Up From the Ranks.

The history OF the lives of both Mr..
Bancroft. the retiring general manag ger
OF the Oregon Short Line, and OF L r..
Calvin. incoming head of the road, shows
tlat both men have attained their high
positions by working up from the ranks
Mr.. Bancroft entered the railroad game
as telegraph operator and ticket clerk in
1856. Mr.. Calvin began his career in 1878,
also as telegraph operator.
Mr.. Bancroft was employed first as Il
telegraph operator and ticket clerk for
the Michigan Southern railway Later
he became an operator and dispatcher.
In 1873 he was appointed superintendent
OF the Denver & Rio Grande and was ap-
pointed receiver of the road in 1884.
Later, when the finances of that road
were adjusted. he entered the employ Of
the Union Pacific In 1890. He was put IN
charge OF the mountain division OF the
Union Pacific, with the title of general
superintendent of lines west OF Chicago.
That was seven years before the Oregon
Short IAne was divorced from the Union
Pacific.
Previous TO his going with the Denver &:
Rio Grande he had been superin tendent,
chief clerk and train dispatcher for the
Kankas Pacific, assistant superintendent
OF the Santa Fe route, chief dispatcher Of
the Missouri. Kansas &. Texas and super
intendent OF the ST, Louis, Lawrence &
Western Railroad company.

Mr Calvin was born October 16, 1858,
in indianapolis. Ind He began railroad
ing I'm 1873 and for two years was te]e-
graph operator for tho Indianapolis, Gin
clnnati & Lafayette railway. He then

tendent OF the Missouri Pacific. On Feb

Many Candidates.

The irreprcssible Harry S. Joseph,
former speaker Of the lower house oil
the Utah legislature and twice defeated
for the congressional nomination, is
already emphatically in the field as
a candidate for the Republican nomlna-
tiou for congress in this district. Ben
ncr X. Smith, for the past eight years
Il member Of the state senate, and
candidate for the congressional nomlna~
ton last year, will probably also be
candidate. Friends Of w. Mont Ferry,
formerly president of the city council
and now member of the state senate,
are grooming him for the congressional
race.
The one candidate spoken of outside
of Salt Lake for the Republican nomi-
nation for congress from this district
is C.. z. Mabey of Davis county. My.
Mabey is member of the state legis-
lature and the author of the anti.rac-
ing law, which was enacted at the last
legislative session. Senator Henry
Gardner of Utah county, chairman of
the Republican state committee, has
been frequently mentioned as n possi-
bic candidate for congress, but it is
understood that he will keep out of the
congressional campaign and will be a
candidate for governor three years
hence.
Among the other prominent Repub.
licans being favorably mentioned as
candidates for congress are d. D..

Smoot Unopposed.

For United States senator no opposi-
tion to Senator Reed Smoot for the
Republican nomination has yet devel-
oped. Governor William Spry has been
frequently mentioned for the nomina
tion, but he has disclaimed any 6ena-
torial ambitions. Senator Smoot has
already announced that he will be q
candidate for denomination. Should
Governor Spry become a candidate for
United States senator and secure the
nomination it would be necessary for
him TO resign as governor, in which
event a governor would be chosen at
tary Of state would fill the vacancy
only until a candidate had been chosen
at the general election. However, at
this date, such contingency seems
unlikely, as 1t is considered hardly prob
able that the governor will oppose
Senator Smoot for the senatorial nomi-
nation.
The Democrats and Progressives are
considering IT a foregone conclusion
that Smoot will be renominated, and it
is understood that negotiations have al
ready begun looking to fusion be-
tween the two parties on candidate
10 oppose Smoot A suggested plan
that is said to be meeting with favor
is an arrangement whereby the Pro-
gressives would indorse the Democratic
and the Democrats Progressive can
didate for congress. The fusion plan
as at present contemplated by some of
the Democrats and Progressives ex-
tends no further. though it Is believed
to be possible that complete fusion
on county and legislative tickets might
be effected.

The counties comprising the, Second

rest of the state is in the First congres'
slonal district. Congressman Joseph
Howell is a resident of Cache county
and Congressman Jacob Johnson resi-
dent of Sanpcte county, both counties
being now in the First district.
Though the nominating conventions
are several months distant, some of the
aspirants for congress arc already feel

their candidates. later, should they
meet with sufficient encouragement.
The consensus of opinion appears to be
that the congressman from the Second

DIDN'T LIKE RED TAPE
An Incident in kitchener's khartoum
Campaign.

II was in the Khartoum campaign
that Lord Kitcheners adherence to
red tape was first impressed upon
whom it concerned. A certain general
who may be called Fussyman, insisted
upon Issuing daily order with all due
forms and ceremonies. So importunate
was he that in sheer WEAKNESS Kitch-
ener at last dictated an order. Buoyed
up by a blissful sense of Importance
Fussyman hurried off to have it duly
copied, registered, duplicated, sealed
signed and delivered in the good old
style Meanwhile Kitchener strolling
out, accidentally met Broadwood, his
cavalry commander.
"Oh, Broadwood," exclaimed Kitch-
ener in his softest drawl, will you
kindly take four squadrons and a
couple of guns and push on forty miles
to clear up the situation, and start in
half an hour?'
VERY good. sir"
AS the cavalry was jingling out of
camp Fussyman came out of his tent
with the order of the day. Upon find

1.-The daily press is giving US some
timely Information just now about the
foot and mouth disease which is prim-
arily disease of cattle and econsdar-
lily of man. 1t may be transmitted to
man through the medium of raw milk,
or milk products from diseased ami
mails. Children are especially suscep-
tible to the infection and though it
is troublesome and undesirable for
them, it usually assumes mild form
in children. Thus far, no cases of the
foot and mouth disease have been re-
ported in this State. Even if cases
should be found among us, there would
be no need of disseminating the use
of milk, that article of food which is
so valuable and for SO many children
so indispensable. The same rule
which would apply to the use of milk
when there is possibility of its con-
tanning infection of typhoid fever.
scarlet fever, or diphtheria, should be
applied when the supply of milk for
the home comes from source which
is not entirely free from the suspicion
of the infection of foot and mouth
disease-that is, the milk should be
brought to the point of boiling or
should be pasteurized."
