The governor has filed with the Sec
retaTy Of state the formal appoint
ments Of his Office force, John NJ Max
well, secretary. and Albert e. Harris and
Alfred c. Montgomery, stenographers.
A. G. Montgomery served as stenogra-
pher under former governors Thomas

cause of his thorough reliability and
familiarity with the duties of that posi-
ton.
The Board Of Charities and Correc-
ton will have several measures to
recommend. It will ask for the build
ing of another asylum and for home
for feeble minded children. There are
400 to 500 insane people outside the
state institution, $50 Of these at pri-
vate institution In Pueblo. which
charges 81 a day for their care. This
bill Is paid by the counties from which
the lunatics are sent. More than that
number Of insane persons are in coun-
ty hospitals and jails because there is
no public place to receive them. An
effort will also be made to equalize the
salaries and mileage of the various
boards, penal and charitable, that come
under the Board Of Charities and Cor
rections. In some there is no mileage
allowed and in others H. is the princi-
pal figure and the salaries nre much at
variance.

Herbert's reply to the committee was
as follows:
IL thank you for the interest you
evince in this matter and the trouble
you have taken to bring it to my at
tention. The proposition impresses
me fGvorably-strikes me as a good
thing. The matter shall be placed be-
fore President Trumbull upon his re-
turn. A careful investigation will be
made within few dSys. hope the
extension plan will prove feasible and
can assure the citizens of Wyoming
that the Colorado & Southern manage
ment will always respond to any rea-
sonable demands"
The committee felt very well pleased
with it's reception by Manager Herbert
and much encouraged at the prospects.
On Thursday the Wyoming dele
gates had a conference with the Dem
yer Chamber Of Commerce, which has
received their plans with much favor
and will cooperate as far as possible.
Many of the delegates gave their
views of the situation.
w. G. Barrow, publisher and owner
of Bill Barrow's Budget of Douglas,
said there are five business concerns in
that town that did business of $780,
900. The aggregate volume was over a
million. There are three outfits drill
ing for oil nearby. and when the prob
lem of overcoming the resistance Of
soft sand in drilling is accomplished
there will be hundred-fold increased
demand for oil well machinery. Dem
yer naturally was their source of sup
ply. but on account of lack of railroad
facilities Denver gets none of the
trade.
He explained the railroad situation
thus: The Colorado & Southern rail.
road has line to Fort Collins They
are now preparing to extend the line
fourteen miles north Of Fort Collins to
the point where the old Colorado Cen
trail railroad grade begins. From this
point over the line of this old grade
into Cheyenne was thirty miles. An
extension of fourteen miles from Orin
Junction to Douglas would complete
the through line to Denver and thence
to the Gulf. He referred to the fact
that the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany was at present paying trackage
over the Union Pacific for two train
loads OF ore into Denver and thence to
Pueblo daily. This ore came from
Hartville. 100 miles north of Cheyenne.
