TWO RAILROADS
Now Beins Built From
Walcott--U. P. Has
Filed Maps.
WILL BUILD TO ENCAMPMENT
And on Southwest Into the Elk Head
Country to Tap Anthracite Coal
Fields

Since the last issue of the Sun
several important things, having
q strong bearing of the future of
this valley, have taken place.
Among them, and chief of all, is
the filing of the map and survey
of the U. z. line from Waicott to
Encampment, through Saratoga.
The filing of this survey was fol
lowed by the announcement that
the road would be rushed through
It the earliest moment.
On Monday morning two car.
loads of men, horses, wagons and
surveyor's implements were I'M
eloaded at Walcott and on Tuesday
the outfit moved up to this
place. where they established
headquarters. There were twelve
men in the party, and they an
bounce it as their intention to be-
gin the work of surveying on the
Zine of road in both directions
from that point.
1t is understood that the L. p.
will parallel the Saratoga & En-
kcampment road from Walcott to
EEncampment, that at Encamp-
ment it will run a line between
5the north and south forks of the
Grand Encampment river, into
what is called the Elk Head coun-
try.
A party of surveyors, twelve in
number. arrived at the Hotel Wolf
TUESDAY evening. The party was
Sin charge of l.. b. Merriam. These
men were very reticent and no.
thing was learned of their move
ments beyond the fact that they
were in the employ of the L. ?.
road.

TIMBER SOLD ON RESERVES
Purchasers Required to Observe Forest
Service Regulations in Making
Cuts.

In view of the large sales of
timber in Wyoming forest re-
serves, made within the past few
weeks, the following bulletin, is
sued by the department of agri-
culture, is of interest:
The increased demand for the
purchase of timber from the forest
reserves has called for detailed
working plans for the more i'm
portant timbered areas within
them. In order to avoid delay
without jeopardizing the future
welfare of the forest, and that
these working plans may be well
considered, they are being made
as rapidly as possibly for those
forest areas from which the sale
of timber is probable in the near
future. In many cases they are
made before the actual application
for purchase is received.
Those who purchase timber
from the government are required
to observe forest service regula.
tons in logging, which guaro
against waste and provide for the
reproduction of the forest. Con
siderable variety exists in tn,
character and requirements of tn,
forests in any one reserves, 81
that each working plan must b,
based on n close study of loca
conditions.
When setting about the prepar
alton of one of these plans tn,
first question is, What e il

same scheme of management? AT

cry Day.

President Chatterton and Gen
eral Manager Ct. Nj. Hohl. of the
Saratoga q Encampment road ar
rived here Tuesday evening and
have been in consultation with
our people concerning railroad
matters. Last evening they met
the business men of the city at
the Dyer hall and had a talk, out
lining what they intended to do
for the town and assuring them
them that the Saratoga d En-
campment road would be butt
as rapidly as possible.
President Chatterton said it
was the expectation of the COM
pany to reach Saratoga by Janu-
airy LIST, 1906.
Fully 100 business men and
ranchmen We're present and the
meeting was a very enthusiastic
one. A vote of confidence was
given President Chatterton and a
promis of the support of the citi-
zens of the valley in his enter
prise.
The first of a lot of 10000 ties
arrived here Monday and are now
arriving daily.
Every one is watching the race
between the Saratoga u Encamp-
ment and the Union Pacific road
Walcott to Encampment. The
Union Pacific people boast that
they will have the steel laid on
their road to Encampment before
the 5 d + road is graded. The
S & f road retort by saying that
the L. p. Road is doing all il can
to hamper its work, and that if it
had a fair show it would be in
Saratoga in 30 days.

LUXE WHEELER RETURNS HOME

Luke Wheeler, who has been
in Phoenix, Ariz., for the past
year, returned home Saturday.
He will settle up his affairs
here and return to Arizona to
live, taking his family with him.
Mr.. Wheeler says he prefers that
country to this for the reason
that the altitude is not SO great.
He said the ranchmen of that
country were cutting their 18th
crop of alfalfa for the season of
1905.

ready been delivered and it is ex-
pected that within a week from

made of its amount. Then the
character and condition of the
stand are carefully determined
Its age, ov' rripeness, injury from
fire NJ insects, the possibilities OF
improving it by logging, and the
kind and amount of young growth
are principal points, all of which
must taken into consideration in
settling whether it is advisable or
unadvlsable to cut.
The question of markets, and
the logging facilities are also TAX
EN- INFO account, as we'll as the
present local demand for timber
the probable future demand. and,
the kind of timber required. In
connection with these problems
attention must be given to the ma
ture of the country, the accessi-
bllity of the timber, and the ex-
lsting roads and drivable streams.
because the actual value of the
timber is in large measure de-
pendent upon the east and econo-
myof its removal.
Reproduction, by which alone
the forest can maintain itself. is
essential where logging is to be
done. For this reason the repro
ductive character of the forest is
noted with careful detail. and the
effect which fire and grazing may
have upon it becomes d question
of the first importance.
The data, therefore, which the
working plan study has gathered
from the basis of the terms of the
contract in agreement with which
the purchaser of government tim
Der removes the timber which he
has purchased. These terms in
clude the diameter Limit below
which the timber may not be cut.
the number of seed trees of vari-
Gus species which must be left to
reseed the ground. the maxium
height at which the stumps may
be cut. and the diameter to which
the tops must be utilized, and
othet stipulations insuring clear,
conservative logging. Especially,
also, they provide for the DISPOSE
ton of the slash. so that the forest
floor may be safely cleaned from
inhamable material, on which un-
comfortable forest fires might
feed.
The restrictions exposed by the
forest service upon timber pur-
chasers are meeting with intelli-
gent approval Of all who are per-
forming logging operations under
them. 1t is more and more clear
ly understood that they are nee
c2ssary for : e permanent good of
the forest, -nat they are of a pure
ly practical stamp an" that their
observance means the continued
productivity of the forest, and,
therefore, the Outstanding of the
timber supply and all hat de-
ponds upon it.
