Ono of the Incorporators Is Oeorge n. Tcck. Krom the fact that hn Is general coun- PC ! fcr the Milwaukee railroad It Is argued by sonio that the Milwaukee road la going to build a line to the gulf. Fred A. Nash , Ktnornl western agent of the Milwaukee , nnd fcn olllclal who Is known to stand very clpso to the executive officers of the compiny , takes no stock In such a report. Just before leaving for Chicago ln ! t evening he said to The Dec "liccaute the name of Mr. I'eck appears as ono of the Incorporators It does not at all follow that the Milwaukee road i going to build a line to the Kulf There are two reasons why 1 do not believe the report ; first , no western railroads are at present In n posi tion to make such extensions , and sccondlj , the capitalists back of the I'lttsburg & Oulf aru largely Interested In the Milwaukee.

Corerul Inquiry discloses the fact that the Union Pacific docs not know when wo k will ho coirtnenced on the permanent pasncnger Btatlon tlmt will bo erected oti the north fildo of the company's tracks cast of Tenth street. Pnwldenl Hurt referred the ijuory to the legal department and that department In turn txissed It on to the engineering doj < irt- inont Clilof Kiiglnw Herry eild that lie could not tell whether work would be begun within sixty days , a provided by tlio city council , or not Ho bald tlat the work ot construction would bo commenced Just as soon as possible and tint everything that Preildont Hurt had promised the tlty through the council would bo cairlcd out to the letter. Stoice the action ot the council there have been no nc'v dcv elopmonts In the depot matter. The preliinlnai ) vv K toward tlio corstruc- tlon of a temporary depot by the Union Pa cific Is going along without dplay and every effort will bo made to Imve tbo tramp struc ture completed In time for the Union Pacific to move Into it when the present sheds are torn down. At present It looki ) us though this event would bo accomplished between April If and May 1. The Hurllngton people eay that Contiactor Field has agcpcd to cctnplcto their now depot by April lr and there Ifl a forfeiture clause providing a penalty for each day's dcliy after that time Tdo open winter has greitly fuvnred the con- ptructlon of the building , which has now reached the stngo for roof construction. Some of the big Iron truKsew to support thereof roof were swung In place on Tuesday. Aside .from the building ot omo partition walls there las been tie Interior work yet dene , but as soon as the building Is under cover this work will ho apecdlly pushed fctward , No announcement of the plans of the "Union Pacific's temporary depot has been made. In fact , the oniclals positively de cline to give out eiiy description of the proposed structure. It Is known that It will bo constructed of frame material throughout , and will consist of two portions , each 2SxlC3 feet. As the engineering de- jiaitment carefully made measurements ot all the otalla In the present shack before de ciding on the elze of the temporaly frame structure. It Is presumed the arrangement of ticket ofllcra. waiting rooms aod baggage rooms In Jhc- structure that Is about to be built will bo similar to that of the depot that has done eervlco for the last eight years , and the general style of architecture will not bo greatly different from that of tha old shed , which Chauncey M. Depew sarcastically called "classic" on the oc casion of his lost visit here. lIlIblMlSS "WAS GOOD nnllrouiln Ilriiort llpnvy Traffic In llutli Freight nnd 1'imneiiKern. Reports from all weatern railroads are to the effect that their business for the month of Tcbruary was away ahead of that trans acted during February , 1837. Business dur ing the winter month on western roads Is never very brisk , but this year there are a number of lines th it are complaining of the ehortago ot cars. The Missouri Pacific In this district le short 400 cars , while the Hur- lliiBton is shy 1,000 cars right In this terri tory , an < 1 an olllclal of the Union Pacific re cently said that the 1.1GO new cars Just or dered by President Hurt could not bo deliv ered hero any too quick to accommodate tbo if i eight tralllo of the road. Not only In thcro a largo movement ol grain out of Nebraska and Kansas , but there 1s a corresponding westbound movement of freight that Is keeping all the lltics fairly liusy. J. M. Oursler , the Union Pacific's freight agent ot Council Bluffs , reports that the freight movement out of thcro Is the greatest that it has been at this season of the year for five years past. All the- Imple ment houses ot Council Iluffs are busy send ing out agricultural Implements to the farm ing communities. On an average the Union 1'aclfio Is taking seven carloads of agricul tural Implements out ot Council Dluffs dally , and It ha been for sonio time. The rosscngcr business is slid to bo moder ately good. Uotli the Union Pacific and the Burlington railroads report that their now fast trains recently placed In service are doing splendidly on local business. U\on If tlio through business on those trains amounted to nil , the local business between the smaller towns an ] from the lessor points to tin prlncli xl cities would bo sufllclent to keep the trains In service for sonio time. It cannot be said that the amount ot through bunlt.oss between Chicago and Deliver In olther direction Is enormously large , but tbo great amount ot local travel U exceeding all expectations.

Low la Williams , manager of the Cleve- and Car Service as oclatlcii was the ilrst witness. Ho had hardly taken the stand when a discussion arose on the request of the -lomplnlnatits that the association books and ecords dating back to November 13 , 1SS9 jo brought before the commissioner. Wll- lams subsequently testified that ho did not object to producing the books. He said the association's records were open. The testimony of Aaron Goodman cad H U. Slmson. former employe. ! of the car fierv- : co association , was tal < rm. It was to the L-ffcct that the association strictly enforces upon the small shippers n rule impailug warehouse charges for allowing goods to re- naln In cam unloaded longer than- specified : lme , while no such charge la made upon the. lieavy shippers. The Strauss hearing Is < ts measure a tes aoe. Further proceedings In the other In- atarices will depend somewhat on the decision In the Strauss case. Jt la an open secret thdl the smnllor shippers hope that the end of the matter will bo that the Interstate Commerce commission will dissolve car as soclatlcoa throughout the country. i > .ivi2 YOIJXG MIH ; < ; III .IM llnploiiHiint ] : xivrleiief irlth ii > inoii on HIM \Vnj Homo.

ThM is a good time for experienced nun to go Into business , t know one man who started to raising shocp In a wnall way about flvo jcars ago. Ho had no capital to begin with , but understood the business and was a good manager. A short time ago he refused $10.000 for hl outfit. Of course an lne\pcrlens.cd man might limo lost more than that amount In the same time. "the sheep business has become so large In central Wyoming that cattle lia\o left the ranges almost entirely Most of the big cattle companies lm\u drawn out of that part of the county and there Is no longer any trouble between > the sheep and cattle men like there used to be. The sheep herd ers are a much better class of fellows than formerly. Tew Mexicans ure hired now nnd better salaries are paid to the men. Plrst class food Is furnished to the men also Of coureu all this makes the etpeni < ro much heavier , but It Is found to pay In the long run. "Wjomlng Is being freed of the thieves that h-i\f Infested It for several jears These fellows are mostly old cntv punchers , who know the country Uioroughl ) and can tislly cheapo pursuers. They have been In 'tho habit of holding up travelers and ranchnun , and occasionally hold up a stage. One gang near Cusper wao crlled the Hole-ln-tho-will gang They had hiding places over In the Ilig Horn country In a cliff about thlrtj miles long and so steep nnd rough that there are only two or three places where men who do not kno s the coun.rj thoroughly can get over. Uut it got t-o hot for this gang that they have left. "Oisper la a small pluce , only 1,000 or 1,200 people , but It Is an extremely busy place , in there Is so much shipping of sheep and wool. It Is the market for a great part of central Wjomlng and will be particularly busy during the next six weeks as It Is the spring clipping time. " "The signs of prosperltj are visible every where one goes uml c-upecially In the agri cultural nnd grazing regions west of here , " cald H W. Campbell of Sioux City , la. , who makes his business headquarters In this city. "I have Just returned from a journey through the western part of Nebraska and Kansas and eastern Colorado and I tell you that everything looks well out there. The farm ers are going to start the hcason with nn abundance of molstuio and the crop prospects wcro never better. I saw one thing tint I had not seen on other trips through the same part of the country and that was here and there a new farm house or a new birn , and all of them are good ones. At Wllson- vlllo , for example , In the western pirt of Xobraska , they told mo that during the months of January and February they had shipped out 100 carloads of fat cattle and they have at least as many more there t > eon to bo ready for the maikct. The same con dition of affairs prevails all through that country. The farmers are feeding stock and they are making monoy. They may have oul > a few head , but they have found that thu > can raise corn and feed the cattle and that is the way they aio succeeding. " "Tho Denver Cy9llng club has chartered a ship and will attend the Paris exposition In a body , " said William Carr of Denver , a member of the club who is at a local hotel. "Tho vessel wo have Is largo enough to ac commodate about l',200 people and arrange ments are made for rooma in Paris , hacks nnd all other details. The time limit In Eu rope Is to bu abailt three months , llftCon da } 3 of this tlmu to be spent In 1'arls at the expense of the club. The cost of the round trip passage.

It Is a po-vcr In Denver In many vvajs , plajlng a particularly active part In all municipal elections * The new club house that Is just completed cost $14,000 and is perfect In every particular. When one knows the flno condition of Denver's streets and the roads In the surrounding country and con siders that there are " 5,000 wheels used In Denver It Is easy to understand -why the wheelmen are so Influential In Denver. " ' 'Between floods and avalanches , " said D. T. Penron of Spokane , last evening at the Mlllard , "tho llttlo mining town of Monte Crlsto , In the state of Washington , seenir In a fair way to bo totally obliterated. U Is located In the heart of the Cascades and high ranges rise on every hand. The winter avtt- linches which como crashing down the slopes have been more frequent thin usual this winter and at present tha town is being hemmed In by a wall of Ice ad snow. Many ! ioues have been crushed completely. Some of them had been empty nlnco December nnd others were just vacated by families vvho saw their danger In time. On one particu lar night recently an Immense avalanche struck the rock clllt at the basa of the mountains with a crash that brought terror to the hearts of the already frightened In habitants. The flying debris demolished two cabins. The desolation of the situation Is Increased by the fact that the floods of last November washed away ten miles of the only railroad leading to the town , leaving It absolutely cut off from the outsldo world , except as trams get In and out , which is al most impossible owing to the deep snows. TliU has caused nearly all of the mines to shut down and a general exodus of the miners , reducing the population of the place to about 150 people.
