The Republican and Progress
sive conventions in session at
Chicago last week nominated
a presidential ticket each. The
Republicans named Hughes and
Fairbanks and the Progressives
Roosevelt and Parker. Hughes
Immediately resigned as Associ-
ate Justice of the Supreme Court
and accepted the nomination.
Roosevelt declined to accept the
nomination at the hands of the
Progressives for the present and
the convention left the matter of
candidates in the hands Of
the executive committee. Sub
sequent events point to a getting
together Of these two parties so
far as the head of the ticket is
concerned. Such action would
place Hughes in pretty much the
same situation as was Bryan
when he accepted both the Dem
ocratic and Populistnominations.
However, should the Progress
sives decide to pull down their
entire ticket, and thus move cart
and baggage into the Republican
camp. quite a different condition
would have to be met by the
Democrats now assembled at st.
Louis. There is no questioning
the fact that Hughes is a strong
nan and good organizer, and

Value Of Fruit Acids.

1t is thought that acid fruits induce
rheumatism. The contrary is true.
Fruit acids taken into the system by
a person, who has rheumatism act
beneficially, and actually have the eff
feet of increasing the alkalinity of the
blood. Experiments have proved this
conclusively. Thus person who has
too much uric acid in the blood should
for a time eat fruit or acid fruit juices
IN large quantities.

Acontempl.,ed Railroad Deal

A late issue of a Salt Lake City
paper contained the railroad observ-
stions:
The Denver & Salt Lake railroad,
which has heretofore declared its in
tention to build through Uintah bas-
In, has practically given up Its origi-
nal plans. 1t is declared, and after Dor
ing the James peak tunnel will take
the short route through Colorado and
connect with the Denver e. Rio
Grande at Dotsero, 100 miles east
of Grand Junction. The route which
had been mapped out by the new
financial interests in control Of the
road, will make fifteen hour run or
better between Salt Lake and Denver.
James A. McIlwee, who is at the
Hotel Utah, declared last night that
the firm Of Mcllwee brothers, tunnel
builders, had received from the Dem
yer 4 Salt Lake three propositions to
build the James peak tunnel and
that while none has as yet been ac-
cepted by the company, assurances
had been received that the tunnel will
be built. Mr.. McCline said he be-
lieve the road from Denver to Salt
Lake Is assured SO far as the finan-
cial arrangement are concerned.
In the event the contract is let
for the boring Of the James peak tun-
mel, the grade and the mileage will
both be reduced. The short line will
escape the high climb to Leadville
and over Tennessee Pass and there
will be eliminated number of 81
percent grades on the Denver & Rio
Grande line.
Who Is behind tho financial inter-
ests In the Denver & Salt Lake was
not disclosed by Mr.. McIlwee, but he
said he knows that enough money is
behind the proposition to make it go
II the directors and the engineers
feel that the road would improve the
service from the Pacific coast to the
east and get the traffic.
1.-THE Moffat road is surer of being
built today than it has In years."
said Mr.. McIlwee. 1--WE have SUBJ
United three propositions for build
ing the James peak tunnel, which il
the key to the short line, and IL any
one Of them Is accepted the road will
go through. know the Uintah basin
has been practically eliminated by
the engineers in charge of the roa 4
and that connection at Dotsero will
give the same If not better results as
far Ms the Denver& Salt Lake Ia con-
cerned. The road Is going through
