HCW A TEAMSTER HANDLES HULES Passengers Invariably Carry Their Hearts in Their Mouths. TROOPER JENKINS ee DRIVES Etat Correspondent of The Evening Star. FORT DUCHESNE, Utah. ROOPER WILLIAM Jenkins was prepar- ing to start fer Fort DuChesne, when a passenger dropp2d off a Rio Grande and western irain at the ittle town of Price. It was 7 o'clock of a SS January morning, an¢ might be ex- pected, the phere was.

Then, too, you of collision for the risk ain by the transfer, tage driver said: “If the to upset, why, there but if the cars run off the track, v" Rut the probabilities of been reduced to the mi ambulances, for the driv- ected now and there was no mistake made when the au- thorities Issued a license to drive mules to ‘Trooper, William Jenkins of F of the Ninth Horse. During the ‘1 a private Ridge campaign of 18 the Ninth Cavalry was driving an am- ulance, in which were two of his officers. The road was very iey in_places, partic plarly on shady side hills. The driver who knows how to drive always gets over such spots with all reasonable rapidity, and sometimes and thus avoids wheels. But this Particular driver was ovei utious, and although repeatedly warned that safety was to be found in motion, continued to use the brake with more of freedom than good judgment. The result was an upset and two badly bruised officers, one of whom— now dead—outrankel the entire army in his powers of sarcasm. “Deed, sir, I couldn't help it; I was doin’ the bes’ I knowed how,” mumbled the driver when the ambulance was once more on its wheels. ‘That's all right,” replied the lieutenant; “you are in no sense responsible. No one can possibly blame you." And then, as a relieved look spread over the driver's face, he added: “Your Creator never. intended you to drive an ambulance; He meant you to shovel dirt.” There Are Worse Roads. Now, it should not be imagine] that the road from Price to Fort DuChesne ts the worst in the country. It cannot be com- pared with many of the trails that are common enough in the mining regions of Idako, and fs not worthy of mention on the same day as some of the select roadways in the Rocky mountain scction of British North America, but it is bad enough to dis- courage the most enthusiastic Good Roads Almost Over. all e. re bad roads in Virginia, and even d is not free from reproach, but ation, and it should be avoided b; persons who suffer from heart dis Th are scarce und Washington, and the chances for mishap are few. For teen miles from Price the objec- tionable features coi mmuiniy and chucks, but as ach, ced roc of 1 there ‘er to figure out the probabi eident. “iwo or three bad spots end you are about to no more when the am- ‘3 ad an un mfortably e and proceeds down hil! in a fashion which, metaphorically, s your heart into your mouth with force that you feel sure that only ightly-clenched teeth prevent that us ‘an from forsaking you and rolling into vehicle, just be- hind arhoard bow of the seat.

Suddenly the long ®hiplash cracks hke the report of a pistol, and the team straightens out so quickly that all present danger of collision between the leaders and the rear end of the ambu- lance 1s averted. Once more the whip cracks and the big wheels—with a bound that threatens to drop us to the creck bed fifty feet helow—jump into a rut which, gh though it was, was welcome as epringt'me blessoms. ‘hen you loose your dental grip upon the left ventricle and wallow your heart, at the same ti silently apologizing to Trooper Wil what cor Jenkins for ever having entertained the most 1. infinitesimal doubt as to Rough Traveling. Rut your faith is not long permitted to peace, for precisely at a point where the downward perpendicular view is with- cle for a hundred yards or so the els sink into a deep depression at moment when the near wheels are the perched high and dry upon an uncompro- mising rock. Ther2 does not appear to you to be any good reason why the rock should not be on the outside of the extremely nar- row trail; were it so, then a tip over would be nothing more than a. trifling tumble in the snow on the upper hillside, but as it is the outlook is gloomy. Shifting the center of gravity as much as possible you once more find yourself losing confidence in Jenkins, mainly because he won't move as far to the Icft of his seat as you have, but 2s a reasonable equilibrium is restored you conclude, as you disentangle your heart strings from your teeth, that familiarity with the road has given to Jenkins assu ances of safety not vouchsafed to the newcomer. At this point you extract a great deal of comfort out of the fact that a short distance ahead of you is the place is and canons | where but a day or so before a horse slip- ped, a wagon was cverturned and ti driver was killed. You see the spot wh you are far above ft, you note the disturb- ed condition of the snow, you remember that the unfortunate teamster’s head was crushed and you guess at the rock with which he so fatally collided. Then a mule slips and another cne stumbles over a pro- jecting stone. You aro decidedly of the opinion that either Jenkins or yourself will be sacrificed then and there, and. you.mick edly hope it will be Jenkins, because he does not appear to be concerned at his sur- roundin; being intent on basting his off- wheeler h a strap; that animal having given evidence of indifference to both the light whip and requests to “git epp.” But, beyond a marked increase in the off-wheel- er’s gait, nothing happens and you rein- state Jenkins on his Jehuislic throne, with an unexpressed hope that length of days and a successful reign be his. Strangely enough, though, you find yourself rather eager at times to tale the lines, so as to make as- surance doubly sure, and when the mules trot smartly around a perilous curve— dragging the ambulance down to what looks like inevitable destruction—you are inclined to question the accuracy of your estimate of Jenkins and you accuse your- self of overhaste in a matter of importance that did not call for a hurried conclusion, Not Wide Enough for Two. There are places in Soldier Canon where the road is wide enough to admit of two teams passing each other, but those “turn- outs” are really of no consequence because fate has ordained that no teams shall meet there nor overtake each other ther. As a rule they come together in the nar- rowest parts of the trail and thus conduce to profanity of the wildest and wooliest varieties. If the opposing wagons are heav- fly laden—and that 1s their normal condi- tion—then one of the outfits must be haule ed backward to a point where passage may be attempted with reasonable hope of s cess. Should one of the teams chance to be of the ambulance or buggy sort then it ha fo turn out. We turned out a couple c times, and at the same time we came near to turning over. Once we deficd all the commonly accepted laws of gravity, yet scrvived, much to the astonishment ef the teamsters, wno watched the mules teh up the side hill in front of and al obstructing teams and then slide dow: ciese to the tail gate of the fear w: and to eternity that the situation was cn- tirely devoid of humor. For a chang® we had a nice stretch of dusty road, succeeded by a mile or so of mud, with icy boulder so arranged as to interfere as frequentls as possible with hoofs and wheels. But Trooper Jenkins was imperturbable. No matter what the condition of the road he was phenomenally silent. The 2 rector of mules is given to boi nd to the fluent use of language in ex s that to the uninitiated harsh snd improper. But Trooper Jer Was not of that ciass. An cpp,” once in a while a shriil whistle, an Infrequent crack of the whip and a more frequent application of the strap to the inove vonyenient porticn of the off-wheel- er’s anatomy were the driver's only tributions to the sounding har c the excursion.

You stop at Lee's for the night, and in the morning you start out with a new stock of hopes and fears, in which Trooper Jenkins figures conspicuously. For awhile there is modified wepetition of the experiences of the previous day, but there is steady diminu- tion of ice and a marked decrease in the number of boulders; of snow there is al- ways a sufficiency and sometimes a supe: abundance. ‘The road forsakes the side hills tly as possible, and the am- ing on all four wheels Southwest of the post, fourteen miles, is the DuChesne bridge, where, under ordi- nary circumstances we would have caimt for the night—forty miles a day is enov for government mules—but waiting at bridge, with a light wagon and a q of fresh mules, was Capt.

HANDSOME HOMES The inequalities of the recent amendment to the general orders relating to the plat- ting and subdividing of ground, and the many hardships it would work upon certain property holders, whore land, or a portion at least, would be rendered practically val- ucless, became apparent to the Commission- ers by reason of the many protests receive from interested citizens. So they once more amended the general orders, According to the first amendment, all property subdivided must have sixteen feet front to each lot, with the regular provision | for light and ventilation in the rear, as re- quired by a building regulation. It pointed out that an owner whose property fronted thirty-one feet could only get one lot out of the ground, the remaining fifteen feet not heing cf necessary width. When published the Com. uged with protests au compl ened to arguments ad vanced , and finally conclude that the amendment was a hardship in ¢ tain cases, and the number of such c was sufficient to call for a further am ment. So they agreed to limit the minimum wii of lots to sixteen feet, but allowed the des ion of any remaining land not less than as 2 lot. This disposed of ty problems. But they went fur- ther, and provided that where an owner e of ground not less than twenty- front he could subdivide it into ne To offset these concessions, however, the Commissioners ori at no land should ‘e subdivided in the future less than fifty deep, except where such lot abutted on » object of this amendment y of the regulation passed is m: by the ¢ quiring saitable provis lots for igh now that the ohje ed, namely, th ofan mers some time ago re- nin the r tion.

Then the own- scrambled over each other to comply with the law. The New Regulations. It was found that mecting once a week was not productive of much speed in com- pleting the new building regulations, and the building commission is meeting every other day now, and hope to have the regu- lations ready to submit to the Commission- ers In about a fortnight. It may be said that thus far there have been no material changes in the regulations recommended by the building inspector, and heretofore print- ed in The Star. Some Building Plans. Inquiries are now being made every day at the building inspector’s office for in- formation concerning new houses. Perhaps the most important feature of the week at the inspector's office was the visit of a prominent architect from Brooklyn, N. Y., who is also a big speculator. He came to the office incognito, and spent considerable time discussing the building regulations. He finally stated that he was from the city of churches, and his inquiries were based upon a desire to inform himself as to the condi- tion of affairs. preparatory to building three apartment houses in the northwest, each one to be 45 feet front by 75 feet deep, and six stories high. He took a great many notes, and departed with the remark that the office would hear from him shortly. An inquiry has been received from Mr. W. W. Thomas of Athens, Ga., who is un- derstood to be cne of the wealthy mén of the south, in which he expressed a desire Senator Elkins’ name has been mentioned in connection with this latter rumor.

THE RE Formation of a Congressional Com- mittee Alrendy Agreed Upon. The joint republican caucus has adopt- ed the usual resolution as to the forma- tion of the congressional campaign com- mittee, providing for one member from each state represented by a republican in either branch of Congress.

According to his present plans, the house will front forty-seven feet on 17th street. A Business Imprevement. A business-tmprovement of importance is to be made.'shortly by Mr. Seaton Perry. He has leased the. muilding adjoining, on the east, his establishment at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 9th street, and is having plans prepared by Robert Stead, ar- chitect, for the remodeling of that biild- ing, so as to make it a part of the present establishment. The floors and front will be taken out, a new front will be erected, and the new floors will be on a level with those in the main building. When the al- terations are completed the floor space of this large establishment will be more in proportion to the business transacted than has been the case. Col. Siebert's Residence. A commodious lot has been purchased by Cot. Siebert on the enst side of 18th street between N and Massachusetts avenue.

Death of a Wealthy Chieago Broker From a Self-Inflicted Wound. Almus Butterficld, fifty-five years old, a well-known commission merchant of Chica- go, and reputed to be worth at least. $200,- 000, attempted suicide yesterday by cutting his throat. He succeeded in inflicting a fatal wound. The deed was done in his sleeping room at 178 South Water street, over his store. Though Butterfield was possessed of sufficient wealt’ to live in lux- ury, his room was almost bare, the furni- ture consisting of several dust-covered trunks, a rickety table, where he transacted his business, and a bed without even a covering except some cast-off clothing. Here he had lived for a dozen years. But- terfield died a few hours later at the county hospital. ——_-e»—____ As Usual. From the Clairmont (N. X.) National Eagle.
