TO FORT RUSSELL.
The Street Car Company Granted
Right of Way.
The Bill Passed the House of Rep.
resentatiyes Yesterday.
A Line TO the Fair Grounds, Camp
and Post.

This dispatch was received from Wash
ington by THE LEADER last night:
in the house to day the senate bill
granting the Cheyenne Street Railway
company right of way across the Fort d.
A. Russell military reservation, was passed
by a unanimous vote.
The construction and maintenance of a
line to Camp Carlin and Fort Russell has
been a pet project of the company's since
the conception of the streetcar idea. That
such a spur would pay is certain. The
travel between the city and camp and
post is considerable and with cheap trans
portation would be increased not a little.
A Russell line would of necessity in
clude the fair grounds as a station, and
aside from the ordinary traffic the car
company would have several mighty busy
days during race meetings. The fare
would be placed at a low figure and the
Union Pacific would readily abandon its
service at the request of the city transit
company.
Aside from the fair grounds, camp and
fort, a street railway line to the boulevard
northwesterly would come to be a very
profitable branch, for the city is growing
in that direction. There are two addi-
tons in the neighbcrhood of the fair
grounds almost ready for the market, and
it is understood that their owners will
offer extraordinary inducements to build
ers.
That the Street Railway company has
gone to the trouble of securing right of
way across the Russell reservation is
pretty good evidence that the corporation
means business and it is possible that
work on the line will at an
early date.
1t is certain hat the street line will be
extended SO soon as the frost leaves the
earth. Every effort is being made by
interesting persons to induce the con-
struction of an east end line and a branch
to Lake Minnehaha and perhaps beyond
is almost assured. When the shops are
running and the viaduct completed a line
to the south side will be an absolute ne
costly

The above was the substance of a postal
card received by the Cheyenne chief Of
police from a Kearney, Neb., gentleman
some eight or ten weeks 60. The fathers
name could not be learned.
Pat 20 best now, Henryl' was the
order heard by Officer Griswold as he
passed the Ferguson street saloon called
ChaIley's Exchange last night. The
mandate, uttered in childish tones and
followed by plantation patting and lively
dancing, arrested the policeman's atten-
ton and he entered the resort.
A diminutive darkey was Tagging as
if his life depended on the rapid and
graceful movement OF his feet, while a
dirty and ragged white boy was pat
ting with artistic earnestness. The
crowd in the saloon was enjoying the ex-
hib;tion immensely.
The rivals of Mcintyre & Heath were

police from the Kearney man. The

A New uash Grocerr Elrm.

Fol over a week past a startling trans
formation has been in progress at the
immense Ferguson street storeroom lately
occupied bv Draper, Organ & Co. The
great assortment of hardware having
been finally removed, the interior was
given a thorough renovation, and after a
few days of herculean labor the fine stock
of groceries lately contained IN A. d.
Kelley's Eddy street store has been
transferred to the Ferguson street estab-
lishment.
This morning a new firm comes to the
from with an energy characteristic of its
members, and one which is destined to be
associated for many years with the history
of the town. 1t is the grocery firm OF
Stone & Covert, which has purchased the
stock of A. D. Kelley and removed it to
Draper & Organs late store on Ferguson
street. The members Of the firm are
both young men, and both have lived
here for a number of years. +. w.
Stone has lately been bookkeeper at KEEL
ley's, while Pitt Covert has been manager
OF the grocery department at Heath's.
With their experience, energy and bust
ness ability, coupled with the popularity
which they both enjoy, they are destined
to meet with great success in their new
venture.
The store will be formally opened to
the public to-day. Every lady visitor
will be given a handsome souvenir in the
shape of a bouquet.

terday at the office ofTerritorial Secretary
Shannon.
The new line is a Union Pacific ven,
ture and a branch to the coal fields lying
north of the main line between Carbon
and Rawlins will be constructed. The
capital stock of the latest Wyoming rail-
way will be 81 900, 900 and the contribu-
tors are General Manager Holcomb, Thos.
l.. Kimball, j. s.. Cameron, Assistant
General Manager Cumming and Chief
Engineer Bogue, all well known Union
Pacific officials.
The immediate work of the new com
pany will be to construct a line from Sui.
phur, a station near Carbon. in a general
westerly direction to a point at or near
Rawlins.
A stated project is the building OF
branches to any coal or mineral deposits
in Carbon, S~weetwater or Fremont coun-
ties"
II 4uOldllOu hlCdhS unuCh- ~ AhdA
Gates that the Union Pacific is not exactly
waking IN, for it never has been leth-
srgic. but it does indicate that the pioneer
overland route intends to be hampered no
longer in its mission to honey-comb with
feeders the territory which is to become
the greatest commonwealth in the union
Just so surely as the union exists.
The self granted license or assumed
%prerogative to build branches to any coal
or mineral deposits in Carbon, Sweetwater
or Fremont counties" means for one
thing that the Union Pacific does not pro-
pose to be the hindermost in the race of
railroads to the oil fields of central and
northeastern Wyoming. Then there are
some gold mines near Rawlins. There is
a stamp mill in the Seminole district and
the prospectors OF that section claim that
its owners lave a bonanza. The mill is
operated two or three months every year
and the wealthy owners will treat ore
from but one mine-theIr own property.
Were the Union Pacific to forge north
from Rawlins to the famous Shoshone oil
basin and the splendid Lander valley the
spur would prove the best paying rail
road property in the entire West. No
agricultural district in the wide expanse
of country designated as the Rocky noun
tain region better merits the title than the
fertile tracts extending for miles along the
banks OF the Big and Little Wind and the
Popo agile rivers in Fremont county.
Again, who knows but what the Car
bon Cutoff may tap the valley of the
Platte and furnish a railway route to the
Wyoming Spa, the Saratoga hot springs?
OF course the primary object of the
projectors of the new line is to place
more and better coal at the disposal of
the Union Pacific; but the company al
ready has coal to sell to its competitors
and can well afford to look about for
something else.
