A TWENTIETH CENTURY SONG.

We tread a better earth today
Than that the fathers knew,
A broader skyline rounds away
To realms of deeper blue
More ample is the human right,
More true the human ken;
The law of God has been a light
To lead the lives of men.
He led our generations on
In mist or smcldering fire;
To more than all the centuries gone
The marching years aspire.
Across the onward sweep of time
We strain our vision dim,
And all the ages roll and climb
To lose themselves in Him.
We gaze upon the aeons past
A blind and tumbling surge.
And slowly, from the weltering vast.
Behold law emerge.
The water seemed to heave and sway
In chaos undenied;
Yet not a foam-fake drove astray.
For He was wind and tide.
o Purpose of the stumbling years,
o wistful Need and Hope,
Whereby, in all the woven spheres,
The atoms yearn and grope.
Flow through the wandering will of
man,
A tide of slow decree,
And merge our strivings in the plan
That draws the worlds to Thee,
Frederick Langbridge.

Cigarette smoking is worse thar
either the cigar or the pipe, but only
for the reason that the cigarettes be-
ing milder tobacco the smoker almost
universally inhales the tobacco fumes,
and we can appreciate the i'll effect
when we realize the component parts
OF tobacco smoke and how direct the
routes from the air vescicIes of the
lungs into the blood current. The
cigarette smoker nearly always IL
males the smoke, and, becoming
infatuated to this quick toxic action.
he will not smoke without inhaIfng
whether he uses the cigarette. the ci-
gar or the pipe, for the same reason
that tn morphine habitue accustomed
to the hypodermic method will not
be satisfied with the drug through the
mouth; both victims want quick az

His Soidierinu,

At police court, situated near a
garrison town in the west of England
few days ago a prisoner was brought
up charged with being drunk aud dis
orderly and with fighting in the street
He was tall, well-built, strapping
young fellow, but evidently an old
offender, for the magistrate, after in
fiicting fine, which was paid by a
friend of the prisoner in court, asked
him if he had any work to do.
The prisoner replied that he was out
of work
You seem to be frequently getting
into trouble by drinking and fighting,
said the magistrate. why don't you
go for a soldier?''
Not me- was the answer 81 DID

The Ferris aggarty Camp.

Oliver Paulson, who has been en-
gagged for the past II months in cook
ing for the Ferris aggarty camp,
came down from that place Saturday
and went on into Cheyenne on Sun
days stage, where he takes the Con
sistory degrees this week. Mr.. Paul
son says they have about so mel
employed at the camp at this time
and that business is improving. They
are looking forward to the construc-
ton of the Tramway and, when it is
completed, there will be a large in
crease in the working force of the
mine in order to accommodate the
tramway with the required amount of
ore, which will be from 300 to 400
tons daily.

Paid the $500 Forfeit.

j. Nj. Thomas, jr., paid into the city
treasury the sum of $500 last week,
being the amount of the forfeit bond
put up by he and j. Storer Tice, in
the electric light franchise given
them by the city last fall. The bond
fell due several months ago, but the
city council knew that Mr.. Thomas
was perfectly good for the amount
and they did not push matters. IS
the time given Mr.. Thomas to liqui-
date was the means of enabling him
to raise the money without too seri-
Gus inconvenience, the leniency of our
city fathers was much appreciated by
Mr.. Thomas. The failure to put in
the electric light plant does not lie
with Mr.. Thomas, but with the Mr..
Tice, who left the country under a
cloud and Mr.. Thomas has been busy
adjusting matters ever since he left.

Mrs. James Parr, accompanied by
her son Reuben and daughter Alice,
arrived here Tuesday with the body
of her husband, who died at Salt
Lake City, at IL o'clock a.. m. Sun
day, the 23rd inst, from the effects
of an operation in that city on the
18th inst.
James Parr, Jr. and c. j. Holcome,
of Riverside, met Mrs. Parr and the
children at Walcott and brought the
body out and took it on up to the
ranch on Encampment river, where
the funeral will be held today, the
Rev. Dunsmore officiating. The bur-
ial is to take place from the house
and the body will be laid to rest be-
side his daughter Lizzie, in the Dun
kard graveyard at 10 o'clock today.
Deceased was born in England on
the 18th day of July, 1S43, being in
his 59th year at the time of his death.
He was for many years a resident of
Carbon, but settled in the Encamp-
ment valley in the year 1878, where
he took up land and engaged in the
raising of cattle. He accumulated
considerable wealth and was always
considered one of the most upright
and honest citizens in the valley.
His death removes one of the old
timers from our midst.
The cause of his death was an in
jury to one of the small intestines,
(as developed at the operation,)
whereby the acids of the stomach
leaked out onto the liver, shrivelling
it up like I've poured oil the hands.
Deceased leaves a wife and 10 chill
dren to mourn his loss.

The School Entertainment.

The school entertainment given
last Friday night, IN Jensen hall, was
"a very successful one in every way.
The house was crowded to its utmost
standing capacity, and the program,
rendered entirely by the children of
the public school, was very well re-
ceived. After the program had been
exhausted, which occupied about two
hours, the hall was cleared and the
orchestra took possession of the o S
trum and the young people enjoyed a
dance. About $50 was taken in and
the school will clear about sos which
will go toward the purchase of school
apparatus and to pay for some things
already gotten.
Prof. Rollman and the teachers are
to be congratulated on the very cred
table manner the scholars acquitted
themselves.

Parents. Look After the Small Boy.

Saratoga has some precocious small
boys. One day this week Mrs. Craw-
ford hitched her buggy horse to a
fence in the north part of town and
went to call on a lady. When she
came out she found the vehicle occu-
pied by ii little boy, who had I'M
hitched the animal and taken a drive
around town. He was not in the
least abashed W being caught in
the use of another's horse and buggy.
We suggest that it would be well for
parents to look after their children a
little more closely. 1t happened that
the horse was of a very gentle dispo-
%sition, but it would have been Just
the same to the boy had it been a
fractions animal, in which case there
would have been trouble.

BUILDING BOOM.
Many Improvements Of Business Houses
Planned and New Business Houses to
be Erected in Saratoga.

Building has began in earnest in
Saratoga and promises to be rather
lively for the spring and summer.
Jensen g. Bro. have planned a fifty
foot extension of their hall. The
work on it will be begun inside of ten
days. They find that the present di-
mansions of the building, which is
30x70, are entirely too small to ac-
commodate the immense crowds that
congregate there every time its doors
are thrown open for an entertainment
or dance.
F. G. Wolf has already begun an
addition to his hotel, which is to be
20x25 feet, two stories in height and
to contain eight or ten rooms. He is
also having a new kitchen, 20x50 ad-
ded o. the back part of the present
one. When this extension and addi-
ton is complete he will have one of
the largest and best hotel buildings
in the state.
Saratoga Aerie No. 113, Order of
Eagles, have the erection of a hall
under contemplation. They have
secured an option on the 30 foot lot
of E. S. Judd, which lies just west of
the dry goods store of A. Petrie g.
Co. The subject was up for settle
ment last evening and, after a full
dicussion of the matter, they conclu-
ded to take the lot and erect a two
story building, the upper part of
which is to be used for a lodge room
and for balls and entertainments.
From present appearances it seems
that almost every business man in
town is contemplating some improve
ment or enlargement of his business
premises, all of which is evidence of
the general forward movement in this
place, caused by the anticipation of
very lively times here this Spring and
Summer.

THE TRAMWAY WILL Be BUILT.
Grand Encampment smeltsr and the Fer
r~is-Haggarty Mine to be Connected by
the lst Of Augusta Spur to Battle
Lake Mines.

The tramway, which is to connect
the Ferris aggerty mines and the
Encampment smelter, is an assured
fact.
Sundays stage carried up twelve
surveyors and four more went up on
Monday'scoach, all from Denver and
all engaged to help on the work of
building the tramway. A large force
of men will be employed and work
will be prosecuted simultaneously at
several points on the line.
The line will be in four sections
and the motive power will be a cable
operated by steam power. There is
talk of a stub being run to connect
Battle Lake with the main line, to
enable the mines of that region to
ship ore to the smelter.

BATTLE LAKE MINING NEWS.
Big Strike in the Hidden Treasure Tun-
nel-l62 Feet Of Rich Ore in the Ram
bler-The Tunnel Site Company Tenn
porarily Shut Down.
Battle Lake, Wyo.,
Feb. 18th, 1902.

FEB. 10Th, l9O2.
Editor Saratoga Sun =:
There is about six feet of snow here
on the level and the winter has been
rather stormy for the past month.
There is a great deal Of interest
here in the strike of a II foot lead of
ore, in an entirely unexpected local
ity. The Hidden Treasure people,
who are just west of and adjoining
the Hercules mine, have been engage
ed in running a tunnel to cut the i'm
mense contact which runs along the
brow of the divide, between this
place and Rambler. The manager,
Fl. NJ. Rice, said the finding of the
lead was entirely unexpected. 1t
runs 8 OF. in gold, Is OF. in silver and
22P copper. 1t will not be develop
ed at present as work will be pushed
in the tunnel on to the contact.
They are still at work on the Doane
Rambler. They have, on account of
bad roads, discontinued shipping ore
to the railroad, the last car having
been sent out the first week in Febru-
airy. They have just completed a
VIM, 1872 feet in depth, and every
foot of it was in the phenominally
rich ore of that mine, which has
made this entire region famous as a
copper country. AS they now have
only about 200 cords of wood on
hand they may be compelled to shut
down in a month or six weeks, but
manager Armbruster says they will
not close the mines unless absolutely
compelled to do SO on account of lack
of fuel.
The Tunnel Site works, which is
under the same management as the
Doane Rambler, shut down temporar-
lily last week. They are in $50 feet
on their tunnel and have not yet de
veloped any large body of ore. They
will go clean through Bridger Peak
but what they will find the immense
body of ore they are after.
