Bryan has frankly consented to be
searched.
The sorriest part of it all is to be
found in the position in which such a
proposition places democracy. All this
smacks too much of the hour when
graveyards yawn, when it must "talk
of graves, of worms and epitaplis.'
Mr.. Bryan "as at present advised" is
not ready to admit that hour has come:
he hopes there is yet a kick left in the

the faithful old beast to- make a re,

MILLER DROVE THE SPIKE.

On the 18th day of April.
Just before noon,
Another enterprise was added
To the great Wyoming boom.
The scene was most delightful
You never saw the like
The people yelled and cheered.
When Miller drove the spike.
When Miller drove the spike
His heart was light and merry,
He doffed his coat, turned up his
sleeves,
Like any section Jerry;
A better job was never done
BY a Peterson or Mike;
The sound was heard in Boston,
When Miller drove the spike.
Now Miller's drove the spike,
Its plain enough to see
Passenger and freight trains
Will run on the l.. H. P.
Excursions in the summer,
Likewise the Eagles pike;
All these things will come to pass
Now Miller's drove the spike.
Now the last spike is driven, --
And all that remains
Is to bring the ore and cattle
From the mountains and the plains.
The ranchmen and the farmers,
With, the irrigating dixie,
viii raise all kinds of products,
Now Miller's drove the spike.

a BINDER.


Plains line to Centennial is an achieve
ment of no little importance to he
Gem City. 1t means not only the devel-
opment of the stock and agricultural
resources of the Little Laramie and
Centennial valleys, but the opening of
u mineral section of unknown wealth.
For thirty years and more mining has
been going o in the Douglas creek
district, but only IL Il desultory sort OF
a way. 1t has been much like the com
mentary on the work once made by the
late lamented William o when he
said he could dc more han a been
done by dragging an old hen backwards.
There are no deep workings, and yet
there have been profits made in the
mining carried on in that district.
Low grade ore cannot be transported
to smelters by means of wagons.
Cheap rates are necessary and they
can only be secured by means Of rail
roads. AT one time the Rambler yielded
ore of a sufficiently high grade to make
it profitable TO haul it in wagons to
Laramie and her ship 1t to the smelt-
ers of Denver or Chicago, but the rich
deposit did not last. There appeared
to be plenty of ore that could be hand
led ut n reasonable outlay and there
will doubtless be lots more of it found
at a greater depth, but a railroad was
required. This deficiency will be sup
piled blythe plains line.
1t is certain that the rich placer de-
posits that have been worked on Doug
las creek were washed from mountain
lodes. Nature does not rain down gold.
The development of n branch of min
ing in that district will cause a thor
pectors will search in every nook and
corner OF the Snowy range and it will
be strange indeed If they do not uncov-
err mines of great value. Again, the
mines of Gold Hsll, in which there has
been considerable development, will be
brought closer to market and conse-
quent value. Ores there are not suti-
GENTLY rich to warrant a long wagon
haul. Ltd.
Another large industry will be the
lumber business. There are vast tracts
OF good timber land on the Medicine
Bow range. Although most of the lane
is within the forest reserve, the gov
y eminent makes provision for the sale
Of the larger timber and 1t can be
sawed and marketed. The long wagon
haul has hitherto added materially TO
the price. Transportation by rail will
save much to the people who will have
use for the product.
Centennial is near enough to the
upper Platte and North park country to
hold all that trade for this section Of
the country at least until a line Of road
is built up the Platte by way Of Sarato-
ga and Encampment, and even then 1t
would appear logical to conclude that
it would be more profitable for the peo-
pie of those sections to tradeh here, Tor
tho eason that they would save the
long haul around by the way Of Wal
colt. The people of North park will
not be compelled to drive their cattle
over the range to the Moffat line, but
will save in distance and expense by
driving to Centennial and shipping
from that point.
The Plains line will in many ways
prove a binder for the trade Of the
Gem City, and when it Is constructed
on into the North park and Encamp'
ment regions, it will find an immense
traffic from mines of coal, copper and
cold

To linger for all time.

Where loves fond dreams are sent. g.

In the Thaw trial there was a dis,
tribution of something like $500, 900. Ex-
perts who gave testimony that did not
amount to a snap of ones finger were
paid 500 per day, and some lawyers
connected with the case received ten
times as much as they were worth.
The men who had the hardest seige,
failed to accomplish anything and got
little for it were the jurymen. 1t was
the old story over again-the men who
are worked the hardest get the least

soop and a trial spin took place at Bris-
tol yesterday afternoon, the boat being

Massachusetts, bay racing. Francis b.
Fabyan OF Boston Is to have the Eleanor
for sport in the events Of that class this
season, and the boat may be taken to
jamestown later in the season.
The launching Of the boat was OF short
duration, once the Eleanor was out OF the
boat shop, and the rigging and bending
OF the sail were accomplished almost as
quickly as the launching. Nat Herreshoff
was at the tiller OF the boat as she put
off from the Herreshoff pier. and holding
her head toward the wind the new Fab
yam racer sailed very close to the breeze.
The rig is exactly like that OF the Doro-
thy O.. a pole mainmast OF the hollow
variety a mainsail and forestaysail, the
latter with a club head. There is a wide
deck and sharp ends, the stern being fine
ly drawn out.
The Eleanor is planked with mahogany
and the latter Is finished in the natural
color of the wood.
Capt Charlie Barr. a former skipper or
two cup defenders, was in Bristol yester-
day and was greatly impressed with the
new boat under sail.
