IN the reorganization OF the Short
Line. General Manager Bancroft is call
ing to his assistance men OF vast eX-
perience in railroad matters, and gentle
men versed in the affairs of the world
as well. A H.. Stewart, formerly chief
dispatcher at this point, but recently
chief at Salt Lake city. will go to Poca-
tello as superintendent, taking n step
above Curtis A. Boise, assistant superin-
tendent at that place. Mr.. Stewart is a
genial gentleman and a nan Of wide ex-
perience in railway matters His friends
at Laramie will be pleased to near OF his
promotion, and their kind wishes will
follow him through life.
1t is stated that another old-time west
ern man will come back to his ti~rst-love,
the Oregon Short Line. and T.. E. Cal
win will become general superintendent.
with headquarters nj Salt Lake City. He
worked with the Short Line for many
years ind only left it to take Il better and
more lucrative position in the south.
His reputation as n railroad man is
above reproach.
The Republican has already noted the
fact that Hugh Swortwood, formerly OF
this city, has been rendered and accept
ed the position o: general baggage agent
Of the recognized line. He is now in
Chicago looking up a set of checks for
the road. SwOrtward's promotion has
been rapid and surprising since his adj
vent in railway circles. He came INTO
the line as baggageman only II few years
ago. His first promotion from the car
was 10 the baggage room at Cheyenne.
and this was made over the heads of a
dozen men who had been in the service
OF the company for many years before
Hugh thought of going on the road at
all. Next he was removed to Salt Lake
City, and now he gets u nice situation on
the recognized line.
Another promotion announced will be
hailed with considerable satisfaction by
the people Of Laramie. To succeed A.
II. Stewart as chief dispatcher at Salt
Lake City, Robert Brady. formerly a
well-known dispatcher in the Laramie
Office. will br advanced. Bob Brady's
friends are legion in this neck O. woods.

NOT THE AIR.

Recently II local railroad official was
asked why it was thai SO many of the
old-time railroad boys of Laramie re-
ceived rapid advancement in the rail-
road world after leaving here, and he ex.
planned it in this way:
THE stretch of track between Chey-
enne and Rawlins is one of the hardest
to railroad upon in the entire west, il
not in the United States. There are very
few roads which handle as much traffic
on a single track. and some of the grades
nre tremendous for a broad-gauge. The
conditions here are such that after a man
has had the experience of %contending
with them for severa years it is a lib
eral railway education for him and he is
qualified to go anywhere and have a
knowledge OF practical r%ailroading
which will serve him in competition
with anyone.
Again there is n superior class OF
ner in which the big trains are handled
is proof OF this. To take u train of "a
cars over a division which is up hill and
down from one end TO the other, with
out breaking it in two. requires remark-
able skill on the part of the engineers,
yet the feat is accomplished here month
after month. Experience is what counts
in railway matters as we'll as in other
lines, and that is the eason why so
many men from Laramie have advanced
to the top Of the ladder in the railway
world. 1t is not the air."

DEATH OF THE BELL CORD


The Union Pacific railway which, sew
eral months ago, put on as a test the air
whistle signals that are used on nearly
all eastern roads and many Of the west
ern roads, in place of the bell cord sig
nails on passenger trains, has found the
plan to be successful. 1t has ordered all
bell rope connections removed. The new
signals are a strength saver for the
trainmen who have to manipulate the
signals. Heretofore when a brakeman
OF conductor wished to give a signal
from the rear end of a passenger train
1t required considerable muscle to pull
the long rope. The new attachment
gives each car separate connections. the
appliance being worked by the air reser.
voir under the car. The new whistle
has been in operation on Denver
Pacific trains for over a year, but not
until recently did the Union Pacific
adopt the whistles Oh its main line
trains.-Cheyenne Tribune.

TUE BUILDING ASSOCIATION BILL
PASSED FAILED OF SIG
NATURE.
A Discovery Made by Governor Richards
When He Come to Sign TIT was IA

Executive Office, Cheyenne, Wyo..
March I'd. lS97.-Hon. George w. Fox,
Laramie. Wyo. My Dear Sir: l was
very painfully surprised yesterday by
the discovery hat enrolled act No, 6 Of
the senate, concerning the formation,
building and loan associations had not
been signed by the speaker Of the
house.
This act was brought down to me at
1915 p. M, February Goth. by Senator
Williams, chairman of the enrolling
committee of the senate 1t was re-
marked that we had previously received
enrolled acts Nos. I and 8. and Senator
Williams stated that this act had been
delayed by an error in its enrolment,
which made it necessary to have 1t en-
rolled the second time. This is all that
we know about it. 1t is probable thai
Senator Williams inadvertently neglect
ed to present it to the speaker Of the
house for his signature. A careful OK
animation Of the journal OF the house
fails to discover that it was ever SO pre-,
scented to him. My opinion is that the
bill is dead. l am very sorry but l can
see nc help for it. With the great num-
Der OF bills coming in at the time OF
night when this was received, it was not
possible to sc%rutinize them all carefully,
and they were simply receipted for and
placed in the safe. l have not yet seen
Mr.. Kelley about this matter but doubt
very much if he can throw any light up
on it. Very truly yours,
VIM. A. RICHARDS.
The history Of the bill is q matter Of
interest to the people. 1t was first intro
duced in the senate by Senator Fox,
where it met with no little opposition
from Senator Appleget and others. This
caused some delay. but it was finally
passed and went to the house, where it
received no delay whatever and passed
without opposition. 1t was then referred
back to the senat for enrolment. Aft
erward The committee, Hon. Frank Will
Jams chairman, discovered an error had
been made and it had to be engrossed q
second time. 1t was her presented to
the president OF the senate for his sigma
ture, together with u number OF house
bills which had already received the sig
nature Of Speaker Kelley, and was then
undoubtedly overlooked by Mr.. Will
Jams and taken directly to the governor
without the speakers signature.
The bill is therefore dead beyond res
direction at the present time, and it Is
very unfortunate indeed. 1t had been
drawn by Mr.. Symons with great care
and would have proved a blessing in
many ways to the local associations. As
the matter 0 stands all matters con-
tanned in the bill may be provided for
by local bylaws and the serial associa,
tons carried OF as contemplated in the
measure, but 1t will have 10 be a matter
OF mutual consent instead Of state law.

GRAND ENCAMPMENT DISTRICT
Already Things are Beginning to Liven
Up There.

A special from Laramie to the Denver
Republican says:
w. G. Wruy, a w%ell-known Colorado
miner, who has just reached here from
the Grand E~ncampment district, reports
that already things are commencing to
become lively in the camp. He predic,s
a tremendous influx OF miners from all
parts within the next 60 days. On the
main belt the snow is now from four to
six feet in depth, but by the first OF
will be in shape to admit of prospect
work being resumed. Even now claime
are being field upon daily by mining
men from all parts. and along the Snake
river on the other side OF the range. are
camped a number of prospecting outfits,
h await the disappearance OF the
snow In order to m work. A
humber Of prospectors nre already n,
work in the camp completing the ASSESS
ment work on claims taken up. In the
vicinity OF the Gold Eagle claim, the
hrst strike made in the camp, there is a
scene Of unwonted activity. On every
eide Of this rich prospect claims are be,
ing filed upon. from the big number Of
locations made and the reckless manner
in which the ground is being located
there can be but one result-trouble
spring. Nearly a dozen Colorado outfits
are now hard at work on their proper
ties. Shaft houses have been erected
and they are proceeding with develop,
ment work in a business-like way.
There has been some outside talk OF
mere prospect holes 10 feet or so in depth
being offered for sale to outsiders. THIS
may have been true in one or two In
stances where nothing was shown up
by prospecting, but where any showing
at all has been made ut this scant depth.
the property Is being held by the own
ers.
1t is learned that Messrs. Houston &
Culliton, the owners Of the Gold Eagle.
now control no less than 1926 claims, the
assessment work On which has already
been done. These claims are located on
both sides Of the claim above mentioned
and take in the richest part OF the min
eral belt In the district. Since last July
this company has had a large force OF
men doing development work on its
properties.
According to the latest reports from
the camp. ore Is being taken out Of the

for shipment to Denver. A mill test of

SALT LAKE, Utah, July 4.-The
Christian Endeavor people have perme-

mon city today and visited every point
of public interest.
The incoming trains were arriving at
all hours of the night and early morning.
A large number of the visitors made
their way to the bathing resorts at the
lake; others attended divine services
at the various churches, while large
portion of them broke away from all
plans of entertainment and amused
themselves according to their own in
clinations. The visitors were so scat
tered throughout the city at 2 o'clock
that the Christian Endeavor parade ar
ranged for that hour was abandoned.
A Junior rally was held at the First
Congregational church at $3.50 a. M, at
which Miss Eyles and Miss Hubbard
presided Addresses were made by Mrs.
Frances E. Clark of Boston and others.
At II o'clock a. M services were held at

The House Ready to Take Action Just
as Soon as It Gets Even
Half Chance
Associated Press Special wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, July 4.-The outlook
for the week in the senate is quite un-
certain. There is every probability that
the tariff bill will be passed, but whether
early or late in the week is by no means
certain. The various provisions for =
stamp tax, for beet sugar bounty and
for the suppression of trusts threateA
to develop considerable debate, and
there is prospect of general speeches
by Senators Bate, Mills, Chiffon, Allen
and Others Senator Allison has given
notice of an effort to secure night ses-
sions Monday or Tuesday. The present
indications are that there will be a de-
termined effort to force the COMMITTEES
on finance to restore the sugar bounty
provisions and upon the success or fall
ure of this effort probably will largely
depend the length of time yet to be con.
sumed in the senate.
When the tariff bill comes over to the
house this week the program is to send
it Immediately to conference. The
minority will make no opposition to this
if the Republicans will assure them
reasonable time" for debate when the
bill is reported back by the conferees.
The Republican leaders express their
assent, though no determin alton has vet
been made of how long reasonable"
time is.
Mr.. Bailey thinks three or four days
will be sufficient. In view of the fact
that the bill may return to the house any
day, the order for sessions only on Mon
days and Thursdays will probably be
revoked tomorrow, or recess will be
taken from day to day until the bill
passes the senate.
The Republican members of the sem
ate committee on finance held session
today and decided to offer no more
amendments to the tariff bill, and also
not to reintroduce the beet sugar
amendment. 1t is understood, how
ever, that the committee will make no
united or determined effort to prevent
the acceptance of the amendment as
offered by Allen but that Republican,
senators will be left free to support it or
not as they may see fit. The indications
now are that majority of them will
support the amendment, knowing the
committees action in withdrawing it.
1t appears that the bounty provision
was authorized by one of the Republican
caucuses and that many Republicans
feel bound on this account to stand by
the provision, even though it is offered
by the opposition. The Democrats,
however, will oppose the amendment
determinedly. The situation is full OF
many possibilities and the end cannot
be predicted until this question is set
tied.
