The FINEST AND FASTEST
TRAIN IN THE West:

This headline refers to the
twenty-eight hour train between
Denver and Chicago via tie U. p.
D, & G. Ry., Union Pacific K. r.
and Chicago g. North Western Ry.,
which was inauguratcd Feb. 9Th.
The time of this train is fi\ g
hours faster than the former sched-
ule between Denver and Chicago,
and its average speed is greater
than that attained by any othcr
train savo the limited trains be-
tween Chicago and New York.
Leaving Denver each afternoon nj
4 30 this train reaches Chicago at
S.45 p. NJ. the following day-but
one night and day being con-
sumed in the trip from the Rockies
to the Great Lakcs-a feat in rail
roading which few years ago--was
thought impossible.
The equipment of this train is
entirely new and comprises the
most modern ideas which have in
recent years been applied for the
comfort and convenience of travel
ers. There is, besides the regu-
luton baggage and mail cars, n COM
posite car-something entirely new
in tho West which is n combina-
ton OF library, parlor, smoking
room and buffet, in which there is
bath room and barber shop
presided over by first class ton
sorial artist; modern chair car,
two OF the most recent Pullman
Palace sleepers, and finally n
dining oar in which meals will b,
served equal to tho best restaurants
in the country and on the IA carte
plan-pay only for what you ont
As TO the outward appearance, the
train is of uniform color with the
new-wide vestibule end, which
gives the appearance Q the train
of being aae continq rus palace ear
with little observation qampart-
ment at regular intervals.
This train will certainly proye
most popular, especially as no ex-
cess fare is charged on it, the same
rates applying US on inferior ard
slower traius. l3-lm.

How Rail. Arc Injured.

While on steam roads the tracks are
not injured by locomotives running at
high speeds. street railway men com
plain that their tracks are torn to
pieces by the electric cars. The rea-
son for this Is that the plunglng and
rearing of cars mounted on four-wheel-
ed trucks pound the track and loosen
the joints. Cars on short-base single
racks often plunge sufficiently to
throw practically all the weight on to
he front and rear wheels alternately,
md the damaging effect OF this can
easily be realized,

Plans for Observing Anniversary 81
Founding of City of Washington.
In the year 1900 will occur the centennial
anniversary Of the founding Of the city
Of Washington for the permanent capital
of the government OF the United Statss
by authority Of an act Of congress ap-
proved July 16, $780, In May, 1900, the
archives and general offices Of the federal
government were removed to this plaza
On the nth of November, 1900, the national
congress met here for the first time ana
assumed exclusive control Of the fedora,
district and city. This interesting event
recall the circumstances attending the
choosing Of the site. the naming Of the
capital In honor of the Father Of His Coun-
try and the interest taken by him in the
ment on a magnificent scale. These orig
inal plans have been wrought out with
constant progress and a signal success even
beyond anything their trainers could have
foreseen. The people Of the country arY
Justly proud of the distinctive beauty and
government of the capital and Of the rare
instruments Of science and education which
here find their natural home. A movement
lately inaugurated by the citizens to have
the anniversary celebrated with fitting
lshment of a handsome permanent MEM
orial to mark so historical an occasion
and to give II more than local recognition,
has met with general favor on the part
Of the public. l recommend to congress
the granting Of an appropriation for this
purpose and the appointment of a commit
tee from its respective bodies. It might
also be advisable to authorize the presi-
don't to appoint a committee from the
country at large which acting with The
committees, can complete the plans for
an appropriate national celebration.

This remarkable extension OF service

Demands of the War.
The war with spain lad new and excep-
tionalIabors on the post Office department.;
The mastering OF the military and naval
forces of the United States required special
mail arrangements for every rye, camp mp, and md
tween home and camp was naturally eager
and expectant. In some Of the larger
places OF rendezvous as many as a $4,000 let
sity was met by the prompt detail and dis
patch OF experienced men from the estab-
lished force and by directing al ne instru-
mentalities OF the railway mail and post
ONCE service as far as necessary to this
new need. Congress passed an act empow-
ering the postmaster-generalt 70 establish
Offices or branches al every military camp
or station, and under this authority the
postal machinery was speedily put into
effective operation.
forces moved upon Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines. they were ATTENDED ana
followed by the postal service. Though
the act Of congress authorized the appoint.
ment of postmasters where necessary, IL
was early determined that the public In
terests would be best subserved not By
new designations, but by the detail Of ex-
perienced men familiar with every branch
OF the service. and this policy was steadily
followed When the territory which was
the theater Of conflict came Into our pos
session. II became necessary to reesta blish
mail facilities for the resident population
as we'll as 10 provide them for our forces
OF occupa ton. and the former requirement
was met through the extension and apph-
cation OF the latter obligation | gave the
requisite authority, and the same general
principle was applied to this as to other
branches of civil administration under
military occupatio The details are
more particularly given in the report of
the postmaster-general and, while the work
is only just begun, II Is pleasing TO be able
to say that the service In the territory
which has come under our control Is al
ready materially improved.
