FAST
RUN MADE BY THE UNION PA
CIFiC'S FAST MAIL
TRAIN.
It Covered the Fifty-Eight Miles Be-
tween Laramie and Medicine Bow
in Fifty-Five Minutes-Splsndid
Run by Veteran Engineer-Road-
masters Inspecting Line.

Fifty-eight miles in fifty five min
utes.
That was the record of Engineer
George Haskins on train No. 1O1 Sun
day morning. says the Cheyenne Tri.
bune.
Fifty-eight miles in fifty-five min
utes with a heavy train and several
SLOW orders when the train had to
come down to twenty miles an hour.
Train No. 101 Sunday morning did
no leave Cheyenne until 1:55 O'Clock,
and lay at Granite Canon until after
3 o'clock waiting for the derailed en-
CINE at Sabula to be hoisted back upon
the track by the big wrecker. Then
a quick run was made to Laramie, and
beyond there the record.
From Laramie to Medicine Bow is a
distance of fifty-eight miles OF track
good grades, and places where slow
orders are in effect with every engine
that passes over the line.
George Haskins. the veteran en-
gineer. on engine 1886, one of the big
compounds, a drawing number 1O1.
Conductor Wolcott had charge of the
delayed and time must be made up.
therefore Engineer Haskins started
out to make a record and did it. The
way he reeled off the miles brought
the mail clerks to their doors in alarm
and caused the train crew to look
grave. Around curves with a swish
chair car remember the days when
they played crack-the-whip. and the
ear brakeman hold his breath. the
train tore, gravel from the ballasted
road bed flying up against the win,
dows with a force hat threatened to
break them. Within ten miles of Lar.
attained, and from that point on un.
til the throttle was pushed up for the
stop at Medicine Bow. with the excep
ton of the slow order stretches, the
speed was over a mile in a a minute;
the mail clerks say a deal over.
Not content with the performance
between Laramie and Medicine Bow,
Engineer Haskins went after record
between the former place and Rawlins
covering the 11S miles in 145 minutes
including six stops Inc as many slow
downs.

JOHNSON COUNTY'S
BIG APPLE CROP.

Judge C. w. Bramel. who returned
from Buffalo Sunday, left at this office
this morning some apples grown two
miles from that county seat by his old
German friend and neighbor. John A.
Fisher. The apples will compare fav-
orably in flavor and size with any
grown III the more noted fruit belts.
MIR. Fisher" Judge Bramel said,
lis an old brewer. and when his bust
ness was injured by the changing of
the military post from one fort to an
other, he abandoned the making of
beer and went to raising fruit instead.
He has a ranch of about LOO acres,
and an orchard of bearing apple trees
and other sorts of fruit berries,
and demonstrates what that section
of Wyoming can do. OF course, there
is a difference of about 1000
feet in the altitude and he raises there
what would not grow here, but if any.
one says Wyoming is a barren waste
he need seek no further than John
Fischer's magnificent ranch for certain
disproof."

If the Rio Grande Western and

Grand Junction occupies a superior
position tor a great division point.
1t is geographically midway be-

that larger repair department has

The Colorado railroads yesterday de-
cided to grant but half rate fare to the
Festival of Mountain and Pain. This
action was taken on account Of the big
kick which was registered before the
railroads by the merchants in the smaller
towns Of the state Nearly two years
ago this paper took tho position that the
railroads Of Colorado In granting the
very low rate which they had been grant,
Ing to the Festival OF Mountain and
Plain were cutting of from the mer-
chants Of the state the cream of the
trade Of the year. Last year tho rate
granted to this city was only half rate
from Denver and the railroads were COM
pelled to listen to the protest Of the mer-
chants the present year. in the smaller
towns OF the state. Some action will be
taken on the rate by the directors Of the
Festival, as many say that they cannot
hold great festival with such a rote, as
the people will only come to Denver un-
der the stimulus Of very low rate.
