to pick them up unobservedly.
The land office removed yesterday from
its old quarters in the postofice building
to the new commercial building.
The streets are crowded with freight
teams loading for the cattle companies in
the northern part of the territory,

Thursday.
1t is a noted fact that those who take
the lead in pushing their business though
the newspapers generally take the lead in
everything else.
If the chap who stole a machine from
the LEADER office for clinching papers
together will quietly return the same, he
will save exposure.
From the extraordinary amount of
moisture which has fallen since January,
1888, old timers are of the opinion that
our climate is changing.
In overhauling our streets would it not
be a good idea to raise the centre just a
little, so that ugly pools will not remain ?

the recent fire will be over 81, 200. All

The fair, feecy feathers fell furiously
from the frowning clouds yesterday and
again a ermine carpet was spread upon
u streets, soon to melt beneath the
springs smiling sun
An issue has been closely drawn be-
tween prohibition and anti-prohibition in
Denver, and it is to be fought out upon
that line to-day, in that city where the
feeling of the people is running very high
upon the local liquor question.
The train due this morning from the
east was reported only an hour late last
evening at 10 O'Clock. This mornings
train from the west was on time at the
same hour. Doubtless the drifts will
detain both trains beyond their time.

The regular business meeting of the

Every winter a large number of cattle
drift on to the Union Pacific railroad track
for shelter in the cuts, and are run over
and killed. The company has to pay an
nually a large sum for the cattle thus
killed, and to protect itself as well as the
cattle, it is now enclosing its track with
barbed wire fence from North Platte west
ward. This fence will be a barrier between
herds north and south of the track, and
as it will cut the grazing territory into two
sections, and prevent roaming from one to
the other.
Mr.. s. H. Standard, president of the
cattle association, and id Brush, have
succeeded in securing the special train
which will take the Colorado delegation of
cattlemen to Cheyenne on April I, where
they will attend the convention of the
Wyoming stock men. Two cars were OBJ
tanned, and about sixty members of the
association will go along. The Colorado
stockmen are anxious to obtain some
knowledge from the.Wyoming cattlemen
of the manner in which they do their
very good work, their plan of organlza-
ton and other matters in which the COW
men OF the west are commonly interested.
The excursionists will probably remain in
Cheyenne until the convention closes, and
will have something interesting to say dur
ing its deliberations.
