Do sou intend to build a home? Pretty
nearly everyone who is not already sup
piled in that direction is asking himself
some such question. If he has not all
of the ready money he oftentimes drops
the subject from consideration. Now,
why shouldn't he build himself a house
instead of paying rent With the proper
showing he will have no trouble in secur.
ing the money from a building and loan
association, and by the payment monthly
of about the same sum which he now
pays for rent, in Eve or six years he car
have a home of his own.
Cheyenne's first building and loan
association was a big success, but the new
company called the Home, because it is
strictly a home institution, will be a big
ger uc,ess. There will be much building
activity In the next few years and a big
demand for money. Hundreds OF people
will be benefited by the Association.
Those who contemplate building or join.
ing such an association and desire further
information should call at Riner & John

TALKING OF CHANGES.
Superintendent Baxter May be
Transferred to Idaho.
Assistant corwin Mentioned as His
Successor.
1t is Certain That NJ L. Ryder is q
Meat ak Mark.

Upon the advent Of President Adams
in the West some two weeks & num-
Der of changes were made in the official
roster. Mr.. McKibbon, who had been
cock of. the walk at Omaha was duly i'm
pressed with his Ettleness b. receiving an
invitation to resign. He complied with
this request. Mr.. Choate, who assumed
to have a lien on the earth and fullness
thereof because he was superintendent OF
the COLORADO division Of the Union Paoi-
fc, received his congo with all the grace
and abandon hat had characterized his
utter disregard for the wishes Of his su-
perior officer.
Among the changes early announced
as contemplated was in the superintend
enc OF the Idaho division, Mr.. w. l..
Ryder, formerly Of this division, being
the incumbent. Speculation was at once
rife as to who would succeed the gentle
man.
Yesterday somewhat OF q sensation was
created here by circulation of the report
that Robt. w. Baxter. the new and able
superintendent of the Wyoming division,
with headquarters here, would move to
Pocatello and relieve Mr.. Ryder and that
F. L. Corwin, now assistant to Mr.. Bax-
ter, with office at Green River. comes
here to be chief.
The programme was mapped out on
pointers said to have merged here, COM
ing from Omaha and Mr.. Adams car out
in the northwest.
MIR. Baxter was questioned about the
matter. He had heard the story as re-
peated by The LEADER man, but knew
nothing officially. Mr.. Baxter SAID he
hoped that he would not be transferred
and scarcely thought such an order would
be issued. He is lust getting settled here
and likes his work, his men and the peo-
pie along the line. THE LEADER can
say for the employees and citizens that by
them Mr.. Baxter is held in high esteem
as a gentleman and an official,
1t is hoped the change planned, involv-
ing the removal of Mr.. Baxter from
Cheyenne, will not be made, though the
tips come straight and Mr.. Ryder is GER
tain to go. The Idaho division is one OF
the most difficult Of the system to handle
and 1t is not surprising that Mr.. Baxter
should be mentioned for the place.

NOTHING IN 1T.
The Report of Joe Gurney's Battle
With Thieves.


A report that Joe Quincy, the well
known Horse creek ranchmen, had a
desperate encounter with thieying Ne
braska srsBssTs on the range last Satur-
day, was current here Sunday and yester-
day. The story was that jos came upon
the raiders butchering q steer carrying
his brand and that he opened fire on the
freebooters. They gave battle and the
Wyoming man was wounded in the
shoulder. He finally put the pair to
fight and hit one hard.
A reporter of THE LEADER caught up
with Mr.. Quincy last evening and learned
that the tale of war was without a scintil-
la OF support. Joe said he had heard it
and supposed the yarn was started to
scare the granQers, who were lately more
active than ever. A conflict is imminent,
however. if the thieving continues. The
poverty stricken farmers are not content
with stealing enough beef for their W
use, but market meat ut kImball and
other railway points.

A GREAT FUTURE IN STORE
A Glass Journal on one of wyomlng's Soda
Deposits.
Enthusiastic on the Gill Lakes Situated
Near Glenrock.
Opinion and Analysis by the Territorial
6eoIogist.

Pottery and Glassware Reporter Pittsburg)
May 8, 1880
Though the scarcity in the supply Of
soda ash no longer exists, and the traffic
in this necessary material for glass making
has resumed Its normal channels, the peo-
pie of Wyoming interested in the deposits
OF soda In that state are determined to
push the development OF their valuable
mineral, SO that when necessity again
arises, or before that occasion requires it,
they will be able to offer soda ash to all
who need it, at prices which will be able
to compare tavorably with other sources
of supply. With this object In mind
they are about to construct a railroad
connecting the soda lakes with the Chey
cone & Northern line, and thus open up
a medium ofeconomic transportation to all
parts of the country. The deposits are, un-
doubtedly, very rich, and a great
future is in store for the industry il is.in-
tended to develop. The Gill soda lakes,
situated. about twelve miles from Glen
rock, are regarded as first and foremost
among the sofa lakes of Wyoming. The
following from the territorial g~eologist' s
report of 1889, will give an idea OF the
magnitude OF the Gill lakes and the puri-
ty of the soda contained therein: The
group of lakes is situated in section
twenty six, township thirty five north,
range seventy-eight west. and is six miles
north of the Platte river at the old Fid-
dleback ranch. | have passed the latter
