HISTORIC RHINE WILL Be TRAVERSED
BY SENTINEL GIRLS IN OLD EUROPE

No one feature of the great tour

in foreign lands, as the guests of
The Sentinel this summer, will prove
more enjoyable than the journey
down the Rhine from Cologne to
Biebrich, thence to Wiesbaden.
This journey will be made on Sat
urday. July 12.
The Rhine is one of the world s
most famous rivers. 1t has been the
object of enthusiastic admiration, the
fruitful theme of song, story and le-
gend. 1t is celebrated no less for its
romantic historical associations and
fascinating legendary lore than for
its beautiful scenery. 1t flows

sometimes past low hills;
at others, high and rugged noun

weird traditions or poetic legends.
Although the Rhine, from Bale to

Nearly $1,000, 900 will be expend-
ed by the Denver a Rio Grande in
the construction of the proposed
railway shops, roundhouse, coal
chutes and new trackage in Grand
Junction, says j. r. Nedwideck, SUI
perintendent of the Rio Grande
junction railway, who has just re-
turned from Denver.
Mr.. Nedwileck has seen the plans
of the new roundhouse, and they
show II To be alsrost n complete esr-
Gle, instead OF half-moon as at
present. There will be only one
track for engines to enter by and
the turn-table will be in the center,
with room for one engine between
the pit and the stall and one engine
in the stall. making, in all, room for
practically so engines. The round
house will be built where the sec
ton houses are now located, Just east
OF the present structure. The back
shops and blacksmith shops will be
built where the present roundhouse
stands, and the main shops probably
about 200 feet directly south of the
present shops.
The new coal chutes will be south
of the present ones and will cost
$4,000 They will be built first,
and with them will be new cinder
pits of the most modern type. The
ctal chutes will be all steel and con-
crete and will handle coal with the
power bucket belt system only.
Renew All Trackage.
Not only will all the buildings in
the yards be rebuilt, but the track
age will be renewed and changed.
One lead track, going straight to the
roundhouse, will join the main line
about 400 yards west of the Book
Cliff crossing, and will run to the
edge of the embankment already
built for it. There will also be a
new switching lead track joining the
main line a little nearer the city.
This track will run southeast, cross
ing the head of all yard trackage,
but independent of the roundhouse
lead. The trackage win all be new
90-pound steel, with new ties and
switches. The yards will also be re-
