Sheriff Martin and his prisoner we're

HoteI Lang nt RawIIn..

A LEADER reporter had occasion to
stop the other day at the Pacific hotel in
Rawlins where can be seen, perhaps, as
great a variety of character as at any
other place on the continent. To sit at
table in this hotel where over 400 meals
are served daily and listen to the CONVEX
sation of the surrounding guests affords
ample opportunity for the study of human
nature and especially the American char
acter.
Here n comes in contact with railroad
employees, ranchmeD, professional and
business men of the town, travellers of
every nationality and the real cowboy as
he is, Everything about the hotel is like
clockwork and the big crowd is nicely
taken care of. Nine dining room girls
are employed and they are not the least
interesting of the occupants Of the house.
They are always 10 a rush, but a smile or
pleasant word does not necessitate any
loss of time.
The girls receive good wages. Coca
~sionally a new girl is needed to fill the
place OF one who has met her fate, no less
than four having married within as many
weeks. Mr.. Callahan, the manager, is
proud of the Pacific, and well be may be,
for the bill of fare is fne-the bill for meat,
fish aud game alone amounting to over
$500 per week.

WYOMING AT THE FAM.
The SeeretarY-Efect Calls at Head
quarters in Chicago.

DR.. A. W. Barber. recently elected
secretary of state of Wyoming. was at
worlds fair headquarters yesterday and
had a long conversation with Secretary
Butterworth, says the Chicago Herald of
Saturday. He states that without ques
ton there will be a large exhibit of fish
from his state at the exposition. As
women are permitted to vote in Wyo-
ming, he stated that their efforts in max
ing a display would be very strong and
doubtless would result in a very fine ex-
hibit. Minerals, and prominently among
them Tin. would be a great feature of
Wyomlng's contribution to the fair. An
English syndicate is now working the tin
mines Of Wyoming, and by 1898 would
very likely develop the production of tin
to a very high degree.

J. M. BARR.
He is AT Portland on an Extremely
Pleasant Errand.


james NJ. Barr, ex-superinteudent OF
the Wyoming and Nebraska divisions of
the Union Pacific, is at Portland. He has
gone up there, The LEADER learns, to
pick out q job for himself. Mr.. Barr has
been rendered the management of the
Oregon Railway Il Navigation company
or any part OF it, including the steamer
line to Alaska. Acceptance will place
him at the head of Union Pacific affairs in
the Northwest and make him one of the
very biggest men in the service of the
company.
Barr has alresdy made his mark in the
railway world. Before leaving Omaha
be was offered three places better than
the one he resigned and at more salary,
but declined, 10 take a look at the North
west. Barr is called a second Tom Pot
ter. The latter excelled in knowledge of
train handling details. but the new star is
a master OF all sorts of office work in addi-
ton to being quite proficient in practical
r~ailroading. Ho has few rivals in the
construction department, as his work on
the Burlington & Northern showed. He
is a man Of quick decision, notable execu-
tive ability and has a knaek Of getting on
with his men. Of surrounding himself
with competent and faithful retainers.
The LEADER confidently expects j. M.
Barr to become a big figure in the railway
world, and will be glad Of it. because be is
a friend to Cheyenne and because he is a
thorough man.
