transportation Line.

c.. r. Ferris and Frank Kelsey
have decided to put on a trans
p~ortation line from here to Dillon
as soon as the road is open so that
it is possible to reach the camp
with horses. At present the snow
is melting so rapidly that the bot.
tom has fallen out of the snow
road and it is impossible for horses
to travel through it.
For some time an effort has
been made to interest Rawlins
merchants in the enterprise but it
was not taken hold of readily.
Mr.. Ferris, backed by his own en-
terprise and with the assistance of
MI. Kelsey who has a number of
teams that he can put into the SER
vice immediately, will start the
line at once or within a short time.
Mr.. Ferris large mercantile in
~terests in the camp will furnish a
large amount of business for the
line and when the line is estab-
lished a great deal of business will
naturally come this way SO that
the scheme will be a paying one
from the start. 1t is said that the
road is in need of some repairs
which ought to be looked to by
Rswlins merchants as the benefit
is to them more than anyone else.

Householders Improving Things.

There is a great deal doing this
year in the way of ornamental
work on lawns and flower gardens
throughout the town. Yards have
been cleaned up, flower beds have
been constructed, walks built, and
every effort made to bring the
yards and lawns up to their high
est point in the way of grass,
shrubbery, and flowers. The peo-
pie are beginning to understand
that they can grow almost any
kind of flower out of doors here
Just as well as elsewhere, and are
taking advantage of it to make
some beautiful spots throughout
the city.

A Chicago COMPANY
To Reclaim $4,000 Acres Of Land East
and Northeast Of saratoga-Big Col
ony Between Saratoga and Enoamp-
nent.

Application has been made
through the local Land Office for
the withdrawal of $4,000 acres of
land situated on the east bank of
the North Platte River, in south
EN- Carbon County, to be reclaim
ed by the Platte Valley Canal.
This marks the launching of
another huge irrigation project in
Wyoming. The enterprise is
backed by wealthy Chicago CAPT
%talists and it is understood the
Union Pacific Railroad Company
is Interested in the scheme In adj
dition to the $4,000 acres of Gov
eminent land, $4,000 acres of rail
road land lying adjacent to the
other tract on the north will be
reclaimed, a total of $4,000 acres.
The Company is known as the
Western Land and Irrigation
Company and the magnitude of
the project is shown bv the plans
of the concern. Two huge reser
voirs are to be constructed. one
on Brush creek and the other on
French Creek. both tributaries to
the Platte River. From these
reservoirs a canal sixty miles in
length will be built which will re-
claim the entire tract of $1,000
acres of Government and railroad
land lying on the east bank of the
Platte River and within fifteen
miles of the Union Pacific Rail
road.
This mammoth project, with
the big colony TO be established
between Saratoga and Grand En-
campment, will make southern
Carbon County one of the most
important agricultural districts Of
the State and bring thousands of
settlers to the iistrict.-Wyoming

When womsn's Clothing Catches Fire.

Since the last issue of the Sun
it has been a~scertained that all of
the government land, between the
North Platte river and the Medi-
cine Bow range of mountains,
from Brush creek to Pass creek,
has been segregated by the State
of Wyoming, for the benefit of the
Western Land q Irrigation Com
pany. The list published in the
last issue Of this paper was only a
partial list of the Withdrawals
from entry, and it is now certain
that all of the land available has
been selected by this company
and will, from this time on, only
be subject to entry under the
Carey act.
As soon as we are in possession
of the dance of the list it will be
given our readers, or its bounds
defined, so that settlers on govern
ment land will know what their
position is with reference to this
segregated land.
The lands withdrawn in town
ships IA and 10, n. of r. 50, as
given in the Sun, were withdrawn
for a Mr.. Park inson, of Encamp-
ment, who is interested in a large
ditch that is to come out of the
North Platte river somewhere
near the mouth of Big creek.
These are encouraging signs of
coming improvement and, while it
will work a hardship on some of
those who were intending to take
up government land under the
desert net, it will, in the end,
prove a great benefit to the country
in the way of settlement. There
is now no doubt but what the
ditch enterprise, fostered by the
Western Land Il Irrigation Co.,
will go ahead. Mr., Simpson, the
general manager of the company,
was here for several days the past
week, looking over the situation
and making such preparation for
work as was possible to do at this
time.

To the Editor of The Tribune,
Cheyenne, Wyo.
Dear Sir; My attention was call
ed to the issue of the Cheyenne
Leader for the 22nd instant, in
which appears a communication
written under the nom de plume
of "One Vino Knows" This is
certainly a misnomer, as the writ
er is evidently one who does not
know or is a malicious prevarica-
tor. The whole communication,
as far as it refers to me, is a tissue
of falsehoods and bears all the ear
marks of having been written by
a "distinguished' politician in
your city, who has been feeding at
the public crib for 10, these many
years, and is still engaged at the
''pie counter" Statements in the
nature of personal attack, made in
the public press by those who dis
guise their identity, are to say the
least extremely questionable, often
wilfully false. / wrote the Chey-
enne Leader yesterday in refer
ence 10 an editorial of the previous
day concerning Mr.. Mondell's
candidacy, assuring it of my sup
port of Mr.. Mondell. In all fair
ness to Governor Chatterton al
low me to say that at no time has
this congressional question been
discussed between us, and / wish
to state right here and now, that
| am not a candidate.
1t certainly appears that the
sole object of this communication
and of the various leading articles
which have appeared in the Lead

Dear Sir:
1 will send you a bit of news;
Last Thursday was a bowling day
but it did not prevent a dozen
friends of Mrs. d. d. Wagner
from gathering their baskets Of
good things together and going to
the Wagner ranch to give her a
surprise party and celebrate her
birthday. Although the storm
prevented many of her friends
from taking part, the surprise was
complete. and when at 5 O'Clock
the party departed, the ladies' felt
they had not faced the storm in
vain, and the gentlemen that they
had had a good dinner, as most of
Cedar Creek are noted for their
good cooking.

NORTH AMERICAN NEWS
corcentrator and Tramway Running
Changes in Water Rates.

The operations of the North
American Copper company are as
Stunning a very attractive appear
ance. Wheels that have been idle
for several months are beginning
to turn and it will be but a short
time until every piece of machin-
cry in the entire mammoth insti-
tuition will be humming with life.
The tramway starts today, the
entire length being in operation
and ore transportation will begin
either Saturday or Monday. 1t is
expected that there will be few if
any interruptions in the work of
the tramway this season. All the
weak spots have been found and
strengthened and the whole six
teen miles of cable and towers are
now in as good and substantial
condition as engineering skill can
make them. Every station is in
charge of thoroughly experienced
and competent engineers SO that
no time will be lost in experiment
ing.
The tramway will now be oper-
ated by a thorough system as ex-
lists in railroad freighting. One
half of the concentrator has been
in operation for several days and
the other half is nearly ready to
begin grinding the ore.
Since Mr.. Lamb took charge of
the concentration some slight
changes have been iuaugurated
and a large force of mechanics are
are pushing them to completion.
The elevated sluice way built to
convey the tailings from the con-
centrator to settling ponds on the
opposite side of the river was put
into use for the first time this
week and it works to perfection.
No more slime or tailings will go
into the river and ranchmen viii
find no more polluted water in
their irrigation bitches.
The Encampment Water Works
company has issued a circular
specifying rates to be in force
May LIST. The rate per hydrant
has been raised twenty-five cents
a month, but If paid in advance
before the twelfth Of the month, a
discount of twenty-five cents for
each hydrant will be allowed.
Hereafter no collector will be
sent out but all bills will be pay
able at the office.
Parties having no hydrants on
their premises but getting water
from other premises-will be charg-
ed Sl.00 a month.
After June first the water wag-
ons will not deliver water to
houses on streets where the water
has its lines.
Hereafter the company will
make no connection with outside
h~ydrants supplying more than one
house.
Perhaps the contemplated ex-
tension and improvement of the
city water works is of the greatest
direct interest to the majority of
Grand Encampment residents.
Some extensive additions to the
present water system are to be
made right away, the details of
which will be made at a later date.
1t is intended that the water will
be made available to nearly every
of the town. The water
rates in Grand Eucampment are
very moderate and the service is
equal to the best in any city. This
fact should be appreciated and the
water company assisted in their
effort to please. Mr. E. X. Hum
has gone to Denver for IA short
business trip. Some news of i'm
p%ortance may be expected upon
his acknowledgements Herald
