"An Interesting fact exists In th. move ment ot United State troop to th. various concentration camps," said Colonel John Van R. Hoff. chief surgeon of the Depart ruent of the Mlaaourl, Friday morning, "In thai the entire American army la now on the "move by rail or marching to th various iUifiWbt mMiHigatton. " The ctrctrrnBtancs is un unusual and at the Mm. time an In tel e Ung one. This of course applies only to the troops stationed In the United States. The only exception la the coast artillery 'suitloncd In th. roust defenses." The Interest of this statement Is borne out by the' fact that Seven concentration camps have been established at various j oints throughout the United Statea. They are located at Mount Aetna, Pa.; Indian- -uixilla. Ind., and Chlrkamauga, Tenn., for the troops of the Departments of th. East and Atlantic coast states; at Forts Riley. Kan., and D. A. Russell, Wyo., tor the central western states; Austin, Tex., for the southern and gulf states, and at Amer ican Lake, Wash.,- for th. Pacific coast and mountain states. In addition to th. regular army troops the state mtlltla organisations of nearly all th. states will Join In these ramp, of mo bilisation In their respective vicinities. Only about 111 per cent of the regular troops are left In garrison to look after th. gov ernment property at th. various posts. Thise campa ot mobilisation, concentration and Instruction will continue until Oc tober L Leaving fort Niobrara. Th. Twenty-fifth United States Infantry waa due to leave Fort Niobrara Friday for Its new stntlon In the Department of Text There has been a delay in th. departure of th. command owing to a wreck near Craw ford,'. Neb., Intercepting th. movement of th. accessary ears enroute to Valentin for th. transoortatlon of th regiment. It Is expected that the regiment will move Sat urday. Th. regiment and Ita equipment will Involve th. shipment of about j0,0u0 pounds of freight. There cam. near being a hitch In the proceeding. In th. matter of the shipment of th command over the Northwestern, which haa the contract from Valentine to Omaha. It appears that th. Northwestern waa rather Indisposed at first to provide cars for th. through trip, prefer ring to unload th. command her. at Omaha from Ita own rara. and require a reahlp- ment over th. Burlington In Its own oars to Texas, the" Burlington having been awarded the contract from Omaha to Kan sas City, and th Missouri, Kansas & Texas from Kansaa City to Texas. The proposition involved an additional expense of several thousand dollar to the govern ment which It did not propose to Incur. Hence th conclusion waa reached by th government to march the regiment from Valentine on the Northwestern to Seneca on the Burlington, a distance of seventy mllea, and then route through Texas over the Burlington. A soon aa this conclusion was reached the Northwestern rather than lose It contract from Valentin to Omaha decided to comply with the original agree ment. . The regiment will not go td Austin, as recently Intended, but will be taken to the different posts to which It ha been as signed by the original oider directing the removal of the regiment from this depart ment. ' Commissary Inatrartloaa. Captain Lawrence B'. Slmonda, U. S. A- commissary of subsistence, was . a visitor at. department headquarters Friday prepar atory to assuming charge a chief commis sary at the camp of concentration near Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo. He wa here familiarising himself with hi duties and to receive further instruction from Briga dier General T. J. Wlnt, commanding the department, relative to th. commissary supplies for that camp. The Tenth battery United States Light artillery, which with the Thirtieth battery stsrted on the march from Omaha to Fort Riley Monday, having arrived here by rail from Fort 6nelllng. Is one of the rnpst not- ble batteries of the United States army. This battery was the. one under command of Captain Kellly that fought It way to Peking, China, for the relief of the allied legations. Captain- Kellly, It commander. wa killed on the wall of Peking while making the assault. The battery remained at Peking nearly a year a one of the le gation guards. The artillery battalion camped at Wahoo Thursday night on Its 'march to Fort Riley. The trip thus far has been without inci dent. The command I expected to reach Fort Riley In about ten days from leaving Omaha. . Signal Corps Goes to Indianapolis. Company B. Signal corps, United States army, under command of Captain Cunning ham, will leave Fort Omaha Saturday morning for the camp of concentration near that city. A detachment of Company D ha already gone to the Department of Texas for duty at the camp of concentration at Austin, and another detachment of Company D ha gone to the concentration camp near Fort IX A.

FEEDERS FOR UNION PACIFIC Harriman to Build Importaat Branch Lines in Nebraska. ONE FROM BEATRICE TO GRAND ISLAND Another Will Be from Omaha to Kaaaaa City by War ' of Ltneola aad Topeka. . Harriman 1 again branching out with new Unci, and thla time right In Ne braska. The latest line to be projected by the Union Pacific system la one from Beatrice to Grand Island. Th Union Pacific haa announced Its policy of building feeders wherever practicable,- and this Una would . not .' only be :' feeder running through one of th. rich -part - ot th state, but would also form a splendid con nection for business from th west to Kansas City. This might not work to the advantage of Omaha, but this city ha nothing to fear from . the Overland Una In th way of discriminations against this city, tor It I well established that the Interest of the Union Pacific center more In Omaha aa the gateway to the weat than In any other city. ' t ' The union farinc la now working on a line from Omaha. to Kansaa City which would make a good night's run between the two cities, and, besides, runs through tho capitals of two state. Lincoln and Topeka. The Kansaa part of the line la being constructed by a branch cutoff from Topeka to Maryaville, and surveys are at work on the line from Omaha to Lincoln. The line from Beatrice to Orand Island would run through the counties of Hamil ton. York, Fllmore and Saline, adding Just that much territory to th great Union Pacific aytem.

REQUEST OF GRAIN EXCHANGE REFUSED Road Kow la Poaltloa of Msklsg a Rat. tbat Dlsrrlaalaat.a Against ' Omaha aa Grata Grown la Nebraska. Th. Omaha Grain exchange has asked tit. Rock Island road to do the same thing for Omaha aa against Kansas City that It has done for Kansaa City a against Omaha. That road say It cannot. In other words, when It became evident to the Grain exchange that Vice President W. B. Biddle of the Rock Island road could not be persuaded to withdraw hia "equali sation" plan for diverting from Omaha to Kansaa City Nebraska grain destined to Memphis the exchange proposed to the Rock Island that It make a similar "equali sation on Kansas wheat destined to Min neapolis, to be routed via Omaha, on the basis of the Kansaa City rate. This meant an exact duplicate, except that It would be for the benefit of Omaha, of the Kansas Clty-Memphls equalisation. The road re fused to grant the privilege In a letter, from which the following extract la taken: Will state that we do not recognise the principle (of equalisation) as a whole, but we did recognise that, in the Memphis case, it wsa exceptional from the feet tlist the business waa moving via Kansaa City and all that the Kansas City shippers asked waa that they might have the privilege of handling It through the, elevator at that point. Pelat Rot Well Takes. In this paragraph the point Is mad that th equalisation principle is not recognised as a whole, but only to the benefit of tile Kansaa City market, and that the busi ness was already moving by Kansas City. Grain men say the statement regarding the latter Is not true. All points In Nebraska on and south of the main line of the Union Pacific are affected by the equalisation, and th Union Pacific tariff from those point to Memphis specifically routes the grsln by way of Omaha. It Is the fact that it waa moving by Omaha which brought the "equalisation." On what other grounds, ask the local shippers, wa Mr. Blddle's plea that he waa obliged to extend the territory from which th "equalisation ap plied because his former action did not give Kansas City the relief anticipated?" 'Biddle Says' It's Sentiment. The Rock Island people aay there is more sentiment thai hurt In the situation for Omaha, and It 1 shown by the fact that very little Nebraska grainjias been secured for the 'Frisco since July 1, when Mr. Bld dle' plan went Into effect. That this Is true la to the Credit of the Omaha grain men, who have been compelled to bid up for the grain In th South Platte, and who say they have paid as high as 2 cents -a bushel more than th market warrant In order to bring the grain by way of Omaha.
