Tha Ogden-Luelo cut-off is line of track
extending from Ogden to I.u.ln, Uuh,
trowing the Great Sail Lata at lis widest
point. Its total length Is W.i m !e It
clips off the Southern Taclflc that detour
up snd around the lake of forty-tbree m-les
It was begun July 15, 190.'. and completed
about November 1. 1903. It was constructed
under the dlrertion of the Oregon Lurln
Railroad company. Incorporated In July,
1!10.
The old line between Ogden and Lurln Is
147 miles In length. It makes a dftmir
around the northern portion of the lake,
taking In Promontory, Keltnn and various
other small places, and comprises twenty
seven miles of rolling track where the
grades are heavy, but. can be -climbed by
single engine on the train by taking runs
for the hill; fifty-three mirea or very heavy
grades, demanding a double-header, and
sixty-seven miles of level ground. The new
line Is nearly straight. It ruts out that
portion of the old road which figures with
rather a sublime importance In the history
of the great. Overland Route,

When the t'fitoii Paclflo started to bulM
west from the BllssotiH river to the Central
Pacific east'fVom "California, it was tlw
expectation trtttt " the common terminal of
the two roads- Would be just. wherever tho
rails happened to "meet. Hence each com
pany worked to ' build- as far as possible.
The golden sp'IRo was' driven at Promon
tory Point, May 10, 1869. In the strenuous
race for distance? the -Central Pacific on
the last day -of construction, built ten
miles of tra and today there Is a big
white monument to record the fact.
Promontory Is due north of A point
about the center -of Great Salt Lake. As
this was an ' unfavorable location for a
common terminal, the original idea was
dropped and' Ogden Selected as the place.
portion of -the- road between Ogden snd
Promontory was turned over to the Cen
tral Pacific. Very briefly these are. the
circumstances ot the union of the two
lines of railway which closed the gap and
completed the first great transcontinental
railroad of tha United States.
This new line, formally opened and dedi
cated today, leaves the old road at Ogden
and darts across Great Salt Lake, strik
ing Lucln, 103.6 miles away, making almost
straight cut. Between Ogden and the
lake It traverses a level strip of country
for fourteen and a half miles. In this dis
tance the line crosses the Weber river
twice and makes three slight curves. In
all, the line Is composed of seventy-two
miles on land and twenty-nine and a half
of trestle on water. Twelve mllesand 600
feet of thla trestle is to be permanent;
the remainder filled with material from
Little Mountain, and Promontory Point.
Across Promontory Point, a distance of
five miles, the line skirts along on land.
One of the almost Insuperable obstacles
encountered by th4 builders of this won
derful piece of railroad was a rock 3,000
feet In length and averaging twenty feet
in aeptn, through which It was necessary
to cut. This Is on Promontory Point. .

ful method' for getting "traffic across this
groat body of water They all 'agreed that
It ought to be dime, but how to do it hns
been the problem. Wherr Mr. Harrlman
made known this scheme (which he does
claim "to have originated) such men as
James R. Keene said It was silly, and even
after Harrlman had his plans far on the
way of execution- Keene declared it would
be -a colossal failure. Senator J. B. For
aker Of Ohio,- In his great argument before
Judge Lurton of the United States court
In that memorable controversy between
Keene and Harrlman. grew almost dram
atic in his eloquent denunciation of the
folly, futility and utter Insanity of the
proposition.
"It Is costing many, more millions than
Is estimated and will have to ho aban
doned," declared Senator Foraker.
Not Illamayed by Dlaaater.
Last April when a huge locomotive
dragged itself, a score or more of cars,
section after section of embankment, and
some human beings Into the unfathomable
depths of two' gigantic quagmire.' those
who had counselled against the building of
the cut-oft became all the more apprehens
ive, but the advocates of the scheme still
felt secure in their faith of Its ultimate
success.
This scheme was not original with Mr.
Harrlman. Indeed; before hs assumed con
trol of the system. Chief Engineer Hood
Of the Southern' Pacific wanted to straddle
the great lake with such a line. Mr. Har
riman's first Idea, .when he took command
was to skirt around the southern end of
the lake. He thought it would ba best to
run a cut-off from the Union Pacific at
Evanaton, Wyo., to Salt Lake and make
that city the terminus. But this plan was
combatted by Hood, who finally won Gen
eral Manager Kruttschnltt to his way of
thinking and at last, after he gave his
careful study to it. Mr. Harrlman, cordl
ally embraced las scheme.
Chief Engineer J. B. Berry, of the Union
Pacific was onti of the men who opposed
the cut-off scheme at first, foaring that It
could never become a salutary construction.
and then would cost an outlandish sum of
money. He did- not at all deny the possi
bility of the cut-off, on the . contrary, he
thought It might be possible, but hs main
tained that the route around the lower
end Of the lake would be the better from U
standpoints. One of Ua objections and
fears waa that the violent storms which
sweep the northern part of the lake would
whlPvthe waves up against the trestle
work witn sucn irresis luie iurce as to
destroy the atrongest treatle that could be
built. This debate and dispute between the
engineers and officials continued at some
length, but Hood and Kruttschnltt finally
won their point and took Mr. Harrlman In
as their first convert.
What Kerleace Taoajbt.
Experience proved that Mr. Berry and his
followers had aome pretty good cauee for
their auureheualons and their scheme, but
Still It looks as If the other advocstes had
little tangible grounds on wnicn 10 sianu.
As soon aa the workmen stsrted In they
began to encounter difficulty. The poor old
pile driver can testify to this. It would
strike areas where, apparently, the bottom
waa solid and secure. Then the first thing
anyone knew the pile would go clear
through, the salt and sand bottom not be
ing as firm as was supposed. When water
was reached the temporary track was
shoved along by means of sand bags, which
were loaded on rafts and poled out to the
desired place. Then they were plied In
tiers and over them were placed timber
stiingers on which the track was laid..
During the construction of thla strange,
wonderful thing, for the convenience of the
Workmen, a boarding house was erected
six miles out on the lake and It could be
reached only "by boat. Several hundred
laborers with the supervising officials dwelt
on this Improvised Island.

The "-perches, while flavored by the usual

There wss a numler of notable guests at
the banquet, Including the duke of Marlbor

and several members of the House of Com
mons. The duke of Marlborough proposed a
toast to President Roosevelt and addressing
himself to the Interests 'which England
and the United States have In common
referred In terms of the IWghest praise to
President Roosevelt and spoke feelingly of
the late Sir Michael Herbert.
Ambassador Choate, responding to the
toaat to his health, which was proposed In
complimentary terms by Lord Davey, took
up the duke of Marlborough's reference
to the mutual sympathies of the American
anl British peoples and said that there had
been reason heretofore to suspect some such
settlement on the part of, the duke since
he had set an example hi one form of the
Anglo-American alliance In which the peo
ple of both countries were able t5 look with
entire satisfaction.
Turning to Mr. Bryan, Mr. Choate said
It was the custom of Americans torn from
their iibtlve shores to gather together an
nually and return thanks. The American
society In London had now among them an-
lother of these exles, for whom personally
ne, as ambassador, had been doing the best

of England, where he waa able to study the
fiscal question In Its native lair. The
company would be edified, said Mr. Choate,
had they heard Mr. Bryan cross-examining
tha governor of the Bank of England. The
ambassador said he had aided Mr. Bryan
to hear Mr. Asqulth, Mr. Chamberlain, Lord
Goschcn and Lord -Rosebery, all within
forty-eight hours, so If his views on the
fiscal question were not utterly mixed they
would appreciate at least the quality of
the man they had before them.
The speech of the ambassador was fol
lowed by an ovation to Mr. Bryan which
lastey for several minutes.
Mr. Bryan, In responding, paid a graceful
tribute to the English guests of the society.
le said the highest compliment he was
able to pay was that In looking over the
tables he was unable to distinguish the
English from the American women present.
He thanked the British nation for the
kindly forbearance H had shown In. receiv
ing filhi 'the protectionists for letting him
land at all, and the gold bugs for not
having deportef) him Immediately after his
arrival." Mr. Bryan said he had profited
exceedingly by his visit to the bank of
England.
He wanted to call attention, however, to
the fact that the murderous attack by an
Insane man with a revolver on Mr. Ken
neth Orahame, the secretary of the bank
orctyred the day I efore he called.
Touching the theme of Thanksgiving day
Mr. Bryan spoke eloquently of the natural
resources and advantages of the United
States for which the people of the United
States must return thanks, and the ideals
of liberty and progress for which they
thank their English progenitors. He urged
the necessity of the nation bequeathing to
liberty some gift commensurate with the
gifts they hnd received from their ances
tors, and suggested that they bequeath the
Ideal of International amity, of which The
Hague arbitration tribunal was a lasting
monument.
"Hall to the nation," concluded Mr.
Bryan, "whatever name, who leads the
world towards this high Ideal for the last
ing good of all humanity.
