The harp Of the Empress Josephine,
which was in possession of the EN-

to restore TO La Malmaison. where it
will hereafter be kept as a historic
souvenir, has arrived from Arenberg.
A curious incident connected with
the arrival was the fact that the Gus

be paid.

Contract Let for Ties
With Which to Con-
struct the Line.
CONSTRUCTION WILL BEGIN
By October 2oth, CT not Later Than the
lst Of November-contraot to be Let
to Four Different Parties and the
Road Pushed Through as
Rapidly as Possible.

Governor Chatterton and Geo
nj. Hohl, of Omaha. were III the city
the past week, consulting with our
citizens concerning the new rail
road which they propose TO build
from Walcott to Encampment.
While here they met with the
Board of Trade and the matter
was fully discussed, and many de
tails and important matters laid
before them that it would not be
proper to publish.
From here the gentlemen went
to Encampment and met the good
people of that town, receiving an
enthusiastic welcome. While in
that city they let the contract for
furnishing a portion of the ties to
E. A. Hull, of that place.
The building of this railroad also
contempIates the sale of the Hot
Springs property to the railroad
company. The advantage of this
arrangement is obvious, for the
railroad will advertise them and
and to much better advantage than
could be done by a private compa-
ny or corporation.
Governor Chatterton, the presi-
dent of the company, says that
contracts will be let and the road
begun not later than November /,
and as much sooner as the plans
will permit. He is of the opinion
that the road will be completed
to this place by the lst of January
and to Encampment by the LIST of
April, as there will be considerable
rock work to do in the Encamp-
ment canon. which can be done
during the winter months.
The road follow the river from
this place. to the mouth of the
Encampment, and from thence up
that stream to Encampment. This
is the route selected by Willis
George Emerson when he surveyed
the line. MI. Hohl is to be the
general manager of the company
and when he left here Monday last
he expressed the intentions of
returning in about "A week, and
taking up his residence here, SO as
to be near the work.

There is a contest on now be
tween Hanna and Walcott to see
which will be the distribution
point for the cement and other
materials which will be shipped
in for the great Pathfinder dam
to be built near Alcova, with the
chances largely in favor of Wal
colt getting the plum. There is
but very little difference in the
distance, but the road is best from
Walcott- This will be. a large
consideration, as a great number
of heavy freight teams will be re-
CURED to transport the supplies.

Denver to Boise, Ida, by way of
Laramie. r. II. Dryer. who is
said to be the general manager of
the road, was in Denver last Sun
day to meet local stockholders of
the company, and they are said to
have practically agreed TO push
the work at once.
Until a year ago Mr.. Owyer
was superintendent of the Mis-

to have secured the backing for

TIE CONTRACT LET.

While in Encampment Cover
nor Chatterton and Nj. Hohl,
representing the Saratoga d En-
campment railroad, let a contract
to +. w. Hull for 10000 ties.
These are to be furnished at the
mouth of the Encampment river,
and along the route from that
place up to Encanpment.
Monday morning, before these
men left for the railroad, they let
another tie contract to b. T. Ryan
and men associated with him.
This contract also calls for bridge
aud culvert timber and for their
delivery along the right of way
from the mouth of the Encamp-
ment to a point five miles north
of this place: The Ryan contract
calls for $4,000 ties. This leaves
II miles of the road unprovided
for and the ties for this portion
will be shipped in via Walcott
1t will require $500 ties to the
mile. Both contractors have
started in on the work of filling
these orders.

FERRIs-HAeGARTY SHUT DOWN.

The Ferris aggarty has been
closed down, the men paid up
and the mine sealed up for the
present. This step was brought
about by the fact that the smelter
at Encampment would close down
until the railroad would reach
that point. There is no failure of
ore, nor any other cause for this
shutting down that need give any
one any uneasiness for the flu
ture. As soon as the railroad
reaches Encampment the smelter
will be doubled in capacity, the
