. CHARLOTTE DAILY OBSERVER, JANUARYS 1906 If ' ' r. 1 i y it : "v a xiursirn Dream of Great Salt lake nl iJit 1J fintiir 'MacanliipJ' r - ! When the Ant survey of the Union . Tacfi: Railroad fame out of the mouth : of Weber Canyon, a little southeast of j - the present city of Ogden. it found the Great Salt Lake lying across the Cen trl raoino. Even at, that early-dafe .' some Idea of , the possibilities of the i ' la.terlay , triumph ' of." railroad con , struction seems taimve occurred to the i: engineers of the "survey; for they dis '. .'cussed a little,.? thtnixh perhaps more Jocularly thaoKserlouBly, the feasibility ''f driving straight across the lake or " at least across its -eastern arm. -Of ' course they, gave it up.. he Idea then was ! alnjOst t chimerical.'- There. was "eltherhe genlus.'Ja finance . hold enough? to undertake such a stupendous j ' work.' jbojt, the traffic to, warrant such f .'van expenditure; it may be doubted, too, . If there-was engineering faith equal to the task. So the line was built through the, hills around the north end of the A Jake - WiA' - But that light talk of the early sixties j was not -without ' it fruUs.The idee, remained the dream,- the hope, --the Sj faith, of one of the young; men employ - d in building the, Central Pacific. iWll- Ham " Hood -.was vof ,tha4; company, ot '''across the . isthmus" - pioneers - who y have .made thels jnark and. their vfame in the development- of - California and the. Pacific slope. As he worked his way up to the responsible post of chief ', engineer of . the Southern' Pacific sys ,? tern, k owner of the. old Central Pacific; , ': he never Jost sight K posslbllityof that-line across Salt Lake. Coins P. , Huntington, the master of, the Pacific railroads, was inclined to think that it night be done, but the time was not vo yet ripe, the traffic was not heavy - . enough to justify the expense, and such x enterprises were pot easy to i finance , But after Mr. Huntington's death there came to the bead of Southern Pacific t taffalrs a man whose financial ability " and boldness, matched the engineering . skill and pluck of Mr. Hood.. In ,Ed ward H. Hsrriman Mr. Hood found a man who sympathized with and bellev- . cd- in his plans, and. who was able .and willing to provide the money. .:, : JJThe times had changed. The1 flay of . great and oid enterprises had come. The, old era of pinching and often " tise ecoiiomy that let .roadbed, and yoUlng stock; run down in order to equeexe out an unjustified dividend -was .ended. The condition had been ; reached- where it was only necessary for the engineer to show how the In terest on the investment could be made to be told to go ahead. Traffic hiad in- creased to such a point that Operations over the steep and crooked old line was becoming constantly more and more vexatious and difficult. Relief must be had. Financier agreed with: engineer ; as to how it could be obtained, and the result is the t'Lucin Cutoff," as it U - called, the line that runs from Ogden straight over Great Salt Lake, which It crosses on a trestle nearly 12 miles long and on 10 miles of fill," and over the desert flats, 103 miles in all. to Luctn, wfiere it rejoins the old road. It Is a . ''cutoff' indeed. Forty-three miles in distance are lopped off, heart-breaking Srades avoided, curves eliminated, onrs of time in transit saved, and un told worry and vexation prevented, at : the same time that expenses of opera tion are reduced mora, than, enough to fiaf Interest on the whole cost tlwc over..

The occasional twinges us u uunn um m su, uuiuijj uin pains, ue muoctcs Become inuamea ana swouen, me serves get sore and excited, the bones ache,' and Rheumatism, the terror of winter, takes posses sion of the system. Then the sufferer turns to the liniment bottle, the woolen clothes, the favorite plaster or some home remedy, in an effort to get relief. But Rheumatism is not a trouble that can be rubbed away or drawn out with a plaster; these things relieve the pain and reduce the inflammation, bnt do cot reach the real cause of the trouble, and at the next exposure an other attack comes on. Rheumatism is caused by a sour, acid condition of the blood. The refuse matter and bodily impurities which should be carried off through the channels of nature have been left in the system because of indigestion, weak Kidneys, torpid Wver and a general sluggish, condition of the system. These impurities sour and form uric acid, which is absorbed by the blood and distributed to the different muscles, joints, nerves and bones, causing the painful symptoms of Rheumatism. 8. S.
