Opening Of Bowling Alley

Owing to the bad weather, the
opening night, last Friday, of the
Hot Springs Amusement Hall
WAS not as successful as had been
hoped for but since then the at
tendance has far surpassed expec-
tations. Bowling has proven it,
self to be a most popular sport
with all the citizens of this city
and the alleys have been run full
blast from 2 to II p. m, every
day but Sunday.
Fred Holck's high score of 1874
still holds the record and Fred is
open for any challenge from those
who think they can roll better
than that. k Moore is a close
second. So interested have the
bowlers become that the manage
ment is contemplating offering
prizes for the best scores.

Marshal Keeper Resigns

AT the meeting of the Council
Saturday evening. Marshall klep-
per resigned his position, and
Charles Taylor a appointed to
fill the vacancy, Mr.. Klepper has
made a most excellent officer, and
the city regrets to lose him. He
has been impartial and conscien-
tious, but decided there was not
sufficient money to induce him to
continue in office.
Marshal Taylor has been mar.
shal for several years here and is
onto all the kinks of the trade.
He has always been successful in
landing any maelfactors, and the
city is fortunate in again securing
his services.

Shooting Within City Limits

Clyde Webster WIS arrested
Tuesday morning and arraigned
in Judge Winsor's court. charged
with discharging firearms within
the city limits. Last week a bull.
let tirei from the south part OF
town struck a window in the Office
of the Palace hotel, passing just
over the heads of Mr.. and NJ RS.
Charles Couzens, who were pass
ing. The same day a bullet broke
a window in the south end of the
Wolf Hotel. After a little scout.
ing it was discovered that the only
part of town from which the win
dows in the Palace hotel could be
seen, at Il convenient distance for
a % calibre rifle was in the rear
of what is known as the Ferris
Haggarty hotel.
Parties were told to keep a look
out, and on Monday afternoon it
is alleged that Webster WAS seen
to fire several shots from this
point of vantage toward the town.
One of the bullets passed through
another window in the Palace Ho-
tel office, and struck in the stairs,
on a step where Chas. Mitwalsky's
youngest child, a boy between
one and two years of age, had
been playing but II half "A minute
before. Marshal Taylor happened
to be near at the time, and ran
over to the Ferris Haggarty build
ing, where he found the gun, a 90
calibre, which Webster is sup
posed to have dropped in order to
not be e re leaving the place with
a gun. When Mr.. Taylor opened
the gun he extracted the shell and
there was still smoke in the bar
rel.
Judge Winsor assessed the costs
in the case to Webster. and upon
the promise of the latter to re-
place the windows, and to cut out
his target practice in future, turn
ed him loose.

water, the continued cold weather

visit, are stopping at the Hotel
Wolf this week, awaiting y party
of eastern men.
Supt. Brile is taking a vacation,
and resting up after eight years
of work in the mines of the En-
campment district. A more thor
ough gentleman, OF more capable
man in every particular than Mr..
Brile, is difficult to find.
As superintendent Of the Fer
ris- Haggarty mine during its
early development on large
scale, MI. Brile made an excellent
record. Later he was placed in
charge of the famous Doane- Ram
bier, and the work he accomplish
ed under his supervision of that
property places it in II position to
become one of the richest produc-
ing copper mines in the west.
The company owning the Ram
bier have attempted no shipments
of ore-knowing that the copper
would keep-until some of
transportation, that would not eat
up the entire profit on the ore,
were furnished. This Transports
ton is about to be realized in the
form of the new electric railway
recently Incorporated at Encamp-
ment.

We all know that, without cul.
tivation and culture of kinds, no
land produces other than from
sources Disseminated or planted
by nature primarily. Under an
intelligent application of the sci
ence Of agriculture our sage brush
lands have been made to yield
liberal crops, in variety beyond,
even, what science claims posi-
BILE, considering altitude and eli
matte conditions. OF this sage
brush land our valley has, avail
able to reclamation and settle
ment, something over n quarter of
a million acres, or 1860 homes
based upon the productiveness of
l6O acres for each home.
AS this is the beginning of the
era of the necessarily intrusive,
rather than extensive methods of
farming, the number of homes
may be doubled; allowing to each
a home of 80 acres or the area
that any n family, say of aver
age of two able bodied male adj
ats could properly care for under
a system of irrigation, or that of
dry farming under the Campbell
or Crook systems.
An estimate of two thousand
homes is not any above that today
afforded by our valley between
Beaver creek divide on the south
and that of Sage creek on the
north. 1t may be we'll to remem-
Der that we are not living in the
past. Some few may revel in
sleep and dream of past unlimited
open range; but the demand for
homes by the ever rapidly increas-
ing population of our living coun-
try, this great United States, is
intense, and wherever vacant pub
lie lands may be had they will be
rapidly appropriated. and cult
waited, that they may be made to
produce competence and afiuence
to the progressive settler.
Lack of modern transportation
facilities has been the impeachment
to progress along these lines in
the Upper Platte country. This
condition has been overcome
through private enterprise, the
Saratoga & Encampment railroad
having placed us in direct COM
munication with the outside world
and We may new look for an influx
of home-seekers and home max
ers as we'll as seekers of profitable
investments in mines and the
manufactures.

the energy and enterprise of its

their several executive committees
must be judged by results. Apa-
