Acirdliig to the Deseret News of
Salt Lake, the Short Line is getting
anxious about the threatened invasion
of Its territory by the Chicago &
Northwestern, and Is arranging for
rushing to completion of Its Yellow
stone purk branch from St. Anthony.
The News says that the Northwestern
Is headed for Salt Lake with a branch
line running down Cache canyon, but
that the main line will run to llolse
and on to the coast. The News quotes
from a letter received from a man In
St. Anthony, who Is said by the News
to be an unimpeachable nuthorlty on
railroad matters. The letter says In
part:
Right or Way Secured.
Right of way has been secured to
the Idaho line. Large tracts of coal
lands huve been bought up in the
Jackson Hole country und liuul west
of the Teton mountains is being secur
ed by the agents of this road; this was
nil looked upon as certain Indications
of the Snake river valley obtaining a
trunk line', but now come the assur
ances that these long-hoped-for Im
provements will materialise. The ac
tivity of the Rio Grande at Ogden In
Increasing Its depot area and Improve
ments had a significance that has not
been hitherto fully understood.
The news la that the Chicago &
Northwestern will extend through the
Jackson Hole country, coming through
St. Anthony vln Marysvllle and contin
uing Its main line southwest, touching
the towns of Sugar City, Rexburg.
Rlghy and most probably passing
somewhat to the east of Idaho Falls,
thus taking In the. large villages in
that direction and opening up a new-
portion of the Snake river valley. The
main object in doing this, however. Is
to make a more direct and quicker
route to Ogden and Salt Lake City.
Into Cache Valley.
From here the road's plans are to
take a little west of south course.
touching Blarkfoot and many of the
large hamlets east of the Short Line
track. From Pocatello the course lies
a little east of the Short Line route,
thus throwing it into Cache calley
without any preceptible Increase of
distance, un was the case with the
Short Line In former years.
From Preston the road Intends par
alleling the Short Line branch to Lo
gan. Logan and Cache valley will bo
given special attention. From Logan
there are a number of routes planned
and under advisement, but the one
looked upon as the most feasible at
present is from Logan to Wellsville
and through Wellsville and Brlgham
canyons and from Brlgham City a lit
tle to the east of the Short Line, touch
ing the towns of Wlllard, Hot Springs
View.' North Ogden and then Into Og
den. where connection will be made
with the Rio Orande'and other roads.

Varloan Kinds of Apples.
"Pineapple" and "love tipple" (to:nii
to) are Instances of the iminncr la
which the apple has been habitually
tnken as the typical fruit, the mime of
which is naturally bbrrowed In cliri
tening nil sorts of fruit and vegetable.
that only remotely resemble It. Dr.
Murray's dictionary gives an imposing
list of them Jew's apple, devil's ap
ple, kangaroo apple, und so on. A
writer of the seventeenth century
speaks of "the fruit or apples of palm
trees," unit it fourteenth century man
says that "all ttianei-o nples that hen
closyd In nn harde skynne. rytide. othet
shale, ben enllyd Nines" intitsi. In
the year lOOo, apparently, "earth ap
ples" meant not potatoes, but cucum
bers. Anil even Eve's "apple" Is he
lieved to have been a citron.
I'omponnd Interest.
A bunker was urging a .voting man
to put his inouey lu a siiviui; figid,
where he would gut compound Interest
on It, and lu the course of his argu
ment he used a telling fact.
"One cent," said he, "put out at coin
pound interest at the beglunim: of the
C'hriMtiun era would amount to - How
much do you suppose?"
"Oh," said the ymuig num. "r. hun
dred dollars or so."
"Today," said the hanker, "it would
amount to over fM.iioo. And sit sim
ple interest wbnt do you think il would
total up?"
"About half that?"
"At simple interest It would reach
only $1.15."
Waters at the Enuntor.
The plentiful marine growths, both
animal and vegetable, of the warm
waters near the equutor attach them
selves to a ship's bottom lu the course
of a few weeks, and the ship loses both
speed and dlrlglblllty. When a British
ship on the West India station was
broken up a few yeurs ago more thuu
eighty tons of barnacles were removed
from her bottom, while nn American,
fruiter of only 800 tons register had
thirty cart loads of barnacles scraped
from her bottom after n stay of but
eight months in the wnrm latitudes.
