FACTS ARE BACKED
A Glowing Letter Written by May
or C. W. Riner.
Central Shops of the Ulion Pacific
to bs Located Here.
A Million a Year and Extensive
City improvements.

The letter below was written TO D. C..
Bridges, manager of the Interior com
Dany, by Mayor Riner in response to a
note of inquiry:
In reply to yOur inquiry for facts backed
by contract and reliable information
which tends to effect Ch%eyenne's future
prosperity, | am pleased to state hat the
Union Pacific Rsil-oad COMPANY has en-
tered into a contract, or agreement, with
the city OF CHEYENNE to build its central
shops at this point, which contem plates
an expenditure of nearly a million dollars
per year for the next five years and which
as you know, has already been begun on
a magnificent scale, and will, when fully
completed, give employment to over 1000
mechanics.
The city in said contract agreed to va
cate twenty nine streets and alleys to give
room for this great network of sidings
and shops, also to construct one tunnel
and two viaducts, two of which are to be
constructed this year at a cost OF S75,-
000.
In addition to the above the city is to
expend about so, 900 in improving the
water system. also a street car line aud
water mains will be laid into Interior
Heights when twenty FIVE dwellings shall
have been completed in said addition.
The viaduct crosses the railroad tracks at
Central avenue and the tunnel at Snyder
street interesting York avenue.
The Cheyenne X Northern is being ex-
to a connection with the North
western and also to the Hartville iron
mines which almost guarantees the build
ing OF one OF more snelters and a found
~ at this point.
The Burlington" will doubtless ex-
tend their line n%orthward into the rich
mineral fields OF the interior of Wyo-
ming as they have already secured the
right of way out of the city.
The bill nov before the United States
senate, having passed the house. asking

ignates Cheyenne as the capital of the

who Faced the Giant.

Interest in athlet les 10 Cheyenne is or

preached. The Billy Mad lea combina-

Keefe hail last evening. Tho audience
included some OF the city's best men.
Bert Thompson had another picnic. He
played with young HUDSON, who, how
ever, was much the lighter aud innocent

rounds. pleasing the crowd immensely
with their clever and spirited work.

punches, delivered quite carelessly By Nc
Aulife. Marks weighs over 200 pounds

Bright IN Captures the Hearts OF the

One would hardly look for romance in the

There was once upon the Central Park lake,
New York, a flock of tame ducks, and one
autumn a wild flock, during migration, came
plunging down TO rest, among them a drake
of magnificent plumage and fiery eyes, who
spied out the tame ducks and soon scraped
acquaintance, playing the part OF the enam-
Ored swain. His flock left him, yet he lin
gered on, not without results. This tame
male leader lost his influence and power; his
feathers were dingy and rough compared to
those of the gallant cavalier from the far
north, and finally he was beaten and driven
away, a forlorn and miserable object that
spent his time on the bank devising, perhaps,
schemes for the overthrow Of his enemy.
The Wild drake completely captivated the
females by his Establishments the old lovor
was ignored, and the conqueror, the bold
knight, remained for several seasons faithful
to his now loves.
mat attractive dress and features have
their effect upon ii.s female mind among
the animals ther" not tine slightest doubt.
The director u lac Berlin gardens relates
that q male pheasant having lost its tail
feathers, which gave it n ludicrous appear
ance, it was Immediately spurned by the
females, who took up with another cock pos
sessed of greater personal attractions. In
other words, the females, as In the human
family, prefer an attractive lover or husband
according to their ideas, and are very like
the lowest tribes OF human beings today,
where the biggest and most powerful man
has the most wives.
In an African tribe the men steal to q
camp, knock down the woman OF their choice
with a club aud drag her away to their home.

RELIEVED OF HIS WEALTH.
A Young Colorado Man Robbed OF
sIO5.

Yesterday Afternoon Two young men
stood at the ticket window in the Union
Pacific depot. One was Charley Argos
heimer of this city and the other a young
man VINO had Just arrived from Denver.
The latter was purchasing rs ;lrOad and
sleeping car tickets to Caldwell, Idaho,
and in paying for the same hauled a roll
of bills out of his hip pocket. Selecting
several OF them he replaced the balance
in his pocket. As he stood a moment
before the window counting some small
change a rather neatly dressed Mexican
approached him and extending a card on
which was written Rock Springs" asked
inwhat direction that town was from
Cheyenne. The Colorado man took the
card and replied that it was west. At
the same moment another man passing
the two gentlemen at the window iostled
against them apparently accidentally. He
apologizsd and a moment later moved
on.
The young man from Colorado moved
away from the window but returned few
minutes later making inquiries for the
Mexican who was so anxious about Rock
Springs. The man who iostled against
hun a few minutes before was a coufeder
ate ofthe Mexican aud had picked the
Colorado mans pocket, getting away with
SlO5. The matter was at once reported
to the police. but no traces have been
Of the thieves. The Colorado man

THE PIPE LINE,
Its Construction VIII Give cheyenne
Cheap Fuel.

Speaking of the Wyoming and Denver
Pipe Line company the Bessemer Journal
says: In a recent conversation with p.
L. Mcnamara. the secretary OF the COM
pany, we learned that he was gong to
stay in tine fields this hummer himself,
and it is now expected hat they will be
gin the work of developing this spring.
As soon as they ascertain that there is sui
fcient oil 10 thu Oil mountain or any
other basin TO Justify, they will then com
mence the work Of the pipe line. Dem
yer capitalists fully understand the value
of the move and a large number of them
are taking a deep interest in it.
The liue as now proposed would leave
the fields somewhere near Bcssemer, pass
through the canyon south of town and
through the Hole, over Laramie plains;
fr, m Il ere to the Colo line, thence il t! 0
most direct and practical route to Denver.
Laramie would be made the supplying
point along the Union Pacific, by run
ming a branch liue from the main one to
that point, A line will also be run to
Cheyenne. THIS would give all these
points the cheapest OF fuel, and large
manufacturing establishments would seek
for a location there. Three pumping and
storage stations would be required, the
first of which would be at the starting
point, and this would doubtless be in or
close to Bessemer. The building of the
Pacific Short Line through Natrona
county this year will be a great advan-
tage to the company aud will largely aid
them in their work.

Good sponges have become so ex-
pensive that they are a luxury to be
enjoyed only by those well to do. or
course you can buy a reef sponge
cheap. Il small one costing only a few
cents; but if you want a Turkey cup
sponge large enough for bathing pur-
poses you will have to pay $4 or IS.
Sponges come all sizes; the largest
one ever saw measured twenty inches
across. These very large sponges are
likely not to be perfect, and they do
not bring as good prices as smaller and
better ones. The largest of the perfect
kinG measures about fourteen inches
across the tupaud nine inches through,
such a sponge being worth about $50.
1t is too large for bathing purposes,
and too expensive to be used in wash
ing carriages, and is kept by dealers
for a chance customer. A good size
bathing sponge is about eight inches
across the top and five through and is
worth SS.-Boston Globe.
