Stung by the example Of the Greater
New York's Greater TIM SULLIVAN, the
Hon. H1NKY DINK Of Chicago has gone
abroad strange countries for to see. He
hos been studying foreign politics and
institutions at close range. The general
conclusions which he has formed he has
put into golden sentences:
Ne for little old Chicago
The Europeans are . bunch Of has bceus..
Mr. DINK's judgment and criticism of
artistic matter are scarcely less terse
and altogether as refreshing He praises
the uniform sky line" of Berlin, where
"skyscrapers don't CO." In his delber-
ate and authoritative opinion, "it's a
oinch that Berlin is the finest city in
Europe" Kings, Kaisers and Queens
have respected his incognito-he is
travelling as "Mr. KENNA '-consequently
they have not been allowed to meet him;
but he has seen about million Of their
statues, which are thicker here in Europe
than Democrats in the First Ward"
Mr.. DINK is "for municipal owner
ship all right but, says he:
Il studied municipal, ownership In Glasgow for
two solid days. talked with motormen ana con-
ductors and went to the bottom Of the thing. The
system is profitable. but the wages arc only third
of those paid in Chicago. the fares higher and
the service Is rotten"
Mr.. D1NK makes q Enthusiastically
shrewd remark about the great expeo-
tations, now fading so rapidly. OF the
County Cook men in regard to NUM-

1T would be a misfortune to
the country if the few big papers

seriously with the publication of
the valuable and intelligent local

newspapers the welfare of the
country very largely depends.

possibly know the needs of the

for the Battle Lake Tunnel Site
Company, which is destined for
their property at Rambler. The
getting in of this immense ma

|quires some careful work. Steep
bills and rocky roads are the rule
bin mountain regions and a freight

engineer to accomplish the feat of
getting an $500 pound boiler to
it's destination.
Mr.. Sever also moved some ma

Mrs. p. A. Human was awak-

ter with the pleasing assurance
that there was a man in the house.
1t took some time to convince
Mrs. Human that such was the
fact, but the two women finally
lit a lamp and repaired to the
front part of the house, when they
found that the case had been strip
ped from a pillow in the front bed
room and the pillow left in the
middle of the bed. The netting
had been torn from the bed room
window, but there was no trace of
any person. The torn netting
and the pillow slip made it quite
certain that some sneak thief had
gotten into the house and had in
tended to carry off what he could
find in the pillow case, but was
compelled to leave empty handed

very glad to have as many people
as possible read the Chicago
American in the big cities and the
little cities. But we hope that in
every small town and every viii
lage there will be enough intel
ligence and public spirit on the
part of the local inhabitants to
support earnestly and enthusiasts
tically the best local newspaper
giving encouraging appreciation
and a good living to the local
editor, who alone can represent
and defend justice and public
spirit among his neighbors. The
mar is unfortunate who can not
afford to.take two newspapers at
to-day's prices. He who can
afford only one Newspaper, in our
opinion, should display his sense
of duty to his locality by taking

visited this neighborhood Mon

the rain poured down in torrents,
washing the country clean, and
leaving a sweet odor of growing
vegetation and flowers in the air.

was done eve to that, while an
immense amount OF benefit was

ANDERSON FINDS GOLD
IN Quartz Vein on Plains East Of Glib
ralter-Fine Specimens IT Free
Gold at Ten Feet

A free gold strike out on the
plains about two miles east of the
Gibraltar group is the most inter-
esting mining news of the week.
The discovery was made by
Nels Anderson and sons. They
began prospecting one of the
numerous quartz groupings that
are to be seen all along the Big
Greek road and in sinking they
encountered some fine specimens
of free gold ore, very similar in
appearance to the Ell Rey ore.
About a foot of the vein appears
to be quite rich at a depth of ten
feet and further developments
will be watched with great inter-
Jest. The owners says they will
work it all this fall and winter.
1t the values hold out or in
crease with greater depth there
will be lively times in that section
very soon. The Anderson vein is
put one of many qurtz hedges out
there on the plains which has
been passed by for years as un.

THE HOTEL WOLF
Popular Saratoga hostlery changes hands
"A. ]. Doggett took Charge
Tuesday.

The Hotel Wolf, one of the
most popular and noted hotels in
the state of Wyoming, changed
management Tuesday, F. G. Wolf,
the founder and owner, who has
so successfully conducted the
business for the past fifteen years,
retiring in favor of A. j. Doggett
who takes the property on a lease.
Every one in the valley knows
johnson" Doggett and he is pro-
badly one of the most popular
men in this entire region. AL
ways pleasant and genial in his
relations with his fellow-men, and
as straight as a string in business
matters, he will make one of the
most accommodating and agreeable
of landlords. 1t is safe to say
that under his management the
Hotel Wolf will go on to a great
er favor than even in the past.
F. G. Wolf is known through
out many states and territories,
for every traveller to and from the
Grand Encampment copper mines
has met and enjoyed his genial
hospitality. But Mr.. Wolf is
we'll along in years, has labored
almost day and night to bring his
hotel to its present efficient state
and he is well entitled to a rest.
He and Mrs. Wolf will soon join
Miss Nettie in Phoenix, and en-
JOY a much needed rest.
The Sun wishes the new enter
prise every possible success, and
in that wish is heartily seconded
by every person in the valley.

THE DILLON FOREST FIRE.
Special Agent Jsnison Returns Saturday
- Fire all out-was work Of
Sheep.herder.

Special Agent, W. E. Jenison
and A. R. Reynolds returned
from Dillon Saturday and Mr..
Jenison went ON to Cheyenne on
the outgoing stage. Mr.. Jenison
said that he had been able, with
a small force of men, to subdue
the fire. He says that the people
in that vicinity say that the fire
was set by a sheepherder, and are
very angry over the occurrence If
they were absolutely sure of their
man he would undoubtedly be
made to suffer severely for his
crime.
The fire, Mr.. Jenison SAID, was
confined by the creek on the side
and the mountain on the other,
making it possible to check it
without a very large outlay of
work. Had it gotten a very little
further it would have been in a
dense body of spruce and hem
lock, where the damage would
have been incalculable, and where
it would not have been possible to
check it until the SHOWS fell in the
fall.
The Ferris sawmill was right

have saved it from destruction.

they then went down the hill and

STATE FAIR
Gro wing cut Of the Industrial conven-
tion-It has become a State
Affair

Douglas, Wyo., Aug. AR
engagements r steadialy being
carried out for the First Annual
State Fair, which will be held at
Douglas on October Bird. 4th. 9Th,
and 9th, and from present indica-
tions it is safe to predict that the
affair will be the most successful
events of its kind ever held in the
state.
The Industrial Conventions
we're all right in a way, and with
out those gatherings at Laramie,
Cheyenne, Sheridan and Casper
during the past four years, the
state fair would probably not be a
reality today. The Industrial
Conventions served to awaken the
interest of our home people in ex-
plotting our splendid resources,
but those gatherings lacked the
advertising features that go with
a regularly organized and con-
Quoted State Fair.
The people of Douglas realize
that much is expected of them
also that they must make good in
this, their first effort, in order to
secure support in future years,
But Douglas, and her enterpris-
ing people are equal to the occa-
sion, and the fair will be a sue
cess.
The location of the State Fair
here vas made possible by an act
of the last legislature, which ap-
propriated $4,000 for grounds,
permanent buildings, etc. The
money for purses, premiums and
running expences has been raised
among the enterprising citizens
of Douglas and Converse County
and it is expected, while the bur.
den this year falls heavily upor
them, that enough will be realized
at the gate and from the privileg
es this season, to give the Fail
Commission something to worl
on another year, for the Stat'
Fair has come to stay.
The Fair Grounds are located
one-quarter of Il mile from thu
business center, and between tn
Northwestern Railroad and tn
Platte River, and consists o
about fifty acres of valley, over
looked by low bluffs on one side
and the Casper m ountains on tn
other. 1t is au ideal site; mos
convient to the town and depo
close to the unlimited water SUI
ply of the Plat, and accompanie
, by an ideal camp ground for tn
