While their tenor was understood it
was found necessary to summon per-
sons thoroughly capable of accurately
interpreting the messages, all of which
were filed at Bloemfontein.
The cabinet convened on Wednesday
to consider the messages. and it is be-
lieved an uncompromising reply was
sent. which is known to have reached
Bloemfontein by the same means as
the Boer cablegram reached the gov
eminent The nature of the reply was
such as to lead to a further. but grad
ual, retirement of the Boer forces.
In the absence of important news
from the seat of war. speculation is rife
regarding the probability of an early
peace. President Kruger's appeal to
Lord Salisbury for a cessation of hos
tilities, announced on Friday, is taken
as foreshadowing that the end will soon
been in sight.
Views OF Government.
The governments views are probably
enunciated in the following semi-Offi-
ciai statement. issued last night: 1T
is understood that the government does
not consider that the time has yet
to ultimate terms of peace, and no
member of the cabinet has authorized
any public statement on the subject. 1t
is, of course. generally understood
among all political parties in/this coun-
try that so far as the South African
republics are concerned, the status quo
ante-bellum cannot remain unaItered
after the close of hOstilities.
Their part in the system which in
Yolved large measure of political and
military independence will. of course,
be materially modified as a result of the
war, but the growing prospects of re-
stored peace must be further advanced
before her majestys government can
either finally formulate proposed terms
OF settlement or make any announce
ment of their plans"

I'm sure that your father knows you

to talk, and ask questions to draw you
out, but you answer so indiferently
and with SO little desire to keep up

Harry Henderson,, state examiner, is
still busy upon the county records fig
uring up the amount of money that is
due the various school districts of this
county from the general fund.
The claim has been made for some
time by the school board of this dis.
trict that there was a sum of money
approximating $1,000 hat should be in
its possession. This amount was
counted upon when the board made its
plans for the present year. The coun-
ty officers conceded that there was
some money due to the school fund
out of the delinquent taxes collected
and from justice court fines; but they
disputed the figures of the school
beard. The then was to the
state examiner, and Mr.. Henderson is
here now in response to that request.
Ten Years Past.
The work involves going over the
records for ten years past, for not in
that time have the funds from the two
sources named been apportioned
among the school districts. The law
provides that all the money collected
on delinquent taxes and the sums real
lied from justice court fines in county
cases, shall belong to the public school
fund and shall be apportioned among
the various districts. The Laramie
district would come in for the bulk of
the amount, which is supposed to be
close to $4,000. From this sum, how
ever, must be deducted certain
amounts representing rebates on taxes.
The county commissioners have allow
ed rebates to various property owners,
and the school funds share in these
rebates has not till now been charged
against it. Just what this will amount
to Is not known. The members OF the
school board think that the total sum
that will be left due the school, fund
will be about 81 500. AS far as any es-
innate a be made at this stage of
his examination Mr.. Henderson init
mates that the amount may be consid-
elably less.
1t is possible that Mr.. Henderson
will not conclude his work today. and
will be compelled to leave it for an
other time. He has business at Evans
ton which calls him there at once and
will command his attention for some
little time.

ported a few days ago that it had been
successful in its quest. The purchase
of the line by the Santa Fe was official,
ly announced yesterday.
Railroad men believe that the Santa
Fe purchase is the first of many con-
templated moves by the Santa Fe and
Southern Pacific to secure all the Pa.
clfic coast business. 1t is almost GER
tain that in connection with the I'm
ion Pacific the %latter's line to Uvada.
Utah, will be extended to Barstow,
to head off the Clark Salt Lake-Los
Angeles road. 1t is now said that the
purchase of the Pecos Valley was
made to head off the Rock Island and
to compel it to build its line if it wants
to get in direct connection with Ell
Paso.
The Pecos Valley extends from Am.
arillo, Texas, to fecog, down the Pc
cos river valley, n of the richest in
Texas. AT Pecos it connects with the
Texas Pacific. The Santa Fe has a
line into Amarillo, but it has no con.
nection with the Pecos Valley line.
A report is current that the Rock
Island had not bought the Ell Paso &
Northeastern, reports to the contrary
Notwithstanding. 1t is said that the
Santa Fe has outgeneraled the Rock
Island and that it will virtually own
the Ell Paso road if, indeed, it does not
make an outright purchase of it. This
would be a serious setback to the Rock
Island in its efforts to get into Ell Paso
and form a short line from Chicago to
Old Mexico and southern California.
No confirmation could be secured in
Denver of the reputed purchase of the
FL Paso by the Santa Fe.

They Will be Here Next Week on

Many Things to be Considered
Their Shares Of Western Prosper

The officials and directors of the I'm.
ion Pacific will be in Laramie on their
regular annual inspection of the road
some time next week, probably Tues
day or Wednesday. They will traverse
The entire system, and will stop in any
one place only long enough to inspect
the property of the company. More time
than usual will be taken on this trip
because of the great improvements on
the Wyoming division, and because, al
so. of the plans laid for further i'm
provements next year.
That the company intends to spend
several more millions of money in i'm
proving and extending it's system there
is now no doubt among railroad men,
and especially among contractors who
have left their outfits in Wyoming
while themselves going east for the
winter. 1t is tolerably certain that
there will be a road up the Poudre val

will. The subject is being much dis
cussed in Denver. and among railroad
men there it is certain hal the com.
ing year will see the building of this
north and south line started.
Eager to Get In.
There is an amazing eagerness
among railroads to get into the new
and comparatively undeveloped re-
gions of the west. This eagerness is
displayed on all sides-in Wyoming,
in Utah. in New Mexico and Arizona.
The certainty that a new road will be
built from Salt Lake to Los Angeles
has stirred up all companies that are
interested in transcontinental travel;
and all of them are making plans ac-
cordingly.
By purchasing the Pecos Valley sys-

believed. headed off the aspirations Of

Large Enterprise.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 27.-George
7. Beck and H. C. Alger. prominent
democratic politicians of northern
Wyoming, are here representing Colo
mel w. F. Cody, in the effort to secure
from the interior department issuance
of patents to the state of Wyoming
for 81, 900 acres Of land in the Big
Horn basin reclaimed under the Car
ey land act by the Shoshone Irrigation
company, of which Colonel Cody is
president.
This is the first tract of land OF ma
terial extent reclaimed under the Car.
ey act. and as each step of the pro.
~ulations of the interior department
progress has been exceedingly slow.
The lands were fully reclaimed over
six months ago, but issuance of pat
ents was delayed by reason of a pro
test filed by a resident of Big Horn
basin. Six months time was given the
protestant to file proof that the Sho-
shone Irrigation company had MOI
complied with the law under which
it sought patents, but at the end OF
that time, he failed to offer any proof
to sustain his protest. II patents are
issued, as desired by the officers OF
the irrigation company, contracts car

time payments and who will be sup
piled with water for irrigation by the
company which has reclaimed the
land and made its cultivation posi-
