O'Clock and spoken a CHEEKY word to

Sunday morning he arose late, and
while Mrs. Schmidt was preparing
breakfast Mr.. Rogers, as was his wont
went to the stable, in the rear of his
residence lot, to milk the cow. He had
performed this task and brought the
pail of milk to the fence separating
the yard from the COW yard and plac
ing it on the fence, on a shelf on pur
pose, turned again to the stable tc
attend to some other matter. He fel
upon reaching a shed and his daughter
found him there a moment or twt

came, but Mr.. Rogers had passed t
the great beyond, a busy life ende'
in the twinkling of an eye.

went cut almost in a flash.
A Pioneer Citizen.
Oscar Rogers was born in Ohio and
came to Laramie thrty-four years ago.
He was tw~enty-seven years of age
when he came here. making him 61
years of age last November. On
March 1, 1876, in the east, he married
Mary A. Richards, and to them were
born four children, Warren and Clar-
ence, sons, and Lille and Hazel,
daughters. Warren lives on the Bath
ranch, Clarence resides at Sheridan,
and Lille, now Mrs. Fortune Schmidt,
has been living with her father for
some time. Hazel died six years ago.
On the 10th of June, 1902, Mrs. Rogers
died and was buried here. The two
sons and the daughter will be present
at the funeral. So far it has been I'M.
possible to locate Mr.. Schmidt, who
is in Kansas. Lon Rogers, a brother
of the deceased, arrived from Ogden
at noon; a sister, Mrs. Martin, finds it
impossible to be present at the funeral.
Another brother is in Illinois, so far
not heard from.
Veteran Volunteer Fireman.
Mr.. Rogers was a member of Damon
lodge, Knights of Pythias, and Wash
ington camp, Patriotic Order of Sons
of America. He was elected a mem
Der of the city council from the First
ward at the election in November,
1902, taking his seat on the first Tues
day in January, 1903. His term will
expire with the present year. He was
a member of the volunteer fire depart
ment twelve or fourteen years ago,
belonging to hose company No. l,
which numbered many of the citizens
of the city at that time. He held nc
other office in the county or city, but
during his incumbency of the position
of councilman not an act of his, not a
word spoken, was for other than the
good of his constituents. He held posi-,
lions on SOluG VI Inc hOlS AAipO4 bdAe
committees of the council, and that
body, with the acting mayor, Mr.. Spi
Ger, and the city officials, will attend
the funeral in a body. Mr.. Rogers
was seldom absent from a meeting Of
the council n kept close watch Of
the doings of that body.
Filled Well His Part.
AS a citizen, as a contractor, as {
councilman, as a Pythian and as &
friends he could be depended upon a
all times, and his family will meri
the sympathy of the people of the cit!
without exception in their severe loss
Mr.. Rogers belonged to no church, Blu
he was a good man, wronging no on
and filling well his part in the worl
of the community. The funeral will
be under the direction of Damon lodge
and announcement of the details viii
be made tomorrow.

STAFF Correspondence.

Moorecroft, Wyo,, June THE
p assenger service on the North
western from Casper to Chadron is
very good, at the present time, the
trains being nearly always on the
schedule, which is a remarkably fast
one for a local line. 1t is the purpose
of the management to put on five pas
senger trains to accommodate the res
ervation rush. This will tax the ener-
gies of the company to an unusual de-
gree, but it has almost unlimited re
sources and will be able to meet any
demand. Passengers from Wyoming
points for either the north or south are
compelled to lay over all night at Craw-
ford, unless they go by the way of Sid
Iney or Denver. Hotel accommodations
there have always been poor. Even
the limited accommodations offered are
managed in such a manner that n is
surprised at the amount of business
performed. The hotel seems to be run
ming itself and mighty poorly at that.
Cold Winds There, Too.
At Crawford a cold wind was sweep
ing across the bleak prairies from the
northwest. The dust was raised in
clouds and everybody was in a bad
humor. Residents referred to it as "a
Wyoming wind and from the general
conversation We judged this was the
first wind Crawford ever experienced.
The train over the 20" to the north was
reported "on time" but proved to be
more than two hours late. The traffic
on the Burlington is unusually heavy
and even with great engines and splen-
did equipment it is found impossible
to keep trains moving on schedule
time. The train is worth waiting for.
Luxurious Pullmans and a splendid
dining car service are a part of the
equipment. Two engines are attached
and succeed in making up a portion OF
the time lost in Nebraska.
Need of Better Facilities.
The trip from Casper around to
Moorcroft reminds one of the neces,
sity of better railroad facilities north
and south and revives the hope that
both the Colorado and Southern and
the Burlington will in the ear future
complete their contemplated extensions
clear through the state. The people
of this section are confident the for
mer intends to extend to Buffalo and
Sheridan and thence on to Billings.
This line will change the our of
business. Under present conditions
most of the trade goes to Omaha and
other eastern jobbing points, but the
north and south line will certainly turn
a great share of this business to the
south, where it should go.
From Cattle to Sheep.
Moorcroft is a little town of perhaps
200 souls. 1t is located near the Bell,
Fourche river, in the southern part o
Crook county. Formerly it was quite
a cattle shipping point, but the horned
critters have given place to those witt
wool. 1t is now the center of a grear
sheep country. Wool-buyers are here
in numbers now, but are given little
satisfaction. Few sales nave as YET
been made. owners are holding on fol
higher prices. They believe they
should have at least 25 cents.

Moorcroft has exceptional hotel &C.
commodations for such a small town.
The Moorcroft hotel, run by the Som,
ers Co., would do credit to a much
larger place. The hotels are doing a
good business, too. Last night they
were full to overlooking. Grand Chan
cellor Charles S. Manahan visited the
local lodge of Knights of Pythias and
members of the order came in from all
the surrounding country. The meeting
was an interesting and profitable one
and doubtless will result in much good
to the order in this section of the state.
The grand chancellor goes from here
to Sheridan and Dietz and thence to
the Big Horn basin. He is accompa.
MED on his trip by Mrs. Manahan and
the writer and wife. Our tour of north
ern wyoming covers a distance of 2,1OC
miles, more than 300 of which will be

Magnificent Emerald Sea.

Northern Wyoming is enjoying In
usual prosperity. The great reaches of
grazing land are a magnificent emerald
sea. The grass is high enough to wave
in the breezes, which, by the way, hap
pened to be unusually frisky during
our stay at Moorcroft. No excuses
were made for it, however. Wyoming
people are not in the habit of apologize
ing for what they cannot help.

Let Well Enough Alone.

Wyoming's leading industries are
enjoying unusual good times and it
would be folly to perform any politi-
cal act hal would in the slightest de
gree tend to a change in the existing
wool schedule. 1t was equally import
ant that Wyoming should also stand
for protection of hides, coal Inc iron
products. While the latter industry
was yet in its infancy, SO far as Wyo-
ming was concerned, the time would
come when it would take the lead.

Horn and Johnson counties will be

At Lowest Elevation.

Crook county is doing a great deal of
farming without irrigation. The land
is fertile and many crops can be raised
at a fair profit. 1t has a lower average
elevation than any other county Of wy
oming and hence has a decided advan-
tage in the length of the summer sea,

markets of the Black hills, which gives
added Impetus to all agricultural pur'
suits.
Politically, there seems to be a con.
siderable degree of Indifference here.

honesty and ability he believed he

| ditions as possible.
