Traffic Manager Eccles and General
Passenger Agent Burley of the Oregon
Short Line returned yesterday after
noon from their trip TO the east, after
having completed some very important
traffic arrangements.
When called upon, Mr.. Eccles de-
clared he had nothing to say concern
ing the matter of the new officials OF
the system, but understood the heads
of the several departments were to be
retained.
While in Omaha he and Mr.. Burley
completed arrangements with the
Union Pacific concerning the running
of cars from the river to Portland, or
from Omaha to Portland. 1t is pro-
posed to improve the through passen-
ger service by the addition of new
standard Pullman chair cars and day
coaches, which will carry passengers
from Omaha to Portland without
change, thus giving a much better SER
vice than at the present time. These
cars are to be of a better class than
those which have formerly been in use
on this route, and Will be arranged so
as to provide the very best comforts
for all who patronize the line. Mr.
Eccles declares that this arrangement,
which is to go into effect within the
portant that has yet been entered into.
The proposed Trans Missouri PaSsen-
ger association, which Mr.. Burley went
to attend, has practically been ADAM
doned for the present, at least. 1t VIII
be remembered that this association
was proposed some months ago, when a
committee consisting of Lomax of the
Union Pacific, Buchanan of the Ere
mont. Elkhorn & Missouri Valley, and
Trro oic Of tha P11rlir on wa annOinf-
ed to draft constitution and set of
bylaws The meeting recently called
was for the purpose of hearing this re-
port and proceed with the organiza-
ton, but in the meantime the joint
traffic decision was handed down by
the United States supreme court, and
this somewhat upset the plans. The
passenger agents met, and after a. dis
cussion of the matter adjourned to
meet at some future date. While no or
sanization was effected at this meeting
the idea of establishing such an as
ISOLATION has not been given up, as
suggested from some sources. The
Joint traffic decision, no doubt, will
necessitate a modification of the char
ter as originally proposed, but this will
in no wise curtail the usefulness of the
association.
Mr.. Eccles believes the Short Line is
going to have a bright future, and
while saying nothing concerning the
details of the management, it is EVIL
dent he is pleased at the preservation
of the individuality Of the system.
When questioned about the proposed
double train service from Granger tC
Pocatello. and from Pocatello to Butte
he corroborated previous statements
made by The Herald that nothing
would be done until next summer at the
earliest.

ROAD UP THE CLEARWATER.
o. R. & N. Officials Project Import
ant Lines.


Portland, Ore, Nov. 2.-Incorporation
articles of more than usual significance
were flied yesterday in the offices of the
county clerk of Multnomah county
and secretary of state at Salem. The
articles incorporate new concern, to
be known as the Clearwater Valley
Railroad company, with an authorized
capital of $3,000,000, for the purpose of
building and operating several miles of
railroad and telegraph lines in Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho.
The incorporatorS are: w. II. Ken
nedy, chief engineer of the Oregon Rail-
way & Navigation company, and c..
w. Muiks, ]. c. Havely and Charles
Steele, all of whom ere connected with
the engineer department of the o. R.
& n.
This is understood to be another step
in a scheme of development for the
inland empire. The line up the Clear
water is the chief of those projected in
the incorporation articles, and it gives
name to the company. Starting from
Lewiston, Ida, implies the construction
Of the long contemplated line up the
Snake river from the Riparia crossing,
at least, and probably from Wallula,
Wash. The other lines mentioned are
of minor Importance, though they will
be of great value as developing agents
for the mining and agricultural sec
lions of the Columbia basin, through
which they will pass

BRITISH LOVE FOR AMERICANS
HON. JAMES BRYCE, NJ. P, TALKS
OF 1T TO sCoTCHMEN.
Much Impressed With Change In
Public Sentiment On Recent Visit
to America.

London, Nov. fright Hon. James
Bryce, formerly under-secretary of
state for foreign affairs, subsequently
president of the board of trade and
now a member of parliament in the
Liberal interest for Aberdeen, speak
ing there this evening, endorsed Lord
SaliSbury'S stand in the FaShoda con-
troversy, declaring that the military
control of all the navigable waters in
the Bahr-el-G hazal basin. as well as
the Nile, must be secured to Egypt
Referring to the increasing cordially
between the United States and Great
Britain, Mr.. Bryce said:
when last in the United States 1
was much struck with the change in
public sentiment. The spontaneous
outburst of feeling. in Great Britain
when the European powers wished to
intervene against the United States,
during the recent war with Spain,
made the Americans understand how
close we felt the tie between them
selves and ourselves. They have shown
that they appreciate and reciprocate
our sentiment. I would never advocate
a formal alliance At all events, the
obstacles at present are serious; but
all the conditions exist for a solid and
durable friendship between America
and Great Britain. They have no adj
verse interests anywhere in the world,
and they have common aims in sundry
regions. Everywhere each can render
a great service to the other. The
Americans and the British understand
each other better than they can under
stand any foreign country.
Mature and history meant that they
should be friends, and the closer and
the deeper that friendship r.. the better
it will be for the greatness and welfare
of both

ROUGH RIDER A.J.BURT
Return of the Big Lieutenant From
Florida.
AN HONORABLE RECORD
ONE OF THE REGIMENTS MOST
POPULAR OFFICERS.
Cause of the Sickness In Camp-Fault
Was With the Commissary De
acknowledgement Sheppard and
Private Tenant Pass Through
Denver.

Lieutenant Andrew ]. Burt of troop
1, Second U. S. volunteer cavalry. re-
turned home yesterday to receive the
greetings of his hosts of warm friends.
He looks the picture of perfect health,
and from his soldierly bearing ana
handsome appearance in uniform he
would pass as one who had seen years
of service in the regular army. But
he is the same genial, sensible Andy.
When he enlisted for the war he wore
a ia hat and all his honorable service
and merited promotions have not
prompted him to wear larger hat
band.
All the Utah boys who were in the.
rough riders" regiment who have
come home since the muster-out at
Jacksonville, Fla, report that Lieuten-
ant Burt's earnest solicitude for the
welfare of all the troopers in his COM
mand endeared him to every soldier IN
the regiment This fact has been re-
peatedly certified to by letters from the
troopers camp. Unnecessary harshness
was not in his vocabulary, and his
strict discipline tempered with kindly
feeling, elected the commentator OF
his superior officers in the good eff
fects shown in his troop. That he has
earned the high esteem of every troop
er and his kindred is by no means
strange.
When seen by a Herald reporter last
night Lieutenant Burt expressed pleas
ure at being home again. He was very
| fortunate in not having a day of sick
ness, and his weight has increased 10
pounds. He went away expecting and
hoping to see actual service in Cuba,
| but when hostilitieS ceased and 1t be
came certain that the regiment would
be mustered out, he, in common with
! all the others, rejoiced TO know that
camp life would end. However, the
experience gained is worth much.
Lieutenant Burt reports that officers
| of the regular army praised Utah's
troop as the crack troop in the regi-
ment. If it had been sent to Cuba, it
would have distinguished itself for
| fighting, riding and staying qualities.
| The lieutenant has words Of common
1 dalton for all the Utah boys. If it had
been in his power to regulate all things
| the troop and the entire regiment
would have Jared better. The govern
ment furnished plenty of rations, and
| if they were not palatable in quality
it was the fault Of the commissary
officers who accepted poor quality of
subsistence supplies when the best was
contracted for Much of the sickness
| in camp Lieutenant Burt ascribes to
the unsanitary conditions prevailing in
| that hell-hole known as Panama Park,
and the lack Of nurses. He believes
! the war department made a mistake
in selecting such an inferior camp, and
that so many soldiers and animals
were kept there four months without
a change of camp ground was sinful
| in his estimation and could not be
expected to be productive or Any.nlAg
| but the most serious results.

HEINTz Is HOME.
The Proposed Trans-Missouri Passen-
ger Association Is Practicable.

AC pOSC0 Il ctoSCAA-
ger Association Is Practicable.
George w. Eeintz of the Rio Grande
Western passenger department re-
turned yesterday from Omaha, where
he went to represent his road at the
meeting of passenger agents for the
forming of the proposed TRANSMITS
/, souri, Passenger association.
y Mr.. Heintz says the reports sent out
to the effect that the organization was
abandoned by reason of the Joint Traf-
fic opinion, was absolutely erroneous.
As a matter OF fact, it was not ex-
pected that the organization would be
completed at the recent meeting. 1t
was simply called for the purpose of
taking preliminary steps toward its
formation. Good progress was made,
Mr.. Heintz states, and at some future
date another meeting is likely to be
held.
With reference to the Joint Traffic
case, Mr. HeintZ said it would in no
way affect the organization. The best
legal opinion is to the effect that the
Western Passenger association is with
in the law, and a Trans Missouri assoc
citation, similarly formed, would not.
therefore, be illegal.
It is the general belief the headquar-
tiers of the association. when finally
formed, will be either in Salt Lake or
Denver.

COMING SCHOOL ELECTION
FOR FIVE MEMBERS OF THE
BOARD OF EDUCATION.
One From Each of the Municipal
Wards to Be Chosen On Deem
Der Next.

A month after the county and state
election will occur a school election, at
which five members of the board of
education will be chosen to succeed an
equal number of the present members,
whose terms of office will expire on Jan.
1 next. The retiring members are e.
B. Critchlow, from the First ward !;
William F. Cotton, from the Second
ward William j. Newman, Third
ward; H. G. Whitney, Fourth ward,
appointed to fill the unexpired term of
Major r. w. Young, resigned; Simon
Bamberger, from the Fifth ward, ap-
pointed to fill the unexpired term of
Charles Baldwin, resigned.
The hold-over members are E. w.
Wilson, Arnold Giauque, o. W. Moyle,
Nat NJ. Brigham and w. A. Nelden
Last year the school election was
quite lively, the retaining or abolition
of the high school being made the is
sue, but as that branch of the public
school system came off victorious and
the present board of education has. by
leasing building on West Temple
street for high school use for ten years,
practically settled the question, it will
probably cut little or no figure in the
coming election.
At the present time the election
which takes place next Tuesday over
shadows everything else, and until that
is over not much interest will be taken
in the school election. Nothing yet
has been said in the way of specula-
ton as to who the candidates will be.

SANTA FE DIRECTORS TALK.
Give Reasons For Purchasing the San
JOAQUIN Line.


Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE directors of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad
have lust issued circular to stock
holders, giving reasons for the pur-
chase of the San Francisco & San
Joaquin Valley railroad. The directors
say: 1.-The road, in its unfinished con-
dition, with no connection south of
Bakersfield, and without access of San
Francisco, except by the use of boats
from Stockton, has earned more than
its operating expenses and taxes. Its
earnings will be largely increased when
COMPLETED to San Francisco and in re-
ceipt of the through business of the
Atchison system to and from that city
and other points in northern Califor-
MIA If it shall be found necessary to
construct a connecting link between
Bakersfield and some point of intersec-
ton with the Santa Fe system of Cali
fornia, means therefor can be provided
either by using general mortgage bonds
reserved for extension purposes or by
an issue of bonds upon the new lines.
It is the expectation of your directors
however, that such construction will
not be required, as trackage rights over
the existing line between Bakersfield
and Mojave, 6S miles, can probably be
obtained"
