THE FIREMEN'S TOURNA
hENT

Our 6remsn have every reason to be proud
of their performances at the tourua amen, 10
Wilmington on lest Friday, and the citizens
Of Sumter have juss cause to DO proud of the
boys.
We publish tho official record of the races
in another column. That isn't all, for We
are Informed that tho Delgars have lowered
The record for tho two Caroliuas /; probably
for the Southern States. and possibly for the
United States. OF this We cannot know, be.
cause We are not familiar with the records.
But any how it is glory enough for Sumter
for oue time, and for that reason we are
satisfied. The Delgars made a magnificent
dash, aud went through the trying ordeal
without a bitch. The Monagbans also did
spleudidly, aad might have won, or tied the
Delgars, except that James Miller, who made
the connection at the hydrant, stumbled 10
making the jump, and 90 one or two seconds
were los. Except for this most natural &C.
cident, which 60 frequently happens, their
work wss perfect.

Secretary of War Approves S~ternberg's
Recommendation to Reward Them.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE secre-
tary Of war has forwarded to con gress
with his approval draft of a bill pre-.
pared by Surgeon General Sternberg
providing for the appointment OF con.
tract surgeons who have rendered one
years faithful and satisfactory service
in the army Of the United States as as.
sistant surgeons of volunteers, with the
rank of first lieutenant. The bill pro-
vides for such appointments after the
usual examination as to physical and
professional qualifications, and the of.
ficers so commissioned are to be sub
ject to honorable discharge whenever
their services are no longer required.
The bill also provides for the promotion
of such assistant surgeons to the rank
of captain after two years faithful and
satisfactory service.
General S~ternberg has written q letter
to the secretary of war urging the enact
ment Of lhe proposed legislation during
the present session of congress, both in
the interests of the service and as q
matter of justice to the large number of
contract surgeons, who are now in the
service and upon whom, to a large ex-
tent, he says, devolves the duty Of car
ing for the sick Of armies in the
United States, in Cuba and in Porto
Rico, in Alaska and in the Philippines.

Survey Commenced.

Hon. D. T. Miller, of Boise
City. spent several days of last
week in Challis. Mr.. Miller is
in charge of surveying party of
the Idaho Midland railway. This
party at present consists of only
about eight men, but another
party of surveyors are expected
this week. They are now engag-
ed in surveying at a point on
Salmon river known as Cronk's
canyon, some 20 miles below
Challis. This is probably one of
the most difficult pieces of en-
gineering on the entire route. A
short tunnel will probably have
to be run at this point. From
Cronk's canyon the survey will
be pushed toward Challis, reach
ing this valley sometime during
next month, while another corps
of engineers will put on at that
point who will work toward Sal
mon City, following down along
the river. This is the permanent
survey and they are cross-sec-
tioning as they proceed. 1t is
said that no less than eight
bridges will be put across Sal
mon river between Challis and
Salmon. Mr.. Miller informed
us that the Midland company ex-
pected to put several gangs of
graders on the survey soon,
probably within three weeks,
when work will be pushed. It
will not be long until Challis
will know how far it will be left
to the west of the line. Some
are of the opinion that the road
will keep close to the river in
this valley, thereby throwing
the town of Challis about three
miles west of the road. We do
not coincide in that opinion,
however, but firmly believe the
road will run pretty well up or
the bench land, which is the
only natural and solid road bed.
1t will probably pass through Of
near VIM. Babcock's ranch anC
run in q straight southerly course
through the valley, and if this
be the case, the survey will no
run over half a mile east of here
