ANOTHEB NEW LINE TO THE COAST Tirst Repoit of This Year's Wheat Crop A Swedish Railroad Inspector Com-ing to Salt Lake City. t Clark of the Union Paciiic, now iu Xew York, says there is no truth in the report that freight was being diverted from the main lino of tho Union Pacific down over the Kansas Pae'lic branch of the Missouri Paciiic, thence via St. I.oitis and the Richmond Terminal system eastward to tho seaboard. He said that reports would show that the Missouri Paciiic, had turned over to the Union Paeilio hundreds of car loads more than it had received from the latter. Some of the railroad people in the west believe that Mr. Could is strain-ing every effort to pile up the tonnage of the Missouri l'acilic so that it will be entitled to a better proportional show-ing than its neighbors in the great southwestern Consolidation which is tinder way. Mr. Clark said that this supposition was groundless, and that the other roads would not make such a statement if they themselves were not trying to make as big a tonnage show-ing as possible. I'Attern or tha I'enn.. The minister of railroads is about to Introduce into the Prussian railroad hervico a new freight car running on eight w heels and constructed aftur the pattern of the Pennsylvania line.- It is to carry thirty tons; that is, about three times the freight of the average car now in use. The minister during the week held a conference with some of the engineers who visited America last s,' summer, and discussed with them the ; prospect of American railroading anil ' the reasons of its success. He said the kaiser was far from being atislied with t iu system in vogue iu Germany ami changes would have been eiiectnd shortly after the beginning .of bis reign if ho and his councilors could haveseco their way clear. I Whit. Mmii siul tli Northern Cnrillr. Assistant (ieneral Superintendent G. W. Dickinson of the Northern l'acilic is making a periodical trip over the west-ern end ol the division. Ho his business trip to Itutto had nothing whatever to do with tho railway muddle with tin; Anaconda company. He re-ports that hisetid of the no trouble with the snow this year. Asked relative to the "white mail," he said the project has been abandoned. 'J he company did expect to secure the mail carrying contract, and it was tho j n ten ii mi to run a special mail train, but. it w as subsequently learned that the government contract with tho Union l'acilic w as of such a nature that it could uot be taken from them a this time. What Indications Show. The first reports of this year's wheat crop are being gathered by the rail-roads. The Atchison, Kock Island ami Hurlington report a larger acreage in wheat than ever before, and that tho wheat is in excellent condition. In Kansas the acreage is reported at 30 percent increase over last year, with lair prospects of fifty million bushels, against thirty-Ay- million last year. S. T. K. Prime, tho crop expert," reports but little grain in store in the west, and that the season on the whole is back-ward. A Kftllroad Improvement. Superintendent H. M. Yerington of the Virginia & Truckee railroad has a of surveyors at work in Gold rarty They are "to straighten the track between the Crown Point bridge anil the tunnel at the upper end of the town. Hy takiug some of the curve out of the road at that point trains will be able to puil out of the Gold Hill depot without delay, ami without being obliged to back up and take tho bend with a rush. Thoy Wnut i Nuilairiy. The Port Angeles Southern railway promoters are after a subsidy. They want $:S."i0,0u0 to build a line from Port Angeles to Port Discovery, connecting at the latter point with the l'nion line, generally spoken of as the Port Townseud Southern. 'The com-pany was recently incorporated aud Mie line is likely to be built! lllrrot LIuh to ill Cnitiit, With a capital of $2,01)0,000 there is a itrong possibility that the Mexico Cuec-navac- a & Paeilii: company will con-struct a line from lienver to the coast. The road will run from Denver to the City of Mexico, throucrh Ciicrnanca and tap a tine harbor point on the coast. It promises to be the most direct line from Mexico to the oceau.

Thirty-fiv- Central Pacific conduc-tors are taking a vacation because they did not make honest returns to the company. The new mail service on the Manii branch of the Hio (irando Western will be begun next Monday and ere long ex-tended to Salina. W. H.

Tho other day, when mi Illinois politician was sitting on his overcoat in one of the plunh covered chairs at the Grand Pacific discussii tho senatorial outlook with un acquaintance, the polite thief stepped uptothe guest, and tapping bim gently on tho shoulder said, "You are sitting on my overcoat, sir." Oh, 1 bog j our pardon," replied tho guest as he lifted himself from ins garment, and, continuing his discussion, let tho fellow walk off with a fit) ulster. Tim guest told his experience to Mr. Sam Parker, who extended this consolation: "Oh, that's nothing. You go back to the same chair, and tho thief will come back and eteid your shoes." Mondaf tho thief of nerve entered tha writing room of tho Palmer house. A man was sitting at the desk busily en-gaged in writing. His new Bilk hat was on the table not tw--o inches from his el-bow. The tbiefl wore a black Derby, without lining or sweatband. When he departed he fwpro the guest's eight dollar silk, leavingthe worn out Derby behind. But the man of nerve was not satisfied with that J Ho paid a Palmer house messenger lav twenty-fiv- e cents to carry this note ffi his victim, "Oh, where did you get that hat.?" This was the first intimation the guest had of his loss. Not long ago a guest was taking a nap in one of the easy chairs in the ro-tunda of the Tremont house. Tho thief stepped up to him, removed his new hat from his head, nnd left an old slouch ia its place. Chicago Tribuue. COLORADO NOTES. Trinidad has granted a waterworks franchise to August Krille. 'The new rates will be 50 per cent lower than the present ones. It is said to be settled that the Damascus steel works will locate at Irondale. Tho contemplated works aro to cost '.'30.0iK). The surveying division of the general land ollice has been considering the resurvey of lands on tho lilack Lake river and Hluo river. Prospecting in the higher altitudes will begin late this year owing to tho large amount of snow to be found above timber line. A railroad has been incorporated w hich will extend from Delta to and beyond the anthracite coal beds thirty miles up tho north fork of the Gunnison liver. James Mackay of the Carnegie iron firm of Pittsburg has bought the Car- - Initiate King mine on Hod mountain for $ 10.000, and part of the mouey has been paid. Water from Moulder's new reservoir has been turned on. The supply is suf-ficient for a place of ."iO.UOO people. The pressure at tho court house is 120 pounds to the square inch. The annual meeting of the White River Stock Growers' association has been called for April 7, when tho olli-cer- s for the ensuing year are to be elected, and preparations mads for tho spring roundup. A. R. lilack of Canon City expects to make a canal from the river about three miles up Grape creek to the city. The water wiil be used for irrigating Lincoln park and to furnish drinking water to tho people of South Canon. The contract for the erectiou of a flour mill at Duraugo has been let, and work will shortly be commenced. The building will be finished within sixty days after work has been started. The capacity of the mill will bo lifty barrels a dav. Tho Denver oil and gas company have recently located below Meeker some seventeen thousand acres of land. An oil boring plant costing over $15,000 is now on the road from Pennsylvania and w ill be shipped part to ltiile Creek and part to (iraud Zunction, and when the roads wiil allow it, will bo hauied to their destination. Indictments wero returned by the grand jiuy at Trinidad against Sheriff Krieger and Deputy C. C. Murray for malfeasance iu ollice. It is charged that women of questionable character were allowed to associate with the male prisoners iu the county jail aud that all'airs generally have been very looselv and badly managed. The largest shipment af raining ma- - chinery that has ever left Pittsburg started from that city a few days ago on its way to Golden. The machinery consisted of a complete mining equip-ment, with all the necessary engines, hoisting apparatus and excavators, and it weighed ail told about ninety tons. Tho inachiuerv left by water and will be conveyed in that way as far west as possible "before being transferred to rail. A Leadviile special to the Denver says: "The many friouds of Thomas W.'luirehiuell were shocked at the aimuuueemeul of Ins sudden death which occurred this afieruoou from pneumonia after an illncis of but forty-eigh- t hours. Deceased has heid the office of re-ceiver forthe Leadvilie land ollice since Mr. Burchinell was a pioneer, coming here during the exciting times of 'la. He piospucteii for a number of years wilh varying success, and four years ago was given tho position of re-ceiver by President Cleveland, which . he held until his death." An Abomination. Our esteemed contemporary falls into a vulgar error when it says that, the young lady who is to wed the Rev. Thomas G. Milsted ia to become that worthy gentleman's helpmeet. We ol- -j t to the word "helpmeet." The only excuse for its use is its usage by and among ignorant jieople. When God taw that it was not good for man to be alone ho said, "I will jnako him an help meet for him." These words, recurring in holy writ, have been confounded by the careless and tho un-thinking, and tho result is that abomina-tion "helpmeet." Christ bade tho Pharisees and Saddu-cee- a "bring forth fruits meet for repent-ance." If we aro to have helpmeet, why should we not also havo fruitsinect? Tho confusion of ideas induced by tha juxtaposition of certain words is felici-tously illustrated by tho old story of the pastor who, rising iu his pulpit, said: "Brethren, I take for my text today a part of tha fifteenth verse of tho thir-teenth chapter of tho gospel according to St. Mark, 'Topknot, go down!'
