THE SHOPS ARE ALL RIGHT

THE SHOPS ARE ALL RIGHT
Denver is quite a strange town. L.
wants everything that's going. kicks like
a bay steer If any enterprise Is located
else where in the wide Wcst,and MAINTAIN
ing such IA policy still wonders that all the
other towns in the Rocky mountain
region should not cheerfully render 1t tn
butte and look out for its interests before
trey care for their own.
Denver has long been DESTROYS OF max

with the end Of securing the trade OF uhis

of the succulent food known as taify. just
the moment. however, that the interest
of TIE two towns begin to clash Denver
claws and makes clamorous efforts TO move
heaven and earth in a feverish desire to
change a settled thing. 10 this particu
lar instance the enterpri.ing people OF the
Queen Civ were Just a trife SLOW. Chey
enne had been up early in the morning,
and it didn't let any grass grow under its
feet during the whole day.
As to the statement hat Denver is A.
favorsbly located for the situation Of the
Union Pacific shops, that is tho shcerest
nonsense. There is no town along the
whole line OF the road with the same
geographical advantages Hail. way be-
tween Omaha and Ogden, the termini of
the main line, at the junction OF the
Denver Pacific from the South and the
Cheyenne and Northern from the North,
we are in the exact center of the whole
system. Under this system it would not
be evidence OF good busincs |. Judgment
TO convey locomotives or cars for repairs
from all points along the road to either
Omaha or Denver. The Omaha Re
publican. which. is always an authority on
railroad matters aud particularly Union
Pacific affairs, already admits that the pro
posal to establish the principal shops per
manently in Omaha has been entirely
abandoned. Cbeyenne'o claim to con
sidsration is candidly recognized.
This is one OF the features of the mat
ter which Vice President Holcomb, one
of the lar seeing executive officers in the
railroad business, readily discovered.
Wyoming is yet almost virgin territory,
except TO the Union Pacific. This road
has SO far a big advantage over all its
rivals. Elsewhere it could only hope for

ment rapidly progressing, a broad and en-
lightened policy being pursued with rela
ton to the towns along the line of its
road, it could reasonably hope to secure
an enormous increase in its revenue aud
strengthen the grip on a business which
must soon reach vast proportions. Mr..
Holcomb readily seized these facts, and
from the very first has favored the loca
ton Of shops at this point, as being in the
line OF the best policy hat could be pur.
sued by the company. When Mr.. 20
comb reached this conclusion, which he
did after a careful survey of the whole
field. he at once gave his %countenauce to
the proposition, aud the rest was simply a
matter of settling the details.
Cheyenne is neither disposed TO Drag
over its achievements nor crow over its
rivals, but it hasn't too much modesty to
ask for something hat it wants and push
it's claim for recognition with perseverance,

When The STAR reporter visited the work

A. II. Forney. we're at work giving semblance
OF life TO the legs of yearllng moose which is

"GRASSHOPPER TOMB
The Clerks i'm the District Building
Amused by the Antics of a Cat.

The clerks at the District buildings get a
good deal Of fun out of the antics of a large
black-an1-white cat in an adjoining stone ward.
From morning until night he may be seen
cautiously picking his way among the large
granite slabs in search of grasshoppers. Now
and then he hushes one and then the fun
begins. Tom watches when the grasshopper
lights and makes a flank movement behind the
resting place OF the unsuspecting insect and
before the latter has time to stretch his wings
tabby is upon him. The mode of catching him
is the interesting part of the proceeding. Tom
springs upon what he evidently considers the
correct locality and plants his two front paws
close together on the spot and looks around TO
see II the game is escaping. If the retreating
grasshopper Is not in sight he carefully lifts one
paw ana cautiously peers under. Failing
to see his game there the other paw Il lifted.
When at last the captured game is discovered
Tom 10 all excitement. His tail suddenly de-
Nelops new life and moves from side TO side
with great rapidity. Folding his hind legs
ready for spring in case he misses fire he
darts his head in the direction of the game
and rarely fails in his first attempt Catching
the grasshopper in his mouth he gulps him
down and Shaking his chops, moves on for
more game. There are two varieties of grass
hoppers in this locality, and Tom is fastidious.
preferring the small variety with scant wings,
although he eats apparently with much relish
the larger ones after detaching the wings.
The boys have dubbed the cat ''Grasshopuer
Tom, and when one cries out, Toms on the
trail, 1t Is the signal for general stampede
toward the windows. but Tom doesn't mind
having an audience and continues his hunt un-
conscious OF their adnniring gaze.

The larger of the rooms occupied by the taxi
dermist is now devoted almost entirely to the
moose. In fact there is room on the floor for
little else, but the walls and shelves are COW
cred with casts, drawings, skins. antlers and the
many materials used by the taxidermist On
one shelf is a cast made from the head of a big
moose, showing the great development of the
flexible nose, provision of nature which en-
ables the animal to pillow beneath the surface
of the crusted snow in winter In search of the
foliage OF bushes upon which il feeds in that
season, and also aids as a horn to give volume
and effect to Its peculiar and prolonged below
when calling to Its mate.
On low platforms on the floor stand the
moose already mounted, or in process of
mounting. The largest of the group is a COW
and the taxidermist has about completed his
work up on this animal This is the huge erea-
ture from the province Of Ontario. shot for the
museum by Col Clay, and which measured six

lip Leaf or twig from the branch Of a tree.
The shortness of the neck. the size of the head
and length of the awkward looking limbs gives
the creature a somewhat ungainly aspect but the
taxidermist has stuck 10 the lines land down by
nature and not tried to improve upon natures
handiwork- The neck is so short that it is
with difficulty the animal gets Its nose to the
ground. and instead of grazing as common
cattle or deer do it feeds upon leaves from the
tops OF bushes or on the lower limbs of trees.

Though on smaller scale these all require
study, like the moose group. and all bring up
the question how to reproduce nature in the
grasses and foliage. Once all such accessories
were made from paper. wax, or wax cloth
which never wither or fall Wax leaves are
made in delicate molds or impressions taken
from the natural leaves, but it takes a long
time and much skill to make leaf SO perfect
IN form, eolorLng, and veining as to deceive the
eye as to the counterfeit. Mr. VIM Palmer has
been experimenting with considerable success
upon the natural leaves and grasses. with the
view OF having nature provide the form and
velning at least. He has discovered that when
the coloring matter is extracted from leaf it
does not wither and roll up. So he puts the
leaf or grass to soak in a strong solu-
coloring matter. When the leaf
stiff and brittle. To remedy this he soaks il in
another solution which fills the minute pores
from which the color was extracted and the
leaf comes out flexible and tough Then he has
leaf perfect in form and marking but white
He paints the white surface, restoring nature
color, and then has a good serviceabie leaf
which can be attached to a twig and be war
ranted to withstand all the changes of seasc Ms
and never to curl up or wither. The moose
when they are finally placed. will be repre-
sented feeding on indestructible leaves of this
KIND. 1t may be some weeks before they reach
this point. When they are all mounted in the
taxIdermlsts work room they will have to be
lowered to the ground by way of the window
as 1t will be quite out Of the question to get
the larger animals down tbs stairway. Then
they VIII be taken to the museum building to
be finally arranged in the big case.

1dermist 10 severely tested. The skin has in
the nrst place to be removed with much care
from the animal after it is shot. Then it has
to be treated Carefully SO a. to preserve all the
natural color and aspect of the coat. and be
kept in q flexible condition without either
shrinking or stretching. Natures tailoring 10

idermist has natures own materials it is not
an easy task to secure the same exactness of fit

which characterized the coat of the live animal
The workman has to study his subject
thoroughly in order to have his reproduction
OF nature look comfortable in its skin.
The group, when mounted, will be repre-
ssnted feeding in a clump of trees, birch and
ash. such as might be found in the moose coun-
try In northern Maine or. Ontario in the au-
tumn.
The glass case in which they will be placed
viii be OF the same size as that inclosing the
buffalo group-twelye by sixteen. In the fore
ground the big COW will stand reaching up and
grasping at twlg with its tongue and lip. BY
twill stand the calf. and the yearling moose will
be standing by with its head down aud tongue
protrudlng, licking the Calls forehead The
other moose viii be feeding near by. The bull

conveniently feed upon the leaves Of sappling
by reaching upward. will throw its weight
against the stem of the sappling bend it down
and walk astride of it. 1t will then feed at ease
upon the succulent twigs and leaves. This per-

CURES something more than the art once sup
posed to be sufficient to constitute an expert
taxldermist. Not only has he to reproduce ex-
actly the image OF the animal, but he has to
put in all his natural surroundings This, one
might say, would be perfectly easy, if one
could simply take trees and moss. shrubs and
turf from the forest and dispose them about
the case. The difficulty is that MOSES and
grasses dry up and leaves wither and fall from
dying branches. coup of moose, however
natural their posturing, would loose some Of
their effectiveness if represented in the act of
eating wax leaves 1t has been a study with
the taxidermist how to use natives materials in
this seene-setting part of the work. In the
