Editor Saratoga Sun
Dear Sir:-It may be of interest
to you and the readers of your pa
per to know of the splendid record
made by Chas. Parker, a young
man who came to us last fall from
your neighborhood.
He has taken rank as one of the
most faithful and trustworthy
students of Montana College. He
is alike popular with students and
faculty. This is best shown by
the honor conferred upon him last
Tuesday morning when he was
elected May King. This honor
is given each spring to the
most popular boy in school. He
presides owe the May Day exer-
cises and makes "A speech to his
subjects. The honor is one that
is worked for, but it came to Chas
Parker without his knowledge
He received every vote of the fac
ulty and student body.
Very respectfully,
L.. L. EATON. President
Everybody in the entire vale,
knows Charlie Parker, and all vii
be pleased to know of his popu
larity and uccess in the Montana
College. Charlie is bound to gel
there.

The assured marriage of the two
great oceans through the construc-
ton of the Panama canal has set
the forethought of transportation
enterprise to figuring on the prob
lem of an immense north and
south project that will develop
and set in motion in the direction
of this great water gateway the
greatest flood Of m the
American continent has ever pro-
duced.
Trade, existing traffic and the
possibilities for the development
of further business are the com
panion conditions to which the
transportation expert gives his
especial attention in the matter of
the selection of a railway route.
Denver is today, and always will
be, through natural conditions
and the aggressive enterprise of
her people, the railroad center of
the west. 1t is on a direct line
between the two objective terminal
points north and south. 1t is on
a line that if exploited carefully
by the transportation expert, will
be found to contain in an unbroken
line, inexhaustible, unparalleled
industrial resources.
1t is with the line from Denver
north that we of the North Platte
valley are directly concerned, 1t
is the Fort Collins, North Park
and North Platte valley route that
offers the inducements of the
most practical route, atfording the
easiest grade and having within
' itself and tributary territory a
traffic business that if known to
an appreciable extent by transpor-
tation companies operating in the
west. must have long since excited
their cupidity to the extent of
branching out and reaching for it.
1t is anybody's now, and the pcs
sibilities for the development of
an immense volume of new bust
ness are unequalled in any other
section of the northern half of the
western hemisphere.
Entering the North Park
through Cameron Pass, at the
very gateway is Teller, one of the
greatest silver camps in the great
state of Colorado. The advent of
railway transportation to this
point would set the wheels of de-
velopment's progress in rapid
motion, not only in the silver
camp of Teller, but in the contig-
uous territory of Lost Lake and
Willow creek, containing extern
sive asphaltum deposits that, at
the present stage of development,
are equal to a daily output of a
hundred tons. The distance from
these deposits to the head of the
Michigan river is only nine miles
The placers along Willow Greek,
though rich in gold, have have
hitherto been but s~paringly
worked. The principal features
OF that section are not favorable
to successful exploitation only by
means of dredging machinery anc
attendant appliances that call fol-
pther than team transportation

investigated to be appreciated
The entire area of approximately
l,6OO square miles is underlaid
with an excellent quality of coal,
Exploration of the field has been
limited, but to the extent of show
ing a depth of sixty feet in five
stratas. The character of the coal
is Ignite of the finest quality.
The stock industry is the ont
found profitable under existing
transportation conditions. The
placing i'll the market of the hay
product alone, would call for 20
cars every day of the 1865. The
eastern and western boundaries of
this rich territory are mountain
ranges throughout which the per-
sistent and patient prospector has
demonstrated their fullness of
mineral wealth, the outpouring of
which awaits the coming of the
great north and south railroad
line. These mineral conditions,
In an unbroken line, continue
north for many miles, in both the
Medicine Bow and Sierra Madre
ranges. In the northeast corner
of the park is situated a groupe of
mineral springs, the medicinal
properties of which entitie them
to fame and unbounded patronage
as a health resort. The northwest
corner, and at the base of a low
foot hill range known as the Hog
back, is the basis for a big bot
thing industry, the now little
known, but future famous springs
of natural soda water. At the ex-
IRENE north end of the park is the
Independence mountain placers,
from which considerable gold has
been taken, and where will be
built simultaneously with the ar
rival of the iron horse. a hustling
mining town.
There is a choice of exits from
the park to the north; one along
the North Platte river, the other
through the Hill ranch and Trout
man draw and into the mining
town of Pearl. on the state line.
This latter route would. in all
probability, be the choice as the
development of the greatest
amount of business would be in its
favor. Pearl is a mining town Of
great possibilities. In it's imme-
diate neighborhood are some of
the most promising mines in the
range. Stump Park, where some
rich gold discoveries have been
recently made, is situated only
sever miles west of Pearl. The
impetus given development in the
Pearl, Stump Park and Hay Park
camps would result in a rapid in
crease in population, the estab-
lishment of mining and kindred
industries and a transportation
business of dividend paying pro-
portions. From Pearl north, fol-
lowing the Big creek water level
are immense bodies of mineral,
that with modern transportation
facilities can be made the basis of
Il large and profitable industry for
owners and transportation compa-
MES. Several other mineral prop
critics of more than ordinary merit
are situated a short distance north
of the Cox mine. On and between
a distance of five miles, every foot
of which is mining territory, the
route energies into the very ex-
tensive stock and hay ranch OF
Hunter, Casteele & Hunter, from
which from 25 to so cars of stock
are shipped annually. A few
miles north on Big creek is the
famous Cox mine; on the two
Beavers are situated most excel
lent mining properties, producers
handicapped by lack of transpor.
tation. Had a line of railway
been through the valley during
the past three years, the Cox mine

arger Water Supply

At the village meeting held here last
week Tuesday evening it was voted to
take in the Noyes and Goodrich springs
above the present reservoir instead of
putting any money into Buck lake supply
or the Chase springs in Woodbury.. The
question OF obtaining supply from Buck
lake was discussed freely but it was final
ly decided not to take water from that
source at present as the additional
springs above the reservoir could be fitted
up for between $4,000 and $4,000, and
in this way the interest which would
accrue on the other investment would be
saved. Resolutions were adopted EN-
towering the trustees to act in the
matter OF purchasing the springs. The
water from the springs is to be conduct.
ed in pipes directly to the upper end of
the reservoir. A motion was adopted
providing for the use of the surplus in
the village treasury toward paying for
the new supply and then to take a
necessary balance from the sinking fund
which at the present is about $4,000
Owing to the waste of village water by
some of the residents of the town it was
decided to fix price on meter and have
the trustees introduce the meter system.
This is expected to stop the excessive
lawn sprinklng. The water tax brings
in about $4,000 a year and with a
meter system he.revenue will beincreased.
1t was also voted to increase the pay of
village officers from $3.50 to So day.
