so Tons Of Grub.

We are informed this week by
Platt Hinman that he and Lon
Chase have secured the contract
to haul in between 10000 and
100000 pounds of groceries for
the boarding house at the Rude
feha mine. Within the next few
days the first of it will arrive and
they will start at once to fill their
contract, which is a big one for
the kind that it represents. We
are glad to see the advancement
of work in the hills already started
and if the whole summer proves to
be as prosperous as the beginning
we will have a good year.

TROUBLE
SETTLED
The Saratoga and En-
campment and the Den
yer, Yellowstone and
Pacific Come to Agree
ment.

A Special from Cheyenne to
the Denver Post says that after a
fight lasting over a year and which
resulted in a delay of over six
months in the construction of the
Saratoga & Encampment railroad,
the entente cordiale between the
Denver, Yellowstone & Pacific and
Union Pacific roads has been re-
stored, and a big grading force has
been put to work constructing the
Saratoga e. Encampment division
of the Denver, Yellowstone & Pa
cifc.
The trouble began with an open
rupture a year ago when General
Manager Mohler of the Union
Pacific announced that road did
not propose to let the other in
fringe upon its territory, and since
then the new company has been
harassed on every side. S~atisfac-
tory rates would not be granted
for the transportation of steel and
other construction material over
the Union Pacific, and the Denver,
Yellowstone & Pacific had to Sc
cure, by condemnation proceed
ipgs in court, a right of way across
the Union Pacific lands at Wal
colt. Now a traffic agreement has
been entered into and the roads
have become allies.
Grading on the line from Wal
colt TO this place is moving for
ward. Fifty more teams were put
to work Monday. These teams
are the large freight teams for
merly owned by the Encampment
Transportation Company in haul
ing the blister copper to the cars
at Walcott.
Gidean g. Michael moved their
grading camp from Walcott to the
ranch of A. Crone on Pass creee.
1t is reported that they are in need
of teamsters and can give employ
ment to a number of good men.

having made a mistake in his cal

timated. He would have saved
us n great deal of worry and loss
of sleep if he had been more care
full in making his first estimate.

Grange
THE PATRONS INFLUENCE.
The Grange should BE the Safeguard
OF the Farmers Interests.

The Grange Should BE the Safe guard
OF the Farmers Interests.
The grange is the natural ana con-
venient channel for the expression Of
the voice of the combined farming
community. 1t is we'll known that in
any community in which the granSe
Is organized it includes in its member
ship the intelligent, progressive and
substantial farmers Of that community
These, then, are In position to express
the progressive sentiment Of the com
munity, says the Grange Bulletin, and
it should be recognized in every public
matter that the grange, the safeguard
of the farmers interests, must be reck-
oned with.
Are your taxes too high? Why? Are
public offices, in your county, public
snaps? Why? Are the public contracts
given to public favorltes at eXtrava-
CANT prices? Why? Are laws made for
the protection of all being openly dis
regarded? Why? Are corporations
lightly taxed and thus escape their
Just share of governmental expenses?
Why? Against these and hundred
other like abuses you inwardly rebel,
and yet the remedy for them is always
within your hands.
The redress of these evils is not poll
tics 1t is business-the farmers bust
ness-and the grange Is the most power
full medium for carrying 1t out. Make
it fairly recognized and acknowledged
that the farmer and his success are at
the basis of the prosperity Of the coun-
try, and that everything which in the
least Injuries him Injuries the entire
business world. All of these things
should be considered by the subordi-
nate degrees, and, beginning with the
smaller abuses, those right in our own
communities and our own counties, we
should apply the corrective power
which rests in our hands. BY firm. de-
clsive, concerted. effort. make it recog
nized that the farmer, being the pro-
Queer, is also in a position to dictate
how the product of his labor shall be
used.
