WYOMING WESTERN.
Progress In Building the New Coal
Spur.

The Oregon Short Line has placed
in operation seven and a half miles of
the Wyoming Western to Glencoe.
This is part of the new coal spur at
Kemmerer, which is to open up some
new and extensive mines. No 4 of the
Diamond company is now reached by
the railroad and will soon be shipping.
In addition to this spur the kemmer-
err Coal company of Kemmerer. Wyo..
is building a spur to another mine lei
kemmerer. This spur connects with
a spur already build to mine No. l.
The Utah Construction company has
the contract and the tracts will be own
ed by the Oregon Short Line when
completed.
All told. about twenty-five miles of
new track will be put in around Dia-
mondville and kemmerer. and those
two places, it is expected. will become
the greatest coal camp in the west.
The two Goa companies will devote
their energies and development work
to adding to their commercial coal ton
mage. while the Oregon Short Line will
open up a mine of its own to supply
the wants of the railroads.&c. Lake

The Wrong Man.

Romin left the saloon and walked up
and down the street. After a time he
caught sight of McFadden. and follow
ed him. The street was in darkness
and there were many people Congre-
gated in front of the stores and Sa-
looms. Romin walked a little way and
overlook a man who he thought IA
McFadden. He walked up behind him
and drew his revolver. He fired one
shot and the man turned around and
faced him. He fired two more shots
and the man dropped in his tracks. Ro-
min stepped up, ben over his victim
and Uttered an oath of surprise. Then
he turned and fed.
The man on the ground was groan-
ing in pain, when bystanders picked
him up and carried him into a nearby
saloon. The shooting had occurred ex-
actly in front OF Marsh's clothing store,
but in the shadows of the building.
The face of the wounded man could
not be e plainly till he was carried
into the saloon and laid on a table.
Then 1t was found that he was James
Bracken, a p]rospector and miner who
has been working at the Kennedy mine
near Tie Siding. Romin had shot the
wrong man.
Two Wounds.
Two of the three bullets fired at him
had struck him. One entered his neck
on the right side and had come out
under his left arm. The other had
struck him on the chin and had come
out through his neck. He was barely
conscious and when the doctor examin-
ed him showed little chances of recov-
cry.
Almost at the instant the shooting
occurred Deputy Sheriff Knadler ar

PROGRESS OF THE SOUTH
marlabIe Industrial Growth
Down in Dixie.

The industrial progress Of the south
during the past 20 years is shown in a
late issue of the Manufacturers Rec
ord, from which it appears that the low
price Of cotton has had the effect Of
stimulating the output of other farm
products. In the past ten years the
production Of wheat has increased 81
per cent. in the south, and the num-
Der Of hogs raised there has during
that period nearly doubled. Seventy
two varieties OF field crops are now
grown where there formerly was moth
ing but cotton, and 65 varieties OF
vegetables, fruits and melons are
raised in the south for markets in the
north. While five years ago the cot
ton mills in the south consumed but
700. 900 bales Of cotton, their consump-
ton now amounts 10 nearly 1900. 900
bales in the $50 mills. with 4,o52, ,092
spindles and 104, ,f46 looms. The num-
Der Of mills has increased zO6, that Of
spindles and looms go per cent.
The finest blankets made in the coun-
try are now manufactured in North
Carolina. where I04 woolen mills are
in operation. The finest grade Of wool
can be grown in the south almost as
'cheaply as cotton. Two decades ago
the south produced annually but 6.0o0.-
000 tons Of bituminous coal; that prod
uct has rou passed the 40,010.0oo mark.
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1900-02-06

fields in the south only about 1000
are under development. While two
decades ago less than 500, tons of
iron were produced, that production
has now grown to 2,5Oo,o0 tons OF
very superior article. And the iron in
dustry in the south is as yet in its in
fancy. There are enormous iron ore
deposits in different parts Of that sec
tion Of the country which have thus
FAR not been touched at al. This is but
a short summary of the progress made
in the south during the past 20 years,
but it sufices TO indicate the possibili-
ties Of that part of the country and
what is in store for it in the future,
since it is no longer limited TO cot
to1.-Deuver Post.

A WISE MOVE.

The movement so splendidly be-
gun to bring leading citizens of the
Indian Territory together on
Washington's birthday at South
McAlester in a convention that
will have for its object the better
ment of the conditions that pre-
vail here, will be FAR reaching in
its influence and prove a mighty
impetus to the work of transform
ing this country into prosperous
wealth. There are a great
n 20 nsn Ia the Indian Territory,
and some of their names are signed
to the petition calling the conven-
ton, who know infinitely more
about affairs in the Indian country
than all the congressman in Wash
ington. The woeful lack of relia-
bic information relative TO the
Indian Territory has been the d.
rect cause of vast amount
of reckless and wild legislation.
All classes of people have been, and
are the sufferers from this lament
able ignorance on the part of legis-
lators in Washington and the ennis
saries of the government in the
territory. The movement is in
deed timely and it is wonderful
that the step has not been taken
before. Let the wisest and best
posted men in the whole country
be selected from the different To-
caIities to go as delegates. 1t is
we'll that it is a non-partisan
movement, and the whole people |
are alike interested in the action
contemplated. i
