and Mrs. Pssken feel daePly the loss
of their two lovely daughters In the
scourge Of sicknoss that visited Col
Inns last fall. Mrs. Eva Mosm an
went with US to the beautifu. cemetery
whera they lie buried and Willie the
new growing leaves and grass cover
the Silent little mounds the sorrowinS
sister tended with gentle hand the
growing plants that keep in memory S
store house kind thoughts OF the de-
parted dear ones.
Our hurried visit to Collins was en-
ded and we re turned via Greeley for
our homeward trip through Cheyenne
TO Laramie. We spent this WAITING
at Greeley in visit to the court of
our new Judge Eennet. a motion
was being argued by nm old grand
army man and a much younger law
yer with strong lungs. Judge Bennett
looks like an honest man and will
doubtless make an acceptable Judge.
From Greeley we went through
that gar,ien spot of northern Colorado
Fields budding with new life, grain,
gardens; orchards, pastures, trees,
nice homes and indications Of plenty
everywhere, and all brou ght about by
the magic of irrigation. One could
not help thinking of Egypt and the
greatness it reached in the days of
the Pharoahs, and all from irrigation
OF its arid soil. But we leave the
irrigated belt long before Cheyenne
Is reached and pass through many
miles Of arid land, only waiting the
irrigating ditch to be turned into
fertile fields and the sites Of future
happy homes.
Cheyenne; and wait of two hours
fo- the train west, but Immediately on
leaving the car we were captured by
FL odie and Mrs. Clarke, to whom we
meekly surrendered, who took us
home and it is needless to say we
spent one twenty-four hours most
pleasantly. Prof. Clarke, well known
in Walden, is an expert ut his busi-
ness and has in fact as few idle hours
as any man perhaps in Cheyenne.
Next day he took us round to the U.
p. Machine shops and Round House.
We passed through number of diff
rercnt departments and found good
many of the seven hundred employ es
busy at their various occupations
One group, was operating II bolt ma
chine; another, the great lathes that
turn the car and engine wheels, and
still another were heating an iron
cylinder inches in diameter 10
pound it'out IN bars about 2 by 4
under powerful steam hammer,
which lad operated. That hammer
seemed to actually possess intelligence.
Myl but didn't 1t strike and didn't
the sparks fly, and that red hot iron
change shape, nll in few minutes.
But all this intricate, powerful and
useful machinery cannot be operated
without men. Smoke and dirt be-
grimmed men. The UNION takes of
its hat to the l;,borlng man; and
chcerfully admits that it is in the
presence OF the real power that
moves the business OF the world 1t
is wonder that intelligent organized
labor does not become more power
full factor in the actual government
of the world. But i. seems the ten
dcncy IS that way. Success attend
it. When man stands along side
of one Of those monster double com
pound engines now operated on the
Union Pacific he realizes how small
he is. But wait minute. Can that
monster of iron and steel and brass
turn wheel or putt n puff without
his creator and operator--the laboring
man? Not much. No factory, no
machine, no continuance is worth any
thing without intelligent human labor.
Next in Importance to man himself is
good honest human toll. Humanity
and labor, intellectual and manual
the most sacred things on earth.
