The Walcott Hotel.

The Walcott Hotel, F. o. Anderson
proprietor, is a surprise to the travel
ing public. The town of Walcott is
small, consisting of but a few houses.
1t is the point of arrival and depart
ure of the passengers, express and
freight for the Saratoga valley and
the mining camps surrounding it, and
is, therefore, but a temporary stop
ping place for travellers. The hotel is
small but it is nicely furnished and
scrupulously neat and clean in all its
appointments. The beds are excel
lent and the dining room service and
the culinary far better than that
which is to be found in towns of ten
times its size. The Sun can heartily
recommend the Walcott Hotel as be-
ing excellent and in every way
worthy of patronage.

We clip the following from the San
Francisco Chronicle of August 30. 1t
will be news to Saratoga people and
they will also be asking who John
Charles" is. A wide sombrero, flannel
shirt, corduroy trousers, knee boots and
a six shooter on Zach hip were com
mon enough here fifteen or twenty years
ago, but they are as rare here now as
they are in San Francisco. We are OF
the opinion that John Charles was
either a tenderfoot or a fake-probably
both.
John Charles is a cowboy from Sara
toga, Wyo., in San Francisco on a two
weeks vacation. In Saratoga, Wyo.,
full dress is a wide sombrero, flannel
shirt, corduroy trousers, knee boots and
a six-shooter on each hip. suspended
from a belt filled with cartridges.
Charles took advantage If his vaca-
ton to pay his first visit to San Fran
cisco, but, unfortunately, no one had
told him of the difference in customs,
and he was in full dress when he met a
policeman Wednesday evening. Now,
there was nothing rude nor aggressive
in the meeting, only an invitation to go
to the Hall OF Justice, where Charles
had to bail himself out with money he
he had earned, the patrolnan having
charged him with carrying concealed
weapons. Yesterday he was before
Judge Fritz, who asked:
DO you always wear those things in
Saratoga?"
why yes, Judge; it's the custom. A
IA amt fully dressed without his
guns, especially in the evening. Up
there it is good form to oil, wipe and
load and buckle on your guns at 3
o'clock in the evening. l had just fin
ished dressing and got on the street
when l met this officer. My guns were
not concealed; anybody could see them.
1t amt good form to hide the fact that
you are heeled.'
well, Charles, you were not arrested
so much for a violation Of the law. be-
ing a traveller, as you were for your W
safety. Some one might conceive the
Impression that you were a bad man
and take your pistols away from you.
Wrap those weapons up in a newspaper
now and take them back to your hotel,
where you must leave them until you
leave town"
"All right, Judge. l am much obliged
to you for putting me right. Being a
visitor | don't want to break any Gus
tom. Good-day."

Mr.. Barrass of Sweetwater.

Richard Barrass of Sweetwater ac-
companied by his brother, Adam
Barrass, of Rock Springs, was in
Lander several days this week look
ing after business interests. Mr..
Richard Barrass recently returned
from a trip to the eastern markets
where he disposed of nineteen double
deck carloads of the best sheep ever
placed on the markets from the
Sweetwater range.-Lander Clipper.
Mr.. Barrass seems to be all right
financially, but if we owned that
name we would petition the legisla-
ture to change it before the sun went
down. 1t is altogether too suggestive
and open to criticism-unless he is
an Indian. Indians are not particu-
lar about such things.

Presbyterian Pastor.

1t seem that the Presbyterian
church members, after thinking the
matter over very seriously, concluded
to rescind their action in calling Rev.
Cramcko to fill the vacant pulpit in
their church. A meeting was held
by the church members and it was
determined to notify Rev. Gramcko
not to come until he was requested,
which is equivalent to a notification
that his services would not be requir
ed. One of the principal objections
urged against the gentleman was his
broken language, he being ii German
and speaking English with II strong
accent, which MADE it difficult for
some of the audience to understand
him. 1t must be said in Rev. Gram,
cko's favor that he seemed n very
earnest, sincere man and that many
here liked him and think he would
have done we'll. The church has no
pastor in view at this time.

Rev. Robinson and Family.

A private letter from Mrs. Robinson
to Mrs. g.. Goodwin, which we were
permitted to read, conveys the intelli-
gence that they expect to go to Colo
RADIO to spend the winter, just where
they do not at this time know. Rev.
Robinson is still troubled with "a
cough and consequent weakness and
has, at the urgent request af friends,
concluded to give up preaching until
he is better. Wealthy friends will
provide during his vacation. We are
sure that the good people of this val
ley will wish their former pastor and
his family every good that can come
to them.

How to Cook Green Corn.

From time immemorial green corn
has invariably been undressed before
being cooked. Now comes the start
ling information that to properly
cook corn one should not think of
removing the husk, but boil it husk
and all and the result is to have corn
of such delicious quality as was new
er dreamed possible. Those who
have tried the new method are very
strong in recommending its adoption,
saying that it gives a delicious flavor.
At any rate the new method is well
worth "A trial and we recommend that
it be tested fully before being aban-
doned for the old method.

The woman had her arms in the
tub and was fiercely scrubbing one
dirty garment after another. Book
agents don't often penetrate to that
part of Chicago, but this one did.
He knocked on the front door until
he was tired, and hen he went

"Have youi" answered the woman.
"Well, I've got a lot of work that I'd
like to show you" She took one big
soapy hand out of the tub and waved
it at a great pile of dirty clothes.
THAT'S my work." went on the wo-
man. "If your work can beat that,
all right; if it can't, why skip out"
The book agent skipped.-Ex.

one, who had little to do, started the
report that | lay here two or three
days without assistance. The acct
dent occurred about nine o'clock in
the morning; the boys made a stretch

Gem City Business College.

Mark Crawford is pleasantly locat-
ed at 6f3, N. It'll St, Quincy, H.,
where he is attending the Gem City
Business College. He says the col
lege is a very large affair and that
there are a great many students there
from all over the country and that
the college has a very efficient corps
of professors, one of whom is Harry
Breitenstein, of Laramie. 1t takes
six months to complete a full course
in all of the studies and that he ex-
poets to remain until he has taken a
full course. Ifany of the boys and girls
of the Saratoga valley desire a thoro-
ough business education Mark says
he would recommend that they come
to Quincy, where they will be well
cared for. The tuition for the term
is SS5 and board and rooms are very
reasonable.

Funeral of Mrs. Benjamin Carroll.

The funeral of Mrs. Benjamin Car

was one of the largest ever held in
Saratoga. Every business house in
town closed its doors during the SER

unit in sympathy for the stricken
husband and family. Dying, she left
behind a memory that will rest like a
benediction on her family and friends,
and be a never ending incentive to

BATTLE LAKE ITEMS.


A 1000 pound mill run of average
ore was sent to the smelter this week
from Al. Prosser's Saratoga lode that
will determine whether the ore will
stand shipping. The Saratoga has a
streak of high grade ore and a large
body of low grade ore and it is
thought the whole body will pay to
ship.
The Rambler Mining company's
tunnel is now in l05 feet and being
driven ahead AS fast as possible, and
another shift will be put to work in IA
few days to hasten the work. The
company is in excellent shape finan-
cially their treasure fund being suffi
6ent to work all winter without the
sale of any more stock. Their tunnel
is a model piece of mining, and all
done in "a substantial manner.
The consolidation of the Doane
Rambler and the Battle Lake Tunnel
Site is practically closed. Ii. j.
Stegeman of the Tunnel Site left for
Chicago Thursday to turn over the
affairs of that company and Roy
Stevens Mgr. of the Rambler was wir-
ed to be in Denver next Monday to
turn over the books of the Rambler.
1t is expected that inside of two
weeks the Rambler will be working
80 or 60 men from that time on. The
old workings will be unwatered and
the regular shipment of ore be resum-
ed.
Advices received this week from
Colorado Springs state that Tom
Wilson, one of the proprietors of the

hurricane which recently wrought
much havoc in the South Pacific. The

lost.
The steamer Hero was driven on the
rocks at Kouaoua and. together with
several barges loaded with nickel. she
foundered. The bark Emile GaIline
was swept TO disaster on the coast at
Tchio, and the new four-masted ship
Nllle Du Havre, partly loaded with
nickel ore, was stranded at Noumea,
where she soon broke up. The loss of
life, it was feared, would be large.

VICTOR COOKS QUEER ARM
BRIGHTON BOY EXAMINED UN-
DER X-RAY.
Discovered That the Arm Was Meth
er Fractured Nor Dislocated-An
Abnormal Growth.

Had it not been for the revelations
of the powerful X-ray machine in the
Office of DR.. Root last night, the fifteen
members of the Salt Lake Medical so
ciety who examined Victor Cooks
shoulder would probably be still dis
putting whether the lads right arm is
dislocated, fractured or that neither or
both such conditions existed. BY the
aid of the X-ray apparatus. which
makes it possible to see the outlines of
the interior bones and ligaments in a
human body it was cOncluSiVeiy shown
that Victor has developed an abnormal
growth of a bOny substance at the tip
of the right shoulder, like a, couple of
fingers pointing horizontally when the
arm is down, and upward when the
arm Is raised.
1t was a week ago last night that
Victor Cook the 11-year-Old son of NJ
d. Cook the Brighton farmer, was
taken to DR.. Benedict to have his
broken arm reset. DR. Beer was called
in and still it seemed uncertain wheth-
er the lad was suffering from a frac-
ture or a dislOcatiOn- Even the doc
tors could not place the misplaced bone
in the socket of the shoulder joint
when the boy was under the influence
of chlorOfOrm, and the case soon pre-
scented an aspect of the mysterious
It was a ripe subject, however. for
/ medical society, and last night the boy,
accompanied by his father. appeared
before the society to show how a live
! " youngster can work around a farm
uncOmp.ainingly with a broken arm,
fall down the school house steps and
never complain till his sister takes him
in hand to teach him the waltz step.
Master Cook barred his arms and
shoulders to the doctors in the equity
court room. while Dr. Benedict dem
! onstrated and all of the medicOs gath
cred around to ''see." In a few mo-
ments Victor's sore arm was worked
very much in the same sort of fashion
alternately as a pump handle and a
swinging gate. until he wept copiOusly
Then the medical men patted the boy
on the sore spots TO commend him for
his sacrifice for the enlightenment OF
the profession.
To the Impractical eye the tender
shoulder joint looked like a ring-bOne.
Sentiment among the profession was
divided as to whether the lad had a
diSIOcated or fractured arm or whether
il was both or a peculiar growth. until
Dr. Root invited his colleagues to go
to his office and use the X-rays The
/ invitation was accepted and after all
of the medical men had seen the out
lime of the shoulder bones. the couclu-
sion was reached without dissent that
the subject of the examination had an
abnormal growth of less density than
/ bone at the point of pain.
