IT'S strange to me to think that l

1t strikes me almost dumb,
But what Is stranger far than this

Fen when this babe / see.
That you, SO youthful in my eyes,
A grandnSmma can be.
For though We've dwelt together nox
Some twenty years and more,
Time rests as lightly on your brow
AS back in sixty-four.
AND yet he's here. this little boy.
How he will bill and COO
When he discovers, to his joy,.
His grandmamma in you!
And how he'll laugh to look at me.
His funny old g%randdad!
All! little one, you seem to be
A lucky sort of lad.

IT is PRACTICALLY SETTLED.
The SmeIter Contract Will Soon BE
Closed UP.

There are now only two more deeds to
be placed in escrow with Treasurer Kent
and the great smelter proposition. which
has been so widely heralded abroad,
showing Chevenne's pluck, will have
been settled. 1t will probably all be
fixed up in a very few days.
Mr.. Blanchard and a number of promi-
nent capitalists will, in all probability,
arrive here the first of next week. The
thing might be said to now be firmly es-
tablished. The deed to arrive Yesterday
was Senator Carey's. Those yet ex-
pected are from Omaha. Councilman
Hellman is now in that city and is ex-
pected to see to it that they are promptly
forwarded.
The matter has hung fire somewhat
owing to the dilatory actions Of the
subscribers to the fund. but the goal is
now considered to be in plain sight
and cannot fail to be brought to a focus

STATE WATER MISSION.
II Was in Session at the State EngI-
neer's Office Yesterday.

The state water commission met yes
terday morning at the state engineers
Office and was in session all day. Mr..
Mead presided. The other members of
the board present were W. J. Clark of
Buffalo, w. Fl. Brown of Lander and j..
A. Johnston of CHEYENNE.
The adjudication of water rights on
Lake creek was taken up and considered
at great length. the most careful attention
being given to every point where a flaw
might be possible. The adjudication of the
waters of Lake creek was completed about
3 o'clock and the commission then took a
tussle with Cedar creek and were still
wrestling with the knotty questions in
volved Herewith, when time was called
and an adjournment taken. The commits
mission held their own pretty well with
the questions, and by the time adjourn
ment was taken the Cedar creek case
looked groggy. SO 1t can be truthfully
said that neither side was knocked out,
and the fight will be resumed this morn
ing.
Both Lake creek and Cedar creek are
tributaries of the Platte river. Today
the arguments will be heard in the con-
tests and it will probably be some time be-
fore the water rights cases will all be set
tied. All parts OF the state are repre-
scented by contestants.

A number OF papers IN the state are
mentioning Supt. Wurtele as a guberna-
torial possibility. He would certainly
make a good mar for the place. Just
before leaving on his trip to Mexico a

about the matter. He said to them seri
ously in reply: Gentlemen, 1 have nevel
had anything to do with politics and won
begin at this late day. l have no politi
cal aspirations and there is no office with

Snow on the east side of the Big Horn
Basin fell to the depth of eighteen inches
