HOME TALENT.

Winter 10 eminently the seaeon
Of amusenents. Dances, theatres,
concerts and shows of various kinds
are crowded into the few cold mon
this Of the year, and then comes a
long spell Of quietude. The people
look foreward TO the time when
these amusements shall begin with
great expectancy. In the sma,lre
towns the young people should pro
vide these occasions Of entertain
ment. the fathers and mothers have
spent much time in days gone by
for this and now feel To retire from
the list of merry makers and hand
over the honors TO their sons and
daughters. In the way OF theatricals
the youth are expected now to car
~ out the work. This season Cedar
home talent has presented one piece
on the stage. This piece showed that
talent, plenty Of it, can be found
here, and that there is no need of
It's being imported. Still, however,
the work has progressed 30 slowly
with home talent that outside COM
panies have found plenty Of room
70 slip In, and also plenty Of desire
70 patronise their shows. 80 much

been reduced several hundred dol
lars in cash. This money might
have been retained at home had
our young people taken bold of the
business In good earnest.

ches, that requires outside talent

these advantages at band, why will
We make room for Others 10 come
In and deplete our small stock of

amusements necessary for

great difficulty lies in the fact that
here.is 10 much dilatoryness. A
little more life wants to be infused
into the young men and ladies
Of ability, and when they present
themselves before the public, they
should be encouraged by a liberal
patronage. A united effort on the
part Of all will accomplish much
towards gaining the desired object

On some far distant day.
And OF the laugh tfat then will strive
To hide the grief away.

A Subject That Is Agitating Montana Cat
tlemen.
The stock growers convention, which
meets at Miles City tomorrow, will doubt
less take action on the recent order of Sec
rotary Jerry Rusk, concerning the ship
ment of cattle north of the government
dead line. Concerning this subject the
Denver News says:
Uncle Jerry Rusk, who bosses the depart
ment of agriculture of the United States,
entertains different ideas concerning the
cattle quarantine regulations from those of
several western governors. The latter spent
several months arranging a satisfactory
quarantine line. and now Hon. Mr.. Rusk
has stepped in and mashed The combina-
tho cattle shipments from Texas to
the north. Some time ago the governors of
Colorado, Wyoming and Montana agreed
on what they believed would be sufficient
quarantine regulations to secure their
states from any contagious diseases from
what Texas cattle that might pass through
en- route to Montana. The line was about
the same points that have always been
used and there has been no disease, but
from MIR. Rusk's action it would seem that
he had concluded the chief executives of
the states named did not know what they
were talking about. At any rate he has
moved the quarantine line about 200 miles
further north. This conflict of authority
will prove very embarrassing to the cattle
men. and especially to TIE railroads. Con
tracts had been made with the roads to
move many Thousand head of cattle to a
certain point, and now that the line has
been changed serious complications will
arise.
General Superintendent Duncan, of the
Union Pacific. stated that his line had been
storing cars i'll Texas for two weeks, and
the cattle ont. 1wo-thirds of the ship
ments are made through Denver to Wend-
over, Wyo., from which point the cattle are
driven to Montana. From what can be
learned, the change will not effect ship
ments from New Mexico and Arizona.
There is no telling how the conflict of au-
thority will end.

CROP BULLETIN,
The Outlook Favorable in Most Sections
of the Country.

Il Outlook Favorable in Most Sections
- of the Country.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-The weather crop
bulletin says: Seeding has been inter
rupted somewhat in the spring-wheat re-
giops of Dakota and Minnesota, but
ground is reported in excellent condition.
Crop conditions are greatly improved in
the Ohio and Mississippi valleys. Con
tinued rains delayed work in Nebraska and
Missouri, where crops are from two to four
weeks late. Conditions are improved in
Michigan and Wisconsin, although crops
are late, owing to excessive rains. In Iowa
80 per cent. of small grains has been
eeeded, and the rainfall has greatly
benefited all crops. On tho North
Pacific coast the weather was
favorable, fall wheat is reported growing
rapidly, spring wheat is up and fruit is in
full bloom. All crops and stock promise
unusually we'll. In the Sacramento valley
warm, sunshiny weather is needed. Grain
has been injured in some sections by the
Hessian fly. Other crops are excellent in
Sonoma valley, although the Bartlett pear
might be injured by blight unless sunshine
and wind prevent. In San Joaquin valley
grain prospects are greatly improved. All
crops are backward on account of cool,
cloudy weather, but the outlook ia gener-
ally good. In southern California cool,
cloudy weather has been unfavorable for
fruit, but rain has benefited grain md hay.

What MAY Hannen-

The summary manner in which w. H.
Holcomb, assistant general manager of the
Union Pacific, was fred on last Monday
caused lots of rejoicing among lots of Union
Pacific employees in this city, says the Den
yer News, and a great deal more with q
great many former men whose names were
once on the Union Pacific pay roll. The
return to power of Edward Dickinson.
who steps into the shoes of Holcomb.
suggests many changes that may occur.
For instance, among the score of sub
blnate officials who lost their official heads
about this time were a number of warm
friends OF Dickinson. He protested against
their removal az they we're thoroughly
competent, but Holcomb had it in for Dick
inson and all his pets and he took good
care to slaughter them all. He boosted
that no man should remain on the system
who had been schooled by Dickinson. II
would only be human if the latter should
show his loyalty to his friends by reinstat-
ing them. If he does, why some of Hol-
combs importations will have to walk. 1t
would not surprise anyone to see Bob Bax-
ter, former superintendent of the Wyoming
DIVISION, brought back from the east and
given n nice berth. 1t is said Joe Choate
could get a pretty good thing if no wanted
to ra1lroad again, but lie has had enough
and Is making more money looking after
private business. Jim Gilchrist, who wns
his assistant superintendent and got left
out in the cold. may get under Dickinson's
protecting wings.

Spokane have led to tho unearthing OF n
we'll organized gang of thieves. which have
been robbing freight cars on varions lines
i'll that section. Those arrested at Tacoma
are employees of the Northern Pacific.
just how the evidence against the men has
been secured is not known. but it is stated
some of the men arrested in Portland made
n confession involving many of their CON
federates. and tho officials have been anxi-
GUS to keep the arrests from tho public un-
til such a time that the whole gang could
be npprehended.
The confession of the mon arrested at
Portland shows that u great quantity of
miscellaneous stuff was taken, amongst
Others n tower clock consigned to a Tacoma
jeweler. The men. supposing the box con-
tanned something very valuable from tho
fact that it was consigned to II jeweler, un-
loaded II and upon opening and finding
what it was, they carried it up on the bay

dispose of it without detection.

Popular Move.

Within a short time the Santa Fe will be-
gin the construction Of \ little branch line
that will serve to increase the popularity Of
the line, IL, in fact, it does not make IL the
most popular Of all trs~nscontinental roads
so far as tourists are concerned. About
twenty-eight miles northwest of Peach
springs, Arizona, on the Atlantic a. Pa
cifc division, ia the Grand Canon of the
Colorado. The scenery in and about the
canon ID claimed to be the most attractive
on the continent, and il n railroad were
built to the canon many thousand tourists
would swarm there. The Santa Fe people
believe this at all events, and they propose
to back up their convictions by building
the road. There would be no heavy grades
and the twenty eight miles of track would
not cost much money, while its earnings
would make the exchequer of the company
much larger. Already there il consider
able travel to the canon from Peach Springs
on horseback, and it has increased 80 rap
idly that it has been found necessary 10
build another hotel at Peach Springs, while
a few enterprising natives have erected cot
tages near the canon. The Santa Ee will

this canon road is built. .
