While the talk is going on about Wyo-
minG's Future Great" it is just as well
to keep an eye on Buffalo. This embryo
metropolis has known nothing but solid
growth since the day a venturesome set
tier reared his log shack on the bank
Of Clear creek, and its citizens have ever
since devised a way for getting everything
they want. There are unGeveloped re-
sources at head which make possible the
fostering right here of nearly every in
dustry known to civilization. Two rail-
road will enter the town at right angles
within the next twelve months, which
will start the ball of development rolling,
and the shrewd observer sees that in FIVE
years time-perhaps less-Buffalo will
be in position to not only dispute the
title of Future Great" with any enter
prlsing city in the territory, but assume
the name of Present Greatest"

BUILT A RATHER.
A Home Made Machine dt the
Union Pacific Shops.
The Ponderous Wheel Lathe Al
most Ready for Use.
Three DismantIed Engines on the
Stocks for Repairs.


The RATHER" is an appliance Just ad-
ded to the extensive Union Pacific shops
at this point. The RATHER, ike the young
man who beats the gong for a cheap
boarding house, makes n noise in the
world. Pretty nearly every one IN town
will be painfully aware of the fact when
the rattler is in operation. If there is
anything on earth calculated to deafen
the living and awaken the dead, it is a
healthy. unmuffled rather. The noise
and hustle incident to a proper observance
of the glorious fourth is the quietness Of
utter solitude when compared with a well
arranged RATHER, and as everything in the
Magic city is first-class it is certain that
the Cheyenne rattler will be a model in
that line.
Mechanically speaking a RATHER is a 1ue
cleaner. The alkali water OF this region
sadly impairs the usefulness of the loco
motive fues, coating them with a hard
surface OF limey character in a very short
time. thereby greatly lesseuing the steam
producing powers Of an engine. The
ius cleaner removes this superfuous mat
ter with speed and economy. Heretofore
the fues of engines laid up for repairs in
the Cheyenne shops have been
sent to either North Platte or
Laramie for cleansing, but thanks to
the ingenuity OF tile master mechanic there
will hereafter be neither delays nor addi-
tional expense incurred on this account.
The new RATHER is Of home manufacture
and Is perfect in every detail. 1t is a large
and strong sheet iron cylinder with open
ings for the insertion of fues. The long
pipes are submerged in water, the
power turned on, and then the noise aud
the cleansing process commence simultan-
eously. The friction of the tubes soon
as new again.
The RATHER has been placed Just outside
the engine room and everything possible
to deaden the sound will be done.
H wHEE LATHE.
The huge wheel lathe, a machine which
has been sadly needed at the Cheyenne
shops for a long time, is now in position,
and 30 soon as the betting is completed
will be ready for use. A large crane. to
facilitate the use Of the lathe. is soon to
be added to the shop. The lathe, as pre-
viously explained in these columns. is a
machine for again perfecting wheels which
have lost shape through wear or accident.
Work of this character has previously
been sent to other shops. The wheel
lathe, a ponderous affair, is Just what its
name implies and is a very fine and ex-
pensive machine,
PLENTY OF WORK.
Two dismsntled engines are on the
stocks at the shops and a third is under
going repairs at the roundhouse. The
two buildings are scenes of great activity.
Full forces are on in every department
and many OF the men work overtime. In
the yard Just east Of the shops a number
Of disabled cara are in the hands Of Mr..
Davis and bis men. Inside Mr..
Msroney and his corps are building and
repairing pilots and cabs and engaged in
other woodwork.
