U. strike that Is now in progress.
There has not been a train over this
division for three days and no living
man can tell Just now when there will
be one.'
And SO We were up against 1t again.
After laying around Piedmont for q
good many hours the agent informed
US that q train was coming through and
we boarded it and it finally got past
Evanston and down to Ogden, where
everything was tied up both going and
coming. There, however, we hired a
team and drove down to Pennington,
where we caught the electric line for
Salt Lake City. and when we drove in
to Zion that day l may be pardoned
for saying the sight was a tribe beau
tiful to me.
If there was anything that failed
to happen to party on that trip
1t probably did not occur to the power
that was controlling our destinies at
that particular time"
Laramie was called at this time and
Senator Sutherland said goodbye.

SEVERE COMMENT ON KEEFE.

Mrs. Cora V. Graves of the Thermop-
oils Optimist comments in a rather
drastic manner upon the punishment
being melted out to Mr.. Frank Keefe
for the killing of Baxter and King.
The lady says:
-Four years in the pen for killing
two mem! Think OF it. When Frank
Keefe, of Rawlins, killed a policeman
named Baxter and a railroad man nam
ed Tom King, while on a drunken
spree, for a time lynching was loudly
talked OF. The excitement wore away
Able attorneys were employed to de
fend Keefe, the double murderer was
convicted of killing Baxter the police
man while in the discharge of his du-
ties n sentenced to four years in
the pen. Now that his time is about
up 1t Is proposed to try the prisoner
for the killing of King, to which propo-
sition his counsel object and of course
have had four years in which to form
their numerous reasons. And who can
guess the outcome? Poor Kings body
lies Wondering 90 dust instead of en-
toying the fireside Of a devoted family,
he Is almost forgotten outside his W
family and a few intimate friends. He
cannot speak for his rights. Baxter.
the big, joval policeman who always
had a good word for everyone, had a
jury declare his life worth only four
years of a drunken murderer's. Meth
er he or King could defend themselves.
They were only inanimate clay at the
time of the trial. Shot down and their
friends left to mourn their untimely
end. Four years for a double murder!
II this man Keefe escapes the laws
clutches for the killing of King, then
as far as the law of our country Is con-
cerned, 1t would pay n fellow to get
all his enemies in a bunch and slaugh-
ter them like SO many cattle. No use
doing things by halves. Just kill off
the whole bunch at once and get four
years in the pen, or perhaps less

II The Republican is not very much
mistaken, the Laramie plains will de-
rive q great benefit from the irriga-
ton work going on in the arid states
not 80 much perhaps from the di.
rect work, but through the attention
that will be drawn to our advantages
indirectly. We have the land, the wa
ter and the climate to build up an i'm
mense agricultural community. Our
agriculture will be more along the line
Of combined stockraising and farming,
the most profitable kind Of agricultural
work. These plains are destined to
fatten hundreds of thousands Of lambs
and to raise the fat cattle and the but
ter and cheese for a vast multitude OF
people.

WYOMING'S BIG UPLIFT.

Just at the present time Wyoming
is receiving more advertising through
the newspapers of the large cities than
ever before in its history, and this out
side advertising will be augmented q
hundred fold after the big railroads
begin booming their rates for the
Wind River reservation opening.
The latest advertising Of more than
usual interest is contained in the red
headed" article in the Denver, Post,
which sets forth that ATTY millions
are to be expended to improve this
rich state" 1t divides the amount a.
follows: Irrigation projects, 100000
600; railroad construction, 100000
600; oil fields, coal and metal mines,
new colonies and new towns, 100000
900.
First to be considered are the irriga-
ton projects Of Wyoming. Few OF
our people realize their immensely and
still fewer have any kind of an idea
Just what all this development will
mean to the state. The reclamation
act is virtually an endless chain. The
money received from the sale Of pub
lie lands all goes into the reclamation
fund and when the lands are reclaim
ed and the money advanced by the
government is paid back by the set
tiers 1t is again placed in the reclamar
ton fund for the construction Of more
reservoirs and more canals for the
reclamation Of other lands. Practical

Japan on one extension Of eleven

two tunnels, 633 feet and 2,235 feet
in length. respectively. and n bridge
of 2,009 feet. Acother extension Of
fourteen miles was built last year.
This line also required several
bridges. Other shorter and temporary

RAILROAD CONTESTS IN WYO-
MING.

With the question at issue between
rival railroad companies 10 engaged
IN litigation before the Wyoming
courts, the general public has nothing
to do. but great interest is felt IN Den
yer as well as in Wyoming in the
question whether the central and west
ern parts of that state are to be open
ed by railroad lines in the near fut-
ure.
The region in question contains
great natural resources of coal and oil.
which needs railroads for their ade-
quate development. The attention OF
capitalists has for years been direct
ed to these sources of natural wealth,
and 1t Is highly probable that much
money would be invested in them If
there were easy access to a market.
Several lines of railroad have been
in contemplation, prominent among
which are those of the Burlington, the
Chicago and Northwestern and the
IBelgo-American company. which some
time ago acquired various oil rights in
central Wyoming.
The fact that the Shoshone Indian
reservation will be opened in about a
year from the date is another induce.
ment to the construction of these
lines; and II too great obstacles are
not thrown in the way work will prob
ably be begun at an early date. 1t
would place a new phase upon the sit
uation If these lines should be built,
thereby bringing the parts of Wyoming
referred to into direct communication
with the remainder of the country

The alleged election conspirators
at Louisville, policemen and other
tools of the democratic machine who
assassinate the ballot there at every
election, were given fair trial and
acquitted. They were not adjudged
innocent, however. because they did
not violate the law, or because II was
not proven that they violated the
law. but because the jury was not
convinced that they were technically
guilty of conspiracy" In other
words, they assaulted and otherwise
intimfdated Voters, bat II could not
be proven that they had any previous
agreement to accomplish the result
that was accomplished. II is a vic
tory for the election thieves, but
next time they will not find such easy
sailing. AS the Post remarks, here
after determined men will be found
near all the polls, and democrats or
others attempting tn interfere with
the election will do so at their peril.

IT is DIFFERENT HERE.

James Dalrymple, of Glasgow,
Scotland. is here TO. tell the people
of Chicago something about owning
and operating the street car lines.
The distinguished Scot will possibly
find things a little different from
what he expects-unless he was bet
ter informed on conditions in Amer
lean cities than is suspected. Mr..
Dalrymple is quoted as having said
of the principle of municipal owner
ship as applied in Glasgow;
Glasgow now controls its gas,
electricity, tramways. water, mark
cts, parks, baths. lodging houses and
telephone system. The situation in
Glasgow Is different from what il is
here. In this country, | understand,
every man holding a municipal posi-
ton has to be a politician. whereas
in Glasgow, every man in the city
service must not be a politician
Since Glasgow took over the tram
ways in 1894, we have raised sala-
ries, and increased mileage, and re-
duced the fare so that now 1t is a
half penny per half mile, the maxi
mum charge being ten cents in your
money. We plan to pay interest, two
per cent. for a sinking fund, intend
to wipe off the debt in thirty years;
and five per cent. for depreciation"
One thing Mr. Dalrymple may find
out is that there is about as much
prospect of taking municipal mat
tiers out of politics in Chicago as
there is of hen sprouting teeth.
The problems that Chicago has TO
solve are not those on which foreign
ers who know nothing about condi-
lions over here, can give her point
ers. Mr.. Dalrymple doubtless UNI
question In his own home. where he
says there is no politics. but he may
have no conception of what munic-
pal ownership would be In the Unit
ed States. where unfortunately men
are put in control of such utilities
where a city owns them. because of
their politics and not because of their
competency or knowledge OF the
things necessary to know to success
fully, satisfactorily and profitably
operate them.
II Mr.. Dalrymple can tell us how
10 get politics out OF such things, II
will be of vastly more benefit than
telling how they operate the car
lines In Glasgow AS he himself vir-
tually admits. municipal ownership
cannot be success where the men
In control are politicians.

get out. Nothing short of dynamite
would liberate them.
Willis Mount. recently granted a
new trial for killing Willis Nutty. is
the most fortunate one of all. as he
didn't happen to be in cell when the
machinery sank down and prevented
the opening of the cells. As result
he may still spend his time In the
corridor. He sleeps and eats in a
front cell not in the Jail proper
