the far east to the effect that the OPP
posing squadrons of the Japanese and
Russians met yesterday, but the paper
has no positive statement to support
its issue. The government gives out
nothing, and no credence is placed on
the rumors. The people are not very
enthusiastic over Rojestvensky, and, in
fact, there is an u~ndercurrent of hope
that he may be defeated, for in that

MEETING OF DIRECTORS OF COLO
RADIO, WYOMING AND IDAHO
ROAD TO BE HELD AT
BOSTON APRIL 26.
Director Haley Received Official Motif
cation by Mail and Says Company
Has Never Considered Changing
Route to Leave Laramie OH-Gone
to Denver to Attend Wedding Of
His Son, Ora Ben Haley.

Hon. Ora Haley, a member of the
board of directors of the Colorado,
Wyoming and Idaho Railway company,
this morning received the following
notice from e. S. Chepoweth of Boston,
secretary of the company, written
from suite 317-319, 60 State street,
Boston:
Boston, Mass, April 20, 1905.
Hon. Ora Haley, Laramie, Wyo.
Dear Sir:-I have just wired you
this date that there will be a directors
meeting of our road in this city April
&c. at 10 a. M. II convenient to do SO,
We ask you to be present. This meet
ing may be continued from day to day
for several days, but l hardly think SO.
After this meeting our company will
be in a position to push work vigor-
ously until the road is completed. This
ought to be good news for the people
of Wyoming, as railroads are badly
needed in that state. Yours very truly.
"E. S. CHENOWETH,
Secretary"
Mr.. Haley left this afternoon for
Denver to be present tomorrow evening
at the marriage of his SON., Ore Ben
Haley, to Miss hum of Denver, and
did not know when see by a reporter
for The Republican that he would be
able to go on to Boston. He would like
to be there, and believed the meeting
of the directors would accomplish the
end Of the negotiations for the com
pletion of the work.
Asked as to the proposed route of
the road, Mr.. Haley said he had heard
but n route mentioned by any Of the
directors of the road-that from Den
yer to Laramie and thence to Boise,
Idaho. There has never been any dis
cussion among the officers Of the road
concerning any other route. He did
not believe there would be any other
route. The only talk to the contrary
had been in the newspapers. None Of
it had been inspired, as far as he knew,
by a member of the directorate Of
the road, and the whereabouts Of the
engineers at no time had been given
to indicate a change of the company's
plan to build the road through this
city.
Messrs. Buck and West, connected
with the engineering department of
the road, left this afternoon, by team,
for Fish creek, but declined to give
the object of their trip to the country.
They went prepared to stay several
days, having food and provisions and
fodder for their team in the wagon.

gers were made as comfortable as pos.
sible. All the berths in all the sleep
ers kept in the yards here were occu-
pied all the time.
There was a rush Of material and
men to the scene of the accident, but 1t
was reported that during the night
more dirt fell in the cut from new
slides that was taken out during the
day, SO that the progress of opening
the cut has been slow. Among the

1t was reported Saturday night that
others had been killed in the wreck
besides the tramp, but that report was
denied at the Office here, the only mar
found dead being the tramp mentioned
above.
Friends here Of Charlie Walton were
uneasy about him yesterday, a tele-
phone message arriving from Chey-
enne that it was reported that he had
been caught in the wreck. Mr.. Walton
was located by a reporter for The
Republican and the fears Of his
friends allayed. He had been on q
train waiting at Walcott for the ar
rival Of the wrecked train, and was
not closer to the wreck than that
place. AS Don as the landslide oc-
Cured Mr.. Walton and the other mem
bers of the GREY were sent back to

A number of the friends of Mr.. Hook
were permitted to accompany him to
Denver Sunday morning, including bro
Their members of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Firemen, that they might
care for him. They declare their be-
lief that he will recover. Messrs. Hook,
Nelson and Bowman. the injured train
men, reside in this city, the two latter
being cared for at home.
There vas a considerable congestion
of the yards here yesterday and last
night, Yardmaster John Crooks having
all he could do to provide for the In
coming freight trains, but later in the
evening Chief Dispatcher Morris at
Cheyenne suspended the movement OF
freight westward over the hill, and
there were no new arrivals this fore
noon. Freight that can lie still will be
permitted to do so for the present,
until the break near Edison tunnel a

senger trains will proceed over the
temporary track westward.
Mr.. Brees, who was on the spot yes
terday with one of his teams trans
ferring mail from one side to the other,
said the scene was a very peculiar one.
There was a haul of about a mile and a
half, through a deep gulch and over
very rough road. To add to the incon-
venience Of the matter. the weather
was VIEW nasty, the wind bringing rain
and snow and. consequently, mud.

The year just drawing to 'a2cfUse has

at once, and it is believed that the
company, when the ore output is in
creased as it must be, by these OPP

CHE Basis Of Prosperity.
...Hdvdnte Tn Horticulture

When all is said and done. there is
no industry that is of so great impor
lance to Fergus county as agriculture.
This is not alone because of the
amount of wealth it produces. but be
cause SO many otner industries rest
upon it and because of the number of
people engaged in it. 1t is the real
basis of the prosperity of the great
mass of people. and the success of gen
cral business enterprises is dependent
upon the success of the farmers. The
latter have no cause for complaint this
year. Generally speaking. they have
produced good crops, with the usual
number that are only average and
some. OF course. that are below that
standard.
Cultivation Of Eench Lands.
Perhaps the most important develop
ment in this field during the present
year has been the vast acreage of

Ore in the Townste.
The Kendall townsite has lately been

Of the district A company was form
ed some time ago to develop this sec
ton, and considerable work was done
by the Cyanide company, which was
recently taken over by the Chicago
Exploration company. Ore was found
in the first diamond drill hole put
down, and the work of exploration is
still going on. although the owners
al nounce that they are SO we'll salts,
fled with the showing already made
that they have decided to develop rb e
property at an early date.
Ore has been found away to the
north of Kendall, on Plum creek, and
this section will be the scene of ex-
tensive operations during the coming
season. The work now going on at
the Fergus tract, northeast CT the
mountain. and on the fiat, is one
in which the whole district is greatly
Interested. Many experts hold that
the great blanket vein extends across
the fiat, and should this theory prove
correct, it will make Kendall the great
est cyanide camp in the world, The
diamond drill is now down about l.,
900 feet. and while ore has been
found, it is not yet certain that the
Kendall vein is there, although all tne
indications are favorable. John A
Drake and local parties are carrying
on this enterprise.
There are number of other prop
critics at Kendall that will be develop

the Oscar Stephens tract from which
much is expected, the Abbey group
owned by John r. Cook. the Bullart
