NEW DIVISION ENGINEER.
Ernest Stenger Appointed for Colora-
do and Wyoming Divisions.

1t is officially announced that Ernest
Stenger has been appointed division
engineer of the Union Pacific for the
Colorado and Wyoming divisions. vice
William Ashton, resigned.
The position is a most important one,
says the Omaha News, as during the
coming summer the road in question
will make a number of important
changes in its line in the way of elm
mating grades and getting around
hills. The big Sherman hill tunnel will
also need much attention, and the forty
miles of work from Upton to Rawlins
will come under the jurisdiction of Mr..
Stenger. Aside from this, much new
work is to be mapped out in Colorado,
the plans for which have already been
agreed upon.
The appointment of Mr.. Stenger was
made by Chief Engineer Berry and is
considered one of the best he ever
made.
Mr.. Stenger was formerly assistant
city engineer of Omaha and while fill
ing that position showed his ability to
meet all conditions as they present
themselves. He was also at one time
assistant city engineer OF South Omaha.
He has had experience in western sur
veying. having not alone done work
for several canal companies, but has
laid out work for several western rail
roads.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN TREES.
Division of Forestry VIII Make a Study
of Their Growth.

The Division of Forestry has decided
to investigate early next summer the
extreme eastern distribution of the
Rocky Mountain trees. The informa-
ton will be for the benefit of tree
planters on the western plains, for the
success of planting in these regions
must largely depend upon introducing
the trees which are naturally adapted
to them. Heretofore a large portion
of the trees planted upon the plains
have been eastern species, the effort
of planters having been gradually to
force the eastern species westward.
There is reason to believe that a num-
Der of Rocky mountain trees ,accustom-
ed to an arid environment, will be apt
to succeed better in the most western
plains region than the eastern species.
This is particularly true of trees which
grow naturally on lower elevations
and which follow the streams for some
distance into the plains.
The work will be done largely by COL
laborators of the division who are ia
miliar with the region. To each will
be assigned a certain area, in which,
following the trees eastward, he will
study their habits OF growth in varying
situations.

IN LARAMIE; THE CADET
BALL.
A Good Attendance and a Pleasant
Time-Dancers Remain Until Day
light-A Partial Descriptive List Of
the Costumes Worn by the Ladies
Other Events of the Week.

The first faint streaks of dawn had
tinged the eastern sky when the last
! carriage rolled away from Maennerchor
hall and the ninth annual cadet ball
was over.
The function which has been talked
of for weeks, the grand soiree of the
year, opened at half past s last even
ing. The ball room presented a strik-
ingly beautiful appearance. Never were
the national colors displayed with finer
effect. Flags of all sizes and in a great
variety of arrangement adorned the
walls. Among the flags cleaned sabre
stars, and pictures of Americas great
soldier heroes-Grant, Sherman, Sheri-
dan and o~thers-added to the military
effect. Over head was a labyrinth of
bunting in all patterns. Upon the
stage were flags and stacked guns. Di-
rectly above the stage were the letters,
~. w" in yellow upon a brown back
ground. From this were suspended fes-
toons of yellow and brown Several
pictures of the university gave a dis
tinctly local coloring. At the front Of
the hall. couches, easy chairs, screens
and rugs marked the position of the
reception committee, which was as fol-
lows: President and Mrs. Smiley, Cap
tain and Mrs. Gilkison, Captain Hous-
ton and Miss Knott. Captain Fitch and
Miss Willie Downey, Captain Sudduth
and Miss Stryker, Lieutenant Gilmore
Cheney, Sergeant Paulson and Miss

During the reception the following Sc
lections were rendered by the orches-
ira:
Ragged ~Rapscallions March,"

ton
Gilt Edge Overture"
Daughter of Love-
At the close OF the reception, the pro-
grams were distributed and were soon
filed. The programs, bearing an en-
bossed floral design, were a work of art
and contained twenty-one dances and
four extras. The grand march was led
by Mr.. p. c. Rauner and wife, followed
by Captain and Mrs. Gilkison, the ca
Diet officers in order Of rank, the cadet
~privates and the invited guests. Near
ly seventy couples were in line.

After supper, dancing was resumed
and continued until the last sweet

| away.
The assemblage was one of the most
brilliant eve witnessed in. Laramie,
The cadets were in full uniform and
|their blue suits, together with the black
evening;dres of the gentlemen guests,
formed a pleasing contrast with the
m~ulticolored hues of the ladies' CO.'S
tunes. The following is a partial de-
scriptive list Of the gowns worn:

London, Feb. 17.-Where is the Bocr
leader, General Cronje, and his l5.uu
to 20, 900 men?
Full as are Lord Roberts official dis
patches describing British movements,
this very important fact is not contain
ed in them. The cOmmander-in-chief
says that he has reason to believe that
the M~agersfontein trenches have been
abandoned and that the Beers are try
ing to escape. If this is the case it
seems strange that no word comes from
Lord Metnuen, who would naturally
o forward upon the first sign of
evacuation.
General French, it would appear, did
not actually enter Kimberley, but join
ed hands with Colonel Kckewich's gal
liant force at the deserted BOer posi-
ton at Acknowledgement, and then con-
tinued his advance to the north of the
city, where at last accounts ne was
sweeping the country. General Bah
ington. General Methuen's cavalry
commander, is probably doing the
same to the southwark.
What General Cronje will do with b
big guns during his retreat, which now
seems certain, is a matter of great in
terest. If they are mobile they may be
carried off by the Beers. If they are
only semi-mobile, they will probably

pleted communications between all
parts of General Roberts great force,
which on Thursday formed a great
semi-circle or three-quarters circle, ex-
tending from Kimberley to the Mod
der river drifts, thence to Jacobsdahl
and the Modder river station.
The arrival of General French at Al
eXandersfontein on Thursday complete
ly cut off the Boer line of retreat to the
east. and the only way remaining open
to the enemy was to the west. toward
the Vaal river.
General French apparently has as
his mission to move beyond Kimberly.

tween that town and the Naal. and

London, Feb. l7.-Kimberley has

outskirts of the town on Thursday ev-

Lord Roberts has established his
headquarters It Jacobsdahl. in the Or
ange Free State, the division I'M
der General Kenny-Kelly having been
pushed north to the Modder river
drifts.
Comparatively little resistance has
been met with. and, allowing for the
element of surprise. o]ccasioned by Gen
eral French's rapid movement, the re-
markable quiescence of the BOer forces
suggests at London the question.
Where is Cronje. with his $1,000 to 20
600 men? A large Boer convoy was oh
served moving toward Bloemfontein,
and Lord Roberts states he has reason
to believe the trenches at Magersfon-
TEN have been abandoned.

ANNUAL SNOW.

The warm days of August did not pass
away without a good air, the first a
ing one in months, which ended in a
snow storm among the mountains. A
most remarkable thing about the pres
ent storm is hat a year 6 on the same
date snow fell to the depth of three inches
among the mountains. Vincent
len of the Anaconda postoffice was the
first one to recall the instance. He says
he remembered the date so we'll on ac-
count of his being among the mountains
at Emery east of Deer Lodge and came
near being chilled to death on his way TO
Deer Lodge where he was provided with
winter wraps. Upon his return to Ana
conda, he made a record of the date to
prepare for future occurrences. 1este-
day morning when the sun was hot ana
heavy thunder clouds hung in the west,
Mr.. McMullen told his friends to look out
for snow and he was right, because the
mountains contained fresh snow before
the sun set.
