EI5H COST OF
LIVING AND POLITICS

Republican managers realize that
the great menace to the success of
their party this fall is in the in
c:ea. ed cost of living, which cannot
be explained by the theory of a
general advance along the line and
IN every part of the world. They
know that general advance cannot
explain hogs at cents pound
when bacon costs 35 cents, ham 80
cents and lard 20 cents. Nor does
a general advance all over the
world tell why coffee costing 10
cents and IL cents laid down on
the decks at New York costs the
consumer S5 to so cents. Other
articles might be enumerated, ex-
tending the list to nearly every
necessity of life. Every woman in
the land is complaining and it
means a dissatisfied husband who is
quite likely to express his dissatis-
faction at the polls.
The people want more; they
want action which will mean relief
from what they feel is outrage Gus

KEEPING It DRY

An old woman Of wealthy New
Jersey family was going visiting.
The coachman, who had not been
in this country long, had just been
equipped with new uniform and
new silk hat. Before they had
gone far II began to sprinkle, and
the old woman told the coachman
to tasten down the side curtains of
tn wagonette.
He drove up to a hitching post
beside the road and, dismounting,
hung his new hat on the post, and
began to fasten the curtains.
"Oi took it off me head, mum,

JhRBIDGE DISTRICT
IS MAKING GOOD

Spectacular in the extreme is
the action of claim owners in the
Crater section of the Jalhri(ee
district of Nevada, if rumor is to
be credited. in keeping all persons
from within seeing distance of
what is going on. Some remarkable
gold values are reported to be
found at Crater, but armed guards
patrol the section to prevent tres
passing, so nothing definite is
known even at Jarbridge of what
is being found and done. In the
Jarbidge section itself is plenty of
acti:ity and disposition of operators
to talk of their successes. Arrivals
from the camp report very higlk
values, while there are numerous
spots where res ults of importance
are being gained. II is said that
mary good deals are in progress.
Representative Of capital are thick
in the district, going over anything
and everything that looks good and

THE WESTERN PACIFIC

We suspect that the majority of
the people of Salt Lake and Utah
Will never half appreciate how
] tremendous a work the building
OF the Western Pacific railroad wa.
until they go over the route. The
work was very heavy in many
places through Ne. ada, for the
instructions from the fir,t were.
Just so far as possible to eliminate
curves and grades. This made
exceedingly heavy work at
hundred points in western Utah
and all through Nevada. Beck
worth'S pass was overcome by a
short tunnel; then for little more
than twenty miles through Sierra
Valley there were no difficulties;
then came the Mohawk valley and
between that and American valley
there were alternate cuts and fills
and short tunnels.
Reaching American valley the
raod enters the canyon of the north
fork of the Feather river. Then
it was fight mighty obstacles to
build the road. for sixty-.fve niles
until the canyon opens into the
Sacramento valley. For miles and
miles the banks of the river are
but solid, almost perpendicular
walls of rocks, often hundreds Of
feet in height. We have never
seen any statement of the work,
but we know something of the
route, and it must have been solid
blasting in the mountain side, or
tunnelling for quite forty miles,
and in that distance there must be
from ten to twenty bridges over
the river. 1t is the route over
which Judah wanted the old
Central Pacific to come, for it
eliminates 1850 feet in ascending
from the valley to the summit;
1850 feet saved oyer other routes
that can be found across the Sierra.
Another great work was making a
road through the coast range
mountains, to get from the San
Joaquin valley to the shore of San
Francisco bay. But it was done,
and now there is a new trans
continental road and it passes
directly through Salt Lake City.
What it is to re to this region can
not yet be comprchended. But it
gives Utah another smooth path to
the Pacific and passes through some
hundreds of miles Of country that
has not yet been much explored.
If next summer any people desire
to pass the hot months in cool
valley. a valley more beautiful than
they ever saw, let them go to
Quincy in American valley.
Switzerland has nothing like it..
But the road means that another
river of steel has been made to the
sea shore; river over which the
argosics of commerce are to float
forever. and it is a work so superb
and gigantic that the first incoming
passenger train ought tolc cclc.
