In Great Britain there is q sheep on
every acre and one-third of land. In
this country there is an average of but
one sheep on thirty-four acres.
The Drover's Journal suggests: "Tbe
question naturally arises, which do the
people of Great Britain most fear-our
deceased or our healthy stock ?"
Drover's Journal, Oct. 81: II. G..
Rand. of Cheyenne, head of the firm Of
Rand Il Steadman, is in the city. They
have marketed seven trains of cattle in
two weeks. The heavy receipts of cat
tie during the week hardly accustomed a
ripple in the trade, and it is thought if
the panicky feeling concerning the
dressed beef trade in the east had not
existed prices would have advanced
this week in the face of the largest re-
ceipts on record.
Texas Wool Grower: A number of
timid men are waiting for spring to
come before investing in sheep, because
they are afraid of the winter. In the
spring they will kick themselves for do
ing so; then will wait until fall and
kick themselves again, and so IN.
Whenever a sheep dies, open it and try
to find out the cause of death. If you
do so you may gain some valuable in
formation. If you do not you will fail
in your duty and remain in Ignorance
OF that which might a V you from con-
siderable loss.

"The LEADER says that the Sun has
stated that Mr.. Post is an honest and a
reliable man, and that we also have ac-
cused him of buying the LEADERS,
support. The LEADER contends that
these statements are contradictory.
Indeed. 1t strikes us that the purchase
of the LEADERS bazoo is simply a
business transition on the part of Mr..
Post. He would be dishonest, how
ever were he not to pay the considera-
ton agreed iupon. "-Snu of yesterday.

IVA, LARAMIE Co, Oct. 20, 1885.
Editor Leader:
AS the mining interests Of Wyoming
are attracting a great deal of public
notice at present. might not be out
of place to say a few words relating to
her agricultural resources, which must
inevitably go hand in hand with the
territory's mining interests.
The mining interests have such
champions in the field with purse and
pen that their reputation is well sus-
tanned. 1 think the time has fully ar
rived when some action should be
taken to bring the fertile valleys of the
north into notice. This can be done
and ample proof be given by the few
isolated ranches along the streams Of
north, and 1 think the report will COM
pare f%avorably with any of our sister
states or territories. Where is there a
more fertile valley than the Chugwater?
1t is the admiration of the daily trav-
eler. Contiguous to the Chugwater is
the beautiful Laramie, with its i'm
mense water supply, which, if its value
is not soon seen by our people, will
be diverted into other channels for ad-
joining territory, to the detriment of
our own.
In speaking of the arabic and con-
tiguous to the Laramie, 1 would say,
there is as fine a tract of land as the
eye would wish to see extending from
the confluence of the Chugwater and
the Laramie on the east to the Sable
on the west. 1t is about seven miles
wide and about twelve miles long. 1
think L can safely say that this is a
tract of land capable of raising crops
as well as in our adjacent states or ter
ritories. The situation for a colony is
admirable. Limestone and other build
ing rock is in abundance, and a good
supply of pine is In the hills close by.
The location L speak of is about twenty
miles from the Hartville miles, and the
development of the one would stimu-
late the other.
Wheat, oats and other produce have
been raised here this season in 0uanti-
ties large enough to satisfy the most
skeptical as to soil and climate. As
the great tidal waveo of immigration is
now p%ouring,oyer our country, it seems
to me here is a good opportunity for
some of u capitalists to put their
shoulders to the wheel of progress for
the development of Wyoming's agri-
cultural resources. j. II. G..

Before the convention the Sun
spoke favorabiy of Hon. f. E. Warren
as a republican nominee for delegate
to congress. Mr.. Warren's LARGE
PERSONAL INTEREST ARE
RIGHT HERE IN CHEYENNE, but
believing that he could not conscien-
tiously accept the nomination and pro-
perly discharge the duties of a delegate
on account of the claims Of his otcn busi-
ness, he declined. The LEADER thinks
in the mention made by the Sun it has II
point which can be used in the cam
paign. Let us see
'Mr. Warren declined the nomina-
ton owing to the fact that the duties of
a delegate might conflict with the dis
charge of his W private bushes inter-
ests. MI. Post, possessing interests far
more uidely distributed, accepts the
nomination. Sun of yesterday.

Lotteries in wyoming.

"Among its 1.-THE LEADER's) errors
in fact is the n that Pattee's lottery
was suppressed by a territorial statute
passed in 1879. The lottery was wound
up in 1876 by the United States laws,
and a subsequent mining scheme was
suppressed by prosecutions on the part
of the United States. The territory
or its statutes cut no figure in the
affair. Sun of yesterday. a..
Section 13, chapter &c, Compiled
Laws of Wyoming, 1876, which stood
as law until December, 1879, permitted
lotteries on the payment to the sheriff
Of a license fee of $50. Pattee,s
scheme was practical under that law,
and so were others. There is to be
seen at the LEADER office a lottery
ticket issued under a license granted
September l, 1879, the very autumn
the anti-lottery law vas passed. Yet
the Sun says 'the territory nor its
statutes cut no figure in the affair"
Moreover, the men who worked as
clerks in the p~ostoffice in 1870 will
make affidavit to the receipt of a large
number of letters making inquiries
about the lottery scheme then running
in the territory. For that matter, it is
a matter of notoriety that the Suns
statement is untrue, mems memories
being depended upon to carry them to
that conclusion.

CATTLE sLAUGHTERING.
Details OF the Work as Performed Mt
the Powder River Compnny's
slaughter House at
sherman.

Two hundred yards to the north Of
the Union Pacific railroad track a,
Sherman stands a long, low, frame
building, built for use as a slaughter
and packing house for the Powder river
company. At the western end of the
building is a corral, in which the cattle
are confined when they arrive from the
range. They are driven to Sherman,
and not brought by cattle cars, as the
beef is in better condition when the
live cattle have not been subjected to q
journey by rail. From the corral runs
a passage-way at the extreme end of
the building, with a high fence at each
side, being separated from the building
by several pens, each large enough to
allow two steers to stand in it. Four
steers are driven into the passage-way,
the gates connecting with the pens
being left standing open. When two
have entered the pen farthest from the
corral the door is closed and the two
others are then driven into the next
pen and the door is closed. Above the
pens, on a frame work, run several
planks, which serve as a platform for
the man who kills the steers. He walks
out on a plank with a rifle IN his hands,
waits a moment to take deliberate
aim, and sends a ball into a steers
head, striking it either between the
eyes or at the back of the neck. When
the four steers have been shot a large
sliding door at the back of the pen,
opening into the slaughter house, is
opened by men from the inside of the
building. In Il moment they have
attached rope to the horns of a steer,
and by mean of q windlass are hauling
the carcass into the slaughter house.
Here is a platform perhaps twelve feet
wide, sloping slightly toward a gutter
which carries away the blood. On
this platform the steers are stretched
out quickly and the butchers go to
work. One cuts the throat of an ami
NAL and works at the head, while
another is cutting off the hoofs and pre-
pairing to take off the skin. The intes-
tines are removed, the heart, liver and
tongue are cut away and hung up, all
to be packed away in barrels for ship
ment. The carcass is swung up to a
cleat, and when skinned aud dressed
pushed along a series of slides back
toward the eastern end of the building,
which is inclosed on all sides, and is
used as a packing room. The skins of
the animals are sailed down and the
heads tossed aside. This done, and
four more steers are driven into the
pens and the operation is repeated. The
Inclosed packing room has a capacity of
about 1000 of sheep and 1000
beeyes. 1t is the intention of the
managers to maintain q temperature in
the packing roo higher than that of
the air outside, and the apparatus used
in rendering the tallow may be used
also in preventing the packing T. ON
from becoming cold enough to freeze
the meat contained in it.

"The Uintah Chieftain is non-com-

uttering Point Blank Falsehoods
While Defending its Tainted
Candidate.

Herewith is given a series of mis-
representations, ACCOMMODATIONS and
transparent prevarications which have
appeared in the Cheyenne Sun during
the present campaign. But little COM
ment is made upon them, the facts be-
ing so spread before the reader that he
may make his own comments. If in
future the LEADER does not follow up
many of the Suns falsehoods, whether
simple yarns or malignant lies, the pub
lie will know that it is because the
LEADER is ware that the community
considers the source Enthusiastically.

The Sun points out that NJ. e. Post
has been an ofice-holder for eight
years. 1t avoids saying that for four
years the Office which he held was a
source of no profit, and Ii in which
he performed considerable work. Two
other years were spent in the council,
and no one can say he used his position
there to increase his income. When it
is said of Mefdrum that he is a life
long tax-eater, all the territory, save
the Sun, knows that it is meant that
Jack is a politician by profession, and
that offices of profit have been filed by
him for years, the result of his wire
pulling to get them.
