NEWS OF The WEEK

f~orty-six state capitals. c. c. Beck,
]. r. Ransom, r. G. Payne and
George W. Beck, cowpunchers from
the Pacific northwest. arrived in Salt
Lake Sunday and had their pictures
taken before the new capitol Tues
day. and will have David Mattson,
secretary of state, sign their Official
roll and affix the great seal OF the
state of Utah to it. The four men are
making a 30. 000-mile trip on horse
back TO win 100000. which has been
raised by the stockmen of the north
west and TO demonstrate the hard-
ness of the horses of that part OF the
country. They left Olympia, Wash,
on MAY 1, 1912, and TO win the money
will have to reach San Francisco by
June L. They have yet to visit the
capitals of California and Nevada.
When they started from Washing
ton they had five horses and only one
of the original five remains. Pinto,
the horse which now must be de-
pended on to win the money, is a
Morgan-Arabian horse, weighing 912
pounds and having the bones of al
! 200-pound horse. One of the con-
ditions of the wager is hat the party
must finish with one of the horses
with which they left Washington.
During the 10, 300-mile trip they
have lost nine horses.
With the party is Nip a dog.
The dog has walked the entire dis
lance, and while the horses have
averaged twenty-five miles a day for
six days a week, c. c. Beck asserts
that the dog has averaged at least
one-half again as much mileage.
The four men in the party have
been on the range in Montana, Wash
.ington, and Idaho for many years and
undertook the trip at the request of
the Northwestern Live Stock ~associa-
ton. They will remain in Salt Lake
for two or three days and then go to
Reno and on to Sacramento and aie
confident of finishing in San Fran
cisco by June |.

material for cars and locomotives
which it will build in its own shops.
The equipment to be bought and
that to be built by the company will
replace other equipment. None of 1t
will be addition to the present equip
ment. The invitation of bids will
mark practically the first equipment
buying of any magnitude by this con-
pany for more than a year.
The only equipment orders placed
with outside companies in 1914 were
for so locomotives with the Baldwin
Locomotive Works and for 1,00n
freight cars with the Cambria Steel
company.
1.-The company plans to build Iii
new locomotives in its Juniata shops
at Altoona. Pa, and bids will be re-
quested for materials for these loco
motives. Seventy-six of the new loco
motives will be of the new standard

The freight car program calls for
the following: 1000 steel box cars. p

all steel passenger cars, not counting
the all steel Pullman ears in service on
