CYRAN0,
SPRING HUNTING.

The farmers in the neighborhood OF
Williw Island, Neb., have hit upon a
novel method OF Kidding themselves Of
the great fiocks of ducks and geese
which every spring make their appear
ance and pick up grain almost as fast
as Vt Is sown. They now have a stand
ing agreement with Engineers Costin,
Harris and Roffee to come down there
and slaughter these birds. These gem
tlemen left for that place last night
and will no doubt serve the d~endzens of
the air as Dewey did the Spaniards.
Mr.. Costin said that in the eighteen
ears he has lived in Laramie he has
never missed having at least one good
old goose hunt in Nebraska. The party
will be prepared to furnish feathers in
unlimited quantities for feather beds
and for goose grease they will be able
to bust" the market.
The Tregoning hunting party return
ed from the Hutton lakes yesterday,
having captured a very fair bag OF
ducks and geese. They report the
sport not as good as 1t would have been
had the weather been more favorable,
They were Obliged to miss the morn
ing and evening flights owing to the
severity Of the storm and worked hard
for the birds secured.
c. N. Settele. George Campbell and
Ed Richards came in today from Hut
ton lakes and their faces were a sorry
looking sight. In fact they were snow
burned so badly that it hurt them to
even smile much less laugh and Ed
Richards couldn't open his mouth to
eat without his face painting him, in
TACT he was suffering severely from the
enects OF the exposure, and to make
matters worse the party did not find
any ducks. The lakes had frozen IN
Sunday night and the birds were gone.

CHARLES PEABODY HEARD FROM.
The Only Laramieite to Remain in the
Copper River Country.

Charles Peabody, who is the only
one of the Copper river party of Lara
mie prospectors to remain in the frozen
north, writes to his relatives. in Lara
mie, the following being an extract from
the letter, which is of interest to many:
Rapid City, alutinK River, Alaska,
Feb. 10, 1S99.-Tt has been some time
since we heard from you for the glacier
has been closed to travel. We had a
mail a couple of weeks g but it was
made up only of remnants OF last falls
letters. You may wonder We were
forced to winter in this region. AS l
wrote, we bought a burro in the fall.
AS the weather began to get chilly we
had our outfit all prepared for a shoot
up the river, impatient to start. No
vember was passing but not until the
latter part did this river freeze up. The
first morning we walked across 1t was
% below zero, three days later 40 be-
low. Then word came up that the Cop
per was gorged and overlooking. This
river would break out and overflow,
parts remaining open all winter. Then
mule began to fail and we fed beans
and corn meal and hay, but no go. Eth
er the water (bad) or the hay was do
ing, or the cold very likely.
December was the coolest month-30
often, 40 frequently, As once. Down at
the center it ranged 10 lower. By this
time we were about as well satisfied
We had not moved There was a great
deal Observation-Disclosures and black
leg, a form of scurvy and frozen feet
due to overflows. You have no idea
how penetrating the cold is or how
quick water will freeze. When O
have been out a little while frost will
form on the outside of your mockinans.
Early in the winter / went oven TO haul
in some hay, about two miles from
here, and when l got back found the
toes Of one foot frosted.
At this time many who started I'D the
river have returned. All along the
Copper river scurvy has been preva-
lent. A large number OF cases at Cen
tire, three having died. 1t is a loath-
some disease, the legs turn black and
the joints stiffen.
Many are going ove totheTekel coun-
try, south of here, and l lave decided
to put in the summer there myself. I
made a couple of trips over there last
summer and feel there is some chance
yet.
With the party who takes this letter
are Storey, Buck and Ringert. I saw
some go by here not long ago ON
c%rutches, n several hauled on sleds.
Some little gold has been taken out
on Omartz creek this winter, but the
water is troublesome-the ground does
not freeze as deeply here as on the other
side CHAS. T. PEABODY.

nAKEN TO RAWLINS.
May be Necessary to Make a Ferry Over
the Sweetwater.

Colonel c. G. Coutant left last night
with the remains of George Sheldon,
going as far as Rawlins, where they
will be taken charge of by Mr.. Ras-
mussen Colonel Coutant is unable to
attempt the trip to Lander on account
OF the snow and condition of the roads,
his health not being strong enough to
permit it. Some other person will go
from Rawlins to Lander with the body.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Knight tele-
phoned over and kindly volunteered to
ACCOMPANY the remains to their home,
but was informed that arrangements
had been made . From a letter receiv-
ed by Judge Brown yesterday it was
learned thai the bridge on the Sweet
wafer had gone out and that the roads
are in very bad, shape, the last storm
has caused serious delay in the mails
and the stage due from Lander in Raw
Inns last Friday did not arrive until
Monday. Colonel Coutant says that it
has been necessary in times past to
cross the Sweetwater OF a ferry and
that IL the old boat Is not there or is
not safe a new one can be built and the
remains of young Sheldon can be tax
en- over without much delay, but ow-
ing to the storm the trip will necessari-
ly be a long one.

MORE SNOW.

The weather has modified very much
since yesterday, and the snow melts
nearly as fast as it falls and makes the
streets muddy. On the hill another
severe snow storm was prevailing and
freight trains were held till it would
stop. The rotary and push plows kept
the line open for passenger traffic.
One of the railroad men said today
that he hoped the ranchmen and placer
miners had water enough to suit them
this season, but il not that a little more
snow wouldn't make much difference
to him.

The following article taken from n
of the eastern college papers gives a
splendid idea of the value and use of
college journalism, especially to the
students themselves:
college journalism has become a
striking feature of educational institu-
tons throughout the United States. 1t
IS a little newspaper world in itself and
fills a van previously felt in educa-
tional circles. Its object and its ideals
are peculiarly its own. The produc-
tons of college papers should be, We
think, the reflex Of the students mind.
They should deal with subjects that he
is struggling to master, and above all,
they should be honest products OF his
labor and skill. While he is at liberty
to take all that he can draw from the
great ~storehouse of knowledge, he is
not permitted either by the standard
of Justice or ethics to use any mans
thoughts or words without giving full
credit to the author. Within these linn
its, which are very wide, and quite suf-
icient to satisfy the most aspiring gen
ius, he has full scope for the play Of his
imagination and intellectual faculties.
Here it may not be out of place to say,
matter which is regarded as common
property he is at perfect liberty to make
his own, If no has so assimilated it as
to become part and parcel of his
thoughts"
One of the London magazines has
written to the university asking for a
picture of a certain tree taken by Prof.
Euffum when on his botanical trip in
80. The picture, it will be remem-
bered, is taken of a tree growing on
the top of a hill with its roots growing
from the ground, over rocks, for forty
five feet. The picture is considered
quite a curiosity in a botanical sense.

an arrangement will meet with the
greatest success as Prof. Gilkison Is
well fitted for his position, having taken
military drill and tactics for five years
at Fort Collins, and graduating with
the rank Of captain. The professor is
we'll known to be a good disciplinarian
and this too will be in his favor.
