HAULING WOOD ON TRAM.

A new and unique method of
furnishing wood to the mine has
been adopted. The return buck
cts from the smelter instead of
coming back empty, are now
loaded with cordwood Mt the ter.
mlnal and haul the wood to the
mine to be used for fuel. The
wood is first sawed in two foot
lengths and then loaded in the
buckets like ore. At the mine a
big platform has been built at the
first tower out from the TERMINAL
and a man stationed there to dump
the buckets as they arrive. The
wood is then hauled from there to
the power house in wagons. The
wood was originally foated down
the Platte river to Encampment
for use at the smelter and reduc-
ton works and can be laid down
at the mine by the new plan cheap

erves the most rigid treatment.
DIR. Seabury ought to- be the guest
of every ranchman and every
owner of horses long enough to
examine every horse in the valley.
The disease seems quite prevalent
and will require most stringent
methods.
Ranchmen ought to take their
horses to DR.. Seabury o have him
go to their ranch and give him
every assistance possible. If the
state veterinarian has to fight the
horse owners as we'll as the disease
it will take longer to rid the oun
try of it, but DIR. Seabury has
started in to win and is going to
win.
The thing to do is to stay by
him.

DEVELOPING FAST
Proving All The Past
Statements in Re-
gard to 1t
THE CHARTER OAK MINE
At a Depth Of Forty feet the vein shows
to be Four feet in Thickness One
shot brought down Seven Toas.

W. j. Crane, who arrived here
Sunday from the East, left the
same afternoon for the Charter
Oak mine, in company with Z.
w. Arlington and A. Miller. They
returned Tuesday. Mr.. Crane
says that the work of develop
ment is being pushed vigorously
forward by j. B. Hassett, the
superintendent of the mine. As
Mr.. Hassett is a practical mining
engineer, no one doubts the scien-
titic manner of the work now in
progress there.
Mr.. Crane says that while he
was there a shot was put in that
knocked down about seven tons
of high grade ore, samples of
which he brought down with him.
This ore is very similar to the
high grade ore taken from the
Ferris Haggarty-in fact it would
take an expert to detect the diff
ference.
The work of getting the mine
in shape for winter work will soon
be completed. 1t is the intention
of Mr.. Hassett to put two shifts
at work early this fall and keep
them on during the entire winter.
The vein is four feet in thickness
now, having widened out and be-
come well defined within the past
two week.

In order that the census may be

to have the work gone over by an

SUGAR BEETS
German Farmers coming to this Country
for the Purpose Of Engaging in
their Cultivation.

Within the last five years the
sugar beet has sprung into first
rank as one of most important
factors in insuring the material
wealth of Wyoming, Now comes
the statement that a large num-
Der of farmers from the nelghbor-
hood Of Magdebury, Germany,
have sold their sugar beet lands
there and are coming to this state
to take up the cultivation of the
vegetable. This intelligence
comes through DIR. Emile Doom,
of Chicago, the author of A
Guide to German Immigrants"
These German farmers. it is
said, practically have been driven
out of the Fatherland because of
the high freight rates imposed
there by the governments. The
same condition prevails in the
wheat industry of Germany. The
farmers of the eastern provinces
are unable, because of high tar
ifs, to ship their grain to the big
markets in the eastern part of
their country and enter into sue
cessful competition with the
wheat and corn from the grain
belts of the United States.
This exodus from Germany of
thrifty tillers of the soil will re-
bound to the advantage of Wyom-
ing. But it also points a lesson
during the present agitation for
the national fixing of rates in this
country. The moral is too obvi-
GUS to require calculation.

DR.. SEABURY'S WORK
A Disagreeable Task, but one that is be-
ing Faithfully Done-will free
the Valley.

The thorough and efficient man.
ner in which DR.. Seabury, the
State Veterinarian, is doing the
work of graduating diseased
horses from this country is
worthy of the highest praise. But
few people realise how dangerous
it is, as we'll as disagreeable, to
have to work over diseased horses,
examining, testing, taking tenn
preture, etc. A man that will
stand faithfully up to the rack
when he knows that his life is in
danger every hour is certainly to
be commended.
Up to the present time the
Doctor has sent A head to the
bone yard, every one of whom
gave unmistakable signs of the
disease. At first only those that
were running at the nose and
bearing other signs of CHAMBERS
were tested and condemned. As
soon as all of these had been
cleared out then the horses that
were known to have been exposed
were brought in and tested. A few
OF these were, after a most rigid
test, turned over to their owners
rs free from the disease. but a
number of head upon which no
outward signs were manifest,
were found to be infected when
the test vas applied. One batch
of five head, known to have been
exposed, but showing no signs of
disease, as soon as the test was
applied gave up unmistakable
signs that the disease was in
their systems but had not yet
come to the surface.
n manner In which horses
are being brought in for testing,
at the present time, shows that
the people are thoroughly aroused
oye the situation and are anxious
to cooperate with DR.. Seabury
in his important work. The end
is in sight. More and more
horses are being sent home, pro-
nounced 'free from the disease
Another two weeks will clear the
valley of CHAMBERS, if the ranch
men and stock owners will use
the same discretion and good
that now actuates them.

A CHANCE TO HELP
Sound Advice, From the Rawlins Repub-
lican, to the Owners Of Horses in
This Valley

The following from the Rawlins
Republican is so applicable to the
situation here that we gladly give
it space:
State Veterinarian Seabury
seems to have a job on his hands
in the Platte valley, that of clean
ing up the CHAMBERS among horses
in that section. He states that
he knows of t~hirty-one head in
fected and expects that there are
many more. These horses are all
to be shot, and the state will pay
two-thirds the appraised value of
the animals.
What causes the wonder Is how
there could be thirty one head of
infected animals before the dis
ease is stopped. 1t is only a few
weeks ago that DIR. Seabury went
into the Platte valley to examine
the conditions and condemned
nine horses to death, now there
are thirty one making in all forty
head of horses, and maybe many
more.
Owners of horses seem to try to
evade the veterinarian as much as
possible and hide out their horses
so that when he starts on a search
he cannot find them, just to keep
from losing a horse, knowing all
of the time that they will infect
other animals. The disease is
both incurable and Infectious and
the man who refuses or neglects
to have his horses examined des.

OLD SOLDIERS BETTER GO SLOW.

The following will prove inter-
esting reading to the old soldiers
who contemplate taking a try for
a homestead in the Unita Res
ervation. We all know that what
Commissioner Richards, says is
traight goods. He has this to
say of the proposed opening:
at is my opinion that the best
of the lands have been taken for
Indian allotment and grazing
land. Only a small portion of
the land that will be open for
entry Aug. % will be at all avail
able. All of the land to be OPEN
ed will have to be irrigated
in order to cultivate it, and all
homestead entries will have to
pay Sl.25 per acre at the time
they make their final proof, which
money goes to the Indians. |
make this statement to you in
order that the old soldiers who
are contemplating going to regis
ter for themselves and others may
not be disappointed if they do
not succeed in obtaining desir-
able land, providing their names
are drawn in such order as to
permit them to make an entry"

ELECTRIC R.. R.
What Others Think of
Proposition Grow
ing in favor.
BEST POSSIBLE SCHEME
The Views Of a Practical Man, who says
that the Electric road is the COM
ing means Of Transportation.

Since the Sun has been advo-
eating an electric line between
this point and Walcott, the pro-
position has come into popular
favor. MOI much was thought of
an electric line until it was
eploited in these columns. Now,
the people all seem in favor of it.
They begin to realise the i'm
portance that is being attached to
this means of transportation all
over the land. E. Ell. Hewitt. a
former resident of this valley,
but now of Oakland, Calf, who
was here on a recent visit, gave
us much information concerning
electric lines. Mr.. Hewitt has
been employed on electric railways
for the past four or five years on
the Pacific coast, and when APP
preached on the subject of the
road from here to Walcott, said:
II think you are on the right
track now. l fully realise how
much better transportation facil-
tiles mean to your people. You
cannot expect to go much further
with your development until you
do get a railroad of some kind.
An electric road between here and
Walcott is certainly a feasible
proposition. You know they run
electric lines almost every where
now, up hill and down, and no
out-of-the-way place of any i'm
portance on the Coast is so isolat-
ed that it is not now reached by
an electric line.
81 would advise water power in
this case. You have the North
Platte river, and you can always
depend upon that. 1t is, I will
admit, much more expensive on
the start, but once you have it
in working order it will almost
run itself. After it is ready it
will require hut little cost to keep
it always right up to the notch.
If you have steam power, that will
require constant attention-there
is practically no cutting down of
expenses as in the case of water
power.
"Your farmers and ranchmen
here ought to take stock in such
an enterprise and work it out in
grading, hauling poles, and ma
%terial, for the construction of the
line. All such a proposition
needs is for SOME one to take hold
of it and push it forward. You
would be surprised to @ how
people take hold of what they
believe is going to be successful.
Electric lines are about the
best paying enterprise can
put his money in now. Out on
the coast, for example, they are
paralleling the great trunk rail
roads every where, and taking all
the local passenger traffic from
them. OF course you need a
trunk line, if you can get one,
We cannot do without the steam
road when it comes to long dis
lance travel; but when it comes to
local travel you will see that the
electric line will be the one that
will get the-trade.
Besides, l can see that you are
going to have a large city here.
AS soon as these irrigating canals
are built and the country settled
up and the hot springs property
built up and advertised, you will
need electric roads. You will
want to reach out to Encamp,
ment, Battle, Rambler, Dillon
Gold Hill and all these outlying
points, and an electric line will
bring them very neal. You ar,

NOT WHAT HE WANTED
Wanted to Be Policeman, But Arrest

Stewart for a posi- tion on the police force, and was very persistent in his opportunities for the place. Friday afternoon, he was ar- rested on a charge of forgery. Hop son had signed his uncle's name to check on the Cleveland County bank, at Kingsland, and was endeay- bring to get it cashed when arrested. When arraigned in police court Sat- urday morning, he did not deny sign ing the check, but stated that he had his uncle's permission to do so. His uncle's name is F. B. Hopson, a well known resident of the town of Kings Hand. Hopson's case went over in order to give the young man time to communicate with his relatives.

PROUD OF THEIR PASTOR.
First Church of Texarkana Glad of
 Return of Rev. Thomas.

The First Church Bulletin of Tex arkana says:
 First church is to be congratulated on the return of Brother Thomas as pastor for another year. He has built the church and the congrega- tion. Three years ago he came to Texarkana without a member and without dollar in a building fund. Now the present building and it's great congregation of about three hun dred and fifty members stand as a monument to his untiring energy and his we'll guided endeavor and his un. shaken devotion.
 Brother Thomas occupies a unique position, in that he is the only pastor this congregation has ever known. He has no predecessor. The church It. self is rather unique in that its his- tory is not the history of evolution, but Minerva-like it sprang forth full grown. This Sunday begins his fourth and last year as pastor of First church. May it be at once the most pleasant and the most success full. Here's to him and his family and may they live long and prosper.

Reval, Esthonia, Dec. 24.-The in- surrection in the Baltic provinces has now been extended to Esthona, where, in accordance with resolutions passed at a convention held at Dorpat, Ll- vonia, the population is driving out the Russians and electing new local administrators.
 The insurgents last night attacked a train bearing detachment of ru- ral guards near Taps, in this province, but they were driven off and the train reached Reval in safety.
 Immediately after this o:urence the railroad employees and other workneen here voted to join the Par.Russian strike. Today everything is closed down.

When B. P. Stone, city editor of the Daily Graphic, was summoned by Chief of Police A. J. Stewart into police station Friday evening at : o'clock, he met trouble of rather novel variety in police circles. And he was wholly unprepared for it.
 Immediately after his arrival, As sistant Chief of Police J. s. Perdue and City Detective Ed Cheek at once took charge of him and ushercd him into the private office of Chief Stew art, who was evidently awaiting him. Mr. Stewart explained the situation in the following words:
 "Mr. Stone, the police department of Pine Bluff, in recognition of the extreme cordiality wh ch has existed between yourself and the force since your advent into the city, and for the purpose of expressing it's present good will toward you wishes to pre- sent you with a slight token of it's feelings, and has chosen me to beg of you to accept this cane as the material expression of that good will. Rest assured that the value of this present is by no means commensurate with the good will with which it is bestowed
 The recipient of the handsome Christmas present replied rather inco- herently, and was responded to by Messrs. Perdue and Cheek, who voic- ed the sentiments of their chief The surprise and incident embarrassment of the recipient were then drowned in champagne, in which the party in- dulged in fraternal toast.
 The gift is handsome one-?ne of the finest canes ever presented to Pine Bluff citizen. It Is pure ma hogany, with solid gold head, and the recipients initials are engraved on it.

SUCCESS OF BIG STRIKE.
Hangs in Balance and Proletar!aa
 Marshaling Its Forces.

St. Petersburg, Dec. 24.-It is If ficult to judge whether the general po- litical strike can be ranked as a suc- cess or failure. The authorities are bewildered by the strength of the strikers, and the strike has reached formidable proportions in St. Peters burg, where, according to the officials, more than a third of the workmen obeyed the order of the workmen's council. The strike leaders are confi- dently asserting that the others will be brought into line immediately. The government, however, has succeeded in keeping railroad traffic out of St. Pc. tersburg moving with reasonable reg ulari1y.
 The scanty dispatches received from the interior do not indicate whether the strike order is meeting with general response, which will be nec- essary to prevent it flashing in the pan like the November strike.
 The government while entering on a vigorous offensive campaign against the revolutionary leaders and making arrests by the wholesale, maintains an air of calm confidence. thas IS sued reassuring communication de- claring that all necessary measures have been taken to prevent disorders.
 The proletariat organizations are marshaling all their forces. The prevailing opinion is that with the limited funds at the disposition of the unions the strike must spready rapi9- ly and enter a new and more violent phase or the game will be lost by the revolutionists.
 General December" and General Hunger" are powerful allies OF the side of the emperor at the present time. just as they were in the fight against Napoleon, and it is thought that the leaders will not be able to
