park at the Laramie depot-one that
will be a credit to the Union Pacific and
to the city. Work will be pushed upon
it as rapidly as possible. Laramie re-

1t is rumored that the Union Pacific
company is about to secure the gov
eminent contract to supply coal for the
navy on the Pacific coast. II this is
consumated it will give an impetus to
business at the mines and on the road,
as it will require at least 100 cars per
day. The Rock Springs coal has been
tested on some Of the battle ships, and
is far superior to any other coal found
in the country. 1t Is immensely hot,
burns free and makes more steam in
less time than any other coal.-Uinta

One day last week Charles Popp lost
a suit of clothes from his room and be-
lieved that it had been stolen. A day
or so previous he had shown a travel
ing machinist through his apartments
and the departure Of the individual in
question led Mr.. Popp to believe that
he was the man who had taken the
suit. On July Fourth he was surprised
to see a stranger walking down the
street with his clothes on. The man
was accosted and said he had purchased
the clothes at Red Buttes from a man
who came through thre for the sum of
$40. Mr.. Popp gave him half Of the
purchase money and took the clothes.
