Cemetery Should Have Attention.

A visit to to the cemetery reveals
the fact that our city of the dead" is
increasing in population very fast,
There have been very many new
graves within the past two years. A
number of the mounds are marked
by very neat monuments and others
are enclosed with fences. Yet, not
withstanding the care taken of many
of the graves and the attempts made
to protect them from de%predations of
stock, there is an air of desolation
and neglect about the entire grounds
which is depressing.
There should a substantial fence
enclosing the entire burying ground
and the sage brush should be remov-
ed and the streets laid out and clean
ed. As it now stands the entire Gem
etery is open to every rowing band of
sheep, or herd of cattle or horses, and
the footprints of stock often mar the
little mounds Of earth. When these
Improvements are made the grounds
can soon be made very presentable.
1t is a spot marked by many pathetic
scene and attempts at decoration
and loving hands have done what
they could to relieve the ~barrenness
and desolation surrounding the spot,
but so long as it is left open to the
range, none of hat delicate decora-
ton or adornment so dear to the
hearts of those left behind, can be
made without danger of having it
marred or totally destroyed.

Dillon E. Wright Accidentally Killed.

Dillon E. Wright, well known here a
driver for the Grand Encampment
Transportation company, was found
dead about . o'clock Monday afternoon,
on the road between the Kurtz- Chatter
ton mine and Encampment. His head was
crushed between the lumber on his wag-
on and a tree by the side of the road.
1t is supposed that the team got beyond
control coming down a steep hill and
that the wagon, which struck a tree by
the road side, threw him off, the load OF
lumber catching his head between 1t
and the tree, causing instant death.
Deceased was a member Of the X. Z.
lodge of this place and George w. Sis
son and DIR. A. NJ. Sears went up and
had the body prepared for shipment
and it was taken to Walcott and shipped
east to Grand Junction, Colo, yesterday
morning, accompanied by his younger
brother, Guy j. Wright, where deceased
has a brother and sister living. George
w. Sisson and NJ. B. Moore went to Wal
colt with the body Deceased was a
very exemplary young man and had
many friends wherever known.

Shooting at Rambler.

This Saturday morning a shooting at
fray that may result fatally occurred at
Rambler, our adjoining camp down the
mountain, in which John H. Scott shot
James Younker, the bullet entering
Just beneath the ribs on the right side,
and not yet located by DR.. Alexander of
this city, who was called. The two men
have been mining together in Hog Park,
and it was a dispute over a settlement.
1t ppears that Younkers walked up to
Scott and without any preliminaries hit
him a terrific blow on the side Of the
head and then proceeded to kick and
beat him up. As a matter of self pre-
servation, Scott managed to pull a gun
and fred. Younker vas taken to his
hotel, and at this writing it is impossi
BILE to estimate his chances Of recovery.
Scott will have his preliminary examin-
alton before Justic OF the Peace, Robert
II. Young. 1t is an occurrence that is
deplored by all, but Scott says that he
believed he was in deadly peril when he
used protective measures, Younker be-
ing a much larger man than Scott.
Lateral a preliminary examination
just held, a strong case of self defence
was proven, and Scott was discharged
from the custody of Deputy Sheriff Tom
Elwood, who had made the arrest i'm
mediately following the shooting.-Bat-

Saratoga a Summer Resort.

SARATOGA should become popular, as
the population of the state increases, as
a summer resort. 1t has every advant-
age to commend it to the public as a
place to go to spend the summer months,
a delightful bracing climate, beautiful
scenery, medical hot waters, splendid
drives and the finest fishing ground the
world ever offered, all OF which soothe
tired nerves and recuperate worn out
fysteins.
Not until we can have railroad com
munication with the outside world can
we hope to see this idea brought to per
lection, but as soon as that is an accom-
plished fact, we may expect to see this
place thronged with pleasure and health
seekers from all over the West as well
as the East. There is Il charm about
tue scenery here, the grand and beauti-
full North Platte river, the Medicine
Bow and Sierra Madre ranges, looming
up on either hand, all lend enticement
and pleasure to tho situation. Few
places in the west can compete with
Saratoga for beauty Of scenery and
charming, healthful climate and there is
nothing to stand in the way Of its be
coming famous as Il summer resort in
the near future.

TUE West has much to hope from
President Roosevelt in the matter of ir-
rigation. The President was for some
time a resident of Wyoming, is familiar
with the West and with western people
and knows, from practical experience,
the needs OF the West in that line. Not
much is to be expected of the East in
this matter, for no one. not familiar
with the arid country, has any concep-
ton Of its vast possibilities when land
and water are brought together. Next
to having a President from one of the
Rocky Mountain states the West may
look with confidence to President Roose-
welt for an intelligent and comprehen-
sive grasp of the needs of irrigation in
~terests, assured that he will do all in his
power TO help forward national legis-
lation in that line.

covered with sage brush. The soil here
is rich aud yields abundantly. Every
thing in the shape Of grain, hay, vege.

with a minimum OF labor and there is q

of the most important moves ever made
in the state and we hope that all hands
will put their shoulders to the wheel

pointed, for all depends upon the char
