A GENEROUS GIFT TO
ST. MARY'S HOSPITAL

Those who have visited st. Mary's
hospital these last two days are full
OF admiration at the sight of the
beautiful rubber-plants placed in the
hall of the first floor. These are the
generous gift of Mr.. Craven of The
Fair Store. given in honor of his
charming little boy. The plants are
five years old and about four and a
half feet in height. They are very
rare in this part of the country and
many have never laid eyes before on
such plants as these, because they are
only found in tropical countries.
The Sisters are full of praise for
the kind donor. who has always
shown much interest in this institu-
ton. They thank him for this most
generous gift and for his many cour-
tesies in the past.

ing with eastern bankers for the

and, under working agreement with
the asphaltum and gilsonite inter-
ests, tap the rich Uintah reservation
and project the line on to Salt Lake
City.
1t is stated that the new route
into the Mormon capital can be com
pleted five years before the Moffat
road and that feeder lines into Routt
and Rio Blanco counties wilk secure
the traffic that might ordinarily be
expected to go to the Denver & Salt
Lake road.
The Phelps Dodge people secured
control of the Rock Island quietly,
and it was not until the first of last
week that their operations were I'M
derstood and the purchase Of the
road realized. Rock Island stock
has not been profitable for some
time. and neither has the Midland,
but those who should know declare
that by combining the two roads and
securing the help of the Uintah peo-
pie all the old traffic for the two
roads can be regained. 1t is said to
be not only good investment per Sc
for the Phelps-Dodge interests, but
that it Is part of the newest inya-
sion of the railway field by new
coterie of capitalists.
