The STATE
is KNOWN
FAME OF WYOMING SPREADING
THROUGHOUT EAST BY REA-
SON OF GOOD coNGREssMEN.
Clark PeIton, a Former Resident of
Laramie, Says More People in
Ohio Are Talking of Wyoming
Than Any Other State in West and
Comment Generally Favorable.

Clark Pelton, for many years a prom
inent citizen and progressive business
man of this community, but who has
been engaged in farming e Collins,
Ohio, for the past year, is shaking
hands with his host of friends in Lar
annie today. Mr.. Pelton has been up
the Big Laramie river for a few days
buying stock to be shipped to his farm
for feeding purposes. He is delighted
with his new vocation and while he
has a home-like feeling for The Gem
City he and his estimable family are
well pleased with their Ohio home.
Mr.. Pelton says that more is heard
of Wyoming in the east today than of
any other state in the union and the
comment is all very favorable. Colo
RADIO is also frequently spoken of but
the comment is not of a favorable ma
ture as a rule. Mr.. Pelton is of the
opinion that the good impression of
Wyoming in the east is largely due to
our splendid congressional delegation.
He says that Senator Warren and Con-
gresham Mondell are better known
and held in higher regard in his section
than any other representatives in the
national congress not even excepting
Ohio's own representatives. Their
splendid efforts in behalf of the state
as we'll as those of Senator Clark, Mr..
Pelton thinks, is bound to result in
much good for our young common
wealth.
Mrs. Pelton and the children are
we'll and happy and send greeting to
all their Laramie friends.

return to the order to show cause why
he should not be restrained from sus-
pending the New York Lies right to

denying jurisdiction of the federal

his prospective action. He charges
President Mccall with appropriating

entries to conceal ubiquitous transac-
TONS" putting his relatives on the pay
rolls and increasing his own salary

parties, and it is one of the biggest
mines in Wyoming, employing between
300 and $50 men. This is the second
disaster at this mine within four
years, an explosion February 20, 1901,
causing the death of thirty-two miners.
Last nights explosion shook the
ground like an earthquake, and i'm
mediately following the sound great
sheets of flames leaped from the
mouth of the shaft. Then all became
darkness and huge volumes of smoke
began to emerge from the shaft. The
explosion woke every inhabitant of
Diamondville and Kemmerer, all of
whom hurried to the scene
All night long frantic parties worked
about the mine, and up to IL O'Clock
this morning twenty,one badly burned
bodies have been recovered. Few of
them are recognizable.
Diamondville has a population Of
/, 200. 1t is sixty miles overland from
Evanston and twice as far by rail. Aid
was sent from Rock Springs, a Union
Pacific division point.

ton to the work of reconstruction,
hence the man in the center of the
stage in the theater of this systems
wonderful activities is the suparinten-
dent of construction. Railroad men
are asking the question. "Who is this
man to be?" Not with rh~H-~ ~"Nt-
Ience, but in a subdued tone the answer,
from some sources, comes, Horace G..
Burt. Since his retirement from the
presidency of the Union Pacific MI.
Burt has done nothing but skirt the
globe. His future, since returning to
Omaha, has been a matter of great in
terest to railroad men. An intimate
friend of Mr.. Burt's recently said Mr..
Burt himself did not know what he was
going to do. The mastery work of re-
building the Union Pacific is credited
up to Horace G. Burt. AS an engineer
and construction man he is regarded
as peerless. 1t is believed Hartman
wants him and will get him if possible.
The determination of Hartman to
enter new territory in the northwest
can only mean, in the judgment Of rail
road men, accumulation of the Harri-
man-Hill rivalry, for Hartman must
inevitably get into Hills province. The
task is viewed as one of tremendous
import, requiring great nerve, as it
must involve the most bitter warfare
between these two great railroad kings.
Railroad authorities assume that Har.
riman will not simply tap the Hill
fields, but once over the threshold, will
penetrate far into the interior. Hhl,
1t is observed, recognizes this fact with
clearer perception than any one else
and therefore is preparing to marshal
his forces in more formidable array
than has yet been necessary, in order
to combat the Entertainments of his
aggressive adversary.
One of the highest executive officers
of that system said a few days ago in
Omaha:
q do not believe Mr.. Burt could be
induced to accept any offer Mr.. Har-
riman could make"

The building committee Of the First
Baptist church adjourned late yester.
day afternoon, after a meeting of con.
siderable Importance to the congrega-
ton, at which Rev. R. A. Lansdell, the
pushing and popular young pastor, was
present, and as a result active opera
tons have begun for the rebuilding of
the church at the corner of Fourth and
Grand avenu The committee was di-
rected to order the brick for the build
ing from the Wyoming Pressed Brick
company of this city, which will be de-
livered on the site as fast as they are
needed, the company having enough
brick on hand to keep the building
committee supplied for some time to
come.
At the meeting of the committee the
plans for a new church drawn by Mr..
II. C. Scofield of this city were accept
ed and bids for the foundation and ex-
cavations will be awarded as oon as
the committee can get to the work.
The plans provide for a modern
church, to cost about $4,000, and one
which will meet, when completed, all
the requirements of the congregation
for some time to ome 1t will occupy
the site of the old church, but will be
little in exterior appearance similar to
that building, the lines being modern
and the style as up to date as can be,
the architect being on the ground and
having the needs of the community be.
fore him.
Some time ago the old building was
sold to w. H. Beaudoin, with the I'M
derstanding that it should be torn
down or removed by the time the
building committee was ready to begin
operations. Mr.. Beaudoin has the
building down and the lumber CLASH
fed and ready to be removed from the
site. 1t will be out of the way of the
builders.
Only part of the present foundation
walls will be available for the new
building, but all of the stone used il
the present walls can be used in the
new, saving a considerable sum il
that direction.
Mr.. Lansdell stated this morning
that while the committee had funds
enough on hand to make an excellen
start. there would be no lack of inter
est in this direction. More money will
be raised as fast as it is demanded b!

Will Gridiron the West.

A dispatch from Omaha says that E.
H. Hartman will gridiron the west
with railroads, having $500, 10000 at
his disposal for the purpose, says the
Denver Times.
The confirmation of numerous rum
ors regarding the Union Pacific build
ing plans, coming from headquarters,
demonstrates that the Union Pacific
proposes to freeze" to its territory in
the west. The lines contemplated are:
New line from near North Platte,
Neb., to Medicine Bow, Wyo. This is
to relieve the Wyoming division.
Rawlins, Wyo., to Grand Encamp-
ment, Wyo.
Laramie, Wyo., to Hahn's peak and
Baggs, Colo, thence to Grand Encamp-
Rawlins to Lander, Wyo.
st. Anthony, Ida, to Yellowstone
park.
Point on the Denver Cheyenne line
to Cheyenne to avoid Athol hill.
Double tracking Wyoming division,
There are several short lines and cut
offs also contemplated.
These moves by the Union Pacific
are aimed directly at the proposed ex
tension of the Burlington to Salt Lake
through Wyoming and at the Milwau
KEGS two proposed lines, one of which
is direct to Seattle and the other tc
Rapid City, S. D., and thence south and
around by Yellowstone park probably
to Salt Lake.
The Union Pacifc's line to Grand
Encampment and down into Colorado
is to head off two lines now building tc

posed to be backed by the Burlington

merer, at midnight last night, twenty
one miners were instantly killed and
thirty-three others are buried. 1t is
believed that not one of the entombed
miners can be rescued. 1t is impos-
sible to ascertain the exact reason for
the disaster, although it is attributed
to an explosion of gas. Desperate eff
forts are being made to reach the sur
vivors, although there is little hope
for their lives. The most intense ex-
element prevails in the camp n at

Many of the dead and buried miners
are Americans. Nearly every resident
of Kemmerer is at the mine, fighting
gas and smoke, in an effort to rescue
the unfortunate.
The explosion is thought to have
been caused by what is known as a
windy shot, the noise of the explosion
being terrific and heard for miles. The
mine is so badly wrecked that rescu-
ers can make but little Roadway.
