UTAH & PACIFIC.
Work Begins at Milford This Week.

Despite energetic movements to-
wards an early laying of rails on
the 76 mile extension of the railroad
south from Milford, there are those
who still believe it will end in moth
ing, as other similar propositions
have in the past. With material in
the shape Of rails, ties, spikes, etc,
beginning to arrive at Milford there
can be no doubt of the rails soon
going down. Last Saturdays Trib-
une says:
A requisition was made yesterday
by the Utah & Pacific on the Geo. NJ.
Scott-Strevel company for the first
installment of bolts and spikes. The
Salt Lake company is acting as
agent for the Colorado Fuel & Iron
company, which secured the cor
tract. About twenty carloads of
bolts and spikes will be used in the
first 76 miles Of construction. They
are to be delivered at Milford as
needed.
Sundays issue of the same paper
has the following:
Utah X Pacific matters are pro-
crossing rapidly enough to cause
satisfaction to tie promoters of the
road. Contractor Hendricks came
in from Richmond yesterday and
held consultation with officials of
the company.
To the Tribune Mr.. Hendricks
said that he would ship part of his
outfit to Milford early this week and
that he hoped TO begin the work of
shaping and leveling up the road
bed by Wednesday. Chief Engineer
West will go to Milford Tuesday
with his corps and push in ahead
of the contractors with the work of
surveying.

County Printing.

In recent issue the Messenger
stated that the proprietor of the
RECORD was responsible for the birth
of that sheet, that the REcoRD and
the Lode put up job to bleed the
county on its printing, and that the
Messenger was started to protect the
county, etc.
That is not true. The rates for
printing are prescribed by law, and
neither the RECORD nor the LODE
ever received the limit which the
law allows, but ON the other hand,
for years past, and always
since the present proprietor owned
the REcoRD, have done the county
newspaper work at less than legal
and have done it we'll.
This is large county and its
printing is extensive. Before the
present printing contract was
awarded last spring the Commits
sioners affected to believe that the
contract price of $50 month then
being paid the REcoRD and LODE was
too high, and signited a desire to
have the county work done at legal
rates as suggested and offered to
give the County a discount of ten
per cent. on each bill allowed,
which would insure fair treatment
to the county, even on the Commits
sioner's view of the matter. This
bid with the reasons for it, is now
on file in the Clerks office. There
was no secret about it and its sub
stance was known and talked of be-
fore the Board met that month,
The REooRD-LoDE bid was rejected
and bid submitted by N. P. Dooley
County Treasurer, at $4,000 q
month was accepted. Thus subsi-
dised the Messenger started out
We would be quite willing to serve
the county's printing interest at the
same rate, and no doubt there are
others.
The contract rate for County
printing to the RECORD and LODI
papers in 1896 was $500 PEI
month. In 1895 the RECORD had tn,
contract at $27 so per month. TIL,
MESSENGER now has it at $4,000
month. Comment is unnecessary
Has the REooRp bled the county oil
these figures? Each person inter
ested can draw his own conclusions

PANAcA POINTS.

Mrs. Eta Cox from Delamar is
here visiting with relatives and
friends.
Sophus Hansen is about to begin
the building of a new brick house.
Panaca is steadily adding solid and
picturesque buildings to its list.
The grain of the valley has been
threshed and the machine is housed
for the winter. The crop for the
year was about 23O0 bushels. When
the new reservoir is completed this
amount will easily be quadrupled.
About one half the shares of the
new reservoir company have been
disposed of and the remainder are
expected to go soon. The better
the project is understood the more
interest there is manifested in it and
active work is expected to begin a
few weeks hence.
Rass Ronnow and Will Edwards
have been called upon to go out as
missionaries from Panaca for the
Mormon Church. Rass Ronnow
goes to Germany and Will Edwards
to England. A farewell party will
be given the two young men at Pa
naca tomorrow night to raise funds
to assist in the payment of their ex-
penses. Parties of this character
are always well attended and an en-
ioyable evening will be spent be-
sides securing material assistance
for the two young men.

Cure For Appendicitis.

Appendicitis occurs very rarely
and the percentage of people who
eat fruits with seeds in them that
are caught is insignifcantly small.
When the complaint does seize one
it is not necessary to die. The la
test and most successful cure is to
administer from one to two ounces
of sweet oil every three hours until
the pain and fever are relieved. The
seeds which cause the trouble irri-
tate the muscular tissues SO that con.
gestion follows, and this may soon
cause inflammation of avery serious
character.
Sweet oil, administered in time
and faithfully. allays the infamma.
tory condition, reduces temperature
and relaxes the tension of the mus
cular coating Of the intestines and
appendix. Besides that, it takes
seeds and all foreign substances
with it, and effects a complete cure
The patient should be kept in bee
and poultices should be applied yer,
hot over the seat of the pain. Yam

NEvADA'S SOLDIERS.
Senator Skaggs of Elko one of them
Lectures on Their Treatment and
Present Condition.

A crowd, completely filling Har-
ris hall turned out last night to give
Robert Skaggs and Artie Bowman a
welcome home and to hear from
them the story of their experiences
in southern army camp. Bowman
was too i'll to be present.
Rev. Nj. S. Riddle was elected
chairman, after which, Senator
Skaggs gave concise, conservative
but interesting story of the expert
ences of Troop Min the Jacksonville
encampment. He gave detailed
explanation of the hospital arrange
ments, the number and present con-
dition of the sick, the character of
the rations furnished and the pres
ent needs of the men. The speaker
was listened to with the closest at
tention and vigorously applauded
when he concluded.
From his statement and from the
statements of other members of that
troop who have recently returned to
the State, we have arrived at the
conclusion that the Nevada boys,
used to the open air and free life
of this altitude, have become debil-
itated by fevers, chronic dysentery
and other diseases incident to that
locality, and have little relish for
garrison duty in Cuba.
If the foregoing conclusions are
correct these men are in no condi-
ton to further remain in that locality
or be sent to Cuba, and every effort
should be put forth to either have
them discharged or removed north
where they can recuperate.
After the meeting closed petition
was started asking the Governor Of
our State to send physician and
two reputable citizens to Jackson
vile to make thorough examination
and report thereon. The petition
is being signed by everyone. -Elkc
