Show ROUTE lU UTAH STATE JOURNAL, THURSDAY, UTAH DAILY G Blue mountain, the reports would be forwarded to headquarters and passed upon. It Is the intention that Engineer shall come to Vernal shortly, when he will be taken in charge by local parties and a trip made along the Vernal west via proposed route Uintah the gap. In speaking of the work of construction, Mr. Conkle stated that the points of attack would be where the work was the heaviest at first, as the lighter grades could be constructed in a short time after the heavier parts were well on toward completion. Mr. Moffat has said that the policy of the road will be to build up and not tear down the towns along the route, and the company will not build rival towns for the purpose of injuring those already established. If the northern route is chosen and Vernal is on the main line, It will be up to the people of the town to decide where they want the depot, and the company will follow their wishes in the matter as far os possible. No bonuses will be asked, however, and the company stands ready to pay for what it gets. JANUARY 21, PITIABLE STORY 1904, ROSS BOOK STORE se Of MOFFAT ROAD C. C. CONKLE, RIGHT OF AGENT, TALKS. WAY Furnishes 8oma Intareating Information of Plana of Promotera of Denver, Northweatem A Pacific. The Vernal Express prints the lowing lnteriKiiiig interview with fol- re- gard to the Denver, Northwestern ft Pacific railway, usually known aa the . Moffat road: C. C. Conkle, right of way agent for the Denver Northwestern ft Pacific railway company, spent Sunday in Vernal. He met with a number of the county and city officials and prominent citizens around town during the day, and gathered a lot of data regarding resources, routes through the valley, etc., that is of vital Interest to the company. "While Mr. Conkle's duties Rre the securing of rights of way, he, writh all with the company, is instructed to gather information whenever possible that will be of Interest to the officials. His business on this occasion was for the purpose of inspecting the surveys that are being made by the surveying party that has been working from Strawberry this way. This camp, which consists of eighteen men in charge of Engineer Rlttenhouse, has now moved down to the Duchesne bridge on the Price road and will work from there this way. During the camp moving and pending the preparation of some other work, Mr. Conkle took occasion to run over to town, and expressed himself as being highly pleased with what he saw and heard. During the day, in conversation with those he met, he was given every assurance that the people of Vernal and Uintah county would do everything possible to assist the company in matters of right of way, etc., across the county, and would welcome the coming of the road. When questioned directly concerning the progress and prospects of the line Mr. Conkle stated that there is no doubt whatever concerning the construction, and the people of the county cun rest assured that they will have the road in due time. The company is spending a great deal of time and money on preliminary surveys, as it is the intention to get the line Just wheri they want it 'regardless of expense, and this necessitates some little delay. As fast as located, however, construction work will be pushed on the line. It is now the Intention to locate the crossing of the "Wasatch range in time to commence work this spring, no that work can be progressing at both ends at the same time. "When asked concerning the route through this section Mr. Conkle stated there were two routes under consideration. The one by way of Vernal and the Bear river canyon, which is the one most favorably considered Just now, and the other by way of Lelund and Jensen and around the foot of Blue mountain. From the statements made by Mr. Conkle It was quite clear that the company is very partial to the route by way of Bear river canyon and Verna, and the key to the whole situation Is the big gorge down Bear river. The fact that everything just now on this part of the line depends upon the report of the surveying party working down the canyon, goes to show that no other route will be considered if a grade ran be secured that way. Island park. Mr. Conkle stated, had been made the Initial point to which the engineers from both ways are to make their objective point, and they will be under instructions to exhaust every means of locating the route that way if possible. The reasons for preferring the canyon route are that It Is directly on the line. It follows the water, affording a good grade. It will bring the line directly to Vernal and thereby maintain the elevation, and will furnish one of the most attractive stretches along the line. Mr. Conkle's attention was called to the published maps which have shown the line by way of White river and Ouray, and was asked if there was any probability of that route being chosen. His nnswer was that if it was found necessary to go around Blue mountain. it would be no further south than was absolutely necessary, which would mean at crossing at Jensen. The fact that the company shows an inclination to keep its line as far north as possible augurs well for Vernal, and since the visit of Mr. Conkle there Is a very optimistic feeling regarding the future of the town. When asked when it would be definitely known which route would be chosen. Mr. Conkle stated that the surveying parties would probably meet at Island park in sixty days and then after running a survey to the south of A BURIAL AT 8EA. I had always conceived a burial at sea to be a very solemn and event, but I was quickly disillusioned by this burial, at any rate. d One oi the hunters, a little man, whom his mates called Smoke," was telling stories, liberally with oaths and obscenities, and every minute or so the group of hunters gave mouth to a laughter that sounded to me like a chorus of wolves. The sailors trooped noisily aft, some of the watch below rubbing the sleep from their eyes, and talked in low tones together. There was an ominous and worried expression on their faces. It was evident that they did not like the outlook of a voyage under such a captain and begun so lnauspiclously. From time to time they stole glances at Wolf Larsen, 'and I could see that they were apprehensive of the man. He stepped up to the hatch cover and all caps came off. I ran my eyes over them twenty men, all told, twenty-two including the man at the wheel and myself. I was pardonably curious in my survey, for it appeared my fate to be pent up with them on this miniature floating world for I knew not how many weeks or months. The sailors, in the main, were English and Scandinavian, and their faces seemed of the heavy, stolid order. The hunters., on the other hand, had stronger and more diversified faces, with hard lines and the marks of the free play of passions. Strange to say, and I noted it at once. Wolf Larsens features showed no such evil stamp. There seemed nothing vicious In them. True, there were lines, but they .were the lines of decision and flrmnss. It seemed, rather, a frank and open countenance, which frankness or openness was enhanced by the fact that he was I could hardly benext incident occurred, until the lieve, that it was the face of a man who could behave as he had behaved to the cabin boy. At this moment, as he opened his mouth to speak, puff after puff struck the schooner and pressed her side under. The wind shrieked a wild song through the rigging. Some of the hunters glanced anxiously aloft. The whole ice rail, where the dead man lay, was burled In the sea, and as the schooner lifted and righted, the water swept across the deck, wetting us above our shoe tops. A shower of rain drove down aipon us, each drop stinging like a hailstone. As it passed. Wolf Larsen began to speak, the bareheaded men swaying in unison to the heave and lunge of the deck. I only remember one part of the service," he said, and that is And the So body shall be cast into the sea. cast it in." He ceased speaking. The men holding the hatch cover seemed perplexed, puzzled no doubt by the briefness of the ceremony. He burst upon them in a fury. Lift up that end there! What the s the matter with you? They elevated the end of the hatch cover with pitiful haste and, like a dog flung aside, the dead man slid feet first Into the sea. The coal at his feet dragged him down. He was gone. "Johansen." Wolf Larsen said briskly to the new mate, keep all hands on deck now they're here. Get in the top sails and outer Jibs. We're in for a sou'easter.

A frail, thinly-cla-d orphan girl was found by Marahal Michael Mauaa of Murray yesterday on the bridge which spasn the Cottonwood stream in the southern part of the county, stamping up and down the planks in an almost vain effort to keep warm. She was almost frozen, but when removed to a warm room and supplied with food, she recovered and upon being questioned spoke freely of herself. She Is almost a typical Albino, having gray hair and pink eyes. She said her name is Josephine Taylor and that she is 14 years old. She said that she had come with her parents from Ne braska to Provo, where both her parents died, leaving her stranded and alone. Remembering that she had a brother working on the Lucln f, she started for Ogden on foot Her shoes were badly worn and her bare toes were sticking out. Around her head was wrapped a thin shawl. A worn, faded and torn boy's overcoat, a thin suit of underclothing, a pair of stockings and a calico skirt coming above her knees was the extent of her clothing. Notwithstanding her sad plight, she showed no Inclination to beg, and might have perished from cold and hunger had she not fallen into kindly hands. GIRL RAN AWAY. The girl was taken to Salt Lake and cared for by the officers. Her story was investigated and it was found that Instead of being an orphan she had run away from her home at Pleasant Grove. Her parents were notified by Sheriff Emery and the girl was taken back to her home by her father.

Recollections" of the late John Callcott Horsley, the English painter, contain many anecdotes. Here is one about the Duke of Wellington: On one occasion, during the assises at Reading, the Judges were staying at Strathfieldsaye with the great duke, who entertained them hospitably. The duke had various harmless eccentricities. One was that at breakfast time his favorite man servant used to bring in a long tray upon which were a number of small and beautiful silver teapots, questioning his guests individuWhat tea do you take, sir, ally. black or green?" was asked in stentorian tones. Now young Denman (afterward Lord Denman), who was acting as marshal to his father, had been consumed with nervousness ever since he entered the house at the very thought of converse with his distinguished host, and when the question was shouted at him aa to black or green the bashful youth hesitated, stammered and, when the question was put a second time with some impatience, the reply came out with a rush at last. I take it mixed, your grace. The duke was taken aback at the unaccustomed answer, but in a moment roared out, Take Mr. Denman two pots." The table was convulsed. The NAUGHTY! NAUGHTY! HE SAYS. Homer's Iliad and the epics of Virgil were denounced yesterday by Dr. J. A. Leavitt of Ewing college, who addressed the Baptist Ministers' association at the Masonic temple. In the story of the siege of Troy he saw nothing more than the story of a man away with another man's wife." He admitted there was something heroic in the wanderings of Ulysses, but he could find nothing to admire in the heros loiterings on an Island with Calypso. "All these pagan classics, notwithstanding their popularity, leave their stain on the purity of our literature," declared Dr. Leavitt. They should be succeeded in our colleges and schools by the more wholesome and elevating literature of the Bible. Our land is being flooded with paganism and pagan works. Our poetry has become ns sensuous ns that of the old Greeks and Romans." Confessions of a Priest. The speaker also commented upon Rev. Jno. S.
