general praise. 1t was brought
out that these seed can be procur.

Prof. Smith also talked with

duce buyers TO come here. He
attributed the failure in marketing
here last year TO the small amount
grown, not enough being produced
to attract buyers. He thought
parties here about Bryan ought to
buy a car load of seed and plant
more liberally-not less than five
to six acre patches. A car Of seed
potatoes will plant about 55 acres,
and this would be acreage enough
to ship some cars and they can be
sold here on the car. He lost

again; is going to make some mon.

potatoes are much cheaper this
year than they were last-sl.00 a

encouragement. He says he lost

Corn Culture.

J. Ii. White made AN interesting
talk on corn culture, aud the
methods he uses as recited by him,
and the reasons he gives for the
different processes show that he
uses brain as well as muscle in
all his work. No corn grower
could hear such a talk and not
learn many things he never knew
before. Mr.. White has been
growing corn here since 1872 and
has never bought corn for his own
use but one year in that time.
MIR Griffin reminded the speaker
that he (Mr. White had some
excellent corn land. Mr.. White
replied that that was a compliment
to him as farmer, for when he
bought his place nearly everyone
said he had bought about the
poorest old farm in the county.

Fertilizers.
Prof Robt. f. Smith made talk
on fertilizers. He had found his
manager on his Brazos bottom farm
dumping cleanings from the horse
lots and stable into the river, to
get rid Of it. He Immediately call
ed a halt on this plan, and started
compost heaps to save all the val.
liable fertilizing material, for he
believes that even the rich lands
OF the Brazos bottom will yield
profitable results from application
Of fertilizers. He outlined some
experiments he will make the com.
ing year with various fertilizers, to
test what element the land is def.
cient in.

wagons on the street with non-union

THIRD

TURNED TO NORTH PLATTE
FROM GRAND ISLAND.
Result of Conference Between Joint
Committee Of Union Pacific En-
gineers and Firemen and Superin-
tendent Mckeen-RaiIroad Notes
and Personal Of interests.

The joint committee of the locomo-
tive engineers and firemen Of the Sec
ond and third districts of the Union
Pacific railroad have finished the
greater portion of it's work with Su-
perintendent of Motive Power McKeen.
AS a result of the conference, at ON
aha, which lasted for two days. the
headquarters of the third division will
be returned to North Platte from Grand
Island where they were moved to about
ten days ago
The changing of the headquarters
from North Platte to Grand Island caus-
ed the engineers and fireman to have
their longest layovers at Grand Island
instead Of North Platte, as formerly.
Most of the men live at North Platte
and they would have been forced to
move to Grand Island if the change
had become permanent. This they did
not desire to do and so brought the
matter to the attention of the company.

transcontinental lines, the government
contract for carrying United States
naval officers and men to and from
San Francisco has been awarded to the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
railroads west of the Missouri river.
Their bid, which was submitted by the

cenger to be carried unde.. the contract.
Under the bids of the Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific, the rate is to be

duction from about $32, tine rate made
last year. The bid Of the successful
roads amounts to $23 from Chicago to
the coast and that OF the Rock Island
would have amounted to about $28.

1t is believed that the Wanless build
ing, occupying the quarter block at
the corner of Fourth and Grand avenue
will soon be either tori down or remov-
ed, to make room for the Carnegie lib
rary, a donation of 100000 for the
building of which has been made by
Andrew Carnegie land a resolution
adopted by the county commissioners
to levy tax for the maintenance tupd
of s., 1000 a year.
The passing of this building marks
an epoch in the history of the city. 1t
was one of the first in town, was sub
s~tantially built of good lumber, the
framework being of 2x6 dimension
stuff, and was well fitted vi and fur
nished inside. Its erection occurred
in 1868, while the track laying of the
Union Pacific was going forward over
what is now the Wyoming division.
When the outfit building the road
reached Laramie the officers of the
company and the contractors decided
upon this as the site Of a club house,
where they might meet and have a
good time during their stay in this
section. There were about fifteen
rooms at first, including a large and
nicely furnished dining room, a big
kitchen putting out from the north
wall of the main building, and all the

with light and resonant with the sounds

OF mirth and jollity.
Mr.. Wanless having lost a major
portion of his competency, the build
ing was allowed to lose some Of its
richness of interior and exterior. A
new roof was added by j. w. Collins,
the wne of what is now known as
the Collins block, at Second and Gar
field streets, and the owner of the club
house being unable to pay the bill, the
building vas sold by the sheriff under
a mechanics lien to Judge j. w. Blake,
who died possessed of 1t, leaving 1t to
his mother, Grandma" Blake. She will
transfer it to the county for a site for
the library.
The old building was the scene Of a
gathering in the early days Of the ter
ritory that is a memory to the old set
tiers here. The territory of Wyoming
was made from the territory of Da-
kota, and when General Campbell was
appointed by President Grant, there
was a good deal of rivalry between
Cheyenne and Laramie as to the loca-
ton of the capital of the new territory.
Governor Campbell had arrived at
Cheyenne and been given a great ova-
ton by the people of hat city, which
was at least a year older than Lar
annie and considerably larger. The
governor sen word that on a certain
day he would visit Laramie and look
over the field. The people of the city
determined that they should not be
outdone by their rival across the
range, and so they set about to give
the new governor and his staff a re-
ception that would make their hair
curl. They raised money for a ban
quet and gave the matter into the
hands of Mrs. Wanless. The wit and
beauty and wealth of the town were
there. and the banquet cost $40 a plate.
1t was the SWEETEST affair ever known
in the territory. aside from the Chey-
enne "doin's." and it was plain to be
seen that Governor Campbell, Secre-
tary Jones and other members of the
party were greatly pleased. The peo-
pie of Laramie felt sure that they had
won the battle, and were not a little
chagrined and disappointed when they
learned that the governor had settled
in Cheyenne and made that place the
seat of the territorial government.
They had done their full share, they
knew, and %begrudged not a penny, the
entertainment had cost them. They
had had a delightful time. anyway, and
so the matter dropped for al time.
The Wanless house has been used
as an apartment house for years. At
first, when it was new and the fur
nishings were of the best. it was a
home for some Of the best people of
the state. Colonel E. A. Slack, now
proprietor of the Cheyenne Leader.
was a resident there, and Mr.. and Mrs.
j. w. Johnson were married in the
east room. In recent years it has not
been kept up to the standard of those
days, people going there who could
find no better quarters. Now two
firms of carpenters and contractors
have their shops there, the one in the
west and the other in the east O
with small tenants in the rooms and
suites between. 1t is said that the
lumber uSed in its construction was
of the best, having been brought here
for the railroad company.
A historic building is to be replaced
with a magnificent structure. The
passing Of one marks the coming of
the other.
