the well known Yakima sheep man.
Twenty years ago Mr.. Wright was n
large cattle buyer in New York city and
he shipped on board a tramp steamer
bound for Antwerp, $50, 900 worth of cat
tie consigned to Birmingham, England.
On the way over storm arose and the
captain informed Mr.. Wright that he
would have to throw overheard Wright's
deck-load of cattle. Wright protested
and threatened to shoot the first man
who interfered with his cattle. The cap
tain put him in irons and sent him be-
low. In the meanwhile he threw the
cattle overheard. The storm blew over,
the next day being beautifully calm.
On the arrival of the steamer at Antwerp
Wight went to Brussels and libeled the
steamer, which WAS released on bond.

After Many Years.

Rev. \. Evans, returning from Indian
spolis, tells the Goldendale Sentinel that
Indiana, cleared of its timber and its
swamps drained. is very beautiful
country. But the 'old swimmin' hole
is gone, the 'fishin' is spilled. Wheat is
growing on the old beaver dam. The
corduroy road has been graveled. The

scarce. Few sugar orchards remain, and

Burlington Coming Here.

Persistent reports reach Omaha from
the west indicating that the Burlington
road proposes soon to begin building an
extension OF it's line from Cheyenne,
Wyo., to Ogden, Utah, says the Post.
Intelligencer. For months there have
been several surveying parties in the ter
ritory to be traversed and officials of that
company have from time to time looked
over the ground. As fast as these re-
ports are carried to General Manager
George w. Holdrege he discredits them.
Supt. +. +. Calvert, whose headquarters
are at Lincoln, is the last high official of
the Burlington road to make a personal
inspection of the proposed route. A dis
patch says that he is looking after mat
tiers pertaining to the extension of the
Burlington road from Alliance to Ogden
and OF terminal facilities in the latter
city.
The Burlington has several corps of
surveyors at work in the country west of
Hartviile, Wyo., according to dispatches
from Cheyenne. And it is believed that
the company is reaching out toward the
Pacific coast. There is no doubt of the
intention of the Burlington to break
through the Rocky mountains, and an
eminent authority here says the proposed
line between Salt Lake and Los Angeles
has some relation to the new Burlington
extension.

GERMANY AND sr. THOMAS.

According TO a Berlin special, the Ger
man Government has cast cOvetOus eye
upon the Danish island of ST. Thomas.
and "a determined TO secure it for a So
FAILED coaling station. provided that the
United States do not interfere with in
surmountable objections
In referring TO this the Philadelphia
Evening Telegraph says: "But that is
just what the United States are bound
to do. and II these objections can be
made effective in no other way, we shall
be obliged TO take over this and the
two other Danish Islands at such roa-
sonable price as may be agreed upon"
The Telegraph then points out that the
port OF Charlotte Amelie is capable OF
being made a veritable Gibraltar, and adds
that II we should consent to Germany's
getting such a foothold IN this hemis
phere, II would be equivalent TO the COM
piete abandonment OF the Monroe doc
trine. The country. continues the Tele-
graph is now less disposed to change it's
traditional policy in that direction than
ever before.
These last declarations are hut little
short OF amusing, seeing that the United
states have torn tho Monroe doctrine into
tatters. The Impcriallsts who are In the
administration saddle have whistled our
traditional policy down the wind, and
left US no claim upon the moral support
of the world in asserting 1t. If Denmark
would prefer to sell TO Germany rather
