SPEED OF FREIGHT TRAINS.

Managers of western roads have been
giving attention of late to other fast
service than passenger trains. Fast
freights have been causing some an
noyance to them, and an effort is under
way to change that also, not necessari-
ly to abandon such speed as may be
consistently required. but to establish
a minimum, preventing any special
time being made as a near to secure a
fat contract. This was taken up for
consideration about ten days G and
referred to the superintendent along
the several lines. hut their report was
not entirely satisfactory, as several OBJ
stacles were encountered. The man
ayers of the roads have agreed, how
ever. that a minimum of speed shall be
established, and each road will arrange
its time card to suit its W service.
Fast freights have been used in hauling
live stock, fruit and other perishable
goods to the east and merchandise to
the west. and there has been no limit
to these trains as to their time.-Oma-
la Bee.

tation of these faithful assistants, who
on this as IN all past occasions had
worked hard and faithfully to prepare
the delicious refreshments and they
were rewarded by the fact that all pres

After supper dancing was resumed
and continued until the early hours of
morning, when the assemblage broke
up.
The success OF the OCCASION was in a

The rapid advance in the price OF
copper is stimulating prospecting in
the copper properties. Numerous in
quiries have been made of late as to the
outlook in the copper prospects at the
Horn and in the Bull Camp, in the Big
Horn mountains, and a number OF
moneyed men from ST. Joe and Chi
cago are awaiting spring, for a thor
ough investigation of those properties.
We predict a lively scramble for posi-
ton in the Bull Camp, as soon as the
slow will permit of access. as nearly

The great event in Pythian circles is
the anniversary of the founding of the
order. February 10Th, and Damon Lodge
No. 3, Knights of Pythias, which was
founded many years and is one OF
the leading organizations of Laramie,
seldom omits to celebrate in grand style
the orders anniversary.
The day coming ON Sunday this year,
the celebration was held on the next
day and last evening Maennerchor hall
presented a beautiful scene at a little
past 9 o'clock, when the grand march
began. The attendance this year was
not as large as on former occasions, but
the affair was as much a brilliant social
success as ever. The hall was most
| tastefuIly draped and decorated, this
having been done under the personal
supervision OF Past Chancellor L. s.
Bartlett. Most conspicuous among the
many banners and bunting was the
American flag, which a gracefully
draped over the stage of the hall, and
smaller American flags being placed in
other places. Along either side Of the
hall long strips Of red, white and blue
bunting were placed in a very striking
way, the colors being so arranged as to
show three bands the entire length of
the hall. Fastened to this at regular
intervals were banners symbolical OF
Pythiam tradition and history, while
suspended from the long rods crossing
the hall were other emblematical BAN
ners and flags. The sight was pleasing
and effective and added greatly to the
pleasure of the occasion.
Shortly after 9 o'clock the members
and guests and their ladies formed In
line for the grand march and led by
Prompter P. C. Rauner were conducted
through the various figures, after which
the dancing began and was continued
until ~ o'clock, when supper was an
nounced and an intermission OF an hour
was taken to ENJOY the bountiful spread
which had been prepared by the Rath-
bone Sisters, members Of Hermion
Temple No. 1. The supper vas another

The prediction that a storm wave
would come across the west about the
10Th of this month is verified. A bliz-
zard of considerable proportions has
been breaking loose at intervals for
the past two days and for a while this
morning it was very bad. Some snow
fell and the wind blew it hither and
thither into every crack and crevice
and pedestrians found it difficult to face
the storm to come down town.
Outside of own it was much worse.
From the railroad officials it was learn
ed that the storm which is o severe
severe west of Laramie than east, was
giving them considerable trouble. On
the hill the snow does not drift into
the cuts because they have been wild
ened and the wind mas full sweep to
keep them clear, but west at Lookout
vice of all the 'snow-bucking'' ma
chinery that could be concentrated
there and utilized to keep the main line
open so as to avoid delay in passenger
and mail service and the Union Pacific
is making a record second to none in
its efforts in this direction. There are
two rotary. or JUL plows, between
Laramie and Rawlins and part of the
time yesterday there were three. In
! al1ittnn tbnu nrn rSinO fuTn NJ fhrnQ
push plows and a couple Of Hangers.
The snow is light and drifts easily, and
every pun of wind lifts the white flakes
and fills the cuts. In many places the
cuts are ten to twelve feet deep and the
walls are cut clean by the rotary as 1t
passes through. The push plows have
ceased to be of any service in many
of these cuts, because the banks of snow
on either side are high and the pillow
only pushes the snow aside til the en-
CINE and caboose pass and then it drops
back on the track so hat it is necessary
to use the rotary, which throws the
snow from $50 to 500 feet to one side
| of the track. In ONE places the cuts
are so deep that a person can step on
the top of a box car onto the top of the
drift.
General Manager Dickinson came in
from the east on a special yesterday
morning n left his car here, going
west on the rotary.
Passenger trains made schedule time
but freight traffic is abandoned for the
present and there are several hundred
carloads of freight tied up on the Wyo-
ming division.
Last night a special train was sent
out consisting of fiat cars loaded with
snow fences which were made here and
are ready to be put up so as to asst as a
wind break and keep the snow out OF
the cuts as much as possible. A gang
of men worked all night and all a at
this work. The nov fences are all
covered up and the new fence goes up
on top of the snow fence and is an
chored.
We are not prepared to state at mis-
time whether this storm is an annex
TO the old one or an anticipation OF our
annual March storm.
