The Inver, Xorthweatern & PuHnV, commonly known aa the "Moffat Line," after David H. Moffat, a Denver' banker and Ha builder, crowed the onllnontul divide In 1904 and thereby av th lie to eupltiiltata ami railroad men who "aid that the road would never accom plish this feat, and to englneera who declared the routs surveyed waa Im poaalhl for a railroad. The di-Ht I na tion of the line la Halt Lake, and It traverae u nearly n possible an air line from Denver, penetrating the wild, of Colorado and oKnlng a coun try tremendously rich In coal and mln erala and agricultural poMMlhllltle. The road waa completed to Arrow head, It mllea from Denver, on October I, 104, and In the virgin forest the town of tenta and log citblna waa atart ed. The completion of the road to (hla point marked the croaalng of the Continental divide and the accompllHh ment of one of the moat daring blta of railroad engineering In the hlatory of railroading. It alao marked the com pletion of the moat difficult part of the conatructlon of the Denver-Salt Lake road. Orman A Crook, the railroad con tractor., the Senior member being the former governor of Colorado, Jamea R Orman, are now punning the line on from Arrowhead to Hot Sulphur Spring. St mllea.

Obstacles have been aurmounted In the conatructlon of the Moffat road to Arrowhead , that were considered In- aurmountable. rVenliiilty, It Is the niiiat wonderful standard gauge road In the world. It has gone over the mountains and not around them. NATIONAL ELF.CTION DAY Why Ifa (i.e Tar.ilar After the I'lrsl 4lMiIar In Nixrwbrr, Why slioiilif the law preserll "the Tuesday mxt after the first Moudny In Xovemlwr" inatead of saving "the nrst luesdayr Like many other small things tltla provision Introduce an In tereatlujf picture W the past. ; AlthotigB the constitution require me electors in all the state, to meet and choose a president on the same day, It was not until 1845 that a law waa passed by congress providing (bat the elector, should be chosen on the same day throughout the United Mate. When William Henry Harrison waa the Whig candidate, In lMO, New York began to rot. on the first Monday 111 ovemler, and the poll, were kept 0en until Wednesduy night Election day In MaHsnchusctta was the second Monday, but before that day, In this Uiataiiie, enough states had voted to de ride the contest. The National Intelli gencer of that year records that several thousand aged and infirm Whig In Maaaai liuxetls did not bother to go to the polls. iMdaware voted a day later than Massachusetts. Illinois. Indiana and fennxjlvanlii were iintong the early vol lug slates. Alabama waa one of the last. This diversity, combined wltb alow metlKsls of transmitting news, left the election reaults In doubt for many days. The system w as not satisfactory. The atates that voted early had an undue Influence on the result. Especially was this true as communication became more rapid, and by 1K40 an enthusiastic editor told how the news from Pitts burg bud been brought to New York In thirty-rive hours. "This," he added alKiillicontlj, "Is a sign of the times." j Congress accordingly decided to ea-j tabllsh a uniform day. The original Mil named the first Tuesday In No vember, tiut It was found necessary to harmonize this with the requirement that not more than thirty day should elapse before the meeting of the elect oral colleges In the different states, which lind Wn set for the first Wednesday In December. When Tues day Is the first day of November, De cemlier will have no Wednesday till the seventh. The Interval la thirty- seven days, t'nder the law aa It was passed In 1HI.1 uot more than twenty- nine days enn elapse between election day and the first Wednesday In De cember, t'nder the law of 1887 the electors do not meet to give their vote, until the second Monday In January.
