1t is claimed that the Moffat road
will be running trains to Boulder
park within three months.

practical route for a railroad entering
Hot Sulphur Springs from the south
east, provided the railroad construct
new wagon road over the hill which
has been agreed to:
The grading for the track will be
completed to Hot Sulphur Springs
this fall but the rails on the portion

A Miraculous Escape.

On Friday July II as Mr.. Burch,
the mail carrier between Ransely
and Green River, endeavored to
ford White river near the state line,
the current overturned his wagon,
his horses were drowned, and the
wagon together with the mail sacks
and few other articles were all lost
In the river. Mr.. Burch was carried
$50 or 800 yards down the stream
when he managed to swing on to y
willow over-hanging the. water and
THUS got to shore. Mr.. Burch Is
nearly so years of age and unabls to
swim and he was exceedingly fortu-
nate to escape with his life.
AT last accounts horses, wagon or
mail pouches had not been found. 1t
seems the river had risen somewhat
since he had last crossed and he did
not notice the change.

KING EDWARDS CHEF.
Cook Who Gets Some $4,000 .
Year.

An admiral of the English fleet or a
lieutenant general of the army gets no
larger salary than King Edwards
chef.
This remarkable functionary draws
$4,000 a year.
He is native of southern France
and his name is Menager. His age is
about forty and he is considered, at
least by King Edward, the most ca
pable chef in the world,
SO great a culinary artist is not eX-
pected to produce three masterpieces
in one day, so he has nothing to do
with the kings breakfast He arrives
at Buckingham palace from his pri-

about II o'clock.
In a large, sunny kitchen, overlook
ing the lawns, he receives the luncheon
carte, drawn up by Lord Farquhar, and
his work begins. First of all he or
ders what will be required, and the
master of the kitchen sees that all
the articles come in, checks each
item. and then sends the account to
Sir Nigel Kngscote, the paymaster,
who writes out a check in payment.
After luncheon is served M. Mena-
ger retires once more, to reappear at 6
o'clock, when the great event of the
day-the preparation for dinner
commences. That over, the artist is
| free for the evening 1t is worth not
ing that he owes his enviable post
solely to hard work and-genius, for
| the cook. like the poet, is born, not
made. An additional interest attaches
to this culinary autocrat because of
the encouragement he gives to women
! cooks.
1t has always been said that women
cannot attain to great heights as cooks
and creators of dishes, and that, just
as they fail to excel in music, poetry
and painting, they fail also in the high
err mysteries of cooking. 1t is very in
teresting to learn. on the testimony OF
the kings cook. that this is no longer
true. however true it may have been
formerly.

PAYMENT IN ADVANCE.

Pittsburg, Feb. 12.-An important
feature in the interstate mining agree
ment is officially announced here by
District President Dolan. 1t provides.
for the payment in advance of wages
to union men only, and on April l.
when it takes effect, miners who are
not members of the united mine work
ers will not participate in the increase
granted by the operators.
Dolan said this was decided IN the
committee, but was not announced
when the agreement was given out.
The president was asked if trouble
was not likely to occur among the I'LL
organized men and he said the organ
lied men would be able to prevent q
strike. In the Pittsburg district there
are over 10000 miners and of this
number $4,000 are claimed by the
united mine workers union.

A secret agreement Is said to have

whereby Germany promised to secure

Britain.
President Roosevelt refused TO act as
arbitrator of the differences between
the allies and Venezuela, and 1t now
looks as If the matter of preferential
treatment would be referred to The
Hague, though Ambassador Herbert

that the outcome cannot be predicted.

young women who afterward doubt

was a cadet at West Point, was en-
gagged to Miss Kate Lowe of Batavia,
Ohio, who afterward married a Mr..
Rotheray and when last heard from
was living in Jersey City. Up till
the time of his return from Mexico
Grant is believed to have been en-
gagged to Miss Lowe but they had a
falling out for some reason and he
never explained the cause.
Gen. Grant was also engaged at one
time TO a Miss King of Georgetown,
Ohio, who afterward became Mrs.
John Talford and during the war liV-
ed at ThibadeauX, La. When Grant
became president some mutual friend
recalled her to his memory and told
him that she was reduced to destitu-

the destruction of his property by the.

ception of the few minutes in which
some routine business was transacted,
the session of the senate today was
behind closed doors. In the eXecu-
tive session Senator Morgan CRITICS
ed nearly all the provisions of the
Panama canal treaty. He dwelt at
length on what he termed the unreli-
ability and revolutionary character of

ed that $10,000,000 cash payment to
Colombia was exorbitant He declared
a recent chief executive of Colombia
has sold out and abdicated for 81 ,00O,-

to an agreement with such an unre.
liable institution as the Colombian
congress. Senator Cullom explained
a number of the provisions Of the
treaty which Senator Morgan had
the administration. Adjournment was
suggested, hut Senator Quay declared
that in the interest of the statehood
bills he would not yield another day
