velops Trio of Remarkable Animals
In the construction of a second
track through Weber Canyon few
miles east of Ogden, the Union Pacific
is expanding a large amount of money
and among its employees are numbered
three of the most intelligent horses
in the business, if the latest reports
from the seat of this activity are to
be credited. Approximately 100000
cubic yards of earth and 100, 900 cubic
yards of rock will have to be moved
to complete this work. Steam shovels
handle practically all of this Material.
A tunnel through over $50 feet of
solid rock on point near Gateway
Hill known as Sheep Rock is a part
of the great endeavor, end when the
new line is completed it will give the
Union Pacific sixty-foot grade per
mile as compared with the present
old-line grade of ninety-three feet,
nearly all of the undesirable curva-
ture of this present line being elm
mated.

renown in the gigantic work at hand

Seeking a Suitable Fuel Oil For Submarines

VA - ANY experiments are now
 AH being conducted by engi-
 " neers and chemists who are
 seeking to find some fuel oil for submarines which will enable the undersea boats to run under the water without the use of storage bat teries.
 It is not possible to burn gasoline or any other fuel oil while the boats are submerged, as each explosion in the en- zine takes g certain amount of oxygen out of the atmosphere and makes it impossible for the members of the crew to live; hence the necessity of having the storage batteries,
 If some chemist could devise an oil which would not take the oxygen out of the air when it explodes in the en- zine the cruising radius of the subma- rines would be very much greater and likewise a greater speed could be at tained.
 Living conditions in the submarines are not good, as every one knows, but these are being constantly improved, and more and more comforts are being provided for the men who risk their lives every time one of the boats takes a dive.
 Because of living conditions on bat tleships and submarines which ap- parently cannot be corrected without reducing the fighting efficiency of the vessels tuberculosis and pneumonia took heavy toll of enlisted men last year. Surgeon General w. J. Braisted of the navy said in his annual report.
 Despite the military activities of both sailors and marines at Vera Cruz, they found the dangers of warfare less than living conditions on battleships. There were thirty eight deaths due to tuber- culosis and thirty three to pneumonia. Three of the fatalities were among off, cers. Gunshot wounds killed thirty.
 Braisted held responsibility for this situation to the fact that "in the crowded condition necessary to man. ming and equipping vessels of war hy- gienic primal principles such as are ac- cepted as indispensable in life ashore practically never receive recognition.
 "Overcrowding, extreme reduction of the amount of air space per person. inn proper proportion of moisture and the inappropriate placing of air inlets and exits, over or under heating of the air these are all faults and problems in- cident to the packing of 1000 men in quarters which theoretically should hold but 800"
 While he praised naval constructors for doing as we'll as they have under the conditions laid down by "military necessity, Bra1sted was unable to re- port that great improvements can be looked for' due to the necessity for

French tennis players of note are gone. Golf has lost Lord Annesley, W. A. Henderson and Julian Martin Smith. and Miss Neill Fraser died while acting as trained nurse for the allies.
 Lieutenant W. w. Halswelle, the Olympic champion in 1908 in the 400 meter run and holder of the British 300 and 40 yards records; Anderson of
 Oxford, who competed in the Olympics
 in Stockholm; Kenneth Powell, cham pion high hurdler. and James Duffy, the Canadian distance runner. are a few lost to England.
 ! J. Bouin, the greatest distance run ner France ever produced and holder of French records from 2,500 to 5000 me- | ters and in English distance running from two to eleven miles. was reported killed some time ago.
 | Germany, it is reported, lost the two greatest athletes the country ever had. l One, R. Rau, was the champion sprinter and record holder. The other, Hans ! Braun, the middle distance runner, was one of the worlds greatest half milers. Anthony F. Wilding was the best
 known tennis player to be killed in ac- ton. He was a member of the Aus
 tralasian team which captured the Davis cup in 1914.
 Another famous English athlete to meet Wilding's fate was Kenneth Powell, who was captain of the Cam bridge team at the time Wilding at tended the English university. Dr. Otto Nirnheim, secretary of the German Lawn Tennis association and
 perhaps the most powerful figure in tennis in the kaisers domain, died in a hospital in Louvain, having been ter ribly wounded by bursting shell. The ranks of the leading French players were reduced by the deaths of Chelli, secretary of the Lawn Tennis club of France and player of eXcep-
 tional ability, and Du Bousquet. who fell at the battle of the Marne. Otto Froitzheim and Oscar Kreuzer,
 who composed the German team which
 lost to Brookes and Wilding at Pitts
 burgh, are both prisoners of war, hav-
 ing been captured by the English at Gibraltar.

members on most of the big commit tees of the house. These commitfek- ships are proportioned among the parties according to their strength. and in the coming congress, if this rule is adhered to. the Democrats will not have more than one, or at the most two. rna- jority on any committee. Inasmuch as practically all of the chairmen of the house committees of importance come from the south, where Republican Asc- tories are few and far between, there will be practically no changes in chair- manships in that body. #
 The defeat of John J. Fitzgerald of New York for supreme court justice at the recent election saved to the north ern Democrats the important chair manship of the house committee on ap- propriations. which would probably have gone to Sherley of Kentucky had Fitzgerald been elected.

 In addition to large influx of new blood, a number of tried veterans re- turn to the Republican ranks in the house, who will materially assist the small minority in the last congress in making it's political record just prior to the opening of the national campaign. Among the old timers who will take seats in the house on the Republican side are John O. Tilson and Ebenezer J. Hill of Connecticut; William w. Will son, George E. Toss, Charles E. Fuller.

struggle that has escaped notice in the more monlentous questions of the day is the effect of the war upon athletics. The 1916 Olympics were scheduled for Berlin, but it is doubtful whether there will be any for many years to come, and it is likely that international tour naments will be called off until the places in the ranks of the noted ath- letes killed or incapacitated can be filled.
 Johnny Poe, the Baltimore man kill- ed at Loos recently, was probably the
