The Interior Land and immigration
company spends large sums yearly in ad-
vertising their business. but are doing
nothing at present. In the forthcoming
boom edition of THE LEADER they have
engaged a whole page, half OF which will
be filled by a plate representing a portion
OF the business part of the city and the
Union Pacific shops and yards. This is a
magnificent cut, being drawn by R.
Caughey of this city.
The most noticeable feature of the en-
craving is the viaduct. The approaches
commence at the end Of Warren and Cap
itol avenues and meet up an incline. east
and west, and then turn south on the via
duct, opposite Central avenue The via
duct, over which will be a street car line,
reaches Eleventh street on the south side
OF the track.
In the distance is a splendid perspec
tive view of Interior Heights, showing
700 acres of the company's land plated
into lots distinctly marked and aligned
with streets. while at the foot of the ,le-
walton is the sinuous stream ca led Grow
creek. In the center of the Heights Is
noticed a large architectural building rep
resentlng the Wyoming Normal college.
10 the Union Pacific yards are the fol-
lowing shops and offices, commencing
from the extreme east in the order in
which the old and new shops will stand:
Dry kiln and freight car repair shop, wood
working shop, paint shop and car shop
car shop and paint shop, blacksmith
shop and offices OF motive power DEPART
ment, storehouse aud machine shop, boiler
chop, ~roundhouse and foundry.
The most minute detail has been care
fully drawn, eve to the names on the
freight cars standing On the tracks. 1t IS
a beautiful picture and will receive espec-
isl commendation when brought before
the public and amply repay any expense

The application to the district court for
adjudication of the priorities OF rights to
use the waters of Clear creek and its
tributaries for beneficial purposes has
placed into the Justice mill one of the
biggest civil cases, says the Buffalo Echo,
and is one of the most important water
rights cases ever docketed in the terri
tory, by reason OF the large number of
people whose interests are involved
therein, two hundred and twenty being
actually concerned directly. and many
more being more or less affected.

Mr.. HoIcomb Writes Of the Big High
Line Crossing.

Lint NAoNNAhk
In response to a letter sent by Acting
Mayor Hebard, by direction of the city
council, making inquiry regarding the
construction of the Central avenue via
duct, the following response was re-
ceived. The inquiry was directed to the
fact that the city was under contract to
complete the viaduct by January l next,
and owing to the fact that the plans were
not yet approved by the railway company,
the city might. owing to the delay, be
rendered technically liable. In response
to this letter, Vice President HolcOnb
says:
Il understand Mr.. Bogue will be able
to reach Cheyenne and consult with you
about the yiaduct matter about the 5th
or 9th of July. We have thus far been
met very fairly by the people Of Chey,
enne in what we have asked from them.
We hope they will not think that we
shall be unreasonable in our exactions

A Rawlins dispatch says hat the
Leavenworth Cattle company has turned
loose on the range of Three Forks creek
and Snake river 1000 Texas yearllngs.
Several other outfits will bring large
punches of cattle into this region. and it
looks as if the balmy days of the business
were to return. An indication that the
range is good and will stand more cattle
is in the fact that large bands of antelope
are seen on the plains in many places.
