in practically all the regiments of the
different branches of the service. In
some of the infantry organizations
quite half of the officers are on detach-
ed duty, companies are commanded by
second ieutenants, to the great detri-

The regular army is now composed of
fifteen regiments of cavalry, SIX of field

are 10 companies of coast artillery, a
very important arm of the service,
which is no longer reckoned as part

For this military contingent and AL

Snow Plow for S. & E.

The s. & E. Ry. has been very
fortunate in the matter of snow
~blockades. At one time only,
during the blizzard of two weeks
ago, did the company experience
any difficulty in operating trains.
They we're only delayed a matter
of six or seven hours at that time.
The company is building a
snow pillow at this place to be used
in keeping the road open. They
are using a flat car and the pillow
is being built on the end of the
car, something on the plan nov in
use by the Union Pacific road,
known as the Russell snow pillow.
The front end will be IL feet high.
The car will have sides like a gon-
dola and will be filed with sacks
of sand to give it weight and mo-
mentum. This car will be run in

WORKING
Will Ship a Car Load Of Ore as
Soon as it Can be Gotten
Out.

Glenn T. Scott, Royal Aims
worth, Alvin Harden and A. w.
Ainsworth left Sunday for Gold
Hill where they will do develop
ment work on the Magnolia and
take out some of the ore A car
load will be sorted and sacked and
it is hoped by the owners, G. W.
and Glenn L. Scott. that they can
get into the property with teams
in about two months so that they
can bring it out to this point for
shipment to the smelters in Oma-
ha or Denver.
This property lies in the old
Gold Hill discoveries proper and
the assays run good in gold and
one or two other metals. They
expect to put in at least three or
four months of development work.
The car they will ship will be a
test car in one way and yet it is
known that a car of this ore will
run way over the expense of get
ting it out, shipping and smelling.
If some Of the other property
owners in Gold Hill would keep
working away at it, it would on
ly be a question of a short time
until that camp would again be
in the lime light to stay, for every
one knows that the goods are
there and all it needs is to go
down and get them.

The County Middle

Word comes from Rawlins that
Sheriff Hilands had been sworn
in and was serving court papers,
but that K. NJ. Horton, the outgo-
ing sheriff, was holding onto the
office and refusing to give it up.
Sheriff Hilands placed Horton
under arrest but allowed him his
liberty. Sheriff Hilands appoint
ed w. M. Mace deputy for Sara
toga, an appointment that meets
with general favor.
The new board of county COM
missioners had been organized,
with Earnest Sundin as chairman
but no appointment had been
made to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Jonathan Veitch.
A petition had been presented to
have a son of Veitch's appointed,
but the board would not consider
the matter on account of his age,
he being but % years old.
So far as we can learn all of the
rest of the new county officers
had been sworn in and had as
sumed their duties.

Friday evening, January LIST the
Independent Order of Fellows in
stalled their offices for the ensu-
Ing 6 months. The officers install
led were as follows: Frank White
Noble Grand, Warren g. Edwards
Vice Grand, G. Q. Kelley, Trea-
surer, and l.. Fl. Forde, Secretary.
After the ceremonies, Acting
Grand Sire of the World of L. o.
o. F., Hon. w. l.. Kuykendall
was accorded the grand honors
and a little latter in the evening
delivered an address to the lodge
on matters PERTAINING to Odd Eel
lowship. His talk was of his
characteristic style, direct to
the point, and it vas very much
appreciated by all the members.
Judge Kuykendall is a tourist of
no little fame, being one of Wyo-
mlngs' hrst citizens and Wyom-
ings' first improvised court Judge.
He has been an Odd Fellow for a
little over AZ years and as such
he has been a tireless worker and
through his efforts the lodges of
the state have come to the front
rapidly.
At the Convent on of the l. o.
O.. F. of the world in Denver, last
September he was elected Deputy
Grand Sire of that great body and
through the death of the late
Grand Sire, Judge j. l.. Nolan,
the full honors of Grand Sire
have fallen squarely on his cap
able shoulders. 1t is needless to say
that he will carry the full honors
through to the entire satisfaction
of this order as we'll as to his
chosen state.
Judge Kuykendall was appoint
ed Probate Judge by the legisla-
ture of Laramie County, Dakota,
in 1867, which at hat time CON-
prised the whole state Of Wyom-
ing as it now stands and served
| with honor and distinction in that
capacity.
To say hat Wyoming, as is
Saratoga, is proud of him is put
ting it mild. There is no more
capable man in the Odd Fellow
world and it is hoped that at the
end of this term he will be chosen
to fill the Office, in fact, for anoth-
er year as will undoubtedly be
done, at the annual convention at
Seattle. next September.

this on they will be appraised by
an officer or employee of the gov
eminent, and it will be sold to
the applicant at the appraised
price. The mode of procedure
will be as follows: First the ap-
plicant must personally examine
the land; present a sworn state
ment in duplicate, giving his es-
innate of the value of the land
and the value of the timber
separately, and deposit $40 as a
filing fee, The register and re.
ceiver will at once forward one
copy of the sworn statement of
the applicant to the chief of the
filed division having jurisdiction
of the land described, who will
make his report to the register
and receiver. Then some officer
or employee of the land depart
ment will inspect the land and fix
IA price on the timber and on the
land separately. The applicant
is then informed of the appraised
price of the land and that he
must, within 30 days deposit the
appraised price of both the land
and timber with the register and
receiver, after which the register
will fix the date, time and officer,
before whom the final proof is to
be made.
The applicant can object to the
appraisement, if he thinks it too
high and, by d~epositing a sum
not less than 500, to be fixed by
the register and receiver, have
the land re-appraised.

Mondell's Homestead Bill

An article under the caption
''The Dry Homestead Bill Tor
Western Settlers" which has APP
peared under a Washington date
line in some western newspapers,
and in others as editorial matter,
is full of misleading and inaccur-
ate statements relative to the 800
acre homestead bill.
In the first place, it gives large
credit to Senator Smoot, of Utah,
for the 800 acre homestead bill,
when as a matter of fact, the only
reason why such a bill is not the
law at this time is because the bill
as introduced by Congressman
Mondell, and passed by the house,
was defeated by having the Smoot
provision added. 1t was the
Smoot amendment that caused all
the trouble.
The article in question further
states that the bill of last winter
was defeated because it was
CLOSELY drawn" and ascribes the
opposition of Reeder, of Kansas,
and others, to the bill, to it's al
legged loosely drawn character
The fact that the bill as passed by
the house was very carefully
drawn, and in spite of the opposi-
ton of Reeder and Stephens and
men of that caliber it passed the
house by a majority of two to one
But when the house conference
committee submitted their report
to the house with the Smoot
amendment, the opposition was SO
strong to that amendment as to
not only defeated the adoption OF
the conference report but he also
defeated a motion to allow the bill
to be sent back to conference.
In spite of the numerous mac
uracies and misstatements in the
article in question, it is interest
ing inasmuch as it seems to indi
cate that some of those who op
pose the passage of the bill in tn
last session are preparing excuse
for supporting it with suggeste'
amendments. The only amend
ment needed to the bill is to ret
tore it to the form in which it wa
reported by Congressman MondeI
and passed the house, and thu
entirely eliminate the Smoc
