The supper and entertainment
given at the Presbyterian Church
last Friday night was a very sue
cessful affair. A large crowd was
in attendance and enjoyed. not
only the supper, but the program
rendered after it was over. The
program was an excellent one and
consisted of solos, trios, quartets,
and Rotations. The ladies' were
indebted to Mrs. w. C. Burke for
the work of getting up the excel
lent program.
1t was a very pleasant event al
SO, in a social way, and the ming
ling of the people gave them a
chance for interesting converse,
not enjoyed at other gatherings.
The ladies' realized a handsome
sum from the evenings receipts.
1t is to be hoped that the ladies
will continue these pleasant gath
erings in the future.

SHELTER ASSURED.
cbas. E. Knapp Writes From Chicago
That Big Merger 10 Formed and Final
Arrangement for Building Of smeltsr
Completed.

Chas. E. Knapp, organizer of
the Pearl merger and promoter of
the Pearl smelter, writes under
recent date from Chicago that the
merger of the leading mining in
terests of the district had finally
been consummated, and that work
on the smelter and concentration
will be started not later than the
first of February. He writes
that the project has received the
hearty approval and substantial
support of a majority of the best
companies operating here, and
says sufficient funds have been
guaranteed to push the enterprise
to a successful conclusion. Mr..
Knapp, accompanied by a party
of engineers and smelter experts
will leave Chicago for Pearl the
twentieth of this month, and up
on their arrival will make all ar
engagements for beginning the
work of actual construction
The assurance that Mr.. Knapp
gives concerning the immediate
construction of the smelter is the
most welcome information the
mine operators and residents Of
this section could possibly re-
ceive, as it means the permanent
cy and future prosperity of the
entire district. Without smelt-
ing or reduction works of some
kind within a reaonable distance,
but a very few of the many mines
surrounding Pearl could be profit
able worked, owing to the enor-
nous expense of hauling ore to
Encampment, the nearest smelt-
ing point. With smelling facili-
tiles in Pearl, every mine and
prospect within a dozen miles of
Pearl will be worked to their
full capacity and hundreds of
tons of the red metal will be pro-
duced monthly, adding thousands
of dollars to the wealth of the
state and country
That the project will prove
successful and Profitable to the
organizers goes without saying,
for no district in the west is in a
better position to maintain or has
more need of such works than has
the Pearl district. At the present
time its mines can produce an
enormous tonnage of good ore,
which, with the development now
under way, can be increased a
hundred fold This taken in con-
nection with the important fact
that first class fuel. all the neces-
sary fuxes, and sufficient timber
for all purposes ia in easy reach,
insures the money earning pos
sibilities of such an enterprise

LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA.
An Interesting Batch Of News Sent
From Los Angeles, by an old Friend Of

Dec. 14th, 1903.
Dear Editor:
W. thought we would write a
few lines to let the people at home
know where we have been, and
where we are. When 1 say
"home" / mean Wyoming, of
course, and mostly Carbon
county.
W. went to Salt Lake, on our
way out here, took in the sights,
visited friends and relatives, come
back to Ogden, went down the
Humboldt valley on our way west.
1t made me think of home to see
the vast herds of cattle, great yell
low meadows and big hay stacks.
Through Sacramento to San
Francisco. Here we took the
electric cars to see the great Pa
ciic Ocean. There had been a
storm the day previous and the
great waves were coming in, just
like mountains. Came back by
the Golden Gate park, where all
kinds of flowers were in bloom
Saw some of the largest merchant
vessels in the world while on this
trip.
From San Francisco we went to
Los Angeles by the way of the
coast line. Here we found
relatives AMI friends all we'll.
We also found the city much
larger than we had expect
ed. The next day after our arriv-
al at this place my uncle took me
out to see the business part of the
town. While we were walking
along 1 saw some one that looked
like Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Olson,
of the Bow. l looked at myself
and then took another look at
them, and concluded that I could
not be mistaken, and ventured to
speak to them. l was right, and
we planned a trip to the Catalena
Islands. Mr.. and Mrs. Olson,
Mrs. Sterrett, Helen and myself
went and we had a fine time.
One does not know how to appre-
ciate Wyoming friends until they
meet them away from home.
We had planned other trips to-
gether, but Helen has not been
we'll and we were compelled to
give them up on her account.
Mr.. Olson said they had been to
the ostrich farm OF Pasadena, and
he talked as though he had pur-
chased some birds to take back to
the Bow. 1t is probable that
Wyoming people can get settings
of eggs from Mr.. Olson next
spring, if they wish to embark in
the business of ostrich raising.
We are now keeping house and
we would be much pleased to see
some of ou' Wyoming friends out
here. 1 must tell you something
about keeping house in Los An
geles. We buy u wood by the
sack-ful. at IS cents a sack: gro
ceries FIVE to fifty cents at a time.
That is stylish out here, but it
would be quite different in Wyo-
ming. But there is nothing as
cheap here as in Saratoga, except
oranges and lemons. l have not
eaten an orange since coming
here, for they are sour enough to
make a pig squeal.
We have seen no snow, rain, or
frozen ground since we left Wyo-
ming. We get the Saratoga Sun,
aud it shines brighter to us in
California than it did in Wyo-
ming.

WEEKLY STOCK YARDS LETTER

Livestock shippers who. upon
visiting the market at South Oma-
ha, have feared for their lives
while crossing the network of
tracks to the Livestock exchange,
will shortly have no cause for such
apprehensions. The Union Stock
yards Co. has begun the construc-
ton of al immense viaduct across
the tracks, which will remove all
chances of accident.
This is but one of many i'm
provements to be made during the
coming season. The entire sys-
tenn of yards will be so improved
that stock can be handled expedi-
tiously.
The condition of the livestock
trade throughout the country and
what it will develop into is a sub
ject of as much to live
stock interests here as it is to the
shipper. Why such low prices as
those of the present should pre-
vail in view of the knowledge of
constantly lessening supply, is a
question the commission men find
it difficult to answer. Many are
ascribing it to the approach of a
presidential campaign and the
consequent aversion of packers to
load up their storage houses in
face of what is usually claimed to
be a dull year. Others declare
the cause to be industrial condi-
tions, which appear to be again
growing unsettled, because of the
growing tendency of employers to
refuse to recognize unions. These
two causes united would naturally
tend to restrict the operations of
the packers and cause them to
handle only sufficient stock to sup
ply the current demand.
Whatever the cause, livestock
men here affirm the condition can
not continue much longer. The
usual falling off of range receipts
has occurred and receipts have
shortened during the past week or
ten days. A continuance of the
short supply must eventually af-
feet the market and create a rise
in prices.
The breaking out of a new and
so far unknown disease among
horses about Hastings, Neb., is
noted here. The affected horses
die from distention of the stom-
ach, which usually bursts open.
An investigation is in progress
and will be taken to pre-.
vent the disease becoming cpl
demic.
The Wyoming sheepmen have
held a meeting since the previous
correspondence, with the state
sheep commissioners. The Ma
trona county sheepmen failed in
securing permission to enter Con-
verse county with their focks and
the commissioners ordered all
scabby sheep into quarantine.
Reviewing South Omaha mar
ket conditions and those of the
country at large, James G. Dahl
man. president Of the American
Commission Co, says regarding
the week preceding date of this
correspondence:

been a little short and the charac.
