Letter to e. A. Pease,
RedaCood Falls, MINI.


DEAR SIR: Messrs. Leachman &
Edelin,, Grafton, w. Va, had been
selling a paint, which they thot we'll
of; and this had occurred:
They had sold customer Is gal
Ions of it to paint his house. A
few years later they sold the same
man Devoe lead-and-zinc, the same
number Of gallons to paint the same
house. He had 7 gallons left.
The point of the tale is: II gallons
Devoe paints an 18-gallon house.
Of course, that isn't all.
Why does II gallons Devoe go as
far as 18 gallons of other paint?
Because it is all paint, all true, no
sham, and full measure.
But that isn't all. Devoe lasts
longer. No, no; you haven't got to
wait ten years to find that out. Ten
thousand people know it. We've
got their names. Our agents know
them; they think heap of Devoe.
There's no difficulty in showing your
townspeople what to expect of
Devoe. $40 will paint SIS house;
and the paint'll last twice as long.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvOE & Co.,
New York and Chicago.

Scores of wagons are being loaded
these days at the various wholesale
houses, preparatory to starting on
their long trip to the headwaters
of the Missouri, where the gold
mines are located. Large trains will
soon start, and much activity pre-
walls among those who furnish the
principal articles necessary for so
long a trip over the unsettled prair-
les between here and the mountains.
Our business men are being furn-
ished with palpable evidence of what
we have SO long maintained that
ST. Paul is the natural, and will soon
be the chief out-ftting point and
emporium of emigration and COM
merce between the Mississippi valley
and Montana. The appearance of
numerous freight wagons, most of
them new, on the streets, is a novel
and interesting incident and marks
the small beginning of mighty
trade, which is hereafter to flow
from st, Paul westward to the
Rocky Mountains. We met large
numbers of these prairie schooners
yesterday on the road to St. Cloud.
laden with every variety Of merchan-
disc. Every one Of these wagons,
whose wheels are to mark the future
route of commerce across the con-
tinent, is worth millions of dollars
to the future business prosperity of
St. Paul.
10 all appearances the present ex-
petition to Montana under Capt.
Fisk is going to be a splendid sue
cess. Forty emigrants arrived last
evening to go by this route, Our
wagon makers are pushed beyond
their resources in manufacturing
and repairing wagons for the voy-
age across the plains. The people
of Minnesota are greatly indebted
to Capt. Fisk and his coadjutors for
results SO full of promise which have
been brought about by their I'M
firing zeal.
By the collision of the barges
which the Mollie Mohler was towing
down the river yesterday with the
unfinished railroad piers Of the city,
5000 bushels Of wheat were sent to
the bottom and destroyed. One
deck hand lost his life.
In few days the famous Brack-
ett's battalion will have passed into
history, Major Bracket has arrived
overland from Sioux City. Com
panies A and D have already been
mustered out. Company C is due
today on the Hawkeye State. This
was Major Brackets original COM
pany. 1t was later commanded by
Capt. Shelley. It's present officers
are Capt. Mortimer Medley and First
Lieut., Charles H. Osgood, both we'll
known in St. Paul.
Major Bracket says that forty
one steamboats, loaded with immi-
grants for Montana had passed
Sioux City upward bound, before he
left this spring. The Favorite had
on board Major Cullen, Frank Good
rich and other St. Paulites, bound
for the gold mines. The excitement
in that region about the locating of
several hundred Sioux Indian muir
derers at the mouth of the Niobrara
river is intense.

by those who advocated a division of

fee of the superintendent of public in

Under the system now in vogue,
there is no a why a m can
not perform the work of state superin-
tendent of public instru etlon just as
well as a man. To nominate one of
the bright, clever women for the place
would certainly be n handsome and
proper recognition on the part Of the
republican state convention. 1t would
be strictly In keeping with the chival-
'rous nature of our western men, who
are ever looking for an opportunity to
pay tribute to the wisdom n virtue
of the gentler sex.
The suggestion made by the Leader
is worthy of serious consideration and
as God helps those who help them
selves, the attention of the ladies of
Wyoming is directed to the matter.

GETTING CLOSER TOGETHER.

Last night a notable dinner was Civ
en- in the city of Cheyenne. The
guests of honor were officials Of the
Colorado and Southern railroad and
representative citizens from Sheridan,
Buffalo and Douglas, Wyo. The object
of the dinner was to discuss the eX.
tension of the Colorado and Southern
In wyoming and to draw the railroad
people more closely TO the citizens OF
the state. II is the purpose of the com
pany to build an extension of the Chey-
nne and Northern on to Buffalo and
Sheridan and thence into Montana. In
1909 1t expects to connect up the line
IL already has from Denver to Fort
Collins with Cheyenne, and by that
time 1t hopes to have a continuous line
from Denver to Billings. No one car
estimate the advantage such a line will
be to central and northern Wyoming.
1t will not only connect up Denver and
the entire Rocky mountain region to
the south with the interior of our state,
but II VIII bring our people closer to-
gether, commercially and socially.
By the time this line of the Colorado
and Southern is built, 1t is confidently
expected that the Burlington will have
completed it's line from northwestern
Wyoming down through the state and
into Denver, thus giving to our people
two lines clear through the state from
north to south.
With easy means Of communication
our people will mlngle together freely
and all sectional lines will be obliter
ated. Instead of ~patronizing Omaha
the people to the north will turn their
enti to the wholesale houses in
their W state and In Denver.
The dinner referred to was given un.
der the auspices of the Young Mems
Literary club of the capital city, an in.
~stitution that steps outside of purely
literary pursuits occasionally.

SAN FRANCISCO CALAMITY.

From reports thus far received it
has overwhelmed San Francisco is
without a parallel in human history.
Quantities have occurred wherein the
combined loss of life was greater, but
none has occurred wherein the com
bined loss of life n property was as
great AT Chicago the property loss was
over two hundred millions, but the loss
of life was comparatively small. Az
Galveston the loss OF life was great
and the property loss tremendous, but
at San Francisco there was more to
lose and Galveston's catastrophe was
small in comparison. Mount Pelee
caused a greater sacrifice of human
life, but the property loss was not com.
parable.
Appalling occurrences such as this
naturally turn the minds of men to
Pompeii and Herculaneum, but 1t is
not probable that both of those cities
combined contained anything like the
amount of valuable property San Fran,
cisco had on the 18th OF April. No
oue knows what the loss of either life
or property was in those cities.
All great calamities have their com.
pensations. Chicago was able to re-
build on a broader, sounder basis. Bal
timore is rising a magnificent, modern
city from her ashes, Seattle's fire was
her greatest blessing, and so San Fran.
cisco will rise. Fire traps have been
RACED and the accumulations of squalor
and filth of half a century have been
incinerated. Nothing but the ashes re-
main. With the vast sums the insur-
ance companies will pour into the
Golden Gate a modern city will be bet.

that just given the pride of the coast.

WILL TAKE REWARD
INTO THE COURTS.

Peter Warlaumont and John Nolan,
the Cheyenne policeman, have en-
ployed Judge H. V. S. Groesbeck of
Laramie and will contest the payment
of the 500 reward offered for the ar
rest of Henry Clay, the negro under
sentence of death at Laramie for the
killing of George Gerber, a Laramie
merchant a year ago, says the Chey-
enne Tribune.
Clay was first arrested by the police
here and later turned over to the coun-
ty authorities. While in the Jail Sheriff
Smalley discovered Clay was the muir
derer of Gerber and took him to Lara
ME. He was paid the 500 reward,
but under protest, and had to give a
bond in the sum of 5000 pending the
settlement of the case. Officers War
laumont and Nolan have decided to
contest the matter.

PLACE FOR A WOMAN.

Now that the legislature of Wyoming
has taken the duties involved in the
administration OF the public lands oil
the state from the superintendent oil
public trucuo and placed the mat
ter in the hands of a commissioner. it
might be a good idea to consider the
proposition oil electing a woman to the
position of the Wyoming schools. Hon
X. Z. Fuller has made such a distinct
success as commissioner of public
lands that the superiority of the pres
ent arrangement over the old system
is everywhere acknowledged and there
is little chance OF any future legislature
undolng the good work Of the last SEES
sion.
This being the case, 1t would seem
that the office of superintendent of
public instruction should be given 10
some This is an equal suffrage
state and the ladies are surely entitled
TO a representative on the state ticket
The further point might be made that
as the majority of the teachers of the
state are ladies, it would only be fair
that the head of the department of edu-
cation should be n of their sex. There
are numerous ladies throughout Wyo-
ming wen qualified to take the posi-
ton, some of whom have already made
highly successful county superintend-
ents. Sentiment and good sense both
lend approval to such action on the
part of the republican state convention
and the Leader is OF the opinion that
the plan will meet with the hearty IL
dorsement of the women's clubs OF the
state.-Cheyenne Leader.
The views expressed in the foregoing
will doubtless meet with the unquali-
fed approval of a great majority Of the
people of Woyming. The position was
he'll for several years by a woman but
it was urged that the land business was
of such a nature that a female could
not fill the place with the same degree
of satisfaction to the entire people as
a man, hence the change. Again, it
was found that the work in the office
was too great for one department and
it was divided, with the result that the
business of the land department has III
creased more than so per cent. Hon.
