Big sturgeon and Big Stories.

The largest sturgeon cver seen in
this part Of the country was sent up
by Otto Peters, Of Deer Island, to
Frank Q. Barnes. 1t weighed $50
pounds and was IL feet A inches long.
The largest seen hero before this
weighed about 300 pounds. The sight
OF it, displayed on the sidewalk at
Third and Morrison streets, attracted
a great crowd, among whom were
several good single handed fish liars.
One told about seeing n sturgeon AT
the Cascades which was ii feet long
and weighed 900 pounds. But, as
usual, the man who told his story
first stood no show, for another fell
low came to the front and told about
n sturgeon he saw up in the Snake
river which was IS feet long and
weighed l, 800 pounds. And then an
other fellow started in 10 tell about a
sturgeon he saw in Alaska, but the
crowd got scared for fear that light
ming would strike them and all
walked away, and the Alaska liar got
left. -Oregonian.

The Change from Boots to shoes.

Considerable attention has been
called To tho calfskin situation. or
late years the demand has been falling
off, as other kinds Of leather have been
taking its place. One of the principal
causes Of this lies in the fact that long
legged boots have been going out OF
favor, shoes taking their place TO a
great extent This has had great eff
feet on the consumption of leather, as
on an average it requires about two
and one half TO three times as much
stock in the manufacture of boots as
is required in the making of shoes. In
this way the use of heavy calfskins
has greatly declined During the past
few years the styles have run more
toward ''dongolu" and kangaroo"
leather for line shoes. and this has
been n serious setback for fine light
weight calfskins, Boston Daily Ad-

when he was living in Highbury,

TO a young lady residing in the same
locality who was the daughter of a

ball given at this gentleman's house
the young lady in question wore a
wreath of p%rimroses. A discussion
arose between Mr., Disraeli and an
other gentleman as to whether the
primroses were real or not. A bet of
a pair of gloves was made, and on the

IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

The letter which the irrigation commit
tee yesterday addressed to interested PEG
pic throughout the arid region and which
is published elsewhere in this issue will
do much to stimulate inquiry into this all
important subject and will prove the fore
runner OF information calculated to do the
greatest possible general good.
When attention wa recently called to
the far reaching harm which would follow
the segregation of Wyoming's irrigable
lands for ten years as proposed by Maj.
Powell and the idea advanced that all the
unclaimed lands il the arid region should
be turned over 10 the several states by the
general government some newspaper min
compoops, unable to see the tremendous
good that would come to the country
from carrying out the scheme. were in
clined to be facetious over the mat
ter. But the subject is now
in a fair way to receive the attention it
deserves. Ii could scarcely be presented
in a more clear and compact form than it
has been done by the committee.
In this connection it is only proper to
give To Prof Mead. who drew up the re-
port, the consideration which he 20 Justly
deserves. He is intensely practical, a
%tireless worker and a loyal citizen OF Wy
oming. He is broad enough to look be-
yond the present into the future. which is
80 full Of promise for Wyoming, and is
now, to the limit of his ability, laying the
ground plan of a work that must result in
much good to the entire territory.
THE LEADER takes pleasure In giving
him the praise which his work has Justly
earned him.

THERE are prospects oil the Denver
papers going into Mysteries over the re-
cent lyuching on the Sweetwater and yet
~lynchings have been by no means unusual
occurrences in Colorado. While this is
no justification for lynchincs in Wyoming
where, by the wav, they have rarely oc.
curred), still before Denver begins to
preach morality to the rest of the world
she should first wipe out the stain left by
the public hanging in the streets of the
Queen City in the presence OF SO, 200
people OF the negro Green only a very
short time ago. Mob law is demoralizing
but the spectacle of a public hanging
under the form Of the law is scarcely an
inspiring sight.

4 Card to the Public.

We desire it to be understood, that
the collision witch occurred between
the professions on Wednesday evening
was not the fault Of the Mineral Point
band. rs it was understood when
leaving the City Hall, that they would
not play until the band had passed the
Salvation Army procession, they had
arranged to pass to the right so as to
give the other the south side of the
street. The leader of the Salvation
Army procession seems to have under
stood our move and directed accord
ingly, but some of the party either did
not understand his order or was bound
to pursue a direct line, and conse-
quently the collision. If the party had
been man there might have been
trouble. We wish it distinctly under
Stood that the members of the Miner
al Point band are decent and respecta-
BILE citizens, and would not be guilty OF
an ngentlemanly act on the street.
