The coloring of the scene was of such bewildering beauty that I glued my dusiy face to the window and stari-much us the sailor Sinbad In Arabian Nights must have stared at the valley of diamonds.

When, on February 1. 100, the first purvey was made, the men in whose minds was born the plan to shorten the distance between Lucin and Ogden by going across the lake Instead of around it. were confronted by an undertaking more stupendous than that which loomed up before the royal builder of the pyramids, for the latter had only to consider ways of getting his material to the spot, while the former had to plan not only that, but the far more difficult feat of keeping It there. The pyramid builders bad at least a good solid foundation on the sands of the Orient, but the Great Salt Lake seemed bottomless; and often when bottom was reached It proved to be only treacherous quicksands. Work was begun from the Ogden end in June, 1902, and after many discouragements and an expenditure of nearly 13,000,000, the Lucin cut-oUtah. was completed.

We reached long stretches of bam-land with patches of lonely looking sagebrush, and soon began to pass little huts along the track, through the open doors of which evidences of a busy life could be seen. But this was no languorous scene of the Orient. Here men were turning sturdy, wide-awaflapjacks for breakfast, while other were Infringing on the rights of union. Even the chickens in front of the cabins seemed to have caught the working fever, for they rushed about among the dusty sagebrush in a hurry that would aeein more in keeping with the spirit of Chicago than with the silent plain of ke waters of Great Salt Lake, In which even the fishes of the ocean can not live, glitter wonderingly at the little conqueror of steam and steel which glides so swiftly and surely over the scar upon its breast. It waa worth having crossed the American continent to stand on the rear platform of the train and look back that winds maover the Lucin cut-o- ff jestically across the great dead sea of the western hemisphere. And as we stood there In the morning light a faint hint of what rallorad building mean came to us, and even the least imaginative and most prosaic among us voted that If he were one of the Immortal Olympian twelve he would crown with wreathe of golden bay the to men who added the Lucin cut-o- ff Kaththe wonder of the new world. leen L.
