Denver Excursion.

The Santa FEES Denver excursion
was INDUCED in to a greater extent
than ever before. No one had the
tondest hope or suspicion that Ioi
tickets would be sold at this station
on that occasion. But such was the
case. This would make it appear
that Holly paid the expense of con-
Quoting it, the portion contributed
by other towns being the profit to
the Santa Fe company. 1t isn't like
ly that there is any great difference
between these figures and the facts.
OF course they can't do this every
day.
Two more of these excursions will
be run during the summer. One :will
likely be to Green Mountain Falls
and the other to some other point
where you will want to go.

LIBERALS MAKE
SERIOUS ERROR.
New Government of Great Britain
Afraid to Face the Labor
Problem.

London, March 29--What is considered
TO be a tactical mistake on the part of
the government in coming into serious
conflict not only with the labor party
but with a large majority of it's liberal
supporters over the introduction of the
trades disputes bill in the house of com
mons yesterday - avOwedly due to diff
fef ences of opinion among the ministers
themselves, a strong minority being
against a complete concession to labor
views, and the compromise adopted ap-
parenty pleaseS nobody. The incident is
the subject of unanimous and keen re-
greet on the part Of the liberal newspapers
this morning, because, they say. it has
already become known that the govern
ment Will yield by leaving the question
to the decision Of the house and that the
result of this will be great loss of pres
tige to the government Besides the
PAPERS say, it is almost certain to meet
with opposition in the house of lords
which will send the bill back TO the
house of commons ShOrn of the clause
granting immunity to trades unions and
possibly of other important features
which probably would have been accept
ed had the government boldly faced the
problem. The house of lords, the news
papers declare, will now point to the
Governments own course as justifica ton
for its rejecting the immunity clause
The uniOnist organs naturally are jubi-
liant. pointing out that this action is in
fUIfillment of their predictions of the
danger of the governments unwieldy ma
iCrity and heTalding 1t as the beginning
of the disintegratiOn of the liberal bat
\ lions.

after the manifesto of Oct. 80, seeding

re garded the promises of the manifesto
as sufficient for the present Now, how

course of an interview today he severely

IRRIGATION DAM
IS WASHED AWAY
North Platte River Overlooking and
Stoekmen and Ranchmen
Losing Heavily.

Casper. Wyo.. March 2S.-The North
Platte river has been rising at an alarm
ing rate during the past forty-eight
hours, due to the rapid melting of the
SHOWS of the previous week The great
diversion dam at AIcova, erected by the
reclamation service as temporary
structure to divert the waters of the
river while the Pathfinder dam is being
built, has been washed away, and that
its loss will seriously interrupt the COM
pletiOn of the government enterprise.
Although the heavy rains of the last
few days had caused much apprehension
among residents of this part of Wyom-
ing, none was prepared for the over
throw OF such piece of engineering
the huge dam. When the waters swept
through the immense masonry many
workmen barely escaped with their lives.
Bridge Also Gone.
The dam had been built at d cost of
nearly 500 00O- The steel bridge built by
the government six miles below the dam
at Pathfinder was also carried way. Small
cabins, barns and property of all de-
scriptions are floating down on the
swollen stream, which is spreading over
the lowlands and causing great loss to
Stockmen and ranchmen.
Miles upon miles of the fowlands are
flooded, and it is feared much stock has
been drowned.
A report from Lander SAYS that 1900
sheep belonging to Charles Souther
which were shut in large shed were
drowned and swept away.
