
made to run on time. Last Thursday
a freight train on the line was held at
the station of Wendover until Satur-
day before it could come through 10
Salt Lake City. F. E. Schlaegter, the
local sheepman, who had taken several
cars of sheep to winter range west ~
the lake, was delayed at Wendover
two days waiting for the rebuilding OF
the seven miles of salt road.

THE TOUGH KID.

Washington go dry and when Walla
Walla refused to do so the Chronicle
published the following under the cap
ton "Walla Walla's Mistake"
THE victory of the saloons in the
local option election at Walla Walla
Monday is especially to be regretted,
owing to the fact that Whitman coli
lege. one of the principal educational
institutions of the state, is located in
that city, and its pupils will be ex-
posed to the temptations of the sa-
looms for the next two years. The ma
jority by which the "wets" won, over

a strong grip on that city and that the

GROWTH OF WOMEN.

Marvellous has been the develop
ment of women and remarkable their
success in the new sphere in VIII ch
they now move. They have invaded
many fields formerly held exclusively
by the men and they have made
good, says an exchange Poor man
demonstrated at rst but finally sub
miJt'd with commendable gracious
ness. Having bowed to the newt
able, he Is in all the better frame of
mind to accept the prophecy of a
group of London physicists that the
woman of the future will also n point
of size not only gain an equal stature
but will overshadow and dwarf him
So fast is woman growing, these ex-
perts declare, that in 100 years she
will be taller than man by half a
head il not more. The conclusion is
reached scientifically; no guess work
1t is shown that in 1875, the average
girl of 1S stood only FIVE feet, three
inches in her stockings. Today the
same time the average height of man
has decreased about three-fourths OF
an inch. The experts do not attempt
to explain; but they suggest that the
devotion of women to outdoor sport:
while men are bending over desks in
stuffy offices, has something to dc
with it.-Eugene Register.

A YULETTDE GREETING.

Christmas eve is always joyous
time throughout the Chrstianized
world. 1t is not so much religious
holiday as It is an occasion on which
people lay aside the ordinary cares Of
the world and take delight in render
ing deeds of kindness for those they
love and honor. Gift giving is the
great feature of Christmas. 1t is
beautiful custom too. for it involves
consideration of the pleasure of others.
The spirit Of selfishness so prominent
throughout the rest of the year is put
aside and for time at least. Love sits
crowned within the hearts of all.
Then Christmas is day of general
good will It is a day on which the
world forgets its troubles, its work
and its fighting and thinks of brighter
and more cheering things. In this
day and age Christmas is very valu-
able holiday for people follow pace
that is fast and wearing. With mos'
people life. is a serious race. The
goal lies at the base of the fleeting
aurora Of success. Like fairy prin-
cess IL beckons alluringly to those who
seek the shrine and spurs them on to
greater and greater , efforts Some
times it seems near yet it is ever far
away.
Such occasions as Christmas furnish
breathing times for those who fol-
low the mad chase after honor, fame
and wealth. Were it not for such holi-
days the world would grow tired OF
its quest and life would be never
ending grind.
Merry Christmas is the song OF
this hour and It is a wholehearted
cheerful greeting. 1t is a chime that
IS heard in the dwellings of the poor
as well as in the homes Of those who
are more blessed with worldly riches
Those who enjoy Christmas most are
neither the rich nor the poor, the In
firm or the we'll the young or the old
but those whose hearts are so tuned
that they respond most fully to the
golden chord Of kindness.
Newspapers, like individuals, have
friends whom they wish to greet al
Christmas time Among the people
