BRIGHT OUTLOOK.

E. L. Lomax, general passenger agent
for the Union Pacific, has returned to
Omaha. after an absence OF three weeks
in the east. He reports passenger tratfic
good on eastern roads, with the outlook
bright for a continuation of this con-
dition during the coming year, not only
on the eastern lines, but on western
roads as well.
While in Chicago, Mr.. Lomax was
waited upon by the executive committee
of the Western Passenger association
in an effort to induce him to bring his
road into the association. The CHER
point at issue between the association
and the Union Pacific road bears upon
the immigrant business. The Chicago
Tribune says the immigrant rates have
been badly disturbed by the refusal OF
the Union Pacific to join the immigrant
clearing house in New York M It's
persistency in dealing with New York
immigrant agents, and adds that the
| conditions Mr.. Lomax demanded for
his road were such as to prevent a set

CAUSE OF SICKNESS.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Surgeon Nj. ii.
Crawford of the navy, who has been
stationed on board the Boston for the
last three years, has returned to Wash
ington and called today at the navy de-
partment. He says that the conditions
at Manila are such as to give no great
concern so far as the health of officers
and men on shore and afloat is con-
cerned.
He says, however, that the pre-
cautions respecting the health or
who live in the tropics must be strictly
observed, He attributes much OF the
sickness of the soldiers in the Phillp-
mines to the carelessness of the men
themselves and the lack Of stringent
sanitary rules or the failure of OH
GERS to enforce such rules.
DR.. Crawford believes there need De
no trouble with the troops or the sail
ors during the approaching summer
provided officers who have the health
of troops and eamen in charge insist
upon the closest regard for camp ano
ship sanitation.

No trouble is more common or more

People having it think their nerves are
to blame and surprised that they are
not cured by nerve medicines. The real
seat of the mischief is lost sight of.

after.
Nervous d~yspeptics do not have n
pain whatever in the stomach, o. per-

much as in nearly every organ. In
some cases the heart palpitates and is

NEW ENGINES FOR L. p

Word comes direct from New York
that the Union Pacific will order forty
five locomotives, and the Oregon Short
Lin is considering the purchase of
thirty freight locomotives. AS the en-
gines would be ordered by the same
officers in New York, it would mean the
largest locomotive order placed by a
western company in many years. 1t
would necessitate a cash outlay of $780,
600 oil Whereabouts.
None Of the local officials are pre-
pared to authenticate these reports, but
as J. f. Dunn, the mechanical superin-
tendent, is still in New York. it is like

VALLEY NEWS.


Centennial, Wyo., Jan. 3O.-(Special
Correspondence. )-During the past two
weeks the valley ranchmen have been
busy putting up ice. NJ. Walbol and
R. Hecht have completed their work,
while Thomas Bird and P. Christensen
are still so engaged.
The stockholders of the Centennial
Union hall held their first meeting at
the hall January q. They transacted
some business and elected officers as
follows: Treasurer, r. Hecht; secre-
tary, E. A. Baily; general manager, D.
p. Smith.
If anyone thinks the winter p"articu-
larry mild, please visit us a while.
Mr.. VIM. Baillie is still on the sick
list.
Last Wednesday evening, Miss Laura
Wolbol was pleasantly surprised by a
number of friends who came to spend
the evening, the occasion being the
anniversary of her birthday. The
whole affair had been carefully ar
ranged beforehand, by the other mem
bers of the family, without her knowl-
edge. The room was soon cleared for
dancing, which continued until mid
night. when lunch was served. Dane
ing was then resumed, and at 3 o'clock
the crowd dispersed with many happy
thoughts in return.
Saturday night, January 2Sth, will
fortunate enough to be present at the
dance which took place at the residence
of Mr.. Charles Hicks. The evening was
quite nice. excepting the fact that there
was from six to eight inches of snow
upon the ground, which was probably
the cause of the crowd not being as
crowd enough to have a gay old time"
About u o'clock all partOUK of an ele-
CANT supper. to which ample justice
was done. But 10 and behold! shortly
after p to the establishment of
all. one of Wyoming's binding bllZ-
yards had commenced in earnest When
it came time to go home, the storm was
raging so that a person could not see a
few rods ahead of him; the attempt to
venture home was pronounced impos-
sibIe. The storm swept on increasing
instead of decreasing. and the crowd re-
NAMED until almost IL O'Clock Sunday
noon. when some proposed starting
home as it was felt that at least a start
could be made. The gentlemen OF the
party suggested hat the aides had
better remain, but no, the latter declar-
ed themselves perfectly aole to face
the storm, once again proving the brav-
cry of woman.
As several parties were going in the
same direction, we crowded together
and with three horsemen as leaders,
| started for the Bird ranch, facing the
blizzard. The distance not being very
far, was passed without any trouble,
and we arrived there in safety o l
p. M, with the feeling, so far,so good.
After a couple of hours rest, and leaV-
ing the Bird party, the remainder con-
tinued their journey, until they reach
ed Mr.. Wolbol's place. where rest and
warmth were again required. After a
short interval, the rapidly diminishing
crowd again took leave and all, we
trust, reached home in safety, though

CANNED BEEF SCANDAL.
Miles Claims to Have Overwhelmiug
Proof.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 3l.-General
Nelson A. Miles gave out a statement
tonight, after denying several published
interviews attributed to him.
He prefaced his statement by saying:
Il nave been most freely quoted with
out authority from me or without any
utterance on my part. 1t has been a
source of great annoyance to me"
His statement is as follows:
On the 10th of last September is
sued an order to regimental command
ers to report to me concerning the beef
which had been issued to their men.
At the time that | went before the war
boa"l investigating commission | had
only received reports from fourteen of
the commanders. Now | have thirty
reports. They all tell the same story.
The evidence proves the truth of
the statements ! have made. In addi-
ton to the reports of the regimental
commanders, | have a great mass OF
evidence consisting of communications,
~affidavits, etc, from officers, soldiers
and civilians.
Every part of the country has con
tributed to the mass of correspondence
which | have received in reference to
the beef served to our soldiers, and the
evidence is all cOrroborative of what |
he Va gDiI Tba nr.1, ,ul,Ii.f.,, ,-L;.l
the press has given to the matter has
brought all the correspondence of which
| speak upon me.
Il have overwhelming evidence that
the embalmed beef was treated with
chemicals in order to preserve it. |
have afidavits from men who saw the
balming process.
Now, as to the canned roast beef.
that was different from embalmed beef.
The canned roast beef was the beef af-
ter the extract had hccn boiled out
of it.
You have seen the advertisements,
~ IA aus JAW DOullu NOIldlHS the
substance of from four to five pounds
of prime beef Well, this is the beef
after the extract has been taken from
it.
They put this beef pulp up in cans
and label it Canned Roast Beef The
soldiers report that the canned beef
was nauseating. If swallowed it could
not be kept in the stomach"
1t was pointed out to General Miles
that he had been quoted as having said
that if the men who supplied the beef
would deposit 81 900 in such a way thai
it could be made to pay the cost of the
proceedings he would furnish absolute
proof of his assertions.
He was asked what tribunal he had in
mind. or to whom he would furnish this
proof, and in reply said:
Il made that statement in response
to the offer of the beef men to pay $780,
600 for evidence of the truth of my al
legations against their product. l look
ed on their offer as a bluff, and took
that way of answering it. | have no
tribunal in mind.
Il have the greatest abundance of
evidence to support the charges l made.
and do not think that any part of the
thousand dollars need be spent in mere
investigation"
General Miles has received a telegram
from Colonel A. A. Pope of Boston, re-
questing General Miles to draw on him
for $1,000 to prove that chemicals were
used to embalm beef furnished to SOL
diers. but his offer will not be accepted
for the reasons already given.

CALIFORNIA MOUNTAIN PASSES.

California papers have so much to
say about mountain passes available
for railroads, that it is interesting to
note how many such detiles there are.
The Sierra Nevadas run through the
state from north to south. The occu-
pied passes are SiskiyOu, near the Ore
gon line, used by the Shasta route;
Summit, neal Truckee, used by the Og-
den line and the ~Tehachapi, near Bak-
ersfield, used by the Sunset route, all
Southern Pacific lines. The Santa Fe
uses the Cajon pass on its southern
California line. The Beckwith pass Is
occupied partly by the Sierra Valleys
road. Vacant are the Alturas, Walker
and Menrengo passes. The little Nc
Cloud river road is working toward AL
turas, but this is the least desirable
route. Walker and Merongo are both
in southern California.-Salt Lake Tri-
