HUMOR OF THE ROCKIES.
How Lone Squatter Outwitted Big
Railway Corporation.

How a Lone Squatter Outwitted a Big
Railway Corporation.
High up on the Laramie range there is
little station called Sherman-a mere
watering place for trains on the Onion
Pacific railway. Near by it is a gigantic
pyramid of stone, 60 feet high and 60
feet square at the base, which was set
up by the railway as a monument to
Cakes Ames and Oliver Ames.
In the later eighties there arrived at
Sherman a shabby person Of melancholy
aspect, who put up ''shack'-Western
for shanty-nOt far from the monument:
Ostcnsibly he was prospecting, and he
continued to prospect for three years
without accomplishing any results, so far
as could be observed. At the end CT
that period the management of the
Union Pacific received from him a COM
nunication demanding the immediate re-
moval Of the monument from the prem
Uses, which he claimed as his under the
homestead law.
The matter was regarded in humor-
Gus light at first. but subsequent pro-
ceedings developed the fact that the
sQuatter had what lawyers call cease"
The stranger, it seems, had located on I
section Of land which did not belong to
the Union Paciic-the same section Oil
which the monument had. by an mad
vertence. been placed. He knew very
we'll what he was about, and the upshot
of the affair was that the railway had to
pay $4,000 for the squatter's tract in
order to make it's title good.-Saturday

almost scares. When human being can
make from tar an indigo so good and SO
cheap that within the last four years it
has risen to be the successful rival Of
the indigo that the good Lord causes to
grow in plants, we may well pause and
way we have come since first our ances-

Virtues Of Goats Milk.

Goats milk has the advantage over
cows milk of being free from tubercle
bacilli, and can be taken quite fresh.
Contrary to general opinion, the taste is
erly selected and properly kept, being con-
sidered of more delicate flavor than
cows milk. The quantity of fats, case
inc and salt varies greatly in the differ
ent varieties of goat. For infants and
dyspeptics the weaker milk may be cho-
sen, while the stronger answers better for
debilitated subjects.-Paris Journal of

is being aroused IN the fact that few.
new districts (of limited acreage) are
being opened out by the Canadian gov
eminent in Saskatchewan and Asstni-.

eagerly sought. Mr.. w. r. Corser, OF

he says: "a:

America a Country OF Bridges.

The market for bridges is far greater
in the United States than elsewhere.
The states have now 10000 miles of
railways, and vitzhas been estimated that
there is an average Of one span Of me-
tallic bridge for every three miles Of
railway. This gives $4,000 bridges on
existing lines, without including those re-
Guired for new lines. The increase in
the United States of the weight of cars
and engines has resulted in wonderful
economic changes. This increase Of
weight of rolling stock has led to the: re-
newal of the $4,000 old bridges by
stronger and heavier ones. This demand
has brought into existence many bridge
building companies, and they can we'll
afford to equip themselves with the best
labor-saving and accurate working ma
chinery, regardless of first cost, as they
know it would seldom if ever lie idle
