Cottonwood R.R.
To Be Built
Contracts Signed by Ore Shippers
for Construction OF Line to
Cost 100000

Salt Lake, May 13.-At n cost Of
more than S20OO,00O the Pearson En-
cheering syndicate proposes to build
the long delayed railroad from Wa
satch to Alta to haul the ores OF the
Big Cottonwood mining district thru
Little Cottonwood canyon by way OF
the Salt Lake & Alta railroad to
the smelters at Midvale Work will
commence at once. Announcement
to that effect was made last night by
I. F. Greene OF Boston, representa-.
tive Of the Pearson syndicate who
has been here two weeks perfecting
plans for building the road.
The Wasatch Alta road will do
away with teams and tractor engines
in both canyons and thereby elimin.
ate what has been charged is men,
ace to the purity OF Salt Lakes wa
ter supply.
For more than two years mining
men OF both canyons have been
working on the plans for the rail-
road and for nine months promoters
have been in Salt Lake attempting to
induce ore shippers to sign contracts
which would insure its construction.
The final contract necessary was Sc
cured last night.
The old survey of the railroad be-
tween the two canyons which has
been partially built and ON which
tunnel 1900 feet long has been com
rleted will be followed by the forty
inch railroad which is to be built.
The remainder OF the tunnel between
the Little Cottonwood and the Big
Cottonwood, amounting TO more than
5000 feet OF boring will be finished.
and It Is the intention to carry the
work through so that the ore ship
ments from the Cardiff, the Columbus
Extension and other mines in the
Big Cottonwood will be sent out ov-
err the railroad through the Little
Cottonwood canyon.
The Salt Lake & Alta road will
probably be improved by third
rail, which will permit the passage
OF the forty inch cars, but II is the
intention OF the builders to reload in.
10 the standard guage cars at Was
atch, the terminus of the railroad.
1t is cheaper to reload the cars
at Wasatch than to run the third rail
to Mldyale at this time. The dis.
lance from Wasatch to Aalta is eight
miles and the tunnel will be more
than a mile long and after the divide

PIED PIPER DAY TO
Be CELEBRATED

Pied Piper day will be celebrated
by the Panama California Interna-
tional Exposition during May. On
the day that this novel idea is to be
offered, every child in the San Di-
ego schools will be invited to az
semble in Balboa Park, outside the
Exposition grounds at 10 o'clock in
the morning. At this hour, the pied
piper will appear from the Exposi.
ton canyon, beneath the Puente Ca.
brillo. and will greet the children.
As soon as he begins to play, ne will
march through the gates, across the
bridge and into the Exposition
grounds, conducting special tour
to various beauty spots and ending
with a great performance given on
the motor demonstration field for
the benefit of Riddles. Previous to
this day the Exposition will dis.
tribute in all the schools copies or
the story OF the pied piper with
reproduction of the Max Perish
painting.

DRY ROT IN
THE ARMY

Lieut.. Colonel George Montgomery
commander of the Frankford arsenal
at Philadelphia, in "a recent address
condemned promotion in the army
by seniority. He declared II the
cause of dry rot. No great harm
may be done so long as the force is
busy at its usual tasks Of keeping
the army post grounds in order. But
IL we some day run up against a
first class fighting machine, a price
will be paid.
No business would live five years
IL promotion was made dependent on
seniority. Such a rule puts the
stopper on ambition, and makes a
man feel as II he owned his job and
a mortgage on the one above him.
Business success depends on picking
the best talent, young or old. ana
giving 1t the chance to express itself.
"The tools to him who can use them"
is a vital old French proverb.
Ambitious men sure OF their pow
ers and capable OF high efficiency,
must find army conditions discourage
ing. They want to achieve success
by creating 1t themselves, not by
waiting for dead mems shoes. They
are little likely to tie themselves
down to the chance of some distant
funeral.
There is jealousy in any group OF
workers when the new man or the
Young man is jumped over the heads
OF old timers. The latter can't I'M
derstand it and see no justice in 1t.
In a private employment the bar
nacles have but one chance, to quit
or keep still. They take the latter
not having confidence. in their abil'
ity to succeed elsewhere.
In the government service there
arc many strings and wires that can
be pulled to defeat promotion by mer-
IT. No doubt harmony in the SER
vice is promoted by a seniority rule.
II nominally treats all alike, ana the
ambitious man who so easily becomes
a disturbing element is practically
told that II he does not wish to wait
his turn, he cen quit. But the more
such a rule becomes effective the
more wooden army organization be-
comes.

Irish politics appears to have been

into the hands Of Irelands champi-

where they might have tempered 1t

II is the incurable error OF a weak
government that 1t invariably turns
fool into 4 martyr. The men who
fomented the late rebellion were no
more nor less than foolish-glorious
patriotic frolishness perhaps. but
foolishness none the less. They
would not be dangerous alive, wheth-

When the revolt began, so fervent

could not foresee that the British
government, which had sat supinely
idle while the rebellion was organic
ed though conscious of 1t, would take
such savage reprisals as to draw to-

character but because of the charac'
