CARBON
TO BE ABANDONED AS A MINING
CAMP WITH THE END OF THE
PRESENT MONTH.
Track from Carbon to Sand Greek to
Be Torn Out. Mining Machinery
to Be Moved to Hanna ann Goods
In Company Store at Carbon To
Be Sent to Other Company Stores.

Charles Ii. Harris, travelling repre-
pany. came in late Saturday night
from a weeks trip in the interest of
the company, a part of which time he
spent at Carbon. He says the end of
Carbon as a mining camp has come.
and hat the mining operations now
carried on there by the Union Pacific
Coal company will be suspended at the
end of the present month.
At hat time all the mining machin-
cry in the mines at Sand creek, three
miles south of Carbon, will be taken
out, the track between Carbon and
Sand creek torn up, and the town of
Carbon will be practically abandoned.
The goods in the company store at Car
bon will be sem to the other company
stores along the line and the miners
transferred to Hanna, Rock Springs
and other live camps.
Mr.. Harris says there is some doubt
as to how long the track between Al.
len, the junction with the main line.
and Carbon will remain down, and the
people believe it is only a question of
a short time until the village will be
abandoned absolutely by the railroad
company. Property owners at Carbon
are offering houses and buildings to
anybody that wants them.

TO CLEAR AARON BURR's NAME.

Newark Children Want to Erect .
Memorial Tablet In His Honor.
There is a movement just gathering
force which has for its object the res
toration of Aaron Burr's name to good
standing. Incidentally it is proposed to
collect all Burr material to be found
anywhere. An Aaron Burr Legion is
being formed and it is proposed to
have OutpOsts wherever a sufficient
number of Burr sympathizers or ad-
mirers a be got together.
. One thing the Bur Legion has set
its heart upon is to erect a suitable
memorial to Burr in Newark. where
he was born. The movement has al
ready taken root in Newark.
A little society of children, calling
itself the Molly Pitcher Chapter of the
Children of the Revolution. has set it
self at work to raise money for a
bronze tablet which it proposes to fas-
ten on one of the buildings that now
stands on the spot where Aaron Burr
was born.
This society is composed only OF
children whose fathers or brothers
are Sons or Daughters of the Revolu-
ton. They meet regularly and they
have taken UP the Aaron Burr tablet
as their first work. They will hold
little fairs and sales until they have
money enough to order Il suitable
bronze memorial.
Aaron Burr was born in the Old
First Presbyterian church parsonage.
in which his father. as pastor. lived for
several years. The parsonage stood on
the south corner of Broad and William
streets, opposite where the City Hall
now stands.

J The board of county commissioners
have been asked by Prof. Nelson. of
Laramie, the head of Mornings Agri-
cultural Exhibit at ST. Louis. to try
and interest the residents of Johnson
county in the Louisiana exposition to
the extent of furnishing the best of
their 1902 crop for exhibition. says the
Buffalo Bulletin. The board has given
the matter much thought and has de
cided upon a plan which is sure to
prove successful in obtaining the best
Of all agricultural products, and will
furnish amusement and education as
well.
They have decided to hold a two
days country fair at Buffalo some time
this fall, probably during October, and
to offer prizes for the best exhibi-
tons of all products of the farm
There will also be horse races. etc.
for which prizes will be awarded. The
fair can be made a success and will
probably receive the hearty support
Of all citizens of Johnson county.
Messrs Young. Buell. and Killkenney
have taken hold of the matter not as
members of the board but as citizens
of Johnson county, who desire to see
their county represented at the great
worlds fair and who wish to see the
very best the county a raise placed
OIL exhibition. The money for the
different prizes will be raised by pri-
vate subscription and all prizes pro-
mise to be liberal.
Let every ranchman of the county
bear in mind the Johnson county fair
and the St. Louis Exposition when
planting their crops this year and save
the best for exhibition.

Hon. Joseph Hare is an old and re-
spected resident of the city of Bis
marck. He was a member of the last
legislature, where he made many
friends and was a loyal and efficient
representative of Bismarck and the
Missouri slope. He and his family
have been respected residents of Bis
marck, and he was engaged with the
upbuilding of Bismarck for many years
it became necessary for Mr..
Patterson to import the dare devil
cousin to act the part of local con-
veyor of indecencies, during such times
as sore-and co1d-feet kept the cheer
full landlord from his self-chosen vo-
cation as purveyor of street corner
nastiness. The attacks upon Mr.. Hare
merely go to show that the skunk is
no respector of persons. 1t was only
a few months ago that the Palladium
was fulsome in it's praise of Mr.. Hare
as a candidate ito be renominated for
the legislature. But that was before
Mr.. Patterson's contribution to the
cause of public decency and purity
was led into the harness to make the
race for the ~vindication of the land
lord and the Quitting of his revenge
against the party which built him up
and fattened him for treachery he now
meditates.
