DOING WELL
Uncle Sans Herd of Buffalo are
Thriving in their New
Home.

Uncle Sans herd of fifteen buff
f~aloes, which were taken from the
New York Geological Gardens to
the Wichita National Forest, Ok.
lahoma, in the early fall, are doing
well in their new home, according
to advices which have been receiv-
ed here from the supervisors head
quarters at Cache. Since leaving
New York the herd has celebrated
the birth of two fine buffalo calves
one of which has been named
Hornaday, after the name of the
director of the New York gardens
which gave them to the govern
ment, and the other Oklahoma,
after the new state which was also
just born after the herds arrival.
Keeper Frank Rush an old west
ern ~cowpuncher and experienced
buffalo man, who has handled the
herd since it was taken from New
York, says that alfalfa hay has
put his charges in fine shape and
that the big prairie beasts are
again thriving in their native land.
The bnffaloes have an 5000 acre
fenced park in the Wichita forest
in which they can charge and
snort.
During the winter the animals
will be fed alfalfa hay and protect
ed from the weather and disease
in a number of large shelter sheds
which have been built in the en-
closure. In the spring they will
be let out TO roam over the Wich-
ita range and gradually they will
be encouraged to rustic for them
selves, an instinct they have par
TALLY lost through years of domes-
tication in city parks. Govern
ment experts figure hat in time

their forefathers who were kings
of the plains before civilization

Hon. G.. M. Winkleman goes
soon to Denver where he under
goes an operation that will neces-
state his stay. in hospital for at
least three weeks.
Our readers will remember that
last winter Mr.. Winkleman broke
his arm while alighting from a
moving railroad train and that he
had very serious trouble with it
then. The bone never properly
healed and at present is in bad
condition. 1t will be necessary to
cut the bones of the forearm and
remove a section, thus shortening
the arm. We hope the operation
will prove a success and that the

TIE TIMBER
Scarcity Compels Railroads to
Seek for Timber in 9th.
or Sections.

A striking instance of the scare
ity of timber suitable for railroad
ties in the United States is seen in
the recent purchase of the Atchison
Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Co.
of 100000 ties of china wood
from a lumber company operating
in the Hawaiian Islands. 1t has
been dithc ult for some time for
the railroads of this country to Oh
tain wooden ties satisfactory both
in quantity and quality, and many
of them have been looking about
for an opportunity to purchase
tie timber in other countries.
During a recent trip of this
kind by a representative of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railway company, arrangements
were made for the purchase of
ties, not only in the Hawaiian Is
lands but also in Japan. 1t is
stated that ties from japan will be
made from a certain species of oak
which compares in lasting quality
very favorably with the white oak
of this country, which has been
considered the most satisfactory
wood for tie purposes. About a
year ago, before the representative
of the railroad had started on his
trip, the United States forest ser
vice made a few tests on the ohla
wood. The results indicated that
in point of strength ohia wood
will rank with the oaks. 1t was
thought from these tests that the
wood was worthy of further inves-
tigation, and the large order plac.
ed by the railroad indicates that
their agent is confident that Ha-
waiian wood will prove to be II
more satisfactory material for rail
road ties uuder conditions existing
in this country.

Work in Canon Making Good
Progress-Graders Near
Encampment.

The cold weather has had the
effect to retard work on the S. &
E. Railway somewhat but not to
stop operations entirely. The work
in the canon of the Encampment
river has all been done except
some rock work and that will be
completed inside of ten days or
two weeks. The graders are now
within two miles of Encampment
and making good progress not

All of the low places that were
likely to freeze up, ere complet-

work at this time is on dry ground
where the frost did not have much
effect.
Two of the four steel bridges
have been shipped. They left
Milwaukee on the 9th of Deem
Der and should arrive within a
week, Frank j Cramer, chief en-
giner, says it has not been decided
whether these bridges, which come
in pairs of 80 and 120 foot spans,
will be used here or in the canon,
where the length of the spans are
Just the same as across the North
Platte river at this place. The
company is, just now, in need of
rails. 1t will be necessary to haul,
not only the steel bridges them
selves right to the point where
they will be erected, by rail, but
also the heavy timbers to be used
in their erection.
Railroad trains are running reg
uIarly and everyone is pleased
with the service being given. Very
little delay, less than two hours,
has been experienced from the
snow. Snow fences composed of
ties have been erected at the cuts
between here and Walcott, where
there was any danger of snow
drifting, In the spring, when
these fences are no longer requir-
ed, the ties will be placed in the
track where needed.
