Railway Notes.

With the completion of the Utah
& Pacific Railroad to Uvada and the
erection of suitable stations for the
proper care and handling of freight
such as now exist, arrangements
have been made whereby all freight
for points tributary to our line will
be billed aud shipped straight to
destination, without the delay here
tofore attendant upon transferring
same at Milford. In other words,
freight arriving at Milford in the
morning will reach every station on
our line before noon the same day.
Two reliable forwarding houses
have also been established at the
front, viz; P. b. McKeon and Dem
ton & Clark, for the forwarding of
freight from Modena and Uvada.
Under the new tariff effective
August 1st;
Our charges for freight in less than
carloads, between Milford and Lund
range from Is to "a cents per hun
dred, and in carloads from IL to Is
cents per hundred pounds.
The rates from Milford to Modena
have also been reduced, making a
present charge OF from 36 to A cts.
per hundred pounds for class freight
in carloads. Uvada rates are the
same as former Modena rates, viz; AZ
to so cents per hundred pounds for
freight less than carloads and 25 to
38 cents for class freight in carloads.
Upon my arrival in Salt Lake yes
terday, found that some complaints
had been sent there regarding delay
and damage to goods while in tran
sit. If you will be kind enough to
advise me promptly of these matters
or any other matters of dissatisfac-
ton, 1 will personally see that same
are remedied, of course during the
busy period of construction, often
without adequate facilities for hand
ling and caring for freight, these
things are likely to occur, bat now
that we are provided with every con-
venience and cangive our undivided
attention to transportation matters,
l think 1 can safely say, that no rea.
sonable complaint can be made re-
garding the future handling of your
business and that all will find it very
much to their advantage to route all
freight over our line.
My future address will be Milford
Utah, to which point please address
me upon all matters pertaining tc
Freight or Passenger business, and
oblige, yours very truly,
JAS. A. WEST, Supt.

Company Bunk House Burned.

On Friday afternoon the upper
De La Mar buna house was seen to
be on fire in the back end. Before
any one could get there the whole
interior was in flames and one man
who was in there asleep was pretty
well scorched before he could get
out. The curtains and bedding
caught fire the full length almost be-
fore move could be made and as
hose and water were not to be had,
all that could be done was to stand
and watch it burn.
the trunAs and clothing of some
fifteen men were in the building and
were entirely consumed, beside the
bedding and furniture of the CON-
pany. The bedding and furniture
cost in the nelghborhood of three
thousand dollars aud as it was u
convenient place for the men to
room it is quite loss both to the
men aud compauy. Several thou
sand dollars III money was burned
up aud all the clothing of the men
who roomed there which was very
serious loss to the men, who should
learn lesson from this and, at least,
keep their money where it is safe

Or. Belts Very Mich surpr sed.

DIR. Belts, the gentlemIn who
srote the great paper on the De La-
Mar Mill dust and read it before the
Iedieal Association in Salt Lake, a
short time ago. arrived in camp lust
Friday morning, to g Il items for the
continuation of scientific article
that be is preparing on the subject
The Lode man had an interview
with him Friday evening and the
Doctor expressed great surprise at
the improvements that have been
made in the mill and in the change
that he could see from what he sup
,osed were the actual facts in the
case. He informed us that our ar
ticles looked as though they were
Influenced, but he could now see
that the changes were really being
made. Pictures will be taken of the
interior of the mill as it now is and
as it was before the changes had
been made. which the Doctor intends
using in his scientific article. They
will also appear in the Lode as soon
as made into cuts.
The Doctor left Sunday evening
after making thorough examiua-
ton of the mill. He expressed the
opinion that the mill was now as safe
as any mill in the country to work
in and all that was necessary was
for the men to use ordinary precau-
ton when working there.
Another one of the dust collectors
which do such good work will be in
place in few days.-Lode.

De La Mar Mill Dust Thing of the
Past

De La Mar Mill Dust a Thing of the
Past.
"You may state as a matter of fact
that the De Ii Mar dust is thing
of the past" said District Attorney
+. II. McNamee of Lincoln county,
New, at the Cullen last evening.
"The management brought on an
expert from E lstern Touring mills
where there had been somewhat
similar trouble as at DeLamar.
The expert set up machines for
blowing away the dust and there is
no more trouble. Men can work
now without fear of trouble"
Speaking in general of matters
and things in Lincoln county, Mr..
McNamee said: Our eoanty is 300
miles long or 100 miles longer than
the State of Massachusetts. Alfalfa
is cut the year around in the south
ern part, and the northern part sup
plies the finest spring water ice, 80
we have wide variety of climate.
The county is growing III population
as new people are continually arriv-
ing FROM the East, and local resour-
ces are being developed more than
ever. The only real obstacle Lin
coin has to conttn with is it's debt
of 100000. You see in the early
days when things were run on a
wide-open basis, the county's 6nan-
ces were left i'll deplorable state OF
neglect, and an original indebted
ness of $l80,000 has since, with ac-
rued interest, etc., rolled to the fig
ure just mentioned. However, it is
believed that way will be found
out OF this difficulty, aud that the
holders of the securities will be rea-
dy to accept much reduced sum.
We have good schools in Lincoln
county, schools we can take pride
in, and the number is increasing"
MIS-. McNamee is accompanying
her husband on this trip and they
will be in town for week. Tribune.

Billings, April S.--Winter fingered so

of the country was flooded. Cellars

We're damaged. BY digging bitches and

Yesterday was full of turmoil There
were many Con Hayes explosions; that
is, the wind blew up every street in
Butte. The air was full Of fine parti-

window lodges, in mems eyes and every
other conceivable niche and corner. 1t

Telegraph and other wires sang funny
songs and tall poles and spires sWayed

dered if the wind intended to stay until
May i, and they also thought of the
times not long past when the smoke
settled over the city because there was
no wind to drive it away. The blasts
came from the west and then changed
around to the south, and over to The
east; they shot up alleys and down al
leys, and the man who walked around
block faced the wind all the way. 1t
was Dleasanter to collide with other
pedestrians than to pick out your way
with your eyes and consequently there
were MANY SIuIls anu bumps.
The wind served its purpose-it dried
up the streets and alleys to an appre-
ciable extent. All traces of the rain of

sprinkling cart was welcome sight.

Relations Are Strained.

New York. April 10.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Stockholm says: The
tension of the relations between Sweden
and Norway is indicated by the follow
ing incidents: During the crown
princes recent visit to Christiana he
invited the members of the chambers
to dinner at the royal castle. About
60 of them rudely returned the invita-
tons. The crown prince was naturally
highly offended and spoke Indignantly
of their act, which, to say the least,
was ungentlemanIy. The Swedish min
lister of war, as usual, asked the permits
sion of his Norwegian colleague to dele
gate couple of officers to attend the
autumn maneuVers in Norway. To the
surprise of all here the permission was
refused.
The crown princess is suffering from
Inflammation in her eyes and her doe
tors have forbidden reading.

ing his jubilee as a naval officer, retires
