eastern end the construction gangs are
laying the track AT the rate of a mile

being made on the California end.
There exists little doubt but that
through trains will he running between
San l'rascisco and this city on the

Salt Lake City westward about $40
miles of rails have been laid. On the
western end, the track is built from
Oroville more than thirty miles east

OF course after the completion of the
road there are many details that must
be attended to before it can be opened
FOR traffic In speaking Of this matter
Mr. Derrah called attention 60 the
preparation of the tariffs, which is of
great Importance, and which is gl-
gantic undertaking. However, the day
on which it Will be formally opened
the day on which the continent will be
bouud with Gonld steel-wll likely be
very near September /.
The Western Pacific will be one Of
the finest pieces OF railroad in the whole
world. Its roadbed is the finest in the
country, and it will open up a wonder
ful territory The largest Salt beds III
the world will be opened up by the new
road The Western Pacific has already
given n remarkable impetus to various
lines OF business along its rails, as IS
demonstrated by the determination of
the Independent Salt company to begin
operations as soon rs the road IS corr
plcted. The operations of this COM
pany which was organized about year
ago have been delayed on account OF
tie Inaccessibility of the locality where
the new company proposes to erect its

CRISIS REACHED IN
GEORGIA SITUATION
Mob Attacks Freight Train,
Stones Crew and Again
Blocks Traffic.

ATLANTA, Ca. May 2S.-The first
violence TO railroad property in the
Georgia railroad iiremen's s strike oc-
Cured tonight. A moving freight
train at Lithonia Ga, was attacked.
In consequence the race issue loomed
up more sharply than before.
a negro fireman was apparently the
cause of the trouble and he was rushed
from Il mob, The train was stoned
and then boarded by men, who set the
brakes and broke ii into three sections.
The train in that condition blocked
the main line and the progress of the
mails. The rnilroad officials declared
tonight that the incident was the work
of strike sympathizers.
The engine left for Lthonia TO bring
trainlond of pcrishable provisions
given that in the interest of local ship
pers, whose valuable cargoes were tied
up, no demonstration would be made
against hauling these cars to Atlanta,
When, however, the engine reached
Lithonia, its negro fireman was seen.
About 200 people gathered ut the sta
ton and, Just as the train was getting
under way. stone hit Engineer Down.
ing. According to the railroad IS state
ment, no attempt was made by local
authorities to interfere, even when the
train was broken up, Local officers
telephoned TO the state authorities that
the train was stalled, but there had
been no violence.
Speedy state or federal intervention
is expected, as the situation is believed
TO be fraught with danger. 1T is ad-
mitted that either federal or state au
thorities can run the trains and pre-
serve order, but if the railroad insists
on its rights to hire negro 6remen it
is feared that racial enmity and re-
prisals on negroes will be stirred up
Chairman Knapp of the Interstate
Commerce commission will be here to-
morrow.
The race issue has developed in what
constitutes its two strongest holds on
the southern people. The first was the
unanimity shown by an entire commu
nifty in resenting the using of negroes
in capacity to which they objected
The other sentiment was the determi-
nation of employers to stand Loyalty
by negroes who have rendered them a
long and faithful service.
Tonight there was talk Of holding
mass meetings at several places to
voice Indignation at the action of the
railroad today in putting negroes on
what the public calls ''neutral trains.

JURY FAILED TO AGREE
IN THE OTTO SEYDLITZ
CASE AND WAS DISCHARGED

From Tuesdays Daily.
The special jury in the district
court was called yesterday morning
to try Otto Seydlitz. charged with as
sault upon DR.. A. Bourquin of Denver,
with intent to murder. failed to agree
and was discharged by Judge Champ
ion at 10 o'clock this morning after
having been out all night. Trial Of
the case was begun at l o'clock yes
terday afternoon and 1t was given to
the jury at 9 O'Clock last night with
the expectation that a verdict would
be reached within short time. Judge
Champion was informed by the sher
in at midnight that there appeared
to be no likelihood that the jury would
reach an agreement and its members
were permitted to go to bed.
The trouble between DR.. Bourquin
and the defendant took place at the
formers cattle ranch on Webster
Park on the fifth OF last April and
grew out of an alteration in rela-
ton to a COW; seydlitz being en-
ployed on the ranch In the capacity
of cowboy at the time. The plain
tin testified that Seydlitz struck him
several times. knocking him down and
otherwise maltreating him. 1t Is not
known whether the case will be re-
heard or not as the matter has not
yet been determined. In the event
that a retrial is decided upon it is
probable that It will not take place
for several months and Seydlitz will
be admitted to bail in the meantime.
The defense OF the prisoner is con-

DON'T R1D1CULR YOUR BOZ.

Many a boy has gone to bed in tears
because his father criticised or de-
nounced his efforts at playing the vio-
lin; made fun of simple little COM
position or story which he wrote: dis
curaged his attempt to make some lit
tie mechanical device, or threw q wet
blanket ON his dreams. laughing at his
prediction of what he would do in the
future.
A man who has Recently come into
great prominence in his profession
says that when. tremblingly. he told
his father what he wanted to be, he
was told that a padded cell was the
only place for q boy with such crazy
ideas. and that he was forced for
years to do that which God had for
hidden in every nbre of his being. and
against which every drop Of blood in
him protested.
The father who has made mp his
mind that his son must continue his
business and keep his est&te intact,

Their own families did not take stock

You cannot read the sealed mes
sage which God has wrapped up in
your boy or girl, and you should re-
gard 1t as sacred. You should re-
spect the dreams OF future greatness
of your son. beacuse the Creator may
have intended him for a grand and
far-reaching mission. You cannot tell
what is going on in his mind: you
cannot tell what possibilities are lock-
ed in his brain. He may be perfectly
conscious at this. moment that he was
intended for a much higher place in
the world than you are occupying
yourself. and to denounce him, to
scoff at his dreams. to laugh at his
predictions for the future may be a
source Of great humiliation to you
some day. 1t may also work incalcu-
able injury to your boy. A thousand
times better strike him with your
hand than blast his hopes by ridicule
or by cruel. chilling. cutting word.

TRANsPLANTING PLANTS.

Our spring has been cold and back
ward. consequently many people are
uneasy about their tomato plants and
other things OF tender nature. But
after all. people In the northern dis
trict may well adopt this as q general
rule. that all tender garden and flow
ering plants should not be planted In
the garden before the first Of June.
In the warmer districts the date for
planting is somewhat earlier. but
once having this date determined It
will not be found to vary much from
year TO year. II planted much before
this time the ground will be found
to be cold and the nights are invari
ably cool. SO the plants make no ad
vance. In fact. plants which are
planted at a later and more favora-
BILE time usually are much more sat
isfactory in all respects. The neces-
sity for coddling and the consequent
securing OF the neighborhood for tin
cans is thus avoided.
