A swimming contest for men and bows

ing. Capt. Beach, the man fish, will also

The sundowners enjoyed q very pleasant
dlnner at The Helena last evening. An ex-
cel!ent menu was especially prepared by the
management, and the service was all that
could be desired.
n. Brett, formerly with the Broadwater,
ana recently with the Hotel May at Boul-
der, has leased the Alhambra Hot Springs
motel. The opening will take place on FRI
day evening with a grand ball. Peterman's
orchestra Will furnish the music.

Lake and Rail Rates.

Although the representatives of the lake
rail lines have once moro formed the
resolve that they will restore west bound
rates from tho seaborn to st. Paul to the
basis agreed upon shortly before the OPEN
ing OF navigation and maintain them there
strictly till the close of the season. the all
rail men place very little reliance in their
asseverations. They don't expect to see
rates advanced, or if any show of advanc-
ing them is made they do not expect to see
them maintained for any length of time,
since their preliminary meeting prior to the
opening of navigation the lake and rail
men have done little but meet and agree TO
restore and maintain rates. Several meetings
each month have been held by them and
vet nothing has ever come of their confer
encss or their resolutions. In no former
year have lake and rail rates been more
thoroughly demoralized than in the present
one. The all-rait men have, therefore,, come
to the conclusion that the last meeting will
nave the same result as the many that hive
preceded 1T. The conclusion has beer
reached by them that lake and Iail rates
of navigation. o

Gould and the Rock Island.

Considerable curiosity is manifested in
railroad circles generally to kno how Jay
Gould will take his defeat in the Omaha
bridge case. Everybody seems to have ar
rived at one common conclusion in the mat
ter, and that is that he will have his re-
venge in some wav on the Rock Island and
the Milwaukee g. St. Paul roads for oppos-
ing his will in the matter and forcing him to
abide by the contract into which the Union
Pacific solemnly entered if it takes him the
remainder OF his natural life to get it. He
may bide his time, but he will get even
some day. The question that is just now
uppermost IN the minds of railroad men is
what effect his defeat will have on the at
fairs of the Western Traffic association.
1t will be remembered that Gould first re-
pudlated the contract shortly before the
agreement of that association had been
perfected and while it was vet under dis
cussion. When his reputation of the con-
tract was announced President Roswell
Miller, of the Milwaukee & st, Paul. and
President r. r. Cable, of the Rock Islano,
both let fall remarks which indicated that
they were not very strongly disposed to 90
into any further compacts with a man who
seemed to regard the binding character of a
contract 50 lightly, and it appeared for a
time rs II Gould's action would prevent the
contamination of the presidents agree
ment. BY the time these gentlemen reached
New York. however. and before the meeting
OF presidents took place, they had arrived
at the conclusion that it would be better 20
light the contract matter out in the courts
and not allow it to interfere with the prom
Used settlement OF western railroad affairs
generally, which were then in a very unset
tied and unsatisfactory condition.
Now it Is asked will not the parties
change sides and Gould be the one to oct
BACK at the W antaeonizing roads in some
way through the Western Traffic associa-
ton. That association is generally under
stood to be Gould's own creature. Il is
also understood that he created it for some
purpose of his own, and when that purpose
Is served, or ii appears conclusively that Il
mas ceased to promote the furtherance of
his purpose, he will demo!ish it swiftly and
without the. slightest reluctance. Will he
90 so to punish these two roa s for defeat
ing him in the courts? 1t would cause no
surprise to q good many people if the vic
tory OF the Rock Island and the Milwaukee
d St: Paul In this matter would be the sig
nal Tor the inauguration of another western
freight rate war.

Whatever loss the Northern Pacific may
have suffered during the spring and sum.
n.er from floods, are insignificant compared
with the gains that will come from the
movement of the nor grain crops and
wool and beef shipments. The wheat acre
age tributary to the Northern Pacific is 10
per cent larger than last year, and the crops
in Dakota will be unprecedented. In Mon
tana many tons more of wool will be shipped
this year than last. while the cattle ship
ments will also be larger. This mining
country tributary to the same line in Mon
tana. Idaho and Washington is more pros
porous this year than ever before and in
consequence will furnish so per cent. more
traffic, both in the shape of bullion and ote
shipped out and supplies brought in. In
Washington the grain and fruit yield are
each immense. and this state and
Oregon will also give a largely in
creased business. Notwithstanding these
facts, the bears in the New York stock mar
ket are making determined raids on the
preferred stock of the road. The charge
has been made, and is still reported, that
the German friends OF Mr.. Willard have dis
posed of their holdings. This has been
denied time and again, SO now the wreckers
declare that Mr.. Willard, too, has sold his
Northern Pacific securities. The charge is
also made that the business of the road has
fallen of largely in the past few months.
The bears realize that when the minus re-
port is issued in a few months their last
chance to hammer the stock will be gone
and they are, in consequence, doing every
thing to affect it unfavorably now.
The same tactics are being used against
Union Pacific, but with not quite as much
success, for the reason that Gould and Dill
Ion are in the way, and protect their hold
ings. With the Northern Pacific there is a
better chance to do something, as Mr.. Pratt,
formerly one of its stanchest supporters, is
dead, the Rockafellers are sick, Mr.. Colby
is away, and Willard is devoting a large part
of his attention to the North American

MILLIONS SAVED.

The Sub-Treasury Plan Would Save Mil.
lions to the Farmers.
A Kansas paper says: THE sub-treas'
ury scheme is the most foolish, absurd
and nonsensical proposition ever en-
tered by the people. of course it will
never materialize, for the more intelli-
gent class see the sweeping breadth of
it. 1t tends to Capitalization and con-
sequently TO wipe out state lines"
That is a great big mistake. We
have Capitalization now in its worst
form. The great centers like New
York and Liverpool centralize the cot
ton crop. In other words, the crop is
warehoused there The grain centers
like Chicago, Cincinnati. St. Louis and
other points control the surplus grain,
it being stored there to await con-
sumption. Under the sub-treasury
system we would have many ware
houses scattered over each state. For
instance, cotton raised in Wake county
would be storeu .h Raleigh instead of
New York or Liverpool Surplus grain
raised in Buncombe county would be
stored at Asheville instead of going TO
Chicago or elsewhere Millions of dol
lars would thus be saved on freight
and commissions The system is ex.
actlv the reverse of Capitalization -
