RAILROADING IN THE ROCKIES
wild and wooIly Circumstance of a
Down-Grade Run.

n Wild and Woolly Circumstance OF
Down-Grsde Run
From the Post-Express.
Can you tell me where the Caboose
| committee meets?" asked a well-dress-
| ed, good-looking man. The stranger
had the appearance of being from the
West
Yes. sir, / am from the West. Just
arrived on the Atlantic. I am a rail-
road man and I heard when the train
stopped at Buffalo for a few minutes
that the Caboose Committee was going
to have a meeting this evening in this
city. / am dead interested in railroad
business and like to meet all the boys
who work on the road. There isn't
any more lively business In the world.
Speaking of wild rides, why the fell
lows here amt in IL, that's all. l re-
member one night that we broke in two
six or seven times while coming down
Laramie hill in the Rockies. We didn't
stop to couple up, as they do here. but
coupled the train together again while
IL was running down a hill at a speed
of As miles an hour. OF course, this is
a trife risky for a beginner, but we
soon get used to 1t, and familiarity with
danger insures contempt. Once in a
while one of the boys falls under the
wheels. But IL is instant death, and he
really doesn't know what hit him.
"All the cars are provided with air.
yet we were compelled to sit on deck
and watch out for accidents. One bitter
cold night, when the mercury was down
to about 40 below zero, we started
down Larimie hill with a long string of
loaded cars for Cheyenne. l was seated
on top of a car about ten lengths ahead
of the caboose. The brakes were set
pretty tight and fire was flying from
the wheels quite lively. Suddenly the
heavy train shot around a curve and
a sight met my eyes that 1 shall never
forget. Every wheel on the train was
red-hot, so were the rails, while the
sleepers were blazing, having been ig-
nited by the intense heat of the rails.
When we pulled into Cheyenne every
wheel on the train was flat-that is. d
fiat piece had been worn away during
the slide down the mountain. That is
what 1 wanted to tell the boys in the
Caboose committee. They may know
something about giving Chauncey De-
pew pointers on how to run the Central,
but when you run over two streaks of
but after all they haven't much of an
idea of railroading. It's no trick at all
to run a fast train over such a road as
the Central, but when you run over two
streaks of rust and the right-of-way, as
have done on some Western lines,
then you can get a fair idea of rail-
reading"
The reporter slipped quietly away,
leaving the garrulous Westerner still
talking. He had talked himself to sleep
but his mouth continued to work. At
late hour to-day he had not succeeded
in finding any of the Caboose commit

ton will hold another meeting until

Tn. Deal Fell Throlgh.

A more or less distinguished young
foreigner placed an advertisement in
the personal column of a morning
newspaper a few days ago, requesting
information as to the whereabouts of
his father, who had left his family in
Europe years ago, and had been heard
from last in San Francisco.
A certain private detective with an
eye TO business noticed the advertise
ment, and in due course of time an
agent connected with his bureau call
ed upon the more or less distinguished
young foreigner and informed him that
should he call at the office he could
make arrangements to have his father
found.

the head of the bureau, to whom he
gave full particulars ABOUT his missing
parent, he was informed that his
father could undoubtedly be found
and that the charges would be s25 as a

pleted.
''Mein Gottl" he exclaimed. "Das is

ExTRAVAoANCE IN SENATE.
The Most Expensive Legislative Body In
the World.

Senator Chandler has been investigating
the senate's extrayagances. says the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat. The results of his
researches more than justify all that has
been said in the newspapers on the sub
ject. The senator finds that the roll of
employees of the senate has been growing
until il has now reached the startling
number of S53 Among these are l2l
clerks, 81 messengers. 80 laborers. % pages,
Is folders. 10 policemen, I mail carriers. s
watchmen and so on. The senate en-
ployes draw S4S2, 600 annually. The striking
feature is the rapid increase in the num-
Der Of persons required to make official
life comfortable for the 90 senators. The
pay roll was s3l7, s31 in 1857. 1t has been
increased $4,000 in nine years.
The salaries and mileage of the 90 sena-
tors is $4,000 annually. So IL appears
that the cost of the help is a little more
than the cost of the senator's. Besides
the enormous salary account of the en-
ployes, the senators manage TO get ava
with $l75,000 year for various incidentals
or for contingent expenses" as the re-
port has IL. Nine years ago the senate
spent Siil. 232 for employees and on contn-
gent account. In 1894 these expenses
reached 1888. lS9. Last year the senate had
a spasm of economy, and got away with
only sGis. POI. besides salaries and mileage.
These figures, compiled by Senator
Chandler show there are abuot four en-
ployes TO every senator.

GAMES WILL BE ARRANGED
WIelders of the Webbed Stick Talk
ing of Organizing a Team-The
Wheelmen Preparing for
the Summer.

The many friends OF lacrosse, the
Canadian national game, have decided
to organize a team in Anaconda. The
/ material is said to be of the highest
grade and with players who have been
4 associated with some of the bet teams
on the other side of the boundary. it
is believed that a nucleus will be Of
fered for the formation of a team as
/ good as can be organized in the North
| west.
Butte and Missoula had very good
| teams n few years ago and the Ana
| conda boys enjoyed many a friendly
| game with them. The local enthuSi-
asts hope to rivive the interest in the
neighboring cities as well as at home
and to have great sport during the
summer.
Lacrosse is an Indian game. wild and
exciting, and though It has undergone
some changes at the hands of the Ca
nadians, still retains the exciting fea
lures. 1t requires quick movements,
agility. the ability to sprint and
careful eye to make a good player. The
exercise is of the sort that calls into
action all the muscles OF the body and
IL is said to put the players into the
state which pugilists style the pink of
condition.
Anaconda friends of the game are
confident that they can place a strong
team in the field. and IL sufficient en-
couragemem is offered will. after a
few games in Montana, be willing to
try conclusions with the Multnomahs
of Portland, who are organizing this
year. The game has made furore ON
the coast, where Victoria, VancouV yer,
Portland and Seattle teams met last
season.
An enthusiastic meeting of the BIZ
cycle club was held yesterday after
noon in Foskett's hall. There are now
40 names on the roll of membership
and the success of the club seems to
be assured. Constitution and bylaws
of some length and very complete were
adopted. Meetings of the club will be
held twice a month and club runs
weekly during the season.
A committee was appointed to Sc
cure permanent headquarters in some
convenient locality as soon as possible.
The intention is to have quarters for
the storing of wheels, a repair bench
and other conveniences, IL possible. A
reading room is also to be kept where
the papers pertaining to wheeling will
be kept on file.
The club decided not to join the
League of American Wheelmen, but
recommended IL as a good plan for
members to attach themselves thereto
as individuals.
No uniform was adopted. but the
matter of unfforming in suits or caps
was referred to a committee with in
structions for an early report.
