NOTES FROM

Reprinted from the Walden New Era.
George TRADING was in checking up
the stage accounts last week.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Ridderstedt of
Laramie came in last week to attend
the funeral OF Mrs. Ridderstedt's sis
ter. Miss Lydia Stenholtz, who died
Saturday. They will return to Lara
mic shortly. near which place Mr.. Rid
derstedt owns a ranch.
Last Sunday afternoon during the
severe rain and hail storm which Wis
tied the park, four telephone poles, on
the North fork line, near e. A. Watten'
berg's, were struck by lightning and
torn to pieces, putting the line out Of
commission for a time.
Mrs w. l. Snair, Mrs. P. w. Fisch-
err, Mrs. Arthur Capron, DR.. Henry
Fischer and R.. b. True went up to
the ranch of Charles Winscom Sun
day for a short visit. Mrs. Fischer and
MI. True returned t Walden Monday
evening and the rest Of the party &C,
companied by Mr. and Mrs. Winscom
made a trip Tuesday to Kelly in
the Medicine Bow range. They had a
most delightful trip despite the rain
and were treated to the sight OF two
different punches of mountain sheep
on Kelly mountain. The animals could
be seen for quite a distance and the
ease with which they climbed the
mountain, jumping from rock to rock,
was well worth seeing.

The Peddler-

The Peddler-
One of the greatest pests to a com
|munity remote from the railroad is the
peddler who comes in and interferes
with the merchant who Is endeavorins
to carry a good stock of groceries and
articles necessary in a ranch home
and give you the lowest prices posi-,
BILE. Our legislature has endeavored
to rid the state of these peddlers, by
recurring the possession of a $500 lie
ense in each county to sell to the retail
trade and deliver the goods at the
time, this being necessary for the
protection of those who jump at an
opportunity to buy something cheap be
cause an oily tongued peddler tells you
it is all right-the pure quill. The
peddler, however, has found a loop
hole to get around this, and cheap
grocery houses of other states not pro
tected by our laws, now send in their
peddlers who take orders for a future
delivery of their inferior goods. There
should be no need of the Roundup
cautioning its readers that these houses
may sell adulterated f~oodstuffs, which
they can easily do at a cheaper price
than our merchant might ask you, and
many cases of ptomaine poisoning have
resulted in wyoming through patroniz
ing these peddlers, and several of the
firms have been prosecuted under our
laws for selling a~dulterated foods. Pat
ronize the merchant who is located
with you, pays taxes, allows you cred
it when Your rocketbook is short, car
ries many articles which you may need
in the interim between visits of the
peddler, has thousands of dollars tied
up on the shelf in an endeavor to sup
ply your wants, and incidentally spends
a dollar or two with the paper which
is doing all in its power to increase the
value of your homes, n who would,
it properly encouraged carry a large
stock and make better prices to the
trade.

any orders which may have been given
recently, and we trust our readers Will

FOR SUMMER

Perhaps the greatest thing the Lara
ME Plains line has done for the people
of Albany county n the country gen
orally is the bringing of the Centen'
NAL valley and the Snowy range as a
pleasure resort in direct railway com
mrnication with the outside world. In
a little more than an hours ride the
people of Laramie may now reach a
country as wild as need be, where they
may choose between the aroma of the
pine woods, the fresh breath of the val
ley or the chill morning air of perpet.
ual snow.
He who delights in the gentle sport
of angling may have great diversity
in his pleasure. There is the small
stream as it dashes from the noun
tains into the valley below, with its
myriads of tinny beauties, and near
at hand is he main stream after the
union of the North Fork, the Middle
Fork, the South Fork and Spring
creek.
Those who choose mountain climb.
ing have wonderful possibilities before
them. There is old Centennial right
at hand, with the lofty summit OF
Snowy n in the backgrounds. II
is only eight miles from Centennial
station to places where o has for
ages never ceased to be. In this re
gion of perpetual snow theer are mum
erous lakes and rivulets and plenty oil
open country in which to camp and to
range horses. The lakes have been
stocked with trout and the table can
be supplied with food fresh from the
clear cold water. Here the busy cares
of business and city life will not fret
and worry; here hay fever will not
come to annoy Inc to make the heart
sick; it is just such a spot as the
person tired with the routine of daily
life thoroughly enjoys when on a va
cation.
The railroad is skirting the western
side of the valley, bringing it near to
all the little springs that break from
the mountain sides. These hooks form
ideal camping places, and up the deep
gorge formed by the Middle Fork there
is room for a thousand parties. This
stream swings away around behind
Centennial mountain, taking its source
not far from the headwaters of the
North Fork, French creek, Douglas
creek, Rock creek and the Medicine
Bow. Old Snowy feeds them all, and
all form ideal grounds for a summer
outing.
Where the road crosses the divide
to Lake creek, pine woods may be
found right along the r~ight-of-way, and
in the month of August the picnick'
er may add TO the larder mountain
~raspberries and possibly some willow
grouse. Is there any luxury more APP
.petizing?
The large number of people who
have taken advantage of the Sunday
excursions proves that the people Of
Laramie are fully alive to the possibil
tiles in store. Another year will TAKE
thousands where hundreds have gone
this summer. Next ear there will bt
better accommodations at Centennia

or to carry a lunch. A good hotel will
be doing business-probably several o
them.

ABOUT YOUR PIANO
1T NEEDS CARE TO KEEP 1T IN
CONDITION..
pampness Quickly Affects the Tone
Don't Keep Il Closed as tho
Keys Will Turn Yellow.

The piano is an instrument requir-
ing almost as much attention to keep
in good working order as the human
body. A great deal Of care and skill
have entered into it's manufacture and
In order to keep it in effective con
dition some points suggested by a
maker of forty years experience may
be worth noting.
In the first place a piano can not
keep its tone in a damp place; damp
e 8 rusts both strings and tuning
pins and also causes the felt on the
hammers and hampers to swell, thus
causing the mechanism to move ir-
regularly or sluggishly.
To prevent the ivory keys from
turning yellow allow them to be ex-
posed to the rays of the sun occasion
ally.
While avoiding dampness, do not,
on the other hand. put your instru-
ment in a place of extreme heat, as
near the radiator or stove or open
fire.
To keep dust from accommodating
kOh tAS oOuhdih6 DOdlu ClOoS yOui
piano when not in use.
Most people have learned by ex-
p%erience that 1t is injurious to a watch
to leave it without winding for a long
time, thus causing the oil to clot. 1t
Is just as hurtful to a piano to keep it
closed for months at a time. Even
when not in use open it occasionally.
If you insist upon %burdening your
piano by piling heavy loads of books,
pictures and ornaments upon it do not
be surprised If it retaliates by some
times emitting unpleasant sounds
when played upon.
Place a small piece of camphor in a
corner inside you instrument to keep
the moths from destroying the felt.
Have the piano tuned often-if new
every three or four months the first
year and less frequently thereafter.
When necessary to move your in
strument see that it is done by those
whose sole business it is to move
pianos.
Cleaning Silver.
Silver articles that have become tar
nished may. even if embossed or en-
graved. be quite quickly cleaned by
the use of alum. Dissolve an ounce
in a quart of s%oapsuds, and wash are
fully, using a brush for the carved
parts. Rinse the article several times
then dry with a soft cloth and polish
with channels. Hot suds with ammonia
will also clean the silver quickly and
well, in such a way that there need be
20 troublesome brushing with one OF
mother of the pink or white powders
which have such a gift for lodging in
all the ornamental parts.
