CONDITIONS
ARE IDEAL
MR.. T. H. SIMPSON FOUND MOTH
ING BUT GOOD CHEER
IN EASTERN STATES.
Farmers and Factories Are Crowded
With Lucrative Business and the
Only Contention Is To Find suf-
fioient Labor to Carry on Opera
tions-A Delightful Trip.

Mr.. T. H. Simpson, president of the
Laramie Grocery company, who, in
company with his wife and children
n Miss WEIGH, spent a couple of
months in New England, reports bust
nes affairs there in splendid condition.
Everywhere he went, n he visited
nearly every port and watering place
along the seaboard as well as many of
the interior cities, he found the same
good feeling prevailing. Crops were
good, business rushing and an opti-
mistic view Of the future vas held by
all business men.
Visits Large Wooden Mill.
At Lawrence, Mass, near Boston,
he visited the largest wooden factory
in the world and the hustle there was
immense. The manager informed Mr..
Simpson that business was never bet
ter and the only contention they had
was hat of securing sufficient labor.
He remarked that if it were possible
to secure them that he would put a
hundred more men to work on that
very day.
Wyoming Woods Among the Best.
Mr.. Simpson made inquiry regarding
the estimation held of Wyoming woods
and was informed that they were
ranked among the very best, in fact
some of the finest woods the factory re-
ceived came from this state. The fac
tory manager also informed Mr.. Simp-
son that in his judgment there was no
occasion to look for a decline in price,
and as proof of this pointed to the vast
stores being gathered by the concern.
Laramie Boy In Thriving Business.
While in Bosten Mr.. Simpson had
the pleasure of meeting Mr.. Clarence
Mckenzie, a nephew of John McKen-
zie of this city, who is engaged in the
engraving business. He owns a fine
plant, employs a score or more men
and is turning out a grade of work
that cannot be surpassed anywhere.
The Cod Wa Landed All Right.
Mr.. Simpson was asked regarding
that Goldfish he declared he would land
or stay until he did, and insists that
he has a photograph of the fish to
prove that he kept his word. 1t was of
enormous size and would almost scare
a trout fisherman to death.
Derived a World of Benefit.
The Simpson party derived great
benefit from their outing and enjoyed
every minute of their stay. They visit.
ed almost every summer resort and
beach along the coast and spent con.
| siderable time in the more important
cities of the New England states and
the east. 1t was particularly enjoyable
to the children to go into the orchards
and pick the ripe fruit from the trees
and was a real pleasure to the older
folks to watch their pleasure.

Pacific secret service, says the Omaha
Bee. johnson has waived all requisi-
ton papers and will return at once
with the company's officers and says
he will restore all the money.
When Johnson first left Blackfoot
it was not known for some time he had
gone or that his accounts were short.
When these facts were discovered Mr..
Canada wired around the country and
had Johnson taken into custody just
before his train left Chicago. Johnson
gave most of the money he took to his
wife and sent her on a ranch while he
took his ~1O-year- old boy and started
east. Accompanied by the boy it was
an easy matter to locate him.

Wild Ideas About Speed.

Among the most scared of the mem
bers of the crew of the wrecked Los
Angeles Limited train at Red Buttes
Tuesday morning were the walters in
the dining car, that car having been
derailed and considerably jammed up.
One of the walters, when asked how
fast the train was running, in all Sc
riousness declared his belief that it
was going not a minute slower than
125 miles an hour. "That is the speed
we travelled when the car left the
track" he said. I'VE stopped sudden
ly, in the forward end of the car, with
a jolt that indicated at least two miles
a minute"

he came from Oakland Just after the
earthquake of April IS. Milne says he

Earthquake Drove Him East.

ness, but he appeared an intelligent

said he had been driven east by the
calamity at Oakland and the impossi-

good workman. The Oakland newspa-
