DOUBLE TRACKS FOR THE
ENTIRE CUMBERLAND DIVISION

1t is reported that the Louisville &
Nashville railroad is considering esti-
mates. on the cost of double tracking
the entire Cumberland Valley Divis-
ion, due to the heavy coal traffic that
has grown up in the new Harlan coun-
ty field in the last year. The Harlan
mines although most of them are new
are averaging an output of 160 cars of
coal daily. This large amount is said
to be giving the operating department
of the l.. & N. much trouble to han
die. About six hundred cars daily
are going through to Corbin where
they are transferred for movement
either north or south. This great
growth in the coal traffic is not only
taxing the moive capacity of the
L. & NJ, but it is interfering with the
operation of passenger trains.
1t is likely the work of double track
ing the division will begin in the early
spring or summer Nearly all the in
crease in the coal traffic comes from
the new branch in the Harlan field,
although older mines have been main

THE DEVIL S SLIDES
Colorado and Montana Both Have
Natural Phenomena.
One Near Yellowstone Park Is a Great
Trough Pitching Down the Gin
nabar Mountain of the Gal
latin Range.

Denver, Colo.-There is a Devils
slide in both Montana and Colorado,
quite different in character, yet of
such tremendous proportions, so steep
and SO jagged as to suggest that only
the devil himself could accomplish
the slide down them and continue to
do business thereafter. The Devils
slide in Montana, shown in the illus
tration, is near the Yellowstone Ma
tional park, a great trough pitching
down Connabar mountain Of the Gal
latin range, formed by two huge paral
lei knife-blade ridges of white quartz
ite. The space between these two
almost vertical backbones is quite mar
row and constitutes vertical chute
ending In a small lake at the base of
the slide into which the devil was
supposed to plunge at the end of his
toboggan ride. The Colorado DEVILS
slide is an exceedingly steep slope on
the almost perpendicular sides of the
Gunnison canyon. The rock here is
entirely devoid of vegetation and the
slide" is quite unclimbable. Any per-
son, devil or otherwise, starting at the
top would certainly reach the bottom
and plunge into the foaming Gunnison
river in record time. The Devils slide
is not far from the great Gunnison irri-
cation tunnel which the Government
Reclamation service has bored through
a tremendous mountain wall to divert
the waters from the Gunnison river
out into the fertile lands of the Un-
comphagre valley. The Devils slide
of the Gunnisen is but one of the many
awesome sights which met the gaze
of the party Of government engineers
who made an exploration, on an in
fated raft, of the Black canyon of the
Gunnison few years ago before start

STORAGE PLANT is UNIQUE
Water From Lava Springs Used ::
Cool Fruit in Valley Of
Oregon.

Hood River, Ore.-A unique cold
storage building is now being COM
pleted in this valley. The structure
adjoins the lava beds near Wood
worth Park and has been built of this
stone entirely. The building is three
stories in height. The lower floor,
which has capacity of 10000 boxes
of fruit, is constructed on a founda-
tion Of the loose stone eighteen feet
in depth.
Water from the lava springs, flow
ing almost directly from the ends of
glaciers and but a few degrees above
the freezing point, will run along
these loose stones. The water Of the
cold springs is also allowed to pass
through numerous pipes attached to
the ceiling and along the walls of
the building. In the second and third

HUSBAND AND WIFE ARE
EXEMPT UP TO $4,000.

Further regulations for payment of
the income tax issued Tuesday at
Washington, provide that husband
and wife living together shall be en-
titled to an exemption of $4,000 from
the aggregate net income of both, but
when separated and living apart, per-
manently, each shall be entitled to a
$4,000 exemption.
Where husband and wife, living to-
gether, have separate estates, their
income may be made upon one re-
turn, but the amount of the income of
each with the full names and ad-
dresses must be shown.
The husband, the regulation says,
should make the return as the head
and legal representative of the house
hold. Where a wife has an estate
! managed by, herself, from which she
receives an income of more than
$4,000, she may make her own return,
and if the husband, in such cases,
has an income which brings the total
above $4,000, the wife's return should
be attached to that of her husband
| or vice versa.
Where either husband or wife has
an income of $500 or more return
is required under the law, no matter

 Batesville, Ark, July 13- News from Little Rock this af- ternoon states that the su- preme court has affirmed the decision in the case of St. Louis Iron Mountain Railway Go. vs. J. M. Brown, which case was ap- pealed from the circuit court in this county. J. M. Brown re- sides at Violet Hill, in Izard county. Some months ago he was working on a train for the railway company near Guion, unloading tiling from a car. In unloading this material he was using a cant hook, which prov ed to be defective and which caused him to fall backward and sustain injuries when the fn- strument gave way and pulled from a piece of piling. He has received judgment in the a. mount of $2,000. The railway company was represented by McCaleb and Reeder, while the plaintiff was represented by V. c. Richardson, Henry Bickers, Sam Moore and Joe Stayton.
