GIT A MOVE ON
PEOPLE OF WYOMING TOWN
CROSS RIVER TO RAILROAD.
Didn't Take Them Long 10 Decide
Which Was Side Of Horn
Wanted.


Worland, Wyo.. April 1i.-When
the railroad would not come to Wor-
land, Worland went TO the railroad.
Picking itself up. bag. baggage. hous-
cs, stores saloons and citizens, the
entire town moved across the Big
Horn river on the ice. Two weeks
ago the town was on the western
side of the Big Horn, but today II
has settled down In its new home on
the eastern bank. And the railroad
Is almost here.
Worland is one of the old towns
OF the Big Horn Basin. For years II
has awaited the coming of railroad,
and when 1. was announced that the
Burlington would construct line
through Worland there was JOY and
Notification. Then came a reaction.
The Burlington said II was too cost
IL to bridge the Big Horn river, and
that the railroad would pass by on
the east side. The dreams of the "fu-
ture metropolis faded and instead
of having a railroad to build II into
a city Worland saw another city on
the opposite side of the river which
would have the coveted road.
A mass meeting was held. A com
mittee called on the Burlington man
ayers. but the company could not be
induced to change the plans and
bridge the river.
cts too bad we amt on the other
side of the river" said every man to
his neighbor.
Worland was in the dumps" for
three weeks. Then one day down at
the Bobcat saloon. when one promi-
nent citizen was condoling with an
other over a glass of 'pizen,' and the
first one breathed the now familiar
complaint. Its too bad we amt on
the other side of the river" the sec
ond citizen blurted out:
"well, why don't we move over
there them"
Then they looked at each other
with wide open mouths. and put the
glasses back on the bar. The solu-
ton was found. They would move
across the river and wait for the
coming of the railroad.
Dozens of horses were brought In
from the neighboring ranches. Great
tree trunks to act as rollers were got
in the mountains. Cables and ropes
we're prepared. Foremen for the diff
ferent gangs were appointed and the
entire population of the town was d.
vided among them. The actual work
of moving the town went through, or
across. with rush. Saloons were
moved without a moments stoppage
of business. In fact. II anything, bus
mess was little better than usual,
due to the cold weather. II man s
house was on rollers when night
came he slept in his own bedas usual.
The bank did not close for the occa-
sion, although there was little bank
ing business transacted that week.
The postoffice made its journey safe
ly and the daily stage carried the
mails without delay. In less than one
week the entire town had moved,and
business was running as usual on the
east side of the Big Horn.

BY President Roosevelt in Ad.
dress This Afternoon.
Occasion Was Laying Of Corner Stone
Of New building for House Of
Representatives.
HEARD BY IMMENSE GATHERING

Washington. April 1.-THE cor
ner stone of the new three million
dollar Office building for the house OF
representatives, which will occupy
the entire city square just southeast
OF the capitol, was laid this after
noon in the presence of the president,
the cabinet, the supreme court, men,
bers of the house and senate, many
ments and a great concourse OF clti-
zens. Grand Master Brown, OF the
district lodge OF Masons, struck the
stone three times with the marble
gavel used by George Washington
and pronounced II well and truly
laid. Addresses were made by Pres
ldent Roosevelt. Speaker Cannon.
Representatives Hepburn. OF Iowa;
Henderson. OF Tennessee and others.
In his address President Roose-
welt paid his respects in his usual
vigorous manner TO the muck-rate
operators, as he terms them--the
writer's In the press and the maya
zines who have taken such pleasure
In recent days to indulge their ca
pacities for mud-slinglng.
He says, in part:
In Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress
you may recall the description of the
Man with the Muck-rake. the man
who could look no ways but down
ward. with the muck-rake in his
hand; who was offered a celestial
crown for his muck-rake. but who
would neither look up nor regard
the crown he was offered. but con-
tinued to rake to himself the filth
of the floor. .......
In Pilgrims Progress the Man
with the Muck-rake Is set forth as
the example of him whose vision is
liked on carnal instead OF on spirit
ual things. Yet he also typIfies the
man who In this life consistently re-
fuses TO see anght that is lofty. and
fixes his eyes with solemn intentness
only on that which rs vile and de-
basing. Now, II Is very necessary that
we should not finch from seeing
what Is vile and debasing. There is
Nth on the floor. and II must be
scraped up with the muck-rake: and
there are times and places where this
service Is the most needed of ali the
services that can be performed. But
the man who never does anything
else. who never thinks or speaks or
writes, save of his feats with the
muck-rake. speedily becomes. not

There are. in the body polite. eco

evils. and there is urgent necessity

There should be relentless exposure

MUNDY SHOWS.
Among Other Attractions Is
The Electric Light
Plant.
MAKE OWN LIGHT,
Some OF the Features OF the Society
Circus That Evoke Interest.

The circus grounds where the great
Mundy shows are holding their carnival
under the auspices of the Camp Lawtop
boys were crowded last night, and
King Carnival reigued supreme. The
attractions were all well patronized,
especially was this true of the Society
Circus, Fairyland and the Frisco Fire
and Earthquake. The performance in
the society circus is given in one ring
and r. one act is given ut II time the
audience don't have to strain their eyes
looking up and down the ampitheater.
Some of the acts to be seen in the society
circus are the Bailey Bros. in feats of
strength on the Roman rings, Eddie
Martyne, the undisputed king of the
I bounding wire, who does seemingly i'm
possible feats on slender silver thread.
Hindoo Sam from far East India keeps
the audience in qHandary. Jerry
Alton balances on his head on trapeze
in mii-air with perfect equilibrium.
! ONeill and Bernardo the two funny
clowns, cause abundance of laughter with
their antics. j. b. Kelley known as
the 'whirlwind tumbler, who leaps from
a high platform to the ground without
apparent hurt, and with fine precision,
winding up his act with some cart
wheels that always provoke loud ap-
plause. The Sterings are another big
feature at the society circus, having a
fine acrobatic act which is clean and
very popular with the crowds that visit
the show.
Amoug the features mt the carnival
| grounds, yet one which is not advertised,
| but which nevertheless is attracting no
little attention, ia the lighting plant
which provides the electricity for the
1000 incandescent lights used in illuml-
mating the grounds. The power is
created 10y two large dynamos. each
| built on IA heavy wagon and weighing
several tons each These plants are
going constantly while the grounds are

regular staff Of electricians who have
nothing else to do but look after these
machines. Az an example of how a
show is able to provide itself with light
and power the machines are quite Il
novelty and deserve the attention they
attract.
The free attractions are of an excep-
tionally high merit and have set the
town in IA whirl Of conversation. The
acts Of the Manolo family in feats of
strength and acrobatics, and Sheperd
Owen leaping the fiery chasm and
Davolo looping the loop are attractive
| features.

FORMER MANIT0W0C RESI-
DENT GIVEN NICE WRITE
UP IN MICHIGAN PAPER

The Evening News. daily news
paper published at Sault Ste. Marie
Mich, gives an extended write-up of the
progressive village of DeTour. Mich,
in lis issue of Friday, July Goth. In the
article referred to, Mr.. William d,
Hitchcock, former resident of Manito-
voc county who has prospered in
Northern Michigan. is given extended
mention. Concerning Mr.. Hitchcock,
The Evening News, in the article in
question, says:
| But DeTour is notable for other rea
sons than those that make 1t a desirable
resort for summer tourists.
1t is surrounded by country rich in
timber, limestone and agricultural pos
sibilities. Apples, Strawberries and
other small fruits, sweet corn and other
vegetables that mature in no other part
of the upper peninsula of Michigan can
| Oe grown here. In fact, DeTour has al
ready become famous as the straw berry
producing center of this section of the
country. The pioneer and largest pro-
! ducer of this luscious fruit in the north
is w. D. Hitchcock, whose enthusiasm
regarding the upper peninsula berry is
positively inspiring and whose faith in
DeTour and its prospects is illimitable.
Mr.. Hitchcock is the largest land holder
in DeTour and Drummond Island and
is interested in almost every industry in
! the village He alone has done more to
advertise DeTour than all its other citl-
zens together and he is always IN ardent
supporter of any project intended to
promote the best interests of the town.
Although he is we'll along in years, Mr..
Hitchcock is still a remarkably active
man. Mr.. Hitchcock and his family re-
side in beautiful home on one of the
highest points of land in the village and,
although he is here and away at fre-
quent intervals, no man is more actively
interested in the town than he. He is
the chief protector Of the 500 DeTour
railroad and, IL that road is ever built it
will be because of the work he has done
to bring it about. Although he is ma
turally reticent concerning the details
of the project he never hesitates to de-
clare that the road will be built and
that before the lapse of very long per-
iod of time 1t is reasonable inference
that Mr.. Hitchcock knows more about
the road and its prospects than he is now
in a position to reveal and those who
know him best rest confident in the
assurance that the good news will be
ready to give to the public at no very
distant date"
Mr.. Hitchcock's old dtime Manitowoc
county friends will be much pleased to
hear of his success.

congratulate President VIM. Rahr and
Secretary Chas f. Fechter of the county
industrial association upon their tire
less, painstaking efforts in the matter of

finest structures of its kind in the state.

capacity for several thousands. A fine
new Office building, with two compart'

WINS RHODES SCHOLARSHIP

Ripon, Wis, July 26.-Elton Morgan
of Manitowoc has been awarded one of
the Rhodes scholarships offered by Ripon
college to the student in each accredited
high school of Wisconsin for the best
all around marking to be attained each
year. This scholarship is considered
even more of an honor to the recipient
than the scholarship which the college
formerly awarded. The old scholarship
was awarded on the basis of scholarship
alone, the student securing the highest
mark in his class being given the free
tuition. The Rhodes idea, however
appealed so strongly to the faculty that
year. By this system, the student win
ming the scholarship must not only be
decided by the teachers to have the best
standing in the class work, but the
teachers must also determine that the
winning student has exceeded his fellows
in showing the qualities of leadership
Wnlcn promise TO make II young student
a shining light in the future The
students who are associated with the
candidate for the honor also have vote
in the matter, as they must select the
students whom they consider to be the
most sympathetic, aud wiling to help
the less fortunate In addition they
must decide on IA scholarship candidate
who shows an interest in outdoor sports,
and athletics, or ability in general
athletics. This brings to the front the
students who show qualities of leader
ship, scholarship, sympathy and physic-
al well.being. The system has proved n
great success at Ripon college.
