GOSSIP OF WYOMING.

John O'Donnell, a railroad brakeman
at Rawlins, was arrested a few days
ago, charged with robbing the rooms
of the Pacific hotel at Rawlins. While
going through the clothes of a sleeping
guest. the latter awoxe, and a tussel
ensued. O'Donnel escaped but was

o. c. Nelson, Democratic candidate
for prosecuting attorney in Sweetwater
county. has contested the election of
D. G. Thomas, alleging that he was
fraudulently counted out by the can
wasting board, and certificate of cleo
ton issued to Thomas.
One of the important matters which
the members of the next legislature
will be called upon to decide is the
matter of a bounty on predatory wild
animals in wyoming. Wolves are in
creasing at an alarming rate, despite
the fact that during the past two years
upwards of 1000 has been spent by
the state in bounties. The members
from the northern half of the state are
in favor of appropriating about $4,000
for the destruction of Wild animals,
while the members from the southern
half of the state viii fight the bill on
the grounds of unnecessary eXtrava-
gance. 1t is alleged that wolves are
being raised in several counties of the
state, for the purpose of collecting
hnllntN thereon.

The vanderbilts Are Extending
Their Interests.
FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN
THE NORTHWESTERN AND UNI
ION PACIFIC INVOLVED.
Plan to Combine the New York Cen
trail, Lake Shore, Chicago North
western, and Union Pacific Into
One Great system-U. P. Direct
ors' Meeting at New York.

New York, Dec. 2O.-The Tribune
says: It is reported that a combination
of the Vanderbilt system east of Chi
cago with the Chicago & Northwestern
and the Union Pacific systems may be
under consideration. The New York
Central will under such a scheme, ex=
change its 31a per cent collateral trust
bonds for Chicago & Northwestern pre-
ferred and common at 200 and $50, and
for Union Pacific preferred and com
mon at 100 and 80 respectively. Inc
mileage of the New York Central sys-
tenn would then stand at 1926, with
a bonded debt of $492 600, 000-$34S, OOO,-
600 33a per cent collateral trust, ana
500. 600 600 stock. The grand total of
fixed charges would be S3l, 355, 600. Ac-
cording to the latest published returns
and estimates, the net earnings, after
rentals and taxes, would aggregate S46,-
$50 600 for the system, leaving bal
ance of S14, 795, 600 after fixed charges,
or about 10 per cent on New York Cen
trail stock.
The report that the Vanderbilt lines
east of Chicago might be combined
with the Chicago & Northwestern and
the Union Pacific is by no means a
new one, and seems to be not improb-
aDle, aIInOuSn the JOlLliuS u IO4CCS 70
not likely to be effected for a good
While to come. The consolidation of
the New York Central and Lake Shore
roads, it is understood, has shown re-
suits so satisfactory to the interests
which brought it about, that they are
planning to extend the plan to the
Michigan Central and other lines of the
Vanderbilt system. While the Chica-
go & Northwestern is not actually
part OF that system, the VanderbiltS
virtually control it, and their holdings
of Union Pacific securities are so eX-
tensive that they are influential in the
direction of that railroad system. BY
increasing their investments in Union
Pacific to an extent necessary to give
them control, they would have a fine
route to the far west by the New York
Central and the West Shore to Buff
falo, by the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern and the Michigan Central,
thence to Chicago, from Chicago to
Omaha by the Chicago & Northwest
ern, and from Omaha westward by the
Union Pacific. The Union Pacific is
still regarded as most likely to be the
purchaser of the Chicago & Alton. If
it should take over that road, its own
subsequent absorption by the Wander
bilt system would give the latter an al
tentative route between Chicago and
the far west, as the Alton extends
from Chicago to Kansas City, the ter
minus of the Kansas branch of the
Union Pacific, which joins the main
line at Cheyenne.

STATE LAND BOARD INVESTS
BUYS $4,000 OF GOVERNMENT
BONDS.
Law Would Not Permit the Purchase
of Church Bonds-The Interest Is
Small, But Investment Safe.

The state land board has more money
on hand than it can handle to advantage.
The sum of $50, 900 was yesterday ordered
invested in government bonds and a sim
liar amount is available for investment
in government. state, county and NUM-
cipal bonds of this state and Utah farm
loans at per cent, but not for purchase
of the Mormon church bonds, because the
law will not permit such an investment.
This IS TO be regretted since the church
bonds are giit-edge securities and earn
6 per cent annual interest.
The bonds ordered purchased Yesterday
Yesterdays quotations in New York, were
worth premium Of .O69s the interest
to the buyers. This investment of $4,000
of state land funds is easily convertible
into cash. and whenever q. better or more
profitable investment can be made tne
board will probably unload its government
securities and buy something permissible
under the law and yielding H-rger interest
to the permanent fund inv ested for the
benefit of the states educational institu-
lions.
