In regard to railroad news
Without doubt he said 1.-The Globe
Democrat runs the best and most reli-
able railroad column in the country. 1t
never dabbles in sensationalism, but gives
the news In conservative manner which
has won for ii the respect and attention
can learn, there is a system in vogue
there which could be instituted to ad-
vantage IN other cities throughout the
states: whenever there is anything that
transplres IN railroad circles that is of
interest TO the public, the ST. Louis Of
nclals furnish the paper with a statement
OF the facts of the case for publication
rms, l should imagine. is more salts
factory all around, FOR if there is any
news abroad the reporters are bound TO
get on to the same, and, failing a state
ment regarding the state of affairs there
IS always the chance OF a garbled report
appearing in the papers the next morning,
and those who were most interested raise
q Dig roar because the facts are not pre-
ssented IN their proper sequence and light
forgetting at the same time that they
were the ones who probably could have
Iurnlsned the news and have saved any
mlsstatement of the facts in the case. I
mink that 1t is the experience OF most
men in high places thar if there is any
move IN contemplation that ii is sooner
or later to leak out and that under the
circumstances it is better to make an
EFFORT TO see that the public is correctly
informed regarding the same and not
through the office of rival concern.
Il see no reason why there should be
any break In the present ruling prices in
CATTLE said w. NJ. Carpenter, the stock
buyer from Omaha, at the Callen last
night. The only thing that will cause
break will be the failure of the corn
crop TINS season in the belt. Present in
dlcatons, however, point to a heavy crop,
proVldlng that this recent heavy storm
IS followed by another later in the spring
AT present corn is fetching high prices
ha raYsi.ag Of, >
Will continue to be high for some time
to come There was q decided slump in
the market some time ago, but since then
prices have stiffened and have regained
their normal condition" Carpenter came
TO this city yesterday from Omaha and
proposes TO go up to Idaho today in order
10 pick up bunch or two Of feeders for
Shipment east.
George NJ. Scott, not brother. no rela-
ton to the hardware man OF this CITY,
came in on the crest of the storm from
Denver yesterday and registered at the
Kenyon. Scott is first, last and all the
time a bicycle man, having represented
the Orient since that wheel dotted its
swaddling clothes. What he doesn't
know about the points of a bike would
not MI line. As he expatiated upon the
lntricacies Of the various vintages Of
sprockets and cranks, the conversation in
the vicinity was hushed in the Office of
the hotel and the verbose whisky man
from the Blue Grass state retired resign
edIy into the corner. leaving the field in
undisputed possession. Besides being a
bicycle man, Scott in his time has played
many parts, which embrace the roles of
a printer, manager of the racing track in
DenVer, sporting reporter for the Repub-
mean and other. positions. until he is
known among his bosom friends by the
appellatiOn OF Great Scott"
In speaking in regard to the points of
perfect wheel he said: In order to get
the maximum amount of speed out of
/ &c
nave perfectly rigid frame. for II you
90 not you will speedily find that you are
wasting a great amount Of energy which
IS lost; the same thing applies to the
crankS and other parts of the machine.
To Illustrate, the wooden handle bars
were introduced some years ago. the
theory being advanced that the giving
of the wood leSseDed the vibration in
transit This scheme had its day with
the result that the riding public soon
found out that the theory was perhaps all
right but when one came to climb hill
he soon found out that .he bars, instead of
being rigid when he pulled up on them
gave d little under his hands thereby
taxing big amount of energy in order to
negotiate the hill in question" Scott says
that the majority of the cracks are riding
his wheel, and that only recently a mile
was made on a straight-away road near
New Orleans in the record of 1:12.
J. H. BeIlemere, who makes the White
House his headquarters the year round,
received an advice yesterday from Kansas
CITY TO the effect that Robert Peet vice
president of the firm of Peet Bros Manu-
day.
Lewis Anderson of the Central Wool
company at Manti came to town last
night and registered at the Cullen. He
reports that there We're three inches of
snow on the ground at the Temple CITY
yesterday morning. and in consequence Of
the recent storms the shearing operations
have been postponed for an indefinite per-
iOd.
The wool season can scarcely be said to
have opened yet he said. Eve have only
prices ranging from 10 TO l6Sz cents. / look
for those prices to rule for the major part
the Sheepmen are selling, although there
are some who are shipping on consign-
ment while others are holding for q rise -
In speaking of the prevailing conditions
at Ma1ti he stated that the farmers are
jubilant in regard to the outlook for this

the mountains for the summer irrigation
He further said that quite a number of
the young people in the place were NOV
ing out of the state into Oregon, Idaho
and other choice spots for home-seekers.
