treaty.
The senator did not believe that
what the president may have done

recognition of Panama, is sufficient
reason in law or conscience for the
defeat of this treaty" He expressed
the hope that some way might be
found to compensate Colombia.

not view the proposition so favorably
as some of his colleagues had.
The bill was finally passed, the title
being amended to read, "A bill to

Bert Lees Surprise Party.

Friday night the people of the
upper country got up a surprise
party on MI. and Mrs. Bert Lee
on South Spring creek which was
attended by about fifty of their
friends from around over the
country and a number from here.
When the guests arrived at $50
o'clock Mr.. and Mrs. Lee were in
bed but were soon routed and the
merry making commenced and
lasted until sun up the next morn
ing. This party was m of the most
successful surprise parties of the
season. Everybody got lost and
some found it very difficult to
get to the ranch at all the last rig
that came got there at eleven thir-
ty, after wandering over the coun-
try for about five hours but never
the-less they all finally got there.
On arriving every body turned in
and took up the carpets and NOV
ed the furniture and soon had the
dining room and sitting room in
shape to dance. At one O'Clock
Mrs. Lee served a very dainty and
delicious supper. After supper
several sang songs and then all
turned their attention to dancing
again and stayed at it until the
sun began to show itself over the
mountains in the east. Everybody
went awav~with a memory Of that
dance that will long stay in their
minds Mr.. and Mrs. Lee are one
of the many highly respected
people of this country and are
much loved by all.

A Great Temperance Organization.

The business world is now a
great temperance organization.
The great corporations demand
sobriety among its employees, not
from moral considerations but
purely from business considera-
tions. They want men with clear

ENCAMPMEMT SHELTER
and TRAMWAY
To be Operated Full Force Within Ten
Days-over sl2. 900 Spent in Remodel
ing and Repairing Plant and Tramway
Mngr. HUNS Interesting Talk.

Gen. Mngr. Hum. of the En-
campment smeiter and Thomas
Ahlstrand, manager of the En-
campment Transportation compa-
ny. were in the city Saturday, on
their way to the railroad. While
here Mngr. Hum gave some inter
esting facts in connection with
the smelter, tramway and the Fer
ris- Haggarty mine. He said:
I'VE have been spending the
winter in making improvements.
We have rebuilt a portion of the
tramway, putting in heavier tow
ers and anchoriug them with cab
les, to resist wind and storm. W.
also put in another engine at No.
3 station, and nov have an engine
at each end of the section that
goes over the Divide to the mine.
This was necessary, in order to
keep the cables taut. They would
buckle up and fly of the towers
and raise sheol generally some
times.
"Then we tore the stamp mill
mp and rebuilt that. We did not
tear down the main building but
we did remodel the entire interior.
We started the mill to crushing
ore Friday, and we will start the
smelter in about ten days. We
now have about 1000 tons of ore
in the bins, and about 5000 knock
ed down in the mine, enough to
keep us running steadily when we
start the smelter and mine to
work.
81 want to ship a car of blister
copper every day, when we get
started. Every oIher day a car of
coke will be brought in, besides
the other freight That the Trans
portation teams will haul in. We
now have ten S-horse freight
teams and we intend to put five
more on the road. We are con-
stantly buying heavy horses and
adding 10 ~ freight force. We
think we have things in such
shape now that we will not need
to shut down again for at least
twelve months. We ran the
smelter and tramway long enough
to discover where they were weak.
We have remedied those places,
and now we can go right on with
out a hitch"

Stray Thoughts From John Ruskin.

"No road to good knowledge is
wholly among the lilies and the
grass; there is rough climbing to
be done always"
Every noble life leaves the
fiber of it forever in the work of
the world. By so much evermore
the strength of the human race
has gained"
"You will find that the more
you resolve not to be useless, but
to help people, you will, in the
quickest and most delicate ways,
improve yourself"
"The first and last and closest
trial question to any living crea-
ture is: What do you like? Tell
me what you like, and I'll tell
you what you are"
I'm order that people may be
happy in their work, these three
things are needed: They must
be fit for it; they must not do too
much Of it; and they must have a
sense of success in it."
I'VE have certain work to do
for our bread, and that is to be
done strenuously; other work to
do for IL delight, and that is to
be done heartily; neither is to be
done by halves or shifts, but with
a will; and what is not worth this
effort is not to be done at ALL"
SIN the daily curse and discip-
line of right life we must contin-
ually and reciprocally submit and
surrender in all kind and courte-
GUS and affectionate ways; and
these submissions and ministries
to each other are as good for the
yielder as the receiver; they
strengthen and perfect as much
as they soften and refine"
! Right dress is that which is
fit for the station in life and the
work to be done in it, and which
is otherwise graceful, lasting,
healthful, and easy: on occasion
splendid; always as healthful as
possible. Right dress is there
fore strong, simple, radiantly
clean, carefully put on, carefully
kept. Beautiful dress is chiefly
beautiful in color, in harmony of
parts. and in mode of putting on
and wearing. Brightness of mind
is in nothing more shown than in
the mode of wearing simple
dress"

WITH A PIECE OF IRON PIPE
Holt, Of Riverside. Assaults Ed. Nathan
and Almost Commits Murder.

SUNDAY afternoon \. l. Holt
armed with a piece of iron, attack
ed Ed. Nathan, proprietor of the
Progressive Clothing Store, infict-
ing painful injuries.
Mr.. Nathan's left arm was brok-
en-, and his light arm was badly
splintered and bruised about the
elbow and he received many other
terrible injuries about the head
and shoulders.
While returning from church
with a young lady, in passing Mr..
Nathan's store, Holt believed he
was insulted. This is given as the
reason or provocation of the as
sault. After taking the young
lady home he secured a big piece
of iron, secreted himself in a mar
row alley way near Mr.. Natham's
store, and waited until Mr.. Ma
than passed on the sidewalk, when
he at once sprang out and quickly
beat him up with the bar of iron.
MIR. Nathan not expecting any
such attack, it was an easy matter
to get the best of him, aided with
the iron. Holt could very easily
have killed him.
Holt was at once taken in
charge by the officers and later a
warrant was sworn out charging
him with assault with intent to
kill" His bail was fixed at
$1,000. Record.

l.. c. Wilson, the man who
was so seriously wounded by his
companion, Joe McRoberts, on
the 3rd inst, and who has been
lying at the ranch of G. NJ Serb
ner, quietly awaiting what was
thought to be sure death, is up
and around and will be able to
travel in a weeks time. 1t was
thought to be useless to attempt
to afford any relief with the knife,
so he WAS made as comfortable as
possible until the end should ar
rive. Contrary to all expectations
the man showed no rise in tenn
perature or pulse, His condition
remained normal in every way,
and nature began, after a weeks
time, to assert her sway. He be-
came hungry and demanded food
which was given him. He suffer
ed no i'll effects from it, but, on
the contrary, began to gradually
improve, until he is now up and
dressed and moving around with
comfort. His recovery is some
thing quite remarkable.

The Value Of Time.

How little we value Time-the
most precious thing in all the
world! We hold in derision and
contempt the spendthrift who is
reckless in the use of money. We
read with pity the story of the
young man who squandered his
substance in riotous living. But
what, after all, is the waste of
money compared to the waste of
Time? If one should go forth
with a basket full of gold coins or
a casket of rare and precious jew
els and scatter them broadcast on
land and on sea, we would call
him a fool OIL say he was crazy.
But people waste hours and days
aud years with a reckless indiffer
ence to their inestimable value
which discounts the folly of the
mere financial probhigate, and
this extravaganza in Time is so
common that we scarcely give it a
thought in others or heed its sin
in ourselves.-Ex.

THE FRENCH CREEK TIE CAMP
Nearly Half a Million Pieces Of Timber
to be Sent Aaoat About the 10th of
May Fifteen Different Kinds Of Tim
Der to Drive Hard and Complicated
Work Before the Tie Men.

Alex III. McDougall. the clerk
at the French creek tie camp,
made Saratoga a flying visit this
week, coming down Tuesday and
going back Wednesday. He says
that all of the ties. props, etc. in
the camp. would be banked by
yesterday evening. The winter
has been a busy one and nearly
half a million pieces Of timber,
10000, will be set adritt about
the 10th of May, to be hoated to
the North Platte and on down to
Fit. Steele, where it will be doomed
and loaded onto cars sor shipment
to different points.
Mr. McDougall says there are
fifteen different kinds of timber
now banked on French, Barrett
and Brush creeks. ready to be
dumped into the teaming flood as
soon as the SHOWS begin to melt
and come roaring down the creeks.
In the camp there is fully five
feet of snow at the present time,
and Mr.. McDougal thinks the
ranchmen on the east side of the
Platte river will not suffer for wa
ter.
When questioned concerning
the rumor of the starting up of
a tie camp on Douglas creek this
coming summer, Mr.. McDouyal
said that depended entirely on
what action the government took
IN the matter of disposing of the
large area of burnt timber in that
locality. and it would not be
known what that action would be
before the LIST of June.

"A Noble outeast.''

The Saratoga Dramatic Club
gave the first of it's renditions in
the Jensen Opera House Tuesday
night to a very good audience. The
play was "A Noble Outcast." The
cast was as follows:
Col. Lee, a Southerner, C. w.
Scott.
Mrs. Lee, Miss Moore.
France Lee. Miss Blood.
James Blackburn, the villain,
w. R. Bradford.
Jack Worthington. the lover.
Elmer Andrews.
Kitty, the maid, Miss Human.
Jerry, the Outcast, Judge Blood.
The acting was most excellent
all the way through, the only
fault that could be found was in
the low tones of voice used by
some of the players. Miss Moore.
as Mrs. Lee, WAS fine. and left
nothing to he asked in the way OF
perfect acting. Miss Blood, ut
France, was the living. breathing
personification of her part. II
she had been living the life she
could not have been more natural
or affecting. Judge Blood, as the
Outcast, convinced all who saw il
that he was in his natural element.
He was simply being natural, and
his voice was clear and distinct.
so that every word was heard at
the back end of the building
Miss Human was all that could
be desired in her part as Kitty,
the maid, and made some clever
hits. Mr.. Scott made a good
southern planter, Mr.. Andrews
was an ardent lover and Mr.. Brad
ford was such a real villain that it
made ones blood run cold at times.
