SHERIDAN COUNTY is LIVELY
Portion of wyoming, of which
IL is Center, is Making
Progress.

Colonel c. G. Coutant editor of the Sher-
idan Post and one of the best known men
of Wyoming. was at Burlington headquar-
ters yesterday.
Conditions with us are prosperous, and
this to greater or less extent means every
county in the state, and yet the northern anG
central portions are just now enjoying tn,
greatest prosperity" said he. Sheridan
county is, so to speak, the storm cente
of new industrial conditions. A beet suga
syndicate is getting ready to put up Z
s, 200, 900 plant and will also build an in
terurban electric line south to the town
of Big Horn and north to the Tongue river
to bring in beets from the farms and in
cidentally carry passengers.
"Our country has in past years been
short of water for late irrigation on GER
tain lands, but reservoirs have been built
in the mountains, and when the plans arc
fully carried out every acre available will
produce beets or other crops.
Il was quite surprised to see that spring
is considerably more advanced in Sheridan
county than in Nebraska. In the latter
state l notice that little has been accom-
plished in the way of blowing and seed
ing, while with us wheat, oats and barre.
are nearly all in. Heretofore we have beef
short or wheat, and consequently this yea
a considerable additional acreage has beer
put in. We have fine Touring mills will
the latest up-to-date machinery, and Sheri
dan flour ranks with the best that has eve
been shipped into our market
1.-THE city OF Sheridan is a busy metropo
lis at this time. Many new buildings are
under construction, and the demand 70.
eligible building lots and desirable homes
continues from month TO month.
II wish you would tell your readers that
Sheridan needs a creamery. and any on,
who will bring us one will receive a pay
ing patronage. There is a demand for
creamery butter. both east and west of uS
on the Burlington. and a large business can
be built up in very short time.
Conditions have changed in our country
within a very few years. The stock grower
and farmer formerly borrowed money Oh
our banking institutions and paid interest
in good round figures; now the farmers
and stockmen have money to loan. and In
some instances own large blocks of banl.
stock. and this money has been made in
that country"

DISASTER ON VESUVIUS
Heavy Rainfall Brings Avalanche Upon
Residents Of Mountain Side,
COMMUNICATION CUT OFF BY LANDSLIDE
sand, Ashes and Cinders from Volcano
Are washed Down Upon Two
Towns and Roads
Are impossible.

NAPLES, April 2s-Another disaster has
occurred in the vesuvius region. Through
out the past night torrents Of rain fell,
accompanied by heavy gale Of wind,
causing large avalanches of mud, sand,
ashes and cinders to fall over Somma and
Santa Anastasia, destroying bridges, block
ing the roads, flooding many habitauons,
interrupting communication by telegraph
and carrying away portions Of the rail-
way. Troops and military wagons were
hurriedly dispatched to the assistance Of
the sufferers.
The inhabitants of the stricken places
mentioned were awakened by roaring,
rushing sound, which was absolutely new
to them, and on running out of their
houses they found their property threat
ened by a new horror the fall of avail
anches of sand, ashes, etc. Their terror
was extreme. The women and children fed,
screaming with fright, into the open coun-
try, but In spite Of the avalanohes, floods
and gales no loss of life had been reported
up to the time this dispatch was filed 1t
is believed that while the storm RACES
Vesuvius is liable to be a continual menace
to life and property and that the people
in the region Of the volcano may have
visitations of a more serious nature than
last nights avalanches.

SENATE IS READY TO ACT
Agreement TO Vote on Rate Bill Expected
Early This Week.
DEBATE IS PRACTICALLY EXHAUSTED
II f. Probable that the Amend
ments VIII be Taken Up
May y-Indian Bill
Passed.

WASHINGTON, April 2s.-The generally
expressed opinion about the senate today
is that an agreement to vote on the railroad
rate bill be secured early next week. and
by common consent the vote is fixed for
some time during the week beginning May
T. The request for the naming Of a day
will be repeated early next week and it
was said that those who had been opposing
a vote would not longer seek delay. The
final vote on the bill itself will be proceeded
by debate of several days duration on the
amendments to the bill. The reasons given
for predicting an early vote are that the
debate is practically exhausted and that
there is strong pressure from the house
Of representatives, whose members are
anxious to bring the session to an end In
order that they may have opportunity to
give attention to their campaigns for re-
election.
Indian Bill IL Passed.
The senate today passed the Indian APP
preparation bill Several hours were de-
voted to spirited debate on the question Of
removing the restrictions from the allotted
lands of the Chocktaws,t Cherokees. Chick
asaws and Seminoles, except on full-bloods.
After an amendment was offered and
amended to suit those who favored It a
point OF order was made against the pro-
vision and sustained by the vice president.
Mr.. Spooner was the particular champion
OF the Indian in preventing the removal
Of the restrictions, but Messrs. Teller, Long
and others who favored the amendment
charged that he was misguided in his zeal
and the Indians themselves wanted to be
permitted to seek market for their surplus
lands. Mr.. Bailey argued that the removal
Of the restrictions was in the interests of
the white settler and the future of Okla
homa and Indian Territory depended upon
getting farmers on these lands before the
price became too high for the settlers to
buy. The appeal had no effect on Mr..
Spooner. who said the entire argument ap-
peared to be for the white man, with moth
ing for the Indian.
When the senate met today a bill provid-
ing for the purchase of land in Washington
as sites for buildings for the Departments
of State. Justice and Commerce was passed
1t appropriates 100000
A bill authorizing the Kansas City, St

bridge the Missouri river at Kansas City

appeal to the business Judgment of the
members of the city council. The ex-
tension of the Seventh street car SER
vice across the river into the southern
half of the ninth ward would be Of
great convenience to a large section
of the population, affording the peo-
pie quick transportation to the lower
business section. There should be no
delay in granting the franchise by the
servants of the people. The extension
would go east, doubtless to Boyle ave-
nue., thence a short distance north to
Stephenson avenue, where connection
would be made with the double track
line now in operation, thus giving the
people of Boyle Heights greatly i'm
proved car service. affording them the
privilege of reaching the northern and
southern business sections of Los An
geles in the First street, Euclid avenue,
Bimini Baths, Interurban and Seventh
street cars. Later the Seventh street
cars could be extended south from
Boyle avenue to Hollenbeck avenue and
eastward, opening up a new tract for
homeseekerS.
Business men and residents are deep
ly interested in the Seventh street car
line proposition. Quick action should
follow.
