ACTUAL WORK
ON THESTEAL
LARAMIE LITERARY CLUB Salts
FLED THAT CONSTRUCTION
HAS BEGUN ON DITCH.
Two Gangs Of Men Employed in Di-
verting Waters of Laramie River
for Use in Colorado-James Hard
mar Tells Of Some Things He
Knows and cortheII Also Speaks.

At the open meeting last night of
the Laramie Literary club, it devel-
oped that there are in fact not only a
large number of men working upon
the ditch which is to tap the main
tributaries of the Big Laramie river,
but that another large force is at work
widening and e%nlarging the High Line
ditch, which already carries a large
part Of the upper waters of the river
into Colorado. In addition to tapping
the river itself, both bitches are de-
signed to catch the waters of numer-
Gus small streams which flow from the
timber and a large part of the melted
snow from which the river receives
its freshets. The company which pro-
poses to develop the new enterprise
is said to have ample backing, even to
the extent of building a three or four
mile tunnel and a ditch which will
involve the construction of high cribs
or timbering to carry the water around
precipitouS mountains.
Hartman Knows Facts.
James Hardman, who of all others at
the meeting last night had the most
practical knowledge of the problems
involved, had no hesitation in saying
that he believed the ditch and tunnel
will be built, so great is the demand
for water to irrigate the fertile lands
in the valley of the Poudre. Mr.. Hard
man gave the interesting intelligence
that the company intends to build a
reservoir upon the Wallace Link place,
On the upper Laramie, capable of hold
ing 5000, 900 cubic feet of water, the
water not to be used for irrigation in
Colorado, but to insure the title of the
company to the water they wish to
take from the watershed.
Description Of Work.
Mr.. Hardman gave a description
also of the work which has been going
on quietly for years on the Eaton
ditch, which not only taps Sand and
Sheep creeks. but carries of into Colo.
RADIO a vast amount of water from the
watershed which nature intended
should drain into the Laramie.
Advises Storage Reservoirs.
The somewhat gloomy outlook for
Wyoming users of TIE water of the
river was scarcely relieved by the

Boise, Idaho, Aug. 2.-William d.
Haywood, secretary of the Western

throughout the trial, left on an early
train today for Denver.
Coming Via Salt Lake.

where they will arrive late this after
noon. Haywood will stop for a Few
hours in Salt Lake, to see that his
mother is comfortably returned to her
home, and will proceed thence to Den
yer, arriving there late Saturday
night or Sunday morning early. Meyer
vas also expected to leave today, but
postponed his departure until tomor-
row night.
The Pinkertons Again?

did not leave together has renewed the
wild rumors of serious differences be-
tween the two chief officers of the

ating dissension and trying to divide
the ranks of the miners organization.
Against the Celebration.
1t is known, however, that Meyer
has not wholly approved the plan for

no part in it. He believed it would be
better to wait until Pettibone had his
trial.

in two weeks to look after Petitioners
interests. He said his own health was
not good, and it would be some time
before he took up his duties at the

counsel for the Pettibone and Meyer
trials. The matter is to be settled
soon, at a conference in Denver.
