ARMY RETIRENiENTS.
House Military Committee Defeated
Its Own Purposes.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 2S.-The
final outcome of the discussion on the
subject of army retirements is await
ed with considerable interest in army
circles. The purpose Of the house
military committee to prevent promo
tion and the immediate retirement Of
officers of high rank will not be real
lied by the clause incorporated In the
annual army bill by that committee.
The provision Is so worded that the
requirement that no officer above
the rank of colonel shall be retired
ION his own application" until he
shall have served at least one year In
such rank was evidently intended by
the committee to prevent imme date
retirement of officers of the grades of
colonel, brigadier general and major
general who might be advanced, and
who must serve at least one year in
the higher grade. OF course, the
same rule applies to officers below the
grade Of colonel who become briga-
dier generals for the purpose of re-
tirement for higher grade and in
creased pay.
If the intention of the committee
prevailed now, 1t would be impossible
| to promote the three line officers who
were recently made brigadier generals
and to retire them Immediately. The
committee defeated its own object
however, by inserting the words ION
his own application" This makes a
limitation which can easily be avoid
ed, as officers need not apply for re-
tirement, and they will still be eligible
to promotion and immediate retire
| ment.

This is the biggest contest ever In
augurated In the United States. There
Is no other house in the West that
could AFFORD to attempt a contest of
this magnitude-in fact there are prob
ably not more than three concerns in
this country whose business is extern
sive enough to warrant so gigantic
contest for the purpose of publicly.
The Northwest Is witnessing most
phenomenal growth. Hundreds of fam
lilies are coming here daily to make new
homes. We want every one of these
good people to know Eilers Piano
House, its methods, its pianos and its
money-saving facilities to the buyer
Just as people who have lived here for
years know them.
During the year just closed the total
sales of Eilers Piano House exceeded
the one and half million-dollar mark.

preceding year. During 1906 we want
to reach the grand total of S,O0.0O

aside beforehand l per cent u cent

business for the purpose of bringing

WILL BEAR
ITS SHARE
UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COM.
PANY NOT OPPOSED TO PRO-
POSED ISSUE OF BONDS.
Will Willingly Pay the Tax Necessary
to Meet the Interest n Expenses
of the Bond issue, and Mayor Civ
en- Assurance That New Pipe Line
Will Be Laid.

Mayor Mckee, in conference with
Judge j. w. Lacey of Cheyenne, the
head of the legal department of the
Union Pacific in Wyoming, a few days
ago, referred to in The Republican on
Wednesday, was told by Judge Lacey
that not only was the Union Pacific
not opposing the proposed bond issue.
but would be willing to bear its just
burden of taxation for the interest on
the debt to be contracted, as outlined
in the plan submitted by the council.
The railroad company, Judge Lacey
gave Mayor Mckee to understand, be-
lieves something should be done to in
crease the supply of water for the citi-
zens of the city. The company has all
the water it can reasonably need under
the present system, and would not con-
sent to being taxed for the payment of
the debt, believing this should be
borne by the private of wa
ter, but it will do and has done all
needful things to bring the city to
the place it should occupy in the state.
New Grand Avenue Main.
"The railroad company, l am sure"
said the mayor, will replace the pres
ent Grand avenue main. Judge Lacey
told me that he would so recommend,
the size of the pipe to be determined
by the engineering department. 1t will
be large enough to meet the needs OF
the proposed lateral system. The en-
gineers told Judge Lacey that this pipe
would cost close to 100000, which the
railroad company will incur when it
comes to do the work. Besides, we are
assured that the company will make
a handsome freight rate reduction on
material to be purchased by he city.
Just when the new main Will De
laid depends somewhat upon the &C
ton of the people tomorrow. The
company will take no action until the
bond issue is determined upon, and If
thai be favorable, l am assured there
will be no delay. The company said
it desires to see Laramie expand and
is willing to spend in that direction
more than the city itself to furnish an
adequate supply of water for present
and future needs. The people should
bear in mind hat the railroad COM
pany is for a Greater Laramie"

EXTENSIVE CHANGES

this morning, and will remain closed
for nearly a fortnight, while some ex-
tensive changes are being made. Leo
Jacobs, the general manager, is pres
ent, and will superintend the work,
which will be done by w. A. Marvin.
The changes contemplate the installa-
ton of four new and larger kettles
and a Burney drying machine, making
it possible to manufacture plaster from
dirt heated to $40 degrees instead of
$50, as at present, a saving in time and
a large increase in the capacity of the
plant. The smokestack will be length
ened to give greater draft to the fur
naces.
