The Railroad Survey.

Civil engineer, j. c. Kennedy, who
has charge of the railroad survey
from Walcott to this place and En-
campment, arrived here last week
with his party. finishing up the sur
vey to this point just west of the Hot
Springs pump house. Mr.. Kennedy
has been very busy making a plat of
the survey from Walcott to this point
and as SOC as it is completed he will
proceed with the work of running a
line from here to Encampment.
Mr.. Kennedy said that the survey
after leaving Walcott a short dis
lance, kept in the west line of sec
tions, of Range SO, almost all the way
until Lake creek was reached, when
the line swerved nearly a mile and a
half to the east, curving back again
into line.
When MI. Kennedy starts the sur
vey from this place to Encampment
he will try to avoid going through the
Encampment river canon, as the line
was originally run He thinks a bet
ter and more direct route can be had
by leaving the canon to the left, be-
sides costing less to construct.
The distance from Walcott to this
place is a few feet over 26 miles,
which is just about the distance now
made by the stage.

Scarlet Fever Closes School.

There are some cases of scarlet fever
in town and that the result is the clos,
ing of the public school for the present
to prevent its spreading. One of the
cases is in the family of l. w. Want and
the family OF Perry Wagner was afflic-
ted also. The School Board took the
matter under consideration and the re
suit was the closing OF the school Wed
nesday morning. This was "a wise step
and, il the cases OF fever are rigidly
qu~arantined, we may be able to stamp
the disease out within a short time.

An Egg Hunt.

a merry party of little people
had possession of the east end of
the United Oil company's big re-
fnery yard Saturday afternoon
Between forty and fifty of them,
members of the Sunday school of
First Church of Christ, Scientist.
were having their annual egg hunt
and royal time they had of it..
They were guests of Mr. and Mrs.
W K Rathvon who had previous
ly planted" the large yard with
scores of the brightest, prettiest
Easter eggs that could be bought
or made. They were hidden in all
sorts of hooks and corners. we'll
concealed. but when the company
of youngsters were lined up wait
ing for the word go" it did rot
seem as though any eggs could
escape those sharp eyes
For more than an hour the fun
lasted and it was hard to tell
which enjoyed it more, the little
folks or the big ones who came to
share their happiness.
a noteworthy fact was that
there was no sehshness or greed
shown by children and that
the larger ones helped the little
tots to find likely places where the
bright shells might be uncovered
As fast as found the eggs were
placed by the children in one big
basket and before the party broke
up they were equally divided
among them all Each child took
home two colored eggs and one of
sugar, and all have the remem-
brance of an afternoon spent with
out single discordant note.
The out door egg hunt seems to
be distinctiveiy Florence institu-
ton and was first given to the
children of the Christian Science
Sunday school three years ago.
1t is worthy Of imitation.
