HORSE ON SNOWSHOES NOW
Swede Mail Carrier in Wyoming Has
Steed Equipped for Heavy
Travel

Saratoga, Wyo.-Uncle Sam has to
overcome many difficulties in winter
time to supply mining camps in the
mountains with mail. The town of Dill
lon, which lis supplied tri-weekly from
his place, is at an altitude of 5000 feet.
Up to the LIST of February the mail cor
tractor managed to keep the trail open
for sledges, but there came such snow
fall at that time that sleds had to be
abandoned and the mail carried on
snowshoes.
The contractor has secured the serv-
ices of a Swede who has a horse which
he has taught to travel on snowshoes,
and from this time on the horse will
draw specially constructed handsled,
capable of carrying from 100 to 200
pounds. This will enable the people of
Dillon to get small packages of express
and other light matter along with their
mail. The difficult portion of the road
Is about four miles in length on the top
of the divide, where the snow is very
deep.

a piquant air of eastern mystery to the
beholder, which is a sharp contrast to
the prosaic high-road that skirts it.
Its closed door and lattices add to it's
lnscrutableness, and it suggests some
lonely stranger who refuses to sing the
songs of his native land in place OF

oring give welcome note OF warmth

When King Leopold first conceived
the idea of placing a Japanese pagoda
on this spot, he found the rocky site he
had chosen so uneven that towards the
road great masses of stone have been
built up, so as to form stable and even
base for the great structure. Then it
seemed too perched as it stood alone to
look artistic, and large pavilion or
wing has been added which serves as
entrance and staircase to the actual
tower.
Both edifices, just completed, are mar
vels of carving and gliding. Some of
the most beautiful specimens OF Jap
anese art, and indeed the greater part,
If not the whole, of the exterior of the
pagoda were bought by the king from
the Japanese section at the last Paris
exhibition, and since then his majesty
who takes the greatest interest in his
novel erection, experimenting every
thing-has employed agents to hunt
Japan for treasures.
Our photographs, just taken, give an
excellent idea of the beauties OF the
buildings, though the color scheme is,
Of course, lost. A double row of rail-
ings protects, from passers-by, the wood
of the pavilion, which is of a rich bright
brown, and deeply carved. Here and
there it is touched with red and black,
frightened with gliding, and ornament
ed with plaques of gilded bronze. The
pagoda itself is dark red, relieved with
gold and black, and it's ruddy.tip-tilted

they rise one above another. some tall,

ON his own administration. That which
has ended was largely an inheritance
from the martyred Mckinley, and Pres
ident Roosevelt has done his best to
carry out his predecessors policy, and
to redeem McKinley's promises.
Mr.. Roosevelt has at his disposal
6,203 'plums," carrying salaries any
where from $17,500 year to nothing.
These are civil offices known as ''presi-
dential," whose incumbents must bo
confirmed by the senate. They ara
places in the civil branch that are not
covered by the civil service. In addi-,
ton, of course, there are permanent
commissions in the army, navy and ju-,
dietary, but these do not count in the,
distribution of what are recognized as
political positions: The most produc-
tive part Of the presidential plum or
chard is that in the post Office de-
partment. There are 5,O82 places at
the disposal of the president, all but
Il of them being postmasterships of
the first, second and third class. The
fourth class postmasterships, which
carry less than $1,000 salary, are not
distributed by the president.
In the state department there are
five ambassadorships paying $17,5O0
per year each; two ambassad dorships.
those at Vienna and Rome, paying
$4,000 There are 80 ministers who
receive $4,000 to $4,000 per annum;.
then there are secretaryships of en-
bassies and legations paying from
$l,50O to $2.625 each. The total num-
Der of presidential appointments under
the state department amounts to 1,169.

states at much greater cost. The
Swedes in Denver are building one
that will cost several hundred
thousand dollars. Why then should
not great state like Minnesota be
able to appropriate an adequate sum
for an institution second in impor-
tance only to the asylums for the
care of the insane? At least
$500, 900 ought to have been approp-
rated for the purpose. Had the
sanitaruim been located at Mime
apolis or St. Paul a sufficient
amount would have been approp-
rated, and there would have been
no necessity to depend upon charity
for it's maintenance, as must be
done now, the legislature having
failed to appropriate cent for that
purpose.

The other day we went to the
butcher shop to buy some mutton.
The butcher informed us that he
had neglected to order any mutton
from Swift & Co., and therefor had
none on hand. That set us to think
ing. What necessity is there for
the people of Warren to look to
Swift & Co. for their mutton? With
hundreds of farms around us, every
one of which ought to have a flock
of sheep, and many of them do, why
should Swift & Co. supply us with
mutton, when the farmers in the
immediate vicinity can do so? The
butcher explained to US that he is
unable to buy enough sheep from
the farmers at this time of the year
to supply the demand for mutton,
and that most Of the sheep that may
be had are not fit to be butchered.
He said that sheep are fearfully
neglected on many farms during the
winter, both as to proper housing
and care, and consequently they are
very poor. Many lambs are lost on
this account. A man will tend to
his horses and cattle but let the
sheep shift for themselves. And
yet the well bred sheep is really
the most profitable animal kept on
the farm, if given proper care and
attention. There certainly ought to
be sheep enough in this vicinity to
supply the town with mutton the
year around, andyif there isn't there
ought to be.

War Taft There are eight associate
justices of the supreme court who re-
ceive $12,5O0 per annum each, and it is
not improbable that the president will
have one or more of these commits
sions to distribute during his next ad-
ministration.
There are some fat jobs in the GUS

presidential Offices that are regarded
as very attractive. There are eight as
sistant United States treasurers, one
of whom in New York receives $4,000,
or the same salary as the secretary Of

Under the interior department there
are 331 presidential berths, but the
salaries range from only $1,000 to
$4,000. In the department Of COM
merce and labor there are Al, only one

Relieves Overworked Horses, Is

Electricity the Power.


invention, the first rolling roadway ever
built, has been completed and placed
in operation in Cleveland. BY means
of it teams with heavy loads are car
ried up 20 per cent grade-forward
420 feet and upward IS feet-in four
minutes or less. Thousands of spec
tators have witnessed this interesting
sight, while at the same time numerous
representatives from other cities, and
even from Europe, interested in the va
rious problems of transportation, have
watched it's operation with interest.
In Cleveland, as in many other cities.
the wagon route for large volume Of
heavy traffic is necessarily up severa!
steep grades. The city proper is upon
an elevation and the docks and several
of the principal railroad depots are at
the foot of long inclines, over which
several streets lead On Factory street,
the site of the first roadway, the in
cline for many years has been traversed
by heavily laden teams, which climbed
the grade at snail's pace, and with
great difficulty. At the same time it
has never been possible to haul as heavy
loads up this incline as could be hauled
were the start made from the top of
the hill.
Under the new regime the team
draws its load to the foot of the roll
ing roadway and is carried to the top
without any effort at all on the part
of the horses. In addition to the say:
ing of labor on the part of the horses
and the saving of time to the owner
of the vehicle. it is believed that thxre
will be noticeable saving in black
smiths bills. The loads hauled in
this manner are fully equal to those
possible upon a level road. Horses
soon become used to the invention;
in fact, few of them frighten, even on
the first trip.
The rolling roadway is a great end
less belt, which is operated by means
of electric power, and which weighs
SO tons. 1t is the invention of COL
Isaac D. Smead, of Cincinnati, who
worked nearly three years on the
drawings before they were even seen
by others. The rolling roadway is con-
sidered wonderful piece of engineer
ing. About four months are required
to build such a roadway Nearly 100
men were employed on the one in
Cleveland. ...
At the top of the hill there is small
tower It is from this point that the
electric power is applied. When the
wagons have been clamped to the
roadway at the start the man in the
tower is notified by means of an cleo
trio signal, and the roadway begins to
move at the rate of some four miles an
hour. Once at the top of the hill and
upon the level, the machinery stops and
the clamps holding the wagon are
loosened. Ten vehicles can be placed
upon the roadway at one time. The
daily capacity is about 600 vehicles. A
toll of from 10 cents to Is cents is
charged, dependent upon the weight
of the 4oad For foot passengers two
cents toll is charged. However, while
the tests were being made vehicles and
foot passengers were carried free.

lodging in the city Jail two or three
nights ago by one of the night police
men who picked him up on the streets
in half drunken condition and at
first took him to a lodging house and
got him a room but later on finding
him ON the street again locked him up
for the night. Burns was six feet in
height, heavily built and had gray
hair and gray mustache. He was
about so years old. Death resulted
from acute alcoholism and exposure,
having their combined effect on a sys-
TEN weakened by the use of morphine
or some like drug.--Yakima Daily
