are wondering when the money appro-
priated by the legislature for building
roads and bridges in Huntington can

a good time to begin the work. so that
the farmers could earn few dollars
for taxes as soon as the first hay crop
is up.

Price. Castle Gate and Scofield about

good time to all who have the pleasure
of hearing them.
Our county commissioners showed
the white feather at their last session
by repeating the ordinance passed at
a former sitting licensing sheep and
stock. The stockmen are jubilant and
claim an absolute knockout.
Mr.. D. c. Woodward, our principal.
is still in the schoolroom with a full
house of the primary students.
Huntington is building up. Several

The swamps that have for some years
past been springing up in our streets
are fast fading away and our town is
drier than for years.
Haying is in full blast The hay crop
is good and the prospects for grain
crop fine.

ARMY PROMOTIONS.
McKinley's Peculiar Course Excites
Comment-Quoy's Case.

+ ComInent-Quay's Case.
Denver Republican: The singular
course ROW being pursued by the presi-
dent in making a large number of promo
tons in the army and permitting the re-
tirement of many officers on handsome
IRE pay. Is attracting no little attention
and IL is freely remarked that merit seems
10 have little influence upon the manner
IN winch these promotions are being
made THIS is signified by the manner
IN which Junior officers in the army have
been raised over the heads of older off,
GERS having excellent records, VINO are
compelled to wait for promotions that in
the usual course of army life are pro-
vokingly slow.
Among the nominations made by Presi-
cent mckinley on Wednesday was that
OIL first lieutenant Andrew q. c. Quay
to be captain and assistant quarter1nas-
ter at a salary of S233 2 month. In the
same batch of nominations was that OF
first Lieutenant J. d. c. Hoskins TO be
captain at a salary of $40 a month. Cap
stain Hoskins graduated from the mill
tary academy in 1868. while Captain Quay
graduated in 1885, Captain Quay is the
states senator FROM Pennsylvania. and
at the present time the leader of the Re
publican party in that state. Captain
Hoskins was made first lieutenant De-
eember 20, 1870, and Captain Quay re-
ceiyed the same rank in 1896 Captain
Quay had TO wait one year for his pro-
motion, and Captain Hoskins waited %
years for his.
Nothing can be said of the record of
the Junior officer that would in the least
wise be detrimental to his worthiness of
the promotion. but the record of service
OF the two men shows an interesting COM
parison.
Captain Hoskins was a private in the
New York volunteers during the late war
and was honorabiy mustered out of serv-
ice August 10, 1863. He entered the mill
tary academy in 1864 ana graduated in
1863, and was promoted 10 first lieutenant
December 20. 1879. For more than % years
he has waited TO receive his second pro-
motion, which he gets after record of
80 years service.
Captain Quay went to milita-~
academy from Pennsylvania b 1874 and
graduated in 1888. receiving the usual a.
pointment of second lieutenant and r.
ing assigned to the Fifth cavalry. Be
tween six and seven years is the usual
time between promotion from second to
first lieutenant. and Captain Quay had
only waited this long when on April ;,
1896, he received the higher appointment.
Since then circumstances nave tended to
strengthen the political Importance of the
Quay family and as an estimate of the
value of the name TO the present ad-
ministration. one years service. as

was a charitable and upright man,
whose life had found favor with the
benevolent societies in which he held
membership. The presence at his fu-
neral of so many members of those
fraternal orders was proof conclusive
of the esteem in which he was held.
