LANDER RAPTISTS WILL
BUILD NEW CHURCH.

Rev. George L.. White, district mis-
sionary for the Baptist church, was
here the first of the week to aid the
local society in raising funds for the
erection of a new church, says the Ian
der Journal. He preached Sunday ev'
ening and also assisted Rev. F. c. Bar
rett a couple of days in c~anvassing
for subscriptions in which they were
quite successful. They have had
pledges for nearly all Of the $4,000
which they are to raise, the church
missionary society being expected to
provide an additional 2 $500. A church
to cost S., 900 will be erected next
year on the lots on Sweetwater street
between Third and Fourth streets
which were purchased for that purpose
more than two years ago. Rev. Whites
district embraces the states of Wye
ming and Utah and he states that the
church is making a rapid growth 81
most all over the district. 1t is thought
that the new church here will be built
of concrete blocks and will be finished
in such a way that ii will be a credi,

President Of the Nation

1t might be well to remind some OF
our brother editorA throughout the
state tina Roosevelt is not only presi
dent OF Wyoming but the rest of these
United States as well, and men should
be broad enough to take this fact INTO
consideration when criticising the ad-
ministration. Don't think because
your little business sustains some
small injury through an act of the
chief executive that the whole country
is on the verge of ruin. To be plain
with you, you are of such slight i'm
portance (no matter who you are or
what your paper is) that If swallowed
up by an earthquake the nation would
60 right along as If nothing had hap
pened. 1t is not this one or that one
our laws must protect but all the PEG
lle. The individual cuts no appreci'
able amount of solidified moisture. So.
ciety is the real stuff. A man hat
can't be president OF the whole works
has no business in the White house
and an editor that can't think of any
body or anything outside of his own
bailiwick ought to go and soak his
head.-Guernsey Gazette.

Frequent Measurements.

The board wrote to Mr.. Mohler after
receiving complaint from Nebraska
travelingmen that station agents fire
quently made Measurements Of the
time of trains, causing them much loss
of time and often needless finan-
cial loss. 1t was stated the agents
would not notify the public Of the late
ness of trains or would frequently give
wrong information. OFTEN trains would
be annulled when all the information
given out by the station agent was
they were but a few minutes late.
Cause of Delay in Starting.
AS for the %lateness OF trains In
starting, Mr.. Mohler said this was ne,
cessitated by reason of late through
trains waiting for east and west con-
nections. He promised to look into
the matter in which station agents are
giving out information. but did not see
how the matter could be remedied.
Must Make UP New Train.
The railroad commission is dissatis-
fed with the letter of Mr.. Mohler, re-
garding it as indefinite and has written
him for more specific information. The
commission bears in mind a regulation
now in force in Texas which compeis
a railroad, when a train is more than
thirty minutes late at a division poin1,
to make up a new train and send it on.
Will Follow Up Complaint.
The complaint of the travelling men
is to be followed until some actual re
dress is secured.
