COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Road Matters--A Trip Along the Union
PacIfc Railroad.

The board of county commissioners
were in session again yesterday, and in
the forenoon considered and allowed a
number of bills that had been left over
from the previous day.
In the afternoon the board devoted a
portion Of the time to the consideration Of
roads and road petitions. No definite &C,
ton was taken, however, in relation to
any proposed road. In relation to the
proposed road from Wendover to Hart
vile, and from the first named point to
the Albany county line, the whole matter
including the hearing of the viewers re-
port, was postponed until the next regu-
lar meeting Of the board.
Bids for the clearing of the proposed
road from Wendover to Hartville of all
distractions, we're opened and considered,
The bidders we're i. D. Berry, B. Nc
CURE, A. E. Bonham and Murray, Nc
Quinn & Co.. The contract was awarded
to the last named gentlemen for $500
their bid being the lowest.
The board will tomorrow take a trip
we the Union Pacific westward, and
eventually in other directions to fix upon
the points where blowing must be done to
protect the country from fires.

The Union Pacific railroad people have
recently done another good work, which,
like many of the same sort that have pre-
coded it. should be placed to the credit of
the old stand by" The buildings which

Pacific hotel, which was destroyed by fire
Thanksgiving day, 1856, have been taken
down and hauled away, the old platform
that lay between the site of the hotel and
the railroad track has been torn up and
the cellar of the old building completely
filled in and the ground leveled off 80 that
now the place where these buildings once
stood is as level and nice as could be
wished for, all of which is an improve

A Big Sale,

Yesterday the bargain was closed and
the final steps taken in the transfer of the
Hellman ranch and other property out on
Horse creek to I. W. Rutledge. The
consideration is not definitely stated, but
it was learned that it is what the parties
themselves consider e~quivalentto $32, 900,
which while it is quite a snug little sum
is not more than the property is worth.
as this ranch has long been considered one
of the finest in Wyoming. The consider
alton for the land alone was $40, 800.

AFTER threatening and making
fruitless attempts to rain all yesterday
afternoon and evening, the clouds
finally succeeded in dischargiDg a
copious shower Of rain early this
morning. It came down in tor
rents. The soldier boys at Camp
DDPont, ensconsed beneath good tents,
suffered no Inconvenience worth mem
tioning 1t probably brought up to
them, however, thoughts Of the brave
boys Of 25 years ago, who slept the
sleep Of tired soldiers in the open air,
while showers like that Of last
night beat down upon their faces.
The crowds Of people at the Springs
during the afternoon and evening had
arrived safely at their homes before
the rain began, and those who were
awakened congratulated themselves
that it had not come earlier in the
evening.
