BIG RAILROAD
MEN IN CITY
Leading Western Pacific Officials
Arrive After a Strenuous
Trip From the West.
INTO CITY BY AUTOMOBILE.
Tracks Along Route Washed ont and
Submergcd--Pians Made for
Restoring Line.

A party OF Western Pacific officials
suddenly appeared this noon from the
region OF the setting sun. They were
c. NJ. Levy. vice president and
general manager; Vice President c. II.
Schlacks. Chief Engineer Wyche. and
Superintendent Ogilvie. The party
came in an automoblle-not from san
Francisco. but from Grants station
to Salt Lake along the line Of the
Western Pacific. They Travelled over
the Southern Pacific in their private
car "Wasatch" TO Elko, where the car
was set or and a Western Pacific To-
connective pulled the car to Grants sta
ton, 20 miles west OF Salt Lake. The
distinguished pilgrims passed the night
az that point. arising bright and early
this morning, so as to get through
breakfast and leave by auto for salt
Lake at am. the automobile having
been sent out Wednesday afternoon.
TRACK SUBMERGED.
The line Of the railroad was followed
INTO town as far as was practicable.
The sights along the road were not
calculated TO stimulate the official
heart with joy. for OF the eight miles
through the lake. a large percentage
OF the track was barely visible The
chief engineer suggested that they get
a boat and sounding line, so as to
make some show OF locating such parts
of the track as had become a purely
submarine affair. The remarkable rise
in the lake. eight feet In hve years, eX-
cited much establishment.
The party had to detour around the
southwest curve OF the lake. where IL
seemed as though the road would have
20 he relocated. to avoid further sub
mergence A straight shoot was made
for salt Lake in the automobile Gem
eral Freight and Passenger Agent Der
rah met the party at the Rio Grande
depot.
FREIGHT DISCUSSION.
The party visited the offices OF Cen
eral Manager Bancroft of the Short
Line. who extended the glad hand, and
was afterward closeted with General
Superintendent Daily with whom ways
and means of forwarding the go cars
Of freight stacked up i'm the Rio
Grande yards were discussed.
The visitors left at 2.S5 this after
noon, over the Southern Pacific to Elko
where they reoccupied their private car
which had been hauled hack from
Grants station.
The Western Pacific is also washed
out In spots for 40 miles between Bia-
wawee station and ElkO. so that Il can
be operated only as far east as Carlin
at present. However. while here the
officials originated active plans for
vigorous action in restoring the line
west of EllSo. and OF rebuilding the Salt
Lake approach, though whether ar
engagements for a joint trackage with
the salt Lake route and the building OF
"a linz q ls., D.
of the lake will be adopted w.ll not be
known until after consultation with the
New York offices. This idea, however,
appears to be the more probable.

POLAR REFLECTIONS

How awful 'twould be to live at the pole,
With no back yard but an icy shoal
And no front lawn but big. deep hole
At the pole!
Nowhere to get your breakfast roll,
Nowhere to buy a load of coal.
Nowhere to go for a pleasant stroll
At the pole!
Nowhere to sit on grassy knoll
Or the messy side of fallen bole.
And idly loaf and invite your soul
AT the pole!
Doesn't it seem little droll?
There's nothing to do but to enroll
Your name upon Fame's glittering scroll
At the pole!

standing round doors, others in front of the blacksmith shop, but all in sight of the front door of the bank. It looked ominous. When the scare began, two days before, there had been twenty-five thousand dollars in the vaults. This was more than the legal requirements, for the deposits were un- der hundred thousand. Five thou sand of the available funds went out that first afternoon, ten thousand the next day; and now. if something did not happen to check the run, it would all be over before noon-the door would be closed.
 Simmons had telegraphed for the ten thousand they had on deposit in St. Louis, but it could not arrive before the next morning-and that would be too late. Even if they had it, it would merely give them a few more hours of life, unless something checked the unreasoning panic among the depos- itors.
 As the clock licked off the last five minutes. Simmons stood with his back to the cashier. looking out of the side window toward the new house.
 It was nine o'clock. The cashier opened the front door. One, two, three minutes passed, then customer came in with show of leisureliness and withdrew his deposits. As he went out another came in.

 The money went faster the next hour At eleven o'clock only four thousand dollars remained. When that went the doors must close. Only four thousand dollars between Henry Sim mons and bankruptcy, and it was trickling from under his fingers like sand in an hour-glass. Another hour at most and his capital, ais four years work. and the house, would go.
 His face grew a little grayer. the lines deepend, but his teeth shut
