Yards at Green River So Crowded That
Traffic Officials Of Division Have
Been Asked to Send No More Cars

Full Duty-Rallroad Notes.

According to a railroad conductor,
who has been connected with the Wyo-
ming division for the past twenty
years, never before in that time has
there been a greater congestion of the
freight business Of the system. THE
yards at Green River are so full of
car that the Wyoming division has
been asked to deliver no more there
for the present. We are using every
endeavor to break the congestion, but
as fast as we get one station cleared
of loaded cars other trains pour in
from both directions and We are up a
stump again. Every engine that can
draw a train or a part of a train is in
service every hour it can be used from
Omaha to Ogden, INT the shops are
put to it to keep them going"

have been complied by the combination
Of similar reports from all manufac-

A FINE MINSTREL
TOMORROW EVENING.


Gorton's minstrels will appear at the
Opera House tomorrow, Tuesday night,
December 4. Gorton's minstrels are
by no means strangers in this city,
their performances have always been
classed among the best. The addition
this eason of many high class special
ties Of a novel and interesting char
acter insures a performance satisfac-
tory and pleasing in all'details. Among
the notable features is the stage set
ting OF the First Part" presenting a
tropical scene in Florida, with the mag
n%iicient Ponce de Leon hotel in the
background. Rich and elegant cos
tunes add still further to the beauty
of this Incompatible stage picture. The
entire company is composed of cap
able performers, each one selected with
special reference to his ability. The
comedy, music and various specialties
are said to be high class in every re-
spect. The press opinions in the vari-
Gus cities where this organization has
recently appeared, are of a very favor
able character, and there is every in
dication that the performance is all
that it is represented to be.
An innovation which has become
popular is the continuous performance
presented by Gorton's MINSTREL. There
are no long, tiresome waits and no in.
ferior acts put on merely to fill out
time. Everything presented is clever
and interesting, and goes with a dash
and vim from start to finish. The
company is composed of the best per
formers, and the performance is guar
anteed to be free from anything that
could be considered offensive. Seats
on sale at Laramie Drug store.

New Air Compressor ordered,

A new air compressor, to operate
with its own engine, has been ordered
for the rolling mills, to supply more

which is attached to the west side en-
CINE, is not large enough to furnish
the air needed. The compressed air
is used in the oil tanks and oil furnaces
and has no connection with the draft
