At the recent session of the territorial
Legislature an act was passed to the effect
that "the mean local time of the one
hundred and fifth meridian west of
Greenwich be and the same is hereby
adopted and declared to be the standard
time for all points in Wyoming, and com
putations of legal time shall be made
thereby, using such standard time as a
basis, the same to take effect and be in
force from and after the first day of April
next"
The above provision is certainly one of
much merit in face of the fact that the
time-pieces of Cheyenne, and, perchance,
the remainder of the watches and clocks
throughout the territory, have long been
observing the very pcrnicious method of
each one running for itself with little re-
gard for the says-so of its neighbours dial.
The standard time will reduce our
O'Clock to a certainty, providing the
''tickers'' be reliable and in good repair.
This reckoning is four minutes and a
half faster than the old sun time of the
jewellers, Heretofore, the latter and the
railway time have varied thirty-fve mn
utes, the latter being just hat much
faster. Mr.. Miller, the jeweler, has al
ready adopted the time of the l05thmerid-
ian, or mountain time" The other
gentlemen in the same line of business as
himself, will soon adopt it getting their
pointers both by electricity from Denver
and by transit observation at home, thus
making assurance doubly sure.
The Union Pacific road is still rum ng
upon its old schedule time, but within a
brief period, when the new time table is
issued, it will adopt the mountain, or
standard meridian time for running be-
tween Omaha and Ogden. Our city is
but a few seconds variation from the ac-
tual lO5th longitudinal line. In fine, we
are to have standard time, and ere long a
town clock, in a central position, may
point to it most prominently.

Acting Public Lands Commissioner
Harrison reports as follows to Congress:
l am satisfied from the information re-
ceived that the practice of illegally enclos-
ing the public lands is extensive through
out the grazing regions, and that many
millions of acres are thus enclosed, and
are now being so enclosed, to the exclu-
sion of the stock of all others than the
f~ence-owners, and to the prevention of
settlements and the obstruction of public
travel.
Among the cases especially reported are
these in Colorado The Arkansas Valley
Company, whose enclosures embrace up
wards of 200, 900 acres; the Prairie Cat
tie Company (Scotch), upward Of l,OOO,-

ted as having immense areas enclosed are
the Dubuque, Cimarron and Renello Cat

cloth and ashes can don their gay toga
once again and be sprightly amid the
lively, fun loving people.
These are the days when the weather is
very trying on the constitution. Man is
liable every day to encounter coughs,
colds, lung affections, oleomargerine, book
agents, candidates and old bills.
Now Coles circusn soon appear, and
the crowds will come to seer, and atfiict
the home made beer. And now the ulster
has been flung, with the winter clothes
among, which reminds us spring has
sprung. Daa
Confidence men find Cheyenne a poor
field in which to work their nefarious
rackets. They generally nov down to
Denver or Pacifcward, as they ascertain
that our people are up to their peculiar
tricks.
With the welcome advent of joyous
spring comes cheering sunshinewhich gives
renewed hope and increased energy to in
dustrious workingmen who have been
comparatively idle during the bleak days
of a long winter.
One of Cheyenne's retiring citizens
heart was yesterday gladdened through
receiving epistolary advices that a maiden
aunt, in a far off cline, had died at a ripe
old age and left him the bulk of her vast
estate.
Beautiful blizzard, blithe as a bee,
ears, toes and nose are waiting for thee
Fret not thy gizzard, tone down thy gall,
we will look u for thy cyclone call.
Wizenfaced snow wizard, fresh from
the west, go to the north pole and give us
a rest.
The weather has been very tender of
late. The mud and ice became equally
mixed and made natures mortar very
yielding to the feet, and caused the girls
to roll up their trousers when crossing the
streets. If the weather this spring has
been designed to kill off the English spar
row we forgive it. But it was folly to
think it would accomplish the feat.
1t is mooted that a little unpleasantness
exists in certain church circles. Though
it is not regarded as extremely serious in
its peculiar aspect, it'll be speedily pushed
forward to completion in time for a revival
and love feast, They'll make it all up
when they go to carry the dominic five
dollars worth of garden truck, and eat
ten dollars worth of donation supper.

there as the Congo ~Serenaders, " which

The following letter regarding the
operation of the Baker Mining Hoist, "
will be of interest to parties engaging in
opening new mines.
1t is unquestionably a machine of great
merit and is destined to play a very i'm
portant part in the early stages of mine
development in all parts of the country.
SToDDARD, YAvAPAI Co, ARIZONA,
October 10, 1883.
Messrs. Rankin, Brayton & Co.
Gentlsmen-The Baker Mining Hoist
which we purchased of you some months
ago does all you claim for it in n most sat
isfactory manner. In sinking shaft we
are hosting from twenty-five to thirty
tons ofrock per day of t~wenty-four hours,
from a depth of about two hundred feet,
and when we commence drifting, shall
double the mount;
The machine is strongly geared and
works more easily and rapidly than any
we have ever seen. 1t has also the adj
vantage Of great permanance and dura.
bility as well as having safety appliances
that afford perfect security from accident.
Our foreman who has had sixteen years Of
mining experience says it is without ex-
ceptlon, the best horse power hoist in use.
Wishing you the'success the machine
merits | am respectfully yours,
(Signed), BENTON II. WILSON,

The Wyoming and Colorado Cattle as
sociations are s~trenuously seeking the
passage of the pleuro-pneumonia ill ly
congress. The Texas cattle men do not
desire the passage of the bill, from q mo-
tive which is purely selfish. Their sales
are exceedingly large every year, and the
restrictions which the bill places upon the
transportation of cattle, would interfere
with their bargains. Colorado, Wyoming
and New Mexico, all want the bill pas ed.
Wyoming has sent a committee to Wa h.
ington to help the bill, and Colorado and
New Mexico should follow the example.
The Colorado Cattle association is not able
to pay the expenses of a delegation in
Washington, nor is that of New Mexico,
but there are members of each association
who can well afford to spend the money
which is demanded by the work. 1t is
~strenuously urged that they should volun-
teer the contribution of money needed.
The bill ought to pass, It is of vital i'm
portance to the cattle interests of the
west, and representative stockmen of this
country working at the capital for its
passage would have influence enough to
make it a law. 1t is believed that Emory
Storrs, the loquacious lawyer, and themen
who hire him, the cattle dealers Of Chi
cago, can be prevented from killing the
bill by the western stockmen, if they VII
make a determined effort to that end.
Further action upon this vitality import
ant subject will take place at their meeting
in this city April 7, when an extended
and thorough discussion of the merits and
dement's must necessarily furnish guiding
light for combined and effective action in
the right direction.
