DEVELOPING A NEW REGION
Land f Great Promise Along the Hew Salt
Lake Road.
SHORTENING TRIP ACROSS THE DESERT
Construction Golnsjt On at 4 he Rate of
Oat Mile a Dr Wondera
Xmiv Towns Being;
Building at the rate of about one mile a
day the construction gangs at either end
of the new Salt Lake road are now almost
within "hollering" distance of each other.
A few days ago the graders on the eastern
end were well up on the summit which di
vides California from Nevada, while those
on the western, or Loa Angeles, end were
far enough out to throw stones to the edge
et the great dry lakes which lie Juat be
neath the summit. From thirty to sixty
days at moat should enable the advance
oampa of both sides to shake hands with
each other. Another thirty days should
bring the rails and the big engines up to
common sidings, and allow the engineers
and their groups of assistants to break bot
tle In the same car In felicitation over the
preliminary completion of a long, hot. duty
tak. .
From Bait Lake the route, even In Its
present Incomplete state, seems like walk
ing acroea lots to the store. The traveler
starts from Salt Lake City at nightfall and
before the middle of the next day Is In an
oasta In the midst of the Nevada desert, so
picturesque and refreshing that he is half
' minded to pitch his tent and remain with
"rf the rest of the folic who have gone to the
the new road.
t At this oasis Las Vegas by nume mingle
people from Daggett, Ivonpnh and Death
Valley who have tale of California to tell
that make the golden state seem to be only
over the little hill which rises to the west
of the oasla From the oasis to the west
ern end of the road it is a three days' drive
by team, but the route Is lined with foot
passengers and . household outfits and
freighters In such numbers that one thinks
the original outfitting point must be only
enough miles away to be counted on the
fingers. Indeed, after going over the other
transportation lines lhat lead from the east
to Callfornlo, the Salt Lake City route ap
pears so short and inconsiderable that one
Is inclined to allow even the sanguine
claims of the engineers of the route that
the trip from Salt Lake City to Lo? An
geles will ultimately be mads in eighteen
hours.
Short Desert Route.
Only eighteen hours on the desert! And
half of that, nearly, in desert that has been I
redeemed! The tourist will find it hard to !
go over a longer way. Freight, which never
likes to pound along more rails than it has
to, will forsake many of Its previous way
aad make the city of the Angels lu desti
nation. Fresh fruit will add itself in In
creased quantities to the citrus frul s which
are already exported in such proline quan
tities from southern California, and even
dried fruits are likely to welcome the new
and expeditious outlet to the eastern mar
ket. Add to the shortness of the trip a beauty
of scenery and excellence of track alto
gether unexpected in sugh locality!
Thanks to the peculiarly mountainous na
ture of the desert through which the road
passes, It Is Interesting and picturesque
from one end to the other. EJven the broad
agebursh piuins of southern Nevada, are
hemmed in by lofty ranges in which the
sunlight and clouds play like kaleidoscopes
at all seasons of the year; white at the
Utah end of the line Is a "Rainbow canyon''
which soon niay rival the famous gorges
of the Rio Grande as a tourist sight, and
at the California end is the superb, though
short, cunyort of the MoJave.
All things considered, one need have no
hesitution In Having thut nothing since the
original advent of the Santa to the
southern part of California has been of such
Importance as the approaching early com
pletion of the San Pedro, Los Angeles &
Salt Lake railroad.
Rich Territory.
Nevada and its seemingly useless stretch
of desert has bgen a tremendous drawback
to the development of California ever since
the collapse of the Comstock boom. Its
forbidding wastes have been contributed to
the astute efforts of the late Collis P.
Huntington to keep competing railroads out
of the state. They have made the people
of the east feel that the state of all states
Is separated from the "home" country by
interminable distances. They have pre
vented thousands of travelers from repeat
ing visits which otherwise would have been
most alluring and most enviable. They
hnve given an excuse for Injurious freight
rates. They have, withal, been the worst
impediment to progress thtt. the Pacific
coast has'had.
Therefore, when a new road Is about to
be completed which reduces the distance
across the desert for at leant one portion
of the state, which robs the desert of Its
dullness and makes the hours passed in
crossing It as Interesting as those passed
in crossing Colorado, it Is but fair to ack
nowledge the significance of the event.
Beyond question the Salt Lake City route
penetrates a most promising portion of the
desert Beginning with Daggett, where the
present terminal Is located. It Jumps at
once Into a territory capable of industrial
development as well as entertaining In
landscape.
In the Nevada Desert.
As at Daggett, so at other points along
the entire line to Salt Lake City. On the
Utah end are the mines of the Bingham,
the 'Frisco, the Ploche district, all of them
largo enough and promising enough to
foreshadow the construction of branch rail
roads; the irrigation districts of Clear lake,
where farms are beginning to loom up as
they did in the first days of Irrigation In
the Los Angeles and Ban Diego districts of
California.
In the middle of the Nevada desert Is the
luxuriant spot of Las Vegas, which stands
aa a marked proof of the possibilities of the
sage brush state when water Is applied to
Its boundless stretches of dry land.
Something of the commercial possibilities
of the route were suggested In a somewhat
concrete way as the trip was mado across
the desert. At Callonte, for example, there
has been for some time a sort of boom in
town lots. The proprietress of ono of the
local stores at the point ay that the price
of lots had Jumped from $50 to $150 each
since her advent to the 'town one year
previously. .This was notwithstanding the
fact that the railroad "front," as the end
of the construction line Is called, had
moved from Cnllente to a point 110 miles j
westward. Enthusiasts of thotown predict
the time whe-n city lots will be worth not
less than $2,000 each.
BollilluK New Towns.
At Las Vegas people are beginning to
move in for settlement, having learned
that the railroad officials Intended to build
a model city at that charming point. There
was a physician who had been in Los An
geles for a number of years, but who had
convinced himself that the warmth of the
desert air and the absolute general health
fulness of the situation would convert the
site into a great sanitarium. He had taken
up his residence In the old adobe hotel,
awaiting the arrival of ills family, and al
ready Is practicing in anticipation of the
lime when he should be the pioneer and
1-eadlng physician of the community.
There was at Vegas a former superin
tendent ot bridges and buildings on the
Santa Fe railroad, a contractor, who was
looking forward to the time when the town
should begin to build. He expected through
his previous knowledge of the desert con
ditions to be able to outbid his competitors
and to land enough contracts for buildings
to pay him for the deprivations of the antl
rallroad days.
Back from .Vegas, on the conHtructlon
train of the rallroud, was a physician
who had a leaning toward science nnd
who, on his days off suty at the train,
had wandered among the Nevada moun
tains and located a free milling gold mine
whose preliminary assays were running
nearly $30 a ton. He was cherishing the '
lair hope of being able to retire ultimately j
from his medical practice and devote him
self entirely to science. Of course he was
laughed at by his fellow railroad men, es
pecially by those who hud seen hundreds
of "tenderfoet" with equal hopes, but nev
ertheless certain officials higher than him
self in the railroad world are making as
much over a remarkable body of gypsum
which they had discovered as he was over
his quartz, notwithstanding that the gyp
sum mu8t indeed be abundant and of ex
ceptional grade to warrant hauling from
the heart of Nevada to the agricultural
regions where It Is apt to bs In demand.
Wonders Abont Ploche'. 1
Twenty miles from Caliento Is a pumping
station whence water is being forced a
distance of seventeen miles to mines at
Ploche. It Is around Ploche that the first
traces of the hieroglyphics are found Chat
mark a migration of the Indians south
ward und that open up a now field for
scientific exploration. It is not far from
Ploche that the remains of a mammoth
have been found embedded In the lime
stone. In fact In all the range of coun
try from Callente to Daggett, there Is n
multiplicity of interesting tilings, both
scientific and mercantile that suggest
travel, business opportunity and contribu
tion to the general grade and community
growth of the Pacltic coast.
Moapa river valley lies about seventy-five
miles westward of the present terminus of
the regular passenger service of the Salt
Lake route. It Is a broad, deep, foamy
sink In the surrounding hills, where trees
grow as luxuriantly as they do on the lands
surrounding Los Angeles, Here, undoubt
edly, another town will be founded. The
vulley stretches for miles north und south
and Is uhlelded from wlnda und storms, und
offers every inducement for settlement. Jt
Is exceeded in attractiveness only by the
oasis ut Lut Vegas.
Other oases are to be found along thu
route, more frequent In occurrence, me.re
easy of access than those which aru found
along the rullroad in the northern part of
Nevada, and closer to productive mineral
territory. Northern Nevada, doubtless, is
equally prolific in mineral wealth, and ulti
mately will do much to redeem the state
from Its reputation as a "rotten borough."
Chicago Chronicle.
THE WEDDING FOOL FRIENDS
Warm Roast for Brutal Prnotlcal
Jokers Infesting- Various
Communities.
A wedding Friday night li Philadelphia
had, as its ufter-play, tho "kidnaping", of
the bride. She was hustled Into another
carriage apart from her nw-madu hus
band, driven about town, brought back to
her own home at midnight and 'finally re
united to her huHunnd after hours of doubt
and delay, when both were semi-hysterical.
This ifi monstrous. Scarcely a dny passes
that the newspapers do not record how
brutal fool friends nt weddings have
trampled the tender sentiment of the hour
under their swinish feet and used their
brutish wit to put to shame, discomfort
and a lonthy public notice a man and wo
man at tho supreme moment of their mu
tual love and united lives.
Even among people of reserve, breeding
und position, the horse-play that goes on
la Inconceivable. Tricks are played. Prac
tical Jokes are carried out with noisy care
and a brutal disregard of a moment sacred
to the .departure of a young woman from
the home of her youth and the deur love
of her childhood and girl yeura. Carriages
are bedecked, trunks festooned, pranks In
numerable are played by young men an 1
women who look on themselves as liulies
and gentlemen, but who are really be
having like loutlnh boors of a brutal nnd
vulgar fancy.
Ill, offensive and noisome us tills sky
larking is amuni; people ol some pop'tlon,
at a. moment both ncrlous and btaut.'ful to i
thiFe to whom marrliigo !s a reality and
the ceremcny sacred, It passes belief what
Is dune by those who huvt never learned
manners und whose thoughts fly to vul

where Many newly-wed coup.es come now
keep a supply of hundcuS keys. Placards
are printed. Handbills are distributed.
Telegrams are sent broadcast. An elabor

vised, of which tho least objectionable fea
ture Is Its noise and the worst Is not to be
described in pluin print.
Wnerever done, among those of training,
birth and social relations, or among those
without these advantages, these things are
distasteful, disgraceful and a shocking med
dling with moments, by an universal con
sent, consecrated to those whose mutual
life is Just beginning. It Is Impossible' for
a self-respecting, reserved and refined per
son, with un atom of breeding or even a
very ordinary article of civilization an.t
education, to understand the cerebral con
volutions or the internal machinery of
those to whom this sort of practical horse
play or boorish practical Jokes seem
"funny" or even conceivable. If some
badgered groom were In worried despera
tion to shoot some audacious tormentor,
most Juries would acquit him.
A practice begun, with a little light
throwing of rice and slippers and a careless,
causeless, unpremeditated frolic aa the
bride and groom left the wedding guests, ,
has become a social nuisance and a boor
ish, disgusting habit of an order so vulgar,
an effect so lowering and a behavior se
outrageous that the elders ot the home at
every marriage should see to It that it 1
reformed altogether us too odious to be
longer endured. Philadelphia Press.

"Writo to tho papers and find out,"
