BRICKS AND WOOL.
Excellent Brick Made at Denver Of
Cheyenne Clay.
The Trip Hammer Plant Will Be
Placed at Once.
Every Prospect for a WooIen Mill
in the Near Future.

Rees c. Wider and c. Z. Moore ar
rived from Denver Yesterday with sam-
Piles of Cheyenne clay brick made by the
Andrews Tip Hammer machine. They
received the praise Of all to whom they
were shown. To one knowing nothing of
building material it was plain that the
machine Product were far superior in
every RESPECT save finish to any brick ever
made by hand here. The roughness that
marks what is known to the trade as
in the specimens first shown here as work
of the trip hammers. The brick come up
fully to the expectations of Mr.. Wider,
the machine agent, and he goes so far as
to say that Cheyenne clay excels that
found near Denver.
Several brick were sent to Union Pc
cifc Construction Engineer Butler for
testing snd 10 a few days every property
Of the brick will be known. Mr.. Butler
was favorably impressed with the ap-
pearance OF the cubes. If his investiga-
ton results as Mr.. Wider and his asso-
ciates confidently anticipate it will, it is
quite probable that Cheyenne trip ham
mer brick will be largely used in the con-
struction of this years shops.
The Andrews Trip Hammer brick
yar6s will be established without delay.
When Mr.. Lee, treasurer of The In
vestment Association was before the
Board Of Trade trustees Wednesday. he
gave that body a pointer that soma OF its
members believe should be acted upon
without delay. He said there were ssv-
eral small wool factories at Philadelphia
that barely managed to exist in that field
of keen competition and monopolistic big
concerns. He said that these men had as
a rule good plants, but limited capital and
could scarcely make interest on the money
invested, let alone profit, adding that they
would quickly move to a field that offered
inducement.
President Hav, who has been in the
wool business, told how this viciuage was
shipping feeces and bringing back the
cloth and demonstrated in a lew words
that a mill could be operated here very
proftably.
A mill can be secured through the
agency of Mr.. Lees company, but it is
quite likely that home capital will con-
tribute largely to the enterprise, as all
believe that there is big money in the
business.

co-operative Home winning.

Scribner's Magazine for May contains
an interesting article on the question OF
building associations by Mr.. w. A. Linn,
who is recognized as an expert and au-
thority on the matter throughout the
United States and England.
In the article in question Mr.. Linn re
views the history OF building as sociations
and presents a number of statistics which
show that no more safe or successful
means of saving and accumulating none
has ever been employed by workmen,
clerks. mechanics or investors.
At Il monthly expenditure OF an amount
not exceeding the rental of a moderate
house a home car be acquired in a com
paratively short time by any one wishing
to obtain one. The plan affords an easy
method Of paying off encumbrances. A
mortgage, which under ordinary circum-
stances is often a permanent fixture upon
many homes, is soon wiped out by taking
a loan from 3 building association instead
of from a money lender.

expense, aud the 50 callel national in

Linn says: ANY man can see that a ma

its loans must be infinitely greater, cannot
be as profitable to its members as a local
association, whose expenses a few hun

A Little Anecdote That May BE d.
gested With Profit.

A gentleman who has made money in
Cheyenne by continued and ~judiciously
advertising of his wares tells a story that
merits reproduction.
An advertising agent called upon the
head of IN old and prominent firm. That
gentleman received him politely, but in
formed him that his house had no occa
sion whatever for advertising, as it was
well known and had done all the adver-
Using that was requisite in its earlier
days.
Indeed responded the agent, 80
you think that your advertising in earlier
days is sufficient to carry you along now?"
Il do was the confident reply.
will you kindly tell me the name of
the vice presidential candidate on the
Republican ticket the election before
last?"
The big man scratched his head for a
moment, looked abashed and replied,
We'll. no, | can't"
DO you know OF any man who was
better advertised at that time?"
The agent left the store with a contract
in his pocket.

An Important oficIaI Change.


1t is rumored that soon after the first
Of May one of the mo t radical changes
which has taken place in the management
of the Union Pacific in several years will
be made in the freight auditors depart
ment.
At the head of the latter tor some
years has been Mr.. Andrew S Van
Kuran. who also enjoyed the title OF
freight; claim agent of the read. For
some time past it has been understood
that the management contemplated
dividing this responsibility and erecting
the latter feature into a department with
a titled head. who should rank the prin-
cipal of any of the departments of the
road and report only to Mr.. Mellen.
This change will, it is said, go into
effect on May l.. William FL. Hancock.
who has been assistant freight claim agent
will, it is thought be promoted to the
position of general freight claim agent
with supervision also Of the loss and
damage department OF the work. His
jurisdiction will extend over all the road,
including the offices at Kansas City, St.
Joe and Portland.

General Manager Dickinson tells the

Elkhurn pay their branch line men as
low as $50 for conductors and $45 for
brakemen. On their main lines conduc-
tors get only 500 and mileage is not taken
into consideration.
In my opinion, it was a mistake to

Fifteen Letters in Arapahoe.

Father Scollen was up from the mission
yesterday, says the Lander M~outaiaeer,
and showed the reporter the manuscript
of an Arapahoe vocabulary and grammer
on which he has been at work three
weeks. Father Seollen has lived with
the Indians of the Northwest for years,
speaks several Indian tongues and is the
first white man who has ever attempted
to reduce the %gutteral Arapahoe to a
written language.
He finds that only fifteen letters are
required in Arapahoe and that while
there are some rules and exceptions they
are few. He expects to have his work
completed in about four months, so that
any white man with ordinary intelligence
and some application can master Arapa
hoe without trouble.

A GRAND MONUMENT.

Citizens Determined to Have the

The most striking and beautiful feature
of the celestial panorama in May, lex to
the moon, will be the planet Venus. Be-
fore the close of evening twilight, high
above the western horizon and a little
south of the exact westerly point, Venus
will be seen. It will be in view an hour
and a half later than the sun, and forty
or fifty minutes of this time it will be a
rarely charming object. Venus is not yet
in it. brightest phase, but even now. when
the atmosphere is at all favorable for
observation, it is well worth seeing.
Saturn will rank next to Venus in in
terest for the star gazers during the next
few weeks. The ringed planet will be
seen a little west and south of the zenith
point when it comes into view soon after
sunset

FLEW TO
Bursting OF a Big Fly Wheel at the
Blacksmith Shop.

The seven foot fly wheel at the new
Union Pacific blacksmith shop met with
the fate Of the wonderful one horse shay
yesterday afternoon.
An accident befell the governor and the
engine rin wild for a few seconds. The
fly wheel attained incredible speed and
burst into nearly a hundred pieces.
The fragments few violently with the
wheel motion. A big chunk of iron was
hurled through the roof, another against
a window casing, taking away some of the
brick wall, still another piece struck the
south wall, but had lost considerable force
before collision. With astounding swift
ness one big fragment shot between two
men working at a fire. All danger was
passed before anyone had time to become
frightened. Fortunately no one was in
jured.
The engineer was only a few feet from
the machine when it ran away, but was
unable TO reach the valve in time. Me
chanics remarked that the wheel did not
break where spllced.
Superintendent Munro at on,e drew a
requisition on the supply department for
another wheel. In the meantime a
wooden one now building will be used.
This makeshift will he In place this after
noon when the shop machinery will be
started up again.
The accident drew a big crowd to the
scene.

to the front to meet the invaders and was
addressed b. Judge Kuyk Kendall. He
was told that his FELLOWS appreciated be-

and as a slight token desired to present
him with a dinner set and a silver table

Elk Mountain Coal.


The Burlington road, in all probability,
will not build in Laramie this summer.
We sit down in sack cloth and ashes to
write this. The syndicate which pur,
chased the Elk mountain coal fields and
which is supposed to be backed by the
Burlington has decided to run a spur
from the coal lands to the Union Pacific.
The coal will be shipped therefore over
the Union Pacific to Cheyenne. where it
will be transferred to the Burlington
road.
The Boomerang understands that this
arrangement is only temporary. 1t is the
desire of the Burlington to thoroughly
test the Elk mountain coal and lift proves
satisfactory, especially as fuel for en-
gines, an extension through Laramie will
undoubtedly be built.
