After several years of Indigestion

one finally loses faith in things gen

The first wife, Mary Scott Harrison,
was an invalid during a large part of
Mr.. Harrison's stay at the White
House, and much of the social duty
devolved upon Mrs. Dimmick.
Four years after his passing from
the White House Mr.. Harrison an.
nounced his purpose to remarry.
A woman of rare beauty and charm,
Mrs. Harrison is naturally very popu-
lar, both in indianapolis, where she
had her home, and in Tuxedo, N Y,
where she spends much of her time.

towards high standard of efficiency
when he perfected the revolving,

What this invention will be one can
only guess and most of today's guesses
are poor. From present indications,
however, the airship is to be a factor,
and when the inventor turns out an
aeroplane which can carry men and
shells in sufficient quantity to do real
damage, then our impressive battle
ships will be melted into steel rails.

William Owen Pronounces Road as
Good as Any Mountain Highway
in County and Believes It viii
Meet Every Requirement-county
Commissioners Commended.

w. M. Owen of Islay, a former resi-
dent n present property wne OF
this city, is in town today coming yes
terday from his ranch with a four
horse team, and is telling interested
pafties Of the excellent condition OF
the road from Laramie to the maneu-
yer camp in the Grow creek forest
reserve. Mr.. owen pays a tribute to
the excellent work being done by An
gust Kassahn on the road, under or
ders from the board of county com
missioners.
Good Mountain Highway.
Il verify believe that road is now the
best piece Of mountain road in the
county. / came over it at a stiff pace
with my four-horse team and had no
difficulty whatever. The only thing
needed, in my estimation, to make the
road 'autoble,, using a word coined by
The Republican, is the removal Of
small sharp stones left from blasting
boulders. The autoists of the city
should send a man or two with gar
den rakes and these could be removed
in a little less than no time. Then
the road would be as suitable for rub
Der tires as for steel tires"
Permanent improvements.
Mr.. owen says that Mr.. Kassahn
has been doing most excellent work,
and of a permanent nature. Instead
of building culyerts of wood, and us.
ing nails and spikes to work up and
do harm later on, the culverts are of
stone. The piers are build of large
stones and fiat rock is placed on top
for a covering and all covered with
dirt in a most workmanlike manner
The boulders have been removed,
some Of them with dynamite, and the
road placed so that teams will have
little difficulty in getting over.
Use Road to Camp.
Mr.. owens message will be used in
an effort to induce the war depart
ment to make use of this road in
transporting men and supplies from
this city to the maneuver camp for the
August gathering and from the camp
to the railroad station. The quarter
masters department will be asked to
send a man to go over the road from
here. 1t is believed that Laramie will
prove the logical point for debarking
the men and unloading the supplies,
the new road making teaming across
the range as good as could be wished
under the circumstances.
Commissioners Commended.
Mr.. Owen is an experienced team
ster, and ne does not hesitate to say
that the Kassahn Dad is a good as
1t could well be. He believes no bet
ter mountain road exists in the coun-
ty and commends both contractor and
the board Of county commissioners up
on the excellence of the work done.
