THE STORM UP R

For the past two days this part OF the
country has been visited by a bowling
blizzard, like unto the n which 80 I'M
tremendously swooped down upon US

About the only difference is that the
mercury has not gone SO low as 1t did
then, scarcely going below the freezing
point on this occasion. Considerable
snow has fallen, which is all piled up
In drifts, and railroad traffic is entirely
suspended. Freight trains are complete
ly showed under in the cuts near Ar

RETROSPECT OF THE EPIDEMIC.
Out OF 4, $50 Cases or Yellow Fever, 449
Proved Fatal.

According to the last weekly report,
issued by the Surgeon-General OF the
Marine Hospital Service, giving the
returns up to the 18th instant, there
had then appeared during the yellow
fever epidemic in the South a total OF
4,2s9 cases, Of which 446 had proved
fatal. OF the total number OF cases,
1,s47 were reported from Louisiana,
l,625 from Mississippi, 740 from Ala
bama, 81 from Tennessee, 10 from
Texas, from Illinois, from Georgia
and | each from Florida and Kentucky.
All but ten Of the cases reported from
Louisiana are credited to New Orleans.
The cases In Kentucky, Illinois and
Georgia were confined to refugees. A
computation shows that about l0t per
cent. OF the cases proved fatal.

The Discovery OF told.

The great and far West will always
count the beginning of its population.
development and growth from the dis
coyery Of gold in California. 1t was
the finding OF that precious metal that
fret started the rich life-blood bound
ing and rushing through the arteries,
and first quickened the pulse throbs
and gave activity to a section OF coun-
try of as grand possibilities as was ever
known to the geography OF any country.
AS far as climate and resources will
permit THE NEWS expects the history
of the great and far West to repeat it,
self in Alaska BY the discovery of
gold Alaska has been brought promi-
nently before the eyes of this country
and Of foreign countries. Heretofore
it was but little known and but little
cared for. 1t was to the United States
what forty acres of foothills are to the
remaining one hundred and twenty
acres of well cultivated quarter sec
ton.
From the discovery of the rich fields
at Klondike on, Alaska will have more
than name and place on the map.
Congress, this winter, no doubt, will
take it in hand and throw around it
and over it and about it all the safe
guards for protection OF life and prop
erty. II will give it the best form Of ter
ritorial government and will strengthen
its civil government with the strong
arm of the army and of the navy. Next
spring, its population will grow by the
boat load, and the boat loads will be
az numerous as boats at the wharves OF
a great and busy city.
From 1897 Alaska will credit It's
birthday, and mark its beginning OF
population, development and growth.
From this year ON untrodden SHOWS
will be marked with the trails OF the
prospector and its sombre forests will
resound to the blows of the axman and
the buzz OF the saw of the miliman.
Next spring will give TO it population
of two hundred thousand people and
every one of them will put forth his
best energies in some way for his share
of the shining gold. The idler and the
drone win not be Of the two hundred
thousand. The seeker Of ease and
comfort will not be OF the number, but
everyone will be impressed with the
thought that fortune comes to him who
crowds his calling, and all Alaska will
be as busy as market day.

REMARKABLY FAST TIME.
Over Mile Minute From Cheyenne 70
Council Bluffs.

OMAHA, Nov. 19.-The Union Pacific
has made another record for fast run
ming. A mail train has been shot across
the country from Cheyenne to Council
Bluffs, $40 miles, in 500 minutes. This
is actual time elapsed and includes all
stops. Engines were changed twice
and one engineer was relieved. All
the regular stops were made and one
extra, when an air brake hose burst
and had to be repaired at the expense
of over five minutes OF time. A burned
out bridge near Medicine Bow, Wyo.,
delayed the mail five hours and thirty
minutes and the train reached Cheyenne
five hours late. II was necessary to
reach Council Bluffs on time or pay a
heavy fine to the government.
Cheyenne to Sidney, 1O2 miles, was
made in LOT minutes, engines were
changed and the run from Sidney to
North Platte, 123 miles was make in liS
minutes. On this run stop was made
at Julesburg to get the Colorado mail.
From North Platte TO Grand Island,
1873 miles the time was 154 minutes, en-
gineers being changed at Lexington
and other stops being necessary. From
Grand Island to Council Bluffs, $50
miles, the time was 165 minutes includ-
ing stop OF over five minutes TO fix
the tank hose, regular station stops
and other annoyances. The mail was
landed in Council Bluffs with 10 min
utes to spare, the actual average rum
ming from Cheyenne being a little
more than 1921 miles an hour. The
most wonderful burst Of speed was
shown on the 100 mile stretch between
Grand Island and Ames, Neb. This
was covered in SO minutes actual time.
From this must be taken five minutes
for the delay with the broken hose at
Columbus, maxing the time SO minutes
for the 100 miles, including all regular
stops, or more than SO miles an hour.

Our State Institutions.

Since the Inauguration Of Governor |
Steunenberg, in January last, the state
institutions, one by one, have been |
tried and tested in the fire of criticism, |
and, as far as the trials and tests have
been made, the management OF each
one has come out as bright as gold
tried in the fire.
The first trial and test was made of
the University at Moscow and of its
new board of regents. Some of the
criticisms were criminally libelous, the
majority were harsh in the extreme,
but the University still lives and pros
pers. 1t is enjoying the most success
full and prosperous term in its history.
Its catalogue will show a wonderful in
crease in its number Of students, and a
number far in excess OF the first term
of any previous year. This increase
of patronage is the Judgment OF the
general public handed down from that
trial.
The State Normal at Albion was the
next to be put in the crucible, and the
flames applied, but that institution,
like the University, has an increase OF
patronage and is enjoying most pros
porous term. This is another judgment
of the general public.
The Lewiston Normal was the next
under fire but the flames were quickly
withdrawn. The Lewiston Normal has
surprised its most sanguine and enthu-
siastic supporters. Its enrolment OF
students has passed the 100 mark and
the number is growing from week to
week. Then Warden Van Dorm and
the penitentiary management came in
for their share and double portion of
criticism, but the Warden's quiet and
successful management OF the convicts,
his economy and his perfect control OF
the institution for the good OF the in
mates and the best interests of the
state, have won the case and just YER
dict in their favor and for them.
The Insane Asylum is the last one on
WAC AAob AoA u ho@As ~ - IL thC tIuCADtS,
the flames are playing around the cruel
BILE. The public will soon have the re
suit OF the test. The best assayer'i
balances for such tests will be used anG
the directors will give the public theil
findings of the per cent. of pure gold anC
of dross in the charges. The test viii
be as thorough as it can be made, ant
then the public will be given all tn,
findings and from which it can reach
righteous Judgment.
