A Novel Trim.

DENVER, May ga special from
Glenwood Springs, Col, says: Some
weeks ago the Karr brothers conceived
the idea of making a novel and exciting
excursion this summer which for boldness
is seldom equalled. They propose to start
from this point and go by water to the
Gulf of California. The route is down
the Roaring Fork to Grand, through
Utah and Arizona, and then into Mexico
on the Colorado river. Some of the
grandest canyon scenery in the world is to
be seen along the route, notably the Cata-
ract canyon in Utah, the Marble and
Grand canyons in Arizona. Owing to the
many rapids the trip will be a continual
round of danger and excitement.
A boat has been especially built for the
trip and is very strong and in shape re-
sembles a torpedo boat, the forward part
being covered with light decking to pro-
tect the provisions and ammunition. Air
tight compartments are arranged in sew
eral places to prevent sinking in case of
accident.
The Kari brothers expect to take sew
eral weeks for the trip and will fish and
hunt when the opportunities offer. If
nothing occurs the start will be made to
morrow evening.

Four carloads of heavy machinery. in

machinery was consigned to Portland,
Ore. houses, and was manufactured by
the Advance factory at Grand Rapids,
Mich. The smelter boilers were from the
Chicago house of Fraser & Chalmers,
and were en- route to the Rocky Bar Wide

Idaho.

Collapse of a school House.

Correspondents VI IL LEADER
WENDovER, May 23.- During the
night of the Dist the roof of the building
occupied as a school house here fell in and
demolished the building. 1t was a log
house with a dirt roof. 1t seems that
when the building was erected the builder
had used timbers in the roof that were too
short. On the night in question it was
raining very steadily, and it is supposed
that the dirt on the roof alb
sorbed enough water to cause it to fall
and thus bring about the collapse of the
building. Fortunately no one was in the
building at the time of The accident.
We have four COW outfits here waiting
for cattle that are expected to arrive soon
via the cheyenne & Northern railway.
Mr.. Bogue, chiefengineer of the Union
Pacific railway, and Nh. Bannister OF the
Cheyenne & Northern railway have been
here since the Dist investigating the work
done by the engineer corps near this
point.
1t is stated on authority that the rail-
way bridge across the Platte at Wendover
will soon be planked, thus giving the
residents of both sides of the river the ad-
vantage of a wagon bridge.

-FOUR GOOD TOWNS.
Tho Leading Settlements of the
New County.
Growth Stimulated by the 0rgani-
cation of Converse.
The ClamOr For Communication
With Cheyenne.

The organization of Converse county
has given an impetus to the steady growth
which the section has enjoyed since the
advent of the Northwestern railway. The
spasmodic upbuilding of temporary towns
was followed by a lull in operations en-
forced by the uncertainty of the future.
Now all is changed. There is a stability
to the outlook which entices emigration
and induces the erection of buildings and
the establishment of enterprises which
will eventually be encompassed by pros
porous communities.
The principal towns of Converse are
Douglas, the county seat, iGlen Rock, a
coal mining town, and Manville and Lusk,
both of which are in the center of farming
districts.
Douglas is the leading settlement of
Central Wyoming and headquarters for
ranchman and miners. 1t has been a
lively burg since the completion of the
railway to the point and has experienced
a healthy growth from the pitching of the
first tent.
A gentleman who arrived from Doug
las Monday states that the location of the
county seat there has inspired unbounded
confidence in the town. No sooner had
the result of the election been announced
than work was commenced on a brick
business block and several others are con-
templated.
Hall a dozen pretentious residences are
already in course of construction and
plans for as many more are being drawn
by the architects.
The LEADERS informant expresses the
belief that many citizens who are residents
of small settlements in the vicinity of
Douglas will now seek abodes at the county
seat. AT all events TIE town will become
the city of that section.
Douglasites will not cease to clamor for
the extension of the Cheyenne e. North
ern to that point until they hear the
screech of the locomotives. They desire
direct communication with Cheyenne and
will not hold their peace until it is estab-
lished.
Glenrock is coal camp which has re-
Gently been somewhat crippled by a
diminuition Of the fuel output. 1t will
always be a prosperous settlement and
may in time become quite a city. Several
wealthy oil corporations maintain head
quarters at Douglas.

Washington Notes.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-It is stated at
army headquarters that the reports re-
garding the illness of Lieut.. Gen. Sheri-
dan are very much exaggerated. He
seemed to be suffering from fatigue or
%overwork, and Monday last he decided to
remain at home and rest for a few days,
but has not been confined to his bed.
The senate committee on agriculture
has ordered a favorable report on the
Hatch bill to enlarge the duties of the de-
partment of agriculture and make it an
executive department.. The committee,
however, struck out that portion of the
bill which looks to the transfer of the
weather bureau to the department of agri-
culture.
In the senate to-day, in secret session, a
motion was made by Senator Sherman to
proceed to the consideration of the
fisheries treaty in open session. Half an
hours debate followed, at the end of
which the senate adjourned without &C
ton. 1t is expected that the question
will be revived tomorrow and the Repub-
licans think from present indications the
doors will be thrown wide open.
AS far as the party can be regarded as
bound by the action of the conference as
distinct from the caucus, Republican
representatives in the house have formally
decided to decline to accept Mills propo-
sition to dispense with with consideration
on the tariff bill under the five minute
rule. Democratic members of the ways
and means committee are hard at work
upon the amendments proposed by the
Democrats and endeavoring to dispose OF
them before the end of the week SO that
the caucus can enter upon the considera-
ton of the bill for amendment next week.
The president will leave Washington
next Tuesday evening for New York to
take part in the Memorial day exercises in
