FLoCKMASTERS MAKE PROTEST
Wyoming and Utah Men Say Rail-
road Service is Worst in
Years.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec. 1A-(Speclal y
The Wyoming and National Wool Growers
associations, with headquarters in Chey-
enne, have forwarded the following letter to
the Wyoming and other western delegations
In congress:
In behalf Of the members Of the Wyoming
and National Wool Growers association
west we wish to call your attention Ia
the present unsatisfactory railroad service
throughout the entire country. The short
age OF cars has for several weeks not only
delayed shipments, but IN many cases has
aC "llly prevented the shipment OF sheen
to r1et and lambs to the feed lots with a
Resultant loss to owners. The shortage OF
stock cars Is due to two causes viz:
First-To the unprecedented heavy trahic
and the use OF cars In handling transcon-
second-To the diversion OF coal cars to
the beet and sugar trade, which necessi-
tates the diversion OF stock cars TO the
The railroads take care Of transconti-
mental trade first, the beet sugar traffic sec
ond and the coal trade third, leaving the
stockmen to take what is left In the way
Of cars, and during the present season there
have been few. If any cars, left.
In cases where shippers of sheep have
obtained cars, after waiting weeks and
months for same, they have been given the
poorest runs to market IN the history of the
industrv The extension Of tbe tv1er ".
eight-hour Law 10 thirty-six has as a rule
worked a hardship upon the shipper instead

roads eight hours more Ia which to tie up
shipments on sidetracks and at division
terminals The run from any given point

The sheepmen Of the west will favor the

How much better It is thus to bring
about healthy action In the bowels
of growing children by natural means,
than to feed them with improper food,
requiring some kind of cathartic at
intervals to overcome constipation.
Grape-Nuts gives energy to the en-
tire nervous system including the
nerves that cause the natural con-
traction and relaxation of the bowel
muscles, that propel the food mass

the march was resumed. The Gre

had built small craft, but it was
soon wrecked. The day after Strain
took three men to push their way
rapidly down the river and secure aid
for the rest of the party. leaving Mr..
Truxton in command Avery. a vol

him.

Some buzzards, turkey and a pee

Lombard, Parks and Johnson left
the camp and hid. In their terrible
sufferings they had matured plan to
hide until Holmes died. exhume the
body and subsist upon the flesh until
they reached the Atlantic coast. On
the thirty-eighth day Holmes breathed
his last and his emaciated body, with
his musket alongside. was laid to rest

Decided to Go Back.
Lieutenant Strain was now twenty
one days gone. and it was evident that
the sixteen survivors would not live
for his return. They believed he was
dead and council of the officers de-
cided to countermarch and try to re-
gain Caledonia bay. 1t cost a severe
struggle to reach this conclusion, but
it seemed the only hope. Truxton,
seated by Holmes grave, sadly penned
letter of explanation to Strain,
should the latter ever regain the
place, and in 1t he begged him to push
on after the party. Then Parks was
missing and on March 6 start was
made on the march to Caledonia bay,
the former being abandoned to his
fate. Both Grenadians were very Ill.

in that position by Lieutenant Strain.
The following day Lombard asked to
be left behind. as 1t was clear he could
go no farther. They shared their
remnants of food with him and left
him to his fate. What this may have
been was never discovered At his
earnest request his boatswain's whis-
