PRAISE FOR
GOOD WORK
UNION PACIFIC EMPloYE
POSSIBILITY OF REACHING THE
NORTH PARK COAL FIELD,
Says Opening of Mines Will Do More
in Ten Years to Develop State and
Park Than Many Years More
Without Such PossibiIities-Con-
tract for Telephone Poles.

"The determination of the Laramie,
Hahns Peak and Pacific to extend its
line to the coal fields of North park
said a local railroad man this morn
ing, "and the consequent bringing OF
that immense body of coal in sight of
a ready and growing market, will
mean more for the Laramie plain and
North park, in my estimation, than
any other railroad project now before
the people of this state. Why, that
coal vein is one of the mineral won
ders of the world. 1t has been opened
up with a breast of twenty-five feet
of the very best coal, and a drill hole
a few feet back of the workings re-
veals a thickness of sixty-fve feet of
coal at a very shallow depth. The coal
is of excellent quality, will not easily
slack and burns almost entirely to
ashes"
Lump Four Years Old.
The gentleman took from a cupboard
in his Office a lump of coal four years
old, which had dried to extreme brit.
%tleness, reducing in weight about %
per cent, perhaps, leaving the struc-
ture intact and as hard and bony as
anthracite coal, almost.
Vast Quantities of Fuel.
Fuel in such quantities is bound to
tell on the development of the south
ern part of the state. The building of
that line to the Raich mines will do
more for Albany county and North
park in the neXt ten years than four
times that many years without it or
some other good coal field. 1t will
mean not alone cheaper fuel for the
consumer in his home, but manufactur-
ing possibilities almost Incompetent
sible. I have a little selfish interest
in the matter, it is true, but l also
have interest as a citizen of the county
and state"

HINTS ON NEW MATERIALS
Some Of the Ideas That Promise to be
Popular This Season.

Shoppers in striped summer suits
are hurrying into the city every pleas

Of them stripes again meet them. In
an exhibition of silks and velvets held
in one of the stores last week stripes
were more conspicuous than anything
else.
A mixture Of velvet w.;h silk and
wool weaves is especially prominent
Velvet stripes on gauze are leaders in
their department.
One of the handsomest and most ORR
ginal fabrics seen this season is OF
half-inch even stripes of silk chiffon
voile and chiffon velvet. These run
crosswise of the material. ending with

of three graduated stripes that run
horizontally. The goods will naturally
be made uD widthwise. The new pur-
pies. green. plum and blue are to be

with the silks and woods are all Of
chiffon texture. so that no extra
weight is given to the fabric.
OF the chiffon voiles and velvet
weaves intermingled there is an end
