CLOSING CHAPTER.
Eleven Thousand Beers urrendered-Leaders
Bitter Against Europe.

Pretoria. June 13.-In all IL, 225
Beers have surrendered up to date.
Many are youngsters of ii years old
and upwards. The majority are under
30, though some are septuagenarians
Advices from all the districts say that
the burghers are increasingly friendly.
The only bitterness observable among
the leading Beers here is against France
and Germany. They declare the war
was protracted unnecessarily owing to
hopes held out by the French and Ger
man press. Some of the Beers are so
incensed that they have expressed the
hope that some day they will fight on
the side of the British against one of
these powers.
The anticipated friction between the
surrendered Beers and their former
comrades of the Natal scouts has not
materialiZed to any extent.
The Beers admit they received am
munition through Portuguese territory.
Gen. De Wet SAYS the youngsters
were his best fighters and frequently
held positions after the older burghers
had cleared out.
The Beers of the Orange River Col
ony, are handing in only small per-
centage of their ammunition. They
explain that they used more of it in
hunting game since the peace agree
ment was signed.
Addressing the surrendered Beers at
hrOnstaLdt, Orange River Colony, Gen.
Elliott said the only wish of King Ed
ward, his government and the British
people was to help the burghers and
get them back on their farms as soon
as possible. The king, the general
added, had telegraphed congratulations
TO the burghers on the good stand they
had made. This was greeted with lusty
cheers for the king and for Lord Kitch-
ener.

meeting of the board the letter of Gov
ernor Mcbride was read.

of Washington. Commissioner Black

YELLOWSTONE BY AUTOMOBILE
How Union Pacific Proposes TO Gather
In Some National Park
Tramc.

The Union Pacific system will probably
establish an automobile service between its
lines and the two great Montana parks, .
said a prominent Union Pacific Official yes
terday. The adoption OF some such radical
scheme is absolutely necessary If the Har-
riman interests are to compete successfully
with the Hill lines for that trade.
You see Hill can run stages over from
Cinnabar on the Northern Pacific to yell
lowstone park in a very short time, as 1t is
but seven miles distant. Our nearest sta
tion is Monida, on the Oregon Short Line,
fifty miles away from the park. In order
to compete at all we must establish a nov
city and a time-klller. Automobiles of
great power can be secured to make that
trip in half a day. The present stages take
almost three times that length Of time and
are tedious as we'll.
THE idea is that these automobiles will
be so alluring as vehicles for the mountain
wilderness Journey that people will prefer
to go fifty miles in them to seven in stages.
We have never attempted this before, or
anything like It, but the rivalry between
these two railroad interests is hercer now
than ever, and will be pursued everywhere
possible.
"of course It Is not necessary for us to
put in the automobiles to the Yosemite
park, as we already control that business
from the Southern Pacific. However. an
other automobile stage route there would
take we'll and would make things uniform,
and IL one is put in the other will be. In
Yellowstone park we may also use the
vehicles to tour the park. an additional
