had continued to increase from montt
to month as compared with the CORES

last two weeks had shown a slight de
/ cline over the last two weeks of the old
year. but that the month had been bet
ter, taken all through, than December
of 1901.
This may be attributed to the well
known fact" he said. that Laramie
and Albany county are steadily grow.
ing. The population is larger than it
vas last year, and those who have not
watched it as | have would be surprised
at the number of families added to
the population. Some have gone to the
country and taken up homes on the
ranches. many more have gone into the
mining section, and the growth in the

you would be surprised at the
amount of stuff that goes from here to
the mining section. A Holmes a

grocery firm $76O for supplies to be
taken to his Sore in the Douglas creek
mining district. That was only one
firm. and he perhaps bought from half
a dozen other stores"

ST RIKE
SETTLED
BELIEVED IN NEW YORK THAT
HARTMAN, BURT AND STRIKE
LEADERS HAVE GOT
TOGETHER.
Evening Post Quotes Director Of Road
as Saying That as Result of Con-
ference Strike Among Shopmen
Will Be Terminated and No Fur
Their Sympathy Strike Started.

New York, Dec. 2i.-(Special to The
kepublican.)-No conference between
the officials of the Union Pacific in this
city and representatives of the strik-
ing m%achinists and b~oilermakers at
Omaha was held yesterday. but a union
committee met President Burt of the
road in an informal conference. The
conference was held in the second story
of an Office building on Liberty street.
Nc definite conclusions were arrived
at as a result of the conference on the
demands of the strikers, but another
conference will be held Friday. In he
meantime Mr.. Burt will talk with Mr..
Hartman, the chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the Union Pacific
Railroad company, and it is predicted
that rs an outcome of the conference
there will be an amicable agreement
reached, as Mr.. Hartman is willing to
rectify any injustice to the men. The
controversy centers about the change
from the per diem to the piecework
plan of paying the men.
The Evening Post this afternoon has
the following:
There has been a satisfactory con-
ference during the past tw%enty-four
hours between f. H. Hartman. chair
man Of the executive committee of the
Union Pacific, President Burt and
President John Mcneil of the Ma
tional Boilermakers' union. The
statement was made by one Of the d.
rectors Of the road to an Evening Post
reporter that as a result the present
strike among the shopmen OF the road
will be terminated, and that there will
be no further strikes in sympathy.
1.-THE only condition under which fur
ther trouble may be expected, said this
director. will be the refusal by the men
themselves to accept the terms which
the leaders here seem willing to agree
upon for them"
