Will Be Reached as to the improvements o be Made

The expenditure OF several hundred
thousands OF dollars for the improy-
Ing and strengthening OF the Ogden
Lucin cutoff Of the Southern Pacific
company Is the purpose OF an tnspec-
tion trim across Great Salt Lake and
a conference at Lakeside today be-
tween Chief Engineer William Hood
of the Southern Pacific company, with
headquarters at San Francisco. VII
liam Fl. Bancroft, ylce-president and
general manager of the Oregon Short
Line railroad company, which operates
the Salt Lake division OF the Southern
Pacific. and F. c. Manson, superin,
tendcnt of the Salt Lake division The
two last named officials left Ogden
this morning on special train and
met Mr.. Hood, who arrived from the
west, at Lakeside.
The party will spend most of the
day at the west side Of the cut-oft,
inspecting the work that Is being car
ried on at the present time in "fll-
Ing" raising and widening the road
bed. The greater part Of this work
is being done on the last five miles
OF the road on the west shore of the
lake.
Another problem that will be con.
sidered is that of raising the roadbcd
on the west side of the lake, and
which will extend for number or
miles on the approach to the lake,
and give a uniform grade This latter
work will also assist in the solving of
new tronble. which occurs each
spring. 1t Is the question OF high wa

pared data on tho cut-oif across the
lake for the late C. p Huntington, the
originator of the idea, and later exc

the lake has risen more each year in
stead OF receding, but the problem of
the cutoff has never been considered
so serious by the railroad officials but
what II could be overcome.
The problem of conQuering the lake
by the railroad company is being
watched with interest by the fore
most engineers of the country. who
have always held that the building OF
the line was the greatest piece Of engl-
neering ever undertaken. and set
precedent which has resulted in SINH
lar engineering feats, the latest being
the Florida East Coast Line, which is
the Joining by rail to the group Of
islands of the coast Of the United
States southernmost peninsular. In
this ease the engineers had the ocean
tide and heavy semI-troplcal wind
storms to contend with
At the conclusion of the inspection
and conference at Lakeside today the
officials will COME to Ogden where n
further conference probably will be
held this evening.

WASHINGTON.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion ordered the proposed increase in
the freight rates on lumber and forest
products generally, from the Pacific
northwest to points of Eastern desti-
nation. suspended until February 8,
1911. The proposed advances were to
become effective October 16. The com
mission will inquire into their reason
ableness. Several million dollars a
year in freight rates are involved in
the proceeding. The lumber manufac-
turers OF the Pacific northwest con-
tend they cannot pay the proposed ad-
vance and that 1t will mean ruin to
them IL it is put into effect. The case
is one of immense importance to the
north Pacific lumber manufacturers.
particularly to those in the William
cite valley district. The immediate
case is directed against the Southern
Pacific company, the Corralis & East
ern Railroad Company and the indie
pendence & Monmouth Railroad Com
pany. on behalf of which the tariffs
have been filed. All of the northwest
ern lines eventually will be drawn into
the case.

Gently through disappointment and
disillusion placed the blame upon the
wrong shoulders. 1t in no degree
rests upon either the business or pub
lie social side of American life. says
Washington Post The responsibility
for such an outcome must be borne by
those who are in duty bound to give
their children right views of life. The
sight of young girl. however preco-
cious. going to city like New York
without friends or advisers to whom
che would listen, and very evidently
head-strong and impulsive. there to
spend two years writing book and
precious manuscripts which she ro-
mantically wishes to be buried with
her, calls forth nothing but pity. But
this sentiment does not obscure the
fact that the girl was permitted to
gain false view of herself and her
relations with the world. Acts such
MS hers in no degree Justify the whole
sale condemnation of the business life
of our cities or warrant the sweeping
statement of young girl facing at
once both womanhood and eternity in
saying that "a girl cannot get along
honorably In New York"
