Jay 70 the Interstate commerce COM
, mission for government loan of 90 Il.
ooo'OOO with which to construct a Inn.
nei six miles long on portion of ne
road about ITO miles west Of Denver.
The receivers Of the Denver 4 Salt
Lake railroad, in arguing for grant Of
the loan, declared the proposed tun.
mel would eliminate grave and serious
difficulties" which they now have TO
race In operating the railroad, which
climbs to 11.600 feet above sea level.
The tunnel would allow them TO re-
duce the highest elevation on the rail-
road to $3.50 feet, and would eliminate
twenty-seven miles Of per cent grade
over which their locomotives now have
to climb in winter with rotary snow
plows in front every day to maintain
operations.
If the money Is granted, the re-
ceiyers added, the line can be compile
ted TO its projected terminus at Salt
Lake City, and coal field estimated to
contain 50,O00O00,0O0 tons of bltumin-
Gus coal can be adequately served.
The receivers estimated that the low
er operating charges and the Increased
efficiency attained by long tunnel at
the summit would result Immediately
in an increase of 200 per cent in the
traffic. Also very large area Of Cello
RADIO now without railroad service, anu
much of ii government land, the appli-
cation said, would be made available
for settlement.

that the Japanese attitude is without

sures, which were designed to and
proved able to bring bring back bust

WHEN MEN WERE "FLAPPERS'
Grandpa Wore corsets and Was Sure.
| ly Some Dude in the Days of
| His Golden Youth.

"There is so much talk against the
fapper these days, but history records
that men were the flappers 80 years
ago." remarks the Gillette (Wyo.)
News. This assault on the dignity and
good fame of the generation of grand
fathers is bolstered up by certain evil
dence: "They creased their hair, wore
cOrsets and otherwise made themselves
look fine. Twenty years ago they wore
stiff-bosomed shirts, silk belts six
inches wide, parted their long hair in
the middle and wore neckties that
puffed out in front like the breast of a
pouter pigeon"
Reading further in sartorial history,
1t will be found that at one period the
shoulders of mems coats were heavily
padded to make the verlest weakling
appear an athlete. 1t may even be sus-
pected that the sterner sex gave up
wearing breeches because so many did
not possess the proper shaped leg.
Airing of the facts brought up by this
Wyoming editor has the benefit of in
ducing a better spirit Of humility. 1t
serves to remind also that the fashion
of one age almost invariably appears
grotesque to the next, and suggests
that the present modes are but trans
itory, being destined to give way to
something perhaps worse, perhaps bet
ter, but surely different.

The Weeds of Memory.

To live long, 10 look young, TO be
happy-all this may be summed up in
one word, says famous Frenchwom-
an-"Forget !" If we could make this
rigid rule-and keep tive should
most certainly be better and stronger,
physically, mentally and morally. In
stead Of wasting our vitality on the
irrevocable past, we should garner up
our energies for the present and fu-
ture, which may hold so much that
may demand our uttermost, both of
brain and body.
Forget all the pinpricks of yester,
day and the day before; they made
life seem blank at the time, all, all
those tiresome worries that cumber
every ones existence, and though diff
ferent in detail are alike in their power
to annoy.

A Glimpse Of Mars.

The planet Mars, which drew lit
tie nearer to the earth on June 1S, seen
through the telescope is to the novice
somewhat disappointing object. A
wise astronomer never allows visitor
to look at Mars at all, If he can help
1t. For the casual visitor never realizes
that the published drawings of the
planet represent the very most that
can be seen at the most exceptional
moment. In fact, the trained observer
cannot see per cent of the whole for
80 per cent of the time. But the novice
invariably expects to see the spider
webs of canals and he is-invariably--
disappointed.
