New Proposed Route Would Greatly
Benefit Eureka

Railroad men for many years have
figured on the use of this proposed
short cut across Nevada, and the West
ern Pacific had several surveys made Of
the route, starting from Salt Lake. but
the obtaining of a one per cent grade
through the mountain ranges east of
Eureka presented engineering Difficult.
ties that could not be overcome without
entailing too great an expenditure. and
the route along the Humboldt river.
parallelipg the Southern Pacific, was
finally adopted, though the latter route
is some 80 miles longer than the one
entering through Diamond valley.
1t is generally believed if the South
ern Pacific should decide on building
the proposed new line it will take over
the E. & P. road running from Eureka
to Palisade and broad gauge the same.
As will be seer by the article from the
Appeal. the proposed road will enter
Diamond valley, about four or five
miles north of Eureka, through the
DEVILS Gate Pass. On reaching that
point it would intersect the E. & P.
road, and this is given as a supposed
reason for the Southern Pacific buying
and broad gauging the little road to
connect with its main line at Palisade.
This would obviat, the necessity of
building about lis miles of new road
from Eureka to Elko.
What gives plausibility to the above
suppositions is the fact that about a
month ago w. E. Condor, a civil en-
gineer. visited Eureka and made an in.
spection of the E. & p. road at this end
Of the line. Subsequently he made a
further thorough inspection Of the road
covering the entire distance between
Palisade and Eureka on foot.
With the present known great tonnage
of ore blocked out in the mines of the
Richmond. Eureka Company on Ruby
Hill, approximating the shipping of 50C
tons a day for eight years. when the
E. & P. is only able to handle about 20C
tons a day. and the further fact that the
future outlook for Eureka district in q
mining way is exceedingly bright.
strengthens the supposition that the
Southern Pacific realizes the great
amount of business it's road would Sc.
cuse from this section. aud is probably
an additional incentive for the company
building this proposed cutoff through
Nevada.
By the completion of this road the
people of Eureka generally would b.
greatly benefited, rs at present they are
compelled to pay 81 cents a hundred for
all supplies shipped over the Eureka and
Palisade Railway from Palisade. q dis
tance Of "a miles. while if we were con-
nected by a spur of four or five miles
with the main line of the Southern
Pacific the rate would probably be but
a trifie more than is now paid that
company oil our freight to Palisade.

Beverly, Mass. Sept. s-Making his first formal appearance as commander in-chief of the American navy, Presi- dent Taft today, on board the cruiser yacht Mayflower toasted the German Emperor as a true sportsman and contributor to the peace of the world
 The occasion was the presentation of the Taft cup to Commodore Will liam H. Childs of the Bensonhurst, N. Y., Yacht Club, whose yacht Joyette won the first honor of the German American sonder klasse yacht races.
 It was during the luncheon in the cabin that the President proposed his toast to the German Emperor. The President said:l
 T rise to propose q toast to His Imperial Majesty. the Emperor of the Germans.
 q am sorry that the Emperor is not here to join us in this expression of good will. which am sure we could have. with reference to this sport and every other sport think 1t Is a good thing to have sport between na- tions-a great deal better than to have any other kind of Controversy"
 It was learned today that President Taft has sent for Attorney General wickersham to come to Beverly on Saturday to discuss several matters of importance.
 May Discuss Dispute. It is believed that one of these has to do with the dispute between the de- pertinent of the interior and the | forestry division of the department of agriculture regarding the carrying out | of the conservation and the public land laws. The attorney general has also been drawn into the Cunningham coal land case. The President is anxious that the controversy at Washington shall be amicably settled if possible. | MT. Taft Is gathering e vast amount of matter to form the basis of what he will have to say during the two 1 months of travel and speech making. He will declare that while the Payne bill was unsatisfactory in many ways, 1t was the best he could get out of Congress under all the circumstances If is furthef stated that the Presi- tthat beset -hinIsis feaffng with the tariff situation and that he put square. iy up Co the people the question oi whether or not they desire a still fur ther revision.
 The President will tell his hearers that the remedy for any short -comings lin the bill will be to elect people pledged to 6 revision along the lines desired.
 Reports regarding the presidents in- tentions say he will specifically take up several of the most important schedules dealt with in the fight for revision. The woolen goods schedule
 which was not touched in any way fin either branch of Congress. will come in for particular attention. Mir. Taft has told 6 number of his callers, both here and in Washington. that he was | not satisfied with the course Congress l adopted toward the woolen schedule and this will be one of the subjects On which he will indicate to the people that they can express their wishes dur ing the Congressional campaign of next | fall

 The greater part of the state is still cut off Geographically from the rest of Mexico. with anything like clear report of losses impossible. Reports are reaching points of communication, telling of whole towns having been swept by the raging waters. Refugees from remote sections are going Into Victoria. the capital and seeking relief. Destitution has spread over great areas of the state.

Retires from Supreme Court Bench. WILL PRACTICE LAW
 AT HOME AT LAFAYETTE Eminent Citizen Goes Into Private
 Life. High Court of Alabama 10 to Witness More Changes in its Personnel When 1t sits at Capitol.
 This Winter.

Lafayette. Sept. s.-(SpeciaL )---Ass sociate Justice N. D. Denson of the Alabama Supreme Court today sent his resignation as a member of the highest court of Alabama to Governor Conner.
 The resignation is to take effect at once. Judge Denson will resume the practice of law at his home here.
 Beyond announcing that he had writ ten Governor Conner his resignation. and that he would resume the prac- tice of law. Judge Denson had noth- ing to say of his resignation
 The resignation is certain to create stir in Alabama politics. The news of 1t will come as a distinct surprise to the whole State. While Judge Dem sons health has been somewhat af- fected during the past summer and spring. 1t is not thought that his i'll health, which was never of a serious nature, had anything to do with his retirement from the bench. It Ia rath- CT thought that Judge Denson pre- ferred the quieter and more entoyabIs life at home at his old practice rather than the strenuous life of a Supreme Court Judge. f
 Judge Denson has been i've years upon the Supreme Court. His first reputation as a judge was gained as judge of the Fifth Judicial Circuit. which office he filled for twelve yeras. He achieved an exceptional reputation for fairness. for learning and for abii- ity.
 In the primary for Justice of the Supreme Court he was nominated by 1 an exceptionally handsome plurality From the time he entered the primary. so strong was his popularity that 1t was conceded that he would win. His career upon the Supreme bench has but | wiSened the reputation he won as a Circuit Judge. Judgs Denson would have come up for renomination and recollection next year with Judges Sayre and Anderson.
 His resignation leaves a vacancy which Governor Conner can fill until the primaries act and the nominee of the primary is elected. Who the ap- plicants for the vacancy will be can not be told at this time.
 In the primary there is at present only one candidate in addition to the Justices now serving. He Is Hon. Or mond Somerville of Tuscaloosa.
 Governor Conner Is absent from ths State on a two weeks vacation in Can. ada. and nothing will be done about the appointment until he returns.
 Judge Denson is President of the State Baptist Association.
