miles in length.
1t is known that the two extern
sions contemplated by the Hill and
Burlington people will tap what is
considered the greatest mineral
section in the west. 1t is also a
fine grazing country and over it
are scattered millions of acres of
rich agricultural land that can be
made to produce immense crops as
soon as irrigated from the streams
of which there are many.
While the Hill interests are
pushing their lines into the inter
ior, the other roads will not be
idle. The capital hat is behind
the Colorado e. Southern, which
Owls a large mileage in Eastern
Colorado, including the line from
Denver to Grin Junction on the
Northwestern's Casper extension
proposes to get busy.
1t is reported that the Colorado
& Southern has decided to invade
the territory of other roads aud
has men in the field, surveying a
line from Grin Junction to Sheri-
dan on the Burlington. Omaha
men say hat the road will not only
commence work on this extension
within the year, but will build a
branch into the Big Horn basin
with the ultimate idea of eventual
ly going to the Pacific coast.
1t is also developed that the
Northwestern has no intention of
stopping its Casper extension at
Shoshoni. This road will contin-
ue the construction of a line to
Lander and will have a portion Of
it in operation this year. This
line will make a connection at
some point in Wyoming with an
extension, which the Union Paci-
fc will build west from SCOTS
Bluff, in Nebraska, to which the
construction of a branch is now
being pushed from Hershey, on
the main line.

THE WARREN SCHOLARSHIP
Senator Warren Gives Third Of the sehol-
arships to State University.

Senator F. E. Warren has sup
plemented the gifts for scholar
ships to the University by a gift
of 500 for a scholarship to be
known as The "Warren Scholar
ship" Some weeks ago Mr.. A. G,
Jones gave the first scholarship
and promised the fourth after the
second and third had been secured.
Mrs. Emmons of Laramie gave the
second and now Senator Warren
gives the third, thus securing the
fourth by Mr.. Jones. In addition
to these, Mr.. g. P. Arnold promis-
es to give the sixth after the fifth
has been secured. 1t is necessary
to secur but, one more to round
out a full half dozen. These schol-
arships have all been given for
students coming to the University
from outside of Albany county.
Students who are interested in
these scholarships should write to
the president of the University for
blanks upon which to submit ap-
plication and for the details in
regard to the qualifications.

activity
INCREASES IN WYOMING
Burlington, Northwestern, Colora-
do & Southern and Union Pacific
Active in Preparation for Large
Amount of Work in State.

Within the past ten days things
have occurred to indicate that
Wyoming is to be the theatre of
railroad operations during the
next few years and that in many
places in the state there is to be
great activity, says the Omaha
World Herald:
For weeks large parties of sur
veyors have been working in the
passes and valleys of the noun
tains and in the valleys along the
North Platte river, where it flows
through Colorado and Wyoming.
1t now developes that these men,
who at different times were report
ed to be in the employ of indie
pendent roads, were Burlington
engineers and that they are
working out the plans for a gigan-
tic railroad project.
1t is now pretty generally I'M
derstood that the Hill system, OF
which the Burlington is a part,
will gridiron Northern Colorado
and Wyoming with roads as rapid
ly as the lines can be constructed.
AS now developed the plans of the
Hill people are to construct a line
from Lyons, Colo, northwest to a
point near the headwaters of the
North Platte. Then the road will
follow the valley of this river,
crossing the Union Pacific in the
vicinity of Fort Steele. Continu-
ing, the line is to follow the stream
through Wyoming to its juncture
with the Split Rock, and from
there, running almost due north
to Muskrat.
From Burlington circles comes
rumors that the road will not cease
building upon completing the
Frannie extension to Worland, in
the Big Horn basin, but instead,
will transfer the forces to an ex-
tension to Muskrat. 100 miles
away, where connection will be
made with the proposed line from
Lyons, which will be some 200

Crossing Sheep.

G.. M. Winklemap, foreman for
the Cssgriff Bros. Sheep Co., was
in the city Monday making prepa-
rations to cross a portion of the
sheep belonging to his company.
Something like $4,000 head will
be crossed here, the first band of
which passed through yesterday
morning. These bands have to be
crossed early in the morning in
order not to interfere with traffic
on the bridge.

the CONGO MINE.

The Conga mine, situated on
the head of Jack creek, is doing
some fine development work and
the showing at this time is better
than ever and the owners are feel
ing fine over the outlook. The
mine is now down some $50 feet
and at this time there is enough
ore in sight to make a continuous
run for a couple of years. The
ore in this mine runs a little over
$65 to the ton in copper, gold and
silver. We are pleased to see the
amount of development being
done on this claim as it means
much to Saratoga and the entire
valley. These people are doing
work and have been for the past
year and are going to keep right
on, they have said nothing and
are not saying anything. That is
the kind of people that We all well
come. They are the people that
develop the interests of the country
and are not always looking for a
chance to blow about it. Their
intention is to put in a concentrat-
ing plant this summer and have
-
their ore in shape to ship when
ever we get transport alton in this
valley. II the railroad does not
finish this summer so that they
can begin shipping they will put
on wagon transportation from the
! mine to Walcott.

Chase Nickel

Last Saturday noon Lon n.
Chase and Miss Kathren Nickel
were united in marriage at the
home of the brides parents. The
wedding was a very quiet one and
very little is known of the affair.
After the wedding the young cou-
pie left for Denver for a few days
trip, but will return here and make
their home in future.
Mrs. Chase is the second daugh-
ter of Kels p. Nickel and is we'll
known and liked since coming
here two years ago from Cheyenne.
The groom is we'll known all
over the valley as a steady, ener-
getic young man and these young
people will nosdoubt do we'll.

During the war with Spain, in
1898 he volunteered for service
and was made End Lieut.. of Capt.

that he made a most faithful and
efficient officer, always prompt, re-
liable and attentive to his duties.
After his return to this place he
formed a partnership with John

time of his death.
In 1898, at the organization of
the Sd W. N. G. Capt. Albro, who
was then Capt of &c" Co. of this
place, was made Major of that reg

short address was to the point.
Gustave Jensen, on behalf of the
board, addressed the class in a few
we'll chosen words, after which
each graduate was presented with
her diploma. This was followed
by the song, Farewell Classmates"
by the graduates.
Charles E. Winter was then in
troduced and addressed the audi
ence on the "Value of Optimism"
Mr.. Winter is a finished orator
and his effort on this occasion was
pleasing and instructive to all and
convinced his hearers of his great
ability. Mr.. Winter, it will be re-
membered is the author of that
beautiful song, "Wyoming," which
has been sung with such enthusi-
asm and pride from one end to the
other of this growing common
wealth.
Mesdames Stearns, Jensen and
Simonson, closed the exercises of
the evening with a vocal trio, en-
titled, "a Peasant Maid" ending
with a cradle song, and the CON-
mencement exercises of 1906 were
numbered with the past. Alto
gether it was a most successful
evening and reflected great credit
on the class as we'll as upon the

HOMESTEAD IN FOREST RESERVES

Capt. Davis has been notified
by telegraph that the bill provid-
ing for homesteads in Forest re-
serves had passed both houses Of
congress and approved by the
President. This is an important
measure and will be received with
appreciation by all. Its provis-
ions are as follows:
First. Only lands valuable for
agriculture will be open for settle
ment.
Second. Those occupying lands
within the forest reserves, prior
to January LIST, 1906, will be given
a preference right over others.
Third. Any man, who was a
bona fde settler on land within
the reserve previous to January
LIST, 1906, though he may have
used his homestead right, will
have the privilege OF taking anoth-
er homestead, but he will have to
pay $3.50 per acre for it.
Fourth. All applications for
homesteads must be made by mail,
addressed to the Forester, Wash
ington, d. G. Such application
must contain the name of the for
est reserve and describe the land
by legal subdivisions, or if not
surveyed, by metes and bounds.
Capt. Davis will be glad to furn-
ish such other information as may
be desired. The proper way to
proceed, where one wants to make
an entry of this kind, is to simply
address a letter to the Forester,
Washington, D. G., saying that
the applicant wishes to enter a
certain piece of land, describing
it, in such and such a forest re-
serve. Those who come first will
be served first; therefore if you
wish to get a homestead in the re-
serve make application at once.
