Dear Mother: / received your
welcome letter yesterday and am
very glad that you are able to get

paper where the Archbolds were
down to see you. Did they come in
their car?
"Our company has charge of the
mess hall and l am a mess cook
again. 1t is the only part of the
training that really dislike, but by
the time this reaches you will be
out and drilling again.

by the rear admiral of the navy, and
when he and his staff Of about ten
officers come along and look you ov-
er to see If there is a speck of dust
on one a fellow surely does feel
small. The Mackay boys send their
love and best regards to you. They

NOTABLE RAILROAD
IMPROVEMENT
Union Pacific Makes Big Cut I'm
Grades by New Track I'm
Weber Canyon, Utah

More than q million tons Of earth
and rock were moved in the building
of a new track, which has just been
completed on the Union Pacific sys-
tenn Just east Of Ogden, Utah. The
Job is remarkable because it was
undertaken and completed at time
when railroad construction over the
country was at the lowest ebb In
years and because 1t cuts down to
a maximum of so feet to the mile,
grades which formerly were much
heavier. Incidentally the new track,
in places 65 feet higher than the old,
gives the traveller on the Overland
route a better view of the scenic
glories of Weber canyon, one Of the
finest beauty spots of the land.
The work was begun in April,
1915, and "cut i'm for service De-
cember 81, 1916.
At many points the new line was
constructed so close to the old line
that 1t was difficult to carry on the
operations of grading and ballasting
without interfering seriously with
the operation of trains on the exist
ing line, and of necessity the work
had to be conducted with great care
to avoid accidents to trains or cause
delays to traffic.
The rate of grade in Weber can
yon on the old line is about 96 feet
to the mile; on the new line 1t is
exactly 60 feet to the mile.
There was one tunnel built on the
new line thru a bold projection OF
granite known as Sheephead rock.
The work in this tunnel was COM
paratively slow on account of the IT.
regularity of the layers of rock which
were inclined at a great variety OF
angles and made in many places ex-
cavation of the material both difficult
and dangerous. The tunnel is about
$50 feet long and is lined thruout
with a wall of concrete two feet thick
to hold back the sand and gravel that
would otherwise fall upon the track.
Here is the place where biologists
tell us there existed at one time the
lake known as Bonneville, which was
larger than Lake Michigan. Evil
dences exist in this canyon to show
that the shore lines of the lake ex-
tended we'll up into the canyon, prob
ably much higher than the grade
reached by the present work.
In all about 100000 yards of ma
terial was removed or total weight
of 100000 tone, which was quite
an item considering that there was
scarcely room to work above the
lower level of the original track.
Not one life was lost during the
work and no serious accidents oc-
ruded
It was through Weber canyon that
the early Mormon" band of pioneers
travelled to reach Emigration canyon.
and thence emerged into the valley

many other historical events connect

ploration and progress of the west,

SEED MEN ARE SAVED.

For the past month the men who
were raising alfalfa seed have been
worried more or less about the fail
ure of the bloom and seed spikes to
form right, and many of them lost
their nerve and cut the crop for hay.
Recent developments indicate that the
seed crop is developing all right, not
withstanding the lack of honey bees,
the rank growth of stalks and what
ever else was threatening.

Expected Current Will Re Turned on Monday-Better Lights for Res
 idence Section.

The electric current on the new white way will be turned on, in all probability, on October 1. The wiring for the different circuits has been completed, transformers placed, and all that is now necessary to complete the system is the removal of few of the 1O3 iron fixtures or poles"
 There are to be eight Z50 candle power lights to the block, four on each side of the street, and the sys- tenn will extend from Barraque to Seventh, on Main; from State to Wal nut on Barraque, and from State to Walnut on Second. One light at each street intersection will burn all night, the others will be turned off at Ii o'clock p. m.
 Another improvement in the light ing system arranged for by the city council which will be completed by October 1. it is believed, is the suo- stitution for the present 32-candlc- power lights of globes with an illum' Ination of 6O-candlepower.
 With these Improvements it is pre- dicted that Pine Bluff will be one of the best lighted cities in the South.

Little damage was caused.'
