The Memorial bridge and Other I'm
provements ~ Washington Dis
cussed by Henry Watterson.

Col. Henry Watterson, who came to
Washington several days ago on private
business, was approached by the officers OF
the executive citizens committee on the
Grand Army encampment and invited to
become member Of a special committee
on the laying of the corner stone OF the
Memorial bridge. He accepted at once, and
manifested deep interest, not only In the
Memorial bridge project, but in the forth
coming encampment Of the Grand Army.
This morning he was seen by a reporter of
Inc Star and asked to express his opinions
on the two matters
What OF the coming encampment Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic and the sug
gest1on of the old confederates participant
Ing In this?" asked the Star representative.
Before all else,' said Mr.. Watterson, II
have wished to see the rehabilitation Of the
southern states in the Union and the res
toratiOn OF peace between the once war
ring sections of that Union. The men who
fought the battles Of the sectional war
long ago settled all the old scores. The
Confederate Veterans Association and the
Grand Army of the Republic have become
largely eleemosynary institutions. Hitherto
they nave held their annual encampments
apart. The time has arrived, think, when

their old bones together on common
ground. and what common ground more
appropriate than the capital Of the nation,
the common property Of all of us? I un-
derstand that several confederate camps
nave signified their willingness to join in
the contemplated patriotic festival, and
this Is of excellent augury.
Ihere are many things hereabout to vi
talize 1t, to illustrate 1t, to signalize it and
make 1T significant. The country wants
and needs to obliterate sectional politics OF
every description and wherever 1t appears.
The young men of the country, sons and
grandsons of the men who wore the blue
and the gray, have no knowledge Of the
passions that divided their progenitors.
The war Of sections is to them not a
memory. but a history, like the wars OF
the Medes and Persians. Only self-seeking
partisans and belated bigots would re-
open wounds which, soothed by the good
sense and good feeling Of the people, were
officially healed when little, old, fighting
joe and Fftz Lee were restored by Will
lam Mckinley to the regular army.
"Everywhere our southern boys are wear
ing the blue, and proudly wearing it. Why
should we not-all Of us-join in making
the ceremonies next October national In

FREIGHT OFFICIALS OF ST. PAUL
CHICAGO LINES MEET IN
CONFERENCE HERE
SAID TO BE SATISFACTORY
milwaukee and NORTHWESTERN Traf-
fc Men Are Reassured, and
Rates Will BE Published
SoSn.

nartv of freight officials, represent
ing all the Chicago-St Paul lines, were
in conference at the Great Northern and
Omaha offices yesterday in regard to the
new freight rates recently agreed upon
by the Great Northern and Northern Ia
cific roads.
The party included, besides the !ocai
freight officials, Vice President Miller
of the Burlington: General Trathc Man
ager ]. II. Highland of the Milwaukee;
President Whitcomb, OF the Wisconsin
Central; Assistant General Freight Agent
SewaH, of the Milwaukee, and NUMBER
of other traffic men.
The conference met at the the Great
Northern offices in the morning, ana III
the afternoon adjourned to the Omaha
offices The fact developed during the
conference that the territory affected by
the reductions is not as large as was at
first supposed.
The officials of the Northwestern and
the Milwaukee, however. evidently feel
that the figures are about right, as the
reductions on Southwestern business are
not nearly so large as those on business
west of ST. Paul.
A local freight official said last night
that the conference had taken no action,
but that the rates would undoubtedly be
published, which may be taken to mean
that they will be agreed to by all the
roads.
The conference will continue today
and possibly tomorrow.

UNION PACIFIC PLANS.
Road viii Spend About $25,OOO,OOO
in improvements.

The plan of railroad campaigning to
be carried out by the Union Paclhc
road during 1902 was given out official
ly recently, and will result in the eX-
pen6iture Of from $25O00,0 00O to $30,OO0O0O in
improvements and extensions. 1t is
continuation of the general plan of put
ting the road in the best possible physi-
cal condition between Omaha and San
Francisco, but the efforts this year will
be directed almost wholly to that part
of the road west of Salt Lake and Og-
den and the Oregon Short Line. Twenty
millions alone will be used in improve
ments of these lines, and the remainder
in pushing the extension of the Salt
Lake-Los Angeles branch of the Ore
gon Short Line, which will be nearly or
quite completed before Jan. 1 next.
Particular attention, however, will be
given to the extensions and Improvement
on the part of the Short Line which
competes with the Hill system.
The prime object, it is stated, is to put
the road in q position to control the i'm
mense trade with the Orient which is
expected to be opened up by the new
conditions in the East and in Hawaii.
This trade is already beginning te reach
formidable proportions, and the Union
Pacific, it is stated is preparing to meet
the competition of the Northern lines.
That part of the roadway between Oma-
ha and Ogden has been put in prime
condition by the expenditure Of several
million dollars in improvements annual
ly for the past five years. The greater
part of this money has been used in
Strengthening out crooks and cutting i'm
mense HIS and tunnels, thus reducing
grades to g degree that can be overcome
by the large engines without assistance
The Union Pacific has long since de-
cided that it must have a fast line to
90 in 70 tai, r.
hold on the Oriental trade" said the
official who explained the proposed plan.
That traffic is becoming greater every
year. and 1t was some years back that
this scheme for a complete overhauling
of the system was adopted
THE plan has been steadfastly adhered
to, so that now there is the finest kind
of railroad from Council Bluffs to Og-
den. For that much of the way we now
make fast time, but as soon as we get
past Ogden we are compelled to slow up,
and maintain the reduced speed all the
rest of the journey. improvements on
this line will be in the nature of reducing
grades, taking out certain curves and
Iessening others and reballasting the en-
tire line.
These improvements will fix us for the
oriental trade, which is something enor-
nous especially from the Philippines and
Japan They will also cover Central Cal
ltornia satisfactorily. The other arm of
the work, meanwhile, VIII be looking TO-
ward TIE improvement Of facilities for
getting into the Southern California bust
ness. The Southern Pacific improvements
are far the most important, since thew
nave bearing directly on the gateway
business but this extension of the ore
gon Short Line to Los Angeles is alec
big proposition
1T will require between 500 and 6oo
miles more to reach Los Angeles, and II
IS hardly probable that this can be com
pleted IN 1902, although the effort will he
