Col. Henry's Aspirations.
(From the Globe-Democrat.)


Nowadays, United States army
life is a game of checkers, and New
York and Washington make up the
king row. said j. S. Barnard, of New
York, at the planters. Every army
officer tries to make jump to get to
Washington or New York, where he
can impress the effete elite of society
with his gold braid and blue uniform.
If he can't land in the king row at one
jump he tries to make it by a series of
jumps. And all these Jumps are made
generally by the assistance of power
full political friends. That's what
Lieut. Col. Guy V. Henry is doing
trying to jump to the king row. He
was stationed at Washington once, but
was compelled to move out, and was
finally peuned up down in Texas some
where, believe. And, mark you, be-
ing petted in Washington society was
to the Colonel's liking, | am told. By
political pull he was enabled to be-
gin making jumps back toward the
king row again. He jumped from
Texas to St. Louis. hear that he dis
covered a malaria germ on a rifle
range, and them jumped from st. Louis
to Fort Ethan Allen, in Vermont. And
| now have it from good authority
that Col. Henry will land at Washing
ton, in the king row, the next jump
he makes. Here is the next move now
being figured on: By Henry's promo
ton from Lieutenant Colonel of the Sd
Cavalry to Colonel of the 10th Cavalry
he is in danger of being sent out to
Fort Assinaboine. in Montana, as the
papers have stated. But, Col. Henry's
present scheme has not been mentioned
in the press dispatches. He is fgur-
ing on a transfer with Col. Mills, who
is now in Washington working for the
commission that is locating the boun-
dairy line between the United States
and Mexico. Col. Mills will be re-
tired in August, 1898. His work on
the boundary commission will keep
him in Washington utnil about the
time of his retirement. Therefore,
Mills doesn't care as to what place he
is assigned, because be knows he will
stay in Washington. II Col. Henry can
exchange with Col. Mills, why, of
course, Mills will be sent to Fort As
sinaboine-on paper. Henry and Mill
would both be in Washington.

THE LAW OF THE CAMP.

Nowadays when one sees SO many
instances of the defeat of justice in the
courts, he cannot help recalling the
good old days of Haroun Al Raschid,
as told in the arabian Nights" and
wishing that this son of the prophet
lived in our day. Next to the sturdy
equity of the caliph of Bagdad, what
better Jurisprudence than that which
belonged to the men who blazed the
way to the western frontiers? Some
thing like that which obtained in Cali
fornia in the days when the Argonauts
established courts that struck terror
into the hearts Of evil doors. After all,
the law of human nature which pro-
ceeds from the man whose heart is in
the right place, has been found the
hest means for establishing order in a
community.
Red tape has no influence in a mining
camp, because it is in opposition to
the consciences of men who Will have
things conducted on the square. If the
right kind of men are in a mining
camp-and the rule prevails that most
of them belong to the ranks of decency
the law obtains which has it's founda-
ton in doing unto others as you would
have others do unto you. Though min
ers may swear and gamble and drink,
when it comes to 'shown-down"
their hearts will be found as big as
their pile.
The accounts which are received daily
from Klondike confirm the impressions
which one receives from mining camps
notwithstanding which started civili-
cation and drew about them the eie-
ments which make our western states
the best examples of American char
acter and citizenship. Hence when we
read the story of a correspondent at
Skaguay, Alaska, that the miners held
a meeting at bridge they are building
across the river two miles up the trail
and decided to allow no one to go over
the White pass who has not at least 500
pounds of provisions, we know that
this law of the miners was dictated by
humanity although it may be in oppo-
sition to the red tapeism of federal law
in the territory. Numbers have started
in with scarcely enough food to last
them to Dawson City. and the action
was taken to avoid the necessity of
feeding hungry people in the Yukon
country this winter. The law Of self
preservation, therefore, is paramount
to all others.
But the same promptings of human
ity which carried out the above, finds
expression in other ways, and they are
sometimes amusing. For example, at
a miners meeting in Circle City it was
decided that man cannot lick his own
dog There. is no evidence at hand to
establish the character of the dogs in
that camp. but no matter; the law ex-

IN AN OGDEN STREET CAR.
How Party of Emigrants Crossed
the Deaert.

San Francisco Call: After a long and
dangerous journey across desert and
mountain, party has just arrived n
East Oakland. where it win perma-:c-:-------
locate. These latest emigrants could not
afford railroad fare so they decided TO
come from Ogden with a regular old time
emigrant train.
The party consists of A. G. Ross, his
wife and two children and the outfit
consisted of a herdic, a wagon and q
buggy. The herdic is an old ogden street
car that was bought by Ross and is a
very quaint, but comfortable vehicle for
travelling.
The family Jared very well on the jour-
ney and although there were many mar
row escapes in the mountains, all arrived
safely.
Ross had no money but he was con-
WINGED that there was a good living to
work his way out here. He fitted uD q
corner of his herdic as a knife-sharDen-
ing shop and by this means he managed
to get enough to eat for his horses and
family on the perilous journey.
There is likely TO be quite a number of
emigrants come to the coast by this
method, as many are anxious to come and
are waiting for word from Ross.
''Not for many years has a party come
out the way we did," said Ross, ''and it
was a very hard job. The tracks and
trails had to be found and made in many
places, as the old ones are completely
obliterated. 1t is q miracle that we ar

outfit together, block the wheels and

That goes to show the miners abhor-

the rebuke was merited, although it
would not count in court elsewhere.
Pondering over these things, one can
not help expressing the thought that if
