1t seems now that the Mckinley
Bill has rails ID the price of eggs and
some syndicate has formed a trust
on them and cornered the market.
You can hardly get them here for
love or money and we are very
much afraid we wont get enough
to make our egg nog for Christmas.
We have the "nog" ordered and if
some one will bring MS in some
newly born eggs we will yet be able
to imbibe the holiday spirit, We
hope the Amcican hen is satisfied
now. With the cent tariff on
eggs she will not have to compete
with the pauper Labor of the old
country hen. Eggs are already up
to 20 cents per dozen Of twelve eggs
and prospect of being so.

Tweutv-.wo Miles Of Track Washed
out.

DENVER July 25.-The wsshout on
the Colorado Central is the most disas-
TRIMS tba. has occurred since the road
was built. The loss is approximsted at
$3.50 900. The amount OF track washed
ont covers altogether distance OF twenty
two miIes-four miles from the forks
of the creek to Smith Hill, and fifteen
miles from Golden TO Floyd Hill. The
iron bridge at the forks of the creek
looks like q bundle of wire, it has been
go tangled up. 1t is impossible for
railroad men to estimate the damage
done to the road, but they admit that it
must be very large, as the road up
through there is very costly piece Of
railroad construction. Two work trains
and hundred men have been working
on the road since Tuesday noon.

han ding the -four gold was success and
dividends from the venture were as regular
as rising of the sun. Wherever the boat
was anchored and the machinery put in mo-
ton the deceptive -four gold that had eluded
so many former attempts at capture, found
itself at last in the ''strong boxn safely
slowed away in the hold of the staunch
little craft. So far the sailing was good,
but breakers were ahead; the short strip
OF river between the two bridges was soon
worked out and the boat on account of the
low bridges was unable to go either up or
down in search of new gravel beds to con-
quer. But Captain Williams wits did not
desert him in the emergency, for one fine
morning he raised anchor from his fair
Oregon shores, turned the Prov of the
Gold Seeker up the current, and when near
the railroad bridge near @. w. PauPs,
gave three long whistles for .'draw bridge"
He was not at all surprised when the bridge
did not draw" but coolly turned into the
bank. dropped anchor, ana waited for the
railroad company to ''call' him. In the
meantime the company made an investiga-
ton and found that 1t would cost 5000, 0U0 to
put in the draws and came to the conclusion
that the Snake was not naVigable river
and that their charter did not recognize it
as such. This was pretty good bluff, but
Captain Williams did not finch: he steamed
up the next morning, boldly headed up the
river and again whistled for "draw bridge"
This course he has pursued ever since In
the meantime he has commenced suit
against the company for damages and has
engaged the leading attorney of Oregon to
manage his case. The outcome of the case
will be awaited with considerable interest
by the people of western Idaho and eastern
Oregon

An Abandoned Line.

abandoned line of the old Colorado Central
between Fort Collins and Cheyenne for a
long time TO come. Several months ago
Superintendent Choate said in an interview
that the line would be reopened eventually.
but Nothing has been done and that state
ment was made several months ago. On
the contrary, the old rails have all been
taken up aud shipped away, leaving a
crumbling grade and line of rotten ties
stretching along the foothills between

merchant OF Fort Collins said to Nc1Cs re-
porter yesterday:
"The Union Pacific company has just
completed the removal of the last Of the

We are reliably informed that novel
and interesting contest between the Union
Pacific railroad on enc side, and Williams
Bros, of Nyssa, on the other, has been
disturbing the placid waters of the
mighty Snake river for some time, says
the Caldwell Tribune, and viii be likely TO
continue until the Union Pacifcs supreme
court pours its never failing balm upon the
troubled waters. The trouble is nothing
more or less than a suit against the rail
road company by Williams Bros, citing
them why draws should not be put in rail

last two years Williams Bros. built large
steam mining boat at Nyssa, point on the
Short Line, between two of the bridges,

Another Union Pacific Resignation.

One by one are the old attaches OF the
Union Pacific in this city handing in their
designations. Following closely upon the
heels of the designations of Agent Morris,
Wolstenholme and Ritter, comes the announ-
cement that Train Master Morris, of the
Utah division, had handed in his resigna-
ton, which is to take effect July l. IL is
understood that Mr.. Morris has accepted a
position with the Consolidated Implement
company of this city.
So far no successors to either of the
above have been appointed. 1t is given out
at Union Pacific headquarters here that all
the designations were voluntary, and this
is no doubt the case.

The mter-State-State Commerce Law Again
In Chicago, recently, District Attorney
Ewing applied to Judge B!odgett in the
federal court for writ to bring the
Michigan Central Railroad company into
court to ascertain who is responsible for
an infringement of one Of the provisions OF
the inter state commerce law. The recent
federal grand jury returned an indictment
against the railroad company and Alex
Alackey, Frederick c. Mitchell, Wilson P.
Driswold, Arthur w. Street and E. l..
Corners, freight agents and employees of
the road, for discrimination in the matter
of gram freights. The interstate com
merce law provides that no railroad shall
carry freight for less price than other
railroads unless it gives notice of the
cut in rates, so that its competitors can
be able TO meet it. The Michigan Cen.
tral contracted with the other lines
TO charge q rate of 20 cents per 100
pounds for grain from Chicago to New
York, and it is charged that while that
rate was in effect, and secretly, and with
out notice to its competitors, the Michigan
Central on November 10 last, carried go. 900
pounds of oats and &c, 900 pounds of corn for
Charles Counselman 81 Co. from Chicago
TO the seaboard for 49, cents per hundred
Such discrimination is directly in violation
TO the Interstate commerce act, as it was
claimed, and an indictment followed The
railroad, by its attorney, appearedin court
and raised the point That whatever viola
tion of the law there might be the railroad
company knew nothing about it, and it
could not DE punished criminally.
IL admitted that in civil case perhaps a
railroad might be liable for the actions of
its servants, but it was commended that the
principle did not extend as far as a crimi
nal case, where there was liable to be a fine.
The districtattorney said he was entitled
to interrogate The officers Of the railroad
under oath and cross examination as TO
their knowledge OF the violation of the lew.
and to that end argued for the issue of the
writ.
The court took the application under ad-
Yisement.

How it is Viewed in Omaha.

An Omaha dispatch says: 1.-The shock
that ran through Union Pacific ranks when
Mr.. Dickinson was asked to step down
and out has been renewed and according tc
information from the inside circle It has
been renewed with a vengeance. Mr..
Mellen is to be succeeded by Mr.. Munroe
and Mr.. Tebbetts will be assistant general
traffic manager.
The handwriting on the wall, it is as
serted, suddenly blazes forth in the office
of no less a person than Third Vice-Presi
dent Kimball, and that the place which
now knows him so well will in a few weeks
or days know him no more forever, so far
as the present official position is con
cerned. A short time ago prominent
gentleman residing outsof the city sent
Mr. k1mbal a request for a pass The
letter received no attention, not even
an answer, although such request had
previously been answered with both
promptneSS and pleasure. The gentleman
who made the request was in this city
recently and asked Mr.. Kimball if he had
received a request from him for a pass.
Mr.. kimbal answered that he had, but
that all power to do anything more of the
kind for his friends had been taken out of
his hands, much as he regretted the morti-
ncaJlon winch the announcement occa-
stoned him.
The gentleman then asked MIR. Kimball
why he did not at least answer his letter.
To this Mr.. kimball acknowledged or re-
vealed another fact that went very much
against his grain. 1t was that he had
found himself under astonishingly close
surveillance, and was actually afraid even
10 answer the letter.
President Adams and Vice-President
Holcomb finished their tour of the Union
Pacific system and returned to Omaha this
morning. When questioned regarding ru
mors Of more changes to be made in the of
fetal staff, MIR. Adams declared that be
knew of none. Mr.. Dickinson's resignation
be continued, is the last, and if there.are
others TO follow it is something he knew
nothing about.
If an official circular has not been ISSUED
appointing j. o. Brinkerhoff to succeed
Dickinson, it will be in few days.

In RAILWAY CIRCLES.
No Further Cut in the Wool
Rates is Looked For.
TRAIN MASTER MORRIS RESIGNS.
a Question For the Interstate Com
mission-Personal.

All is quiet in railway circles, so far as
wool rates are concerned, and so far there
appears to be no reason why further cut
should be contemplated-at least not for
several days to come. The general agents
who were seen yesterday seem to be of the
opinion that the present rates are low
enough.
