My Dear Blalock:-I wish TO take
this opportunity to thank you for the
gift received before leaving Wyoming,

seeming negligence sickness in the

ings of this display of love and esteem
and / assure you that my pleasure Is
greater than l can describe and should
the opportunity ever present itself l
shall gladly reciprocate. Kindly ex-
press this sentiment to my many
friends and say to them that am slow
ly, but surely, recovering my health
and hope to be able to again thank
them all personally. Sincerely,
w. A. WHITNEY.

COMPANIES
NOT UNITED
UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD AND in
ION PACIFIC COAL COMPANY
ARE SEPARATE.
One Was in Incorporated in Wyoming
in 1890 and the Other in Utah in
1897-General Solicitor Does Not
Fear Trouble from the Proposed
Suit by Thomas In Omaha.

John N. Baldwin, general solicitor for
the Union PACING, returned Monday
from a weeks trip to Denver and To
peka and was much benefited, says the
Omaha Bee. MIR. Baldwin said he had
received no copy of any complaint
which is alleged to have been filed by
e. E. Thomas, an attorney of Omaha,
in the matter of the Union Pacific Coal
company before the interstate com
merce commission.
while some of the same men may
be interested in both the Union Pacific
Railroad company and the Union Pacif.
ic Coal company, they are entirely sep
arate and distinct corporations said
Mr.. Baldwin. THE Union Pacific rail
road has never denied any one an equal
footing and equal rights when in the
same plane and sphere n we ed not
consider Mr.. Thomas company on the
same basis as the Union Pacific Coal
company. The coal company is much
the older of the two companies and was
incorporated in 1890 under the laws OF
Wyoming, while the Union Pacific Rail
road company was not incorporated un'
til 1897 under the laws of Utah, after
it came out of the hands of the receiv'
er. They are different corporations,
incorporated in different states"
