new RAILWAY BUILT FOR
MILLS ON SALT AND GOLD
prosrectors Excited by Wealth Found
Along Western Pacific.

AT many points on the line of the
new Western Pacific railroad from
Salt Lake City to San Francisco there
was not room CROUCH in the canyon
Tor both river and railroad, and solid
walls OF masonry had to be built to
carry the tracks above the stream.
at other points the sharp curves in
the canyon have sent the tracks back
and forth from one side to the other
on steel bridges and high trestles. In
building the line material and work
men frequently had to be let down the
sides OF the canyon by ropes hundreds
OF feet in length to start construction
on new sections.
wagon roads are everywhere impos-
s1ble. AT last after endless turnings
and twists in fighting its way through
15O miles Of the canyon the tracks
come out into the broad valley at Oro-
vile, over which for countless ages
the Feather river has poured debris
from its mountain businesses.
So much gold did the river bring
down that the soil down to the solid
bedrock is being dug up by dredges
and washed for it's gold. Large tracts
Of land given over to olives, oranges
and other fruits are now being torn
to pieces III the ceaseless hunt for gold,
which is being found in such quaint.
ties that the miners are beginning to
rival in their wealth the pioneers in
the gold fields of the state.
In contrast to this long stretch OF
canyon scenery is the great salt desert
through which the new road runs after
leaving Salt Lake City. This desert Is
sixty miles Ions and fifteen miles wide
composed Of rock salt 81 per cent pure
Right through the center Of it the
engineers Of the road ran their lines
and for forty-six miles there is not
curve in the tracks. The ties are
laid on a bed or solid salt two or three
feet above the level of the plain. Tht
salt looks like field of ice and snow
and 1t is difficult for the traveller tt
realize that his train is not passin,
through a wintry scene Of the fa
north.

IN the REALM
OF FASHION
Rich Jewel Effects.

1t is doubtful If there has ever been
season in which such attention has
been given to harmony Of effects. Usu-
ally precious stones have appeared in
gold settings regardless of what ef-
feet they would create with the fash
ionable gowns, but this season sill
yer jewelry has been designed to har-
monize with the dull and artistic tones
of the modish costume, which is usual
ly trimmed with dark metallic lace.
Ancient and odd designs copied from
original Bohemian ornaments and also
from the barbaric Russian models are
important features Of a costume this
winter and give the dash Of originality
that makes a gown so fascinating.
Stones that are not counted among
the expensive jewels often have q
brilliancy Of color that makes them
extremely effective as decorative

SEAT OF ANTOINIST CULT IN BELGIUM.
The seat of the religion is at Temeppe-
lez-Liege, and the temple is hidden in
an obscure block of houses, the only
differences being that Antoine's COM
bination church and residence has a
spire.
Antoine has made his reputation as
a healer, and his methods are as Pc
culiar as the life he leads. In ap.
pearance he looks the part, having
long, flowing white hair and beard.
He has not left his home for three
years and spends most of his time in
his garden, which Is hung with elec-
trio lights. The healer has not spoken
a word to any one for six months.
The public services, held four times
a week, consist Of little more than
silence. The congregation sits in
quiet for an hour, and then the healer
appears in black robe, lifts one hand
toward the congregation and walks
out. The chief adept then says,
Every one whose faith is strong
enough must be cured" and the serv.
Ice is at an end.
No collections are made, but subscrip.
tions are taken. Antoine himself built
the church with a legacy of $4,000.

REFRIGERATOR CARS.
Evolution Of the Idea Of IAN icebox on
Wheels"

Vv0SSuSs
The refrigerator car was never in
vented. but just fixed up" 1t was
the idea Of a New England railway
man who needed some such thing as
far back as 1851.
In June of that year the first refriG-
orator car is said to have made its
trip from Ogdensburg. N. Y. to Bos-
ton. The car owed it's origin princi-
pally to the fact that the farmers near
Ogdensburg, who made a great deal
Of butter, were unable to ship it ex-
cept in cold weather.
A railroad man named Wilder. at
that time in charge Of the through
freight, thought it would be a good
idea to rig up ian icebox on wheels" !"
and he told this to the president of the
road. who gave orders that the mas
ter mechanic should plan several of
them.
At this time farmers were receiving
only IL cents a pound for their butter.
The iced car was loaded with eight
tons Of it, sent through and allowed
to stand in Boston till the product was
sold. 1t brought II cents a pound
after paying all expenses and COM
missions, and the plan was voted a
success. In short time the road had
regular service on, using number
Of cars, and the idea spread rapidly.
Wilder did not patent his idea. but
| allowed it to be used by whoever SO
desired.-St. Louis Republic.

SPRING STYLES IN
SEPARATE SKIRTS,
New Models Fit Tightly Over
HipS and Flare at Bottom

While the new models in separate
skirts are not actually wide, they are
much fuller than the skirts that have
been worn during the past season.
The fit is still smooth at the top, but
there is a decided fare about the feet
which the majority of women will fully
appreciate, for few wear the extremely
narrow skirts gracefully.
Plated separate skirts are not no.
ticeable among the new spring models.
The two main features are a smooth
straight up and down effect and a de-
cided flare about the feet either by
means of cut or the addition Of a
flounce. The latter may be circular,
gathered or plated. depending entire
ly upon the kind Of material to be de-
veloped. Black only Is seen In the
more expensive materials. These are
broadcloth and the finer serges. In the
cheaper grades the skirts come in gray.
brown and navy blue as we'll as black.
In the separate skirts of tweed mix
lures Of tan and brown prevail.
Among the newest styles one that
will be exceedingly popular because Of
its good lines Is cut on the circular or.
der, but with seams instead Of the bias
over the hips.
This makes the model practical for
all around wear, because there can be
no sagging. The average circular skirt
of walking length Invariably sags, but
the seams over the hips in this new
model prevent dropping. The back is
in habit style, with welt seam. The
seams over the hips are welt also.
The closing is little to the left side
front and is made by row of buttons
passed under cords.
The pattern for this skirt is in three
pieces only and is design that might
easily be copied at home from short
length Of material.

Miss Josefa Schneider, a Turkish
subject, resident in Constantinople
has brought suit for damages against
the state which throws vivid light
on conditions in Turkey under Abdul
Hamid II. According to the Paris
Eclair, one of Abduls daughters fell
seriously i'll in the days when he was
still padishah, and the court physi

appendicitis.
Abdul refused to give his consent
until the operation had been performed
on some one else to prove that it was
not dangerous to life. Miss Schneider
who had recently spent some time in
a Constantinople hospital, was handy,
so she was forcibly taken from her
house and deprived of her appendix.
Abdul Hamid was convinced, his
daughter was cured, and now Miss
