Large Timber Drive

Andrew Olson General Manager
and F. @. Hunter Auditor Of the
Carbon Timber Go. have just re-
turnde from a trip to the Encamp-
ment tie camp where they have
been inspecting conditions relative
to the tie drive that is to be brot
down the Encsmpment river this
summer. They are very we'll sat-
isfed with the way everything
has been handled by Osea Nelson
the superintendent at the tie camp
and are all ready for business just
as soon as the water is high
enough to float the timber.
They expect to bring out alto.
gether about a million pieces. The
contract with the Union Pacific
expires this year and a new con.
tract will in all probability be
made. Owing to the government
charges for timber it will require
a much larger price on a new con-
tract as the former contract wal
made before the reserves were il
force.-Encampment Herald.

Drowned at ~Encampment

Encampment, Wyo. April 49,
One of the most distressing acct
dents which has ever happened in
this locality took place Sunday
evening, when four little boys
drowned in the city reservoir.
The unfortunate lads were two
sons of Mrs. Thomas Madden and
two OF Arthur Ferry.
The four youngsters who were
fast friends, went to the reservoir
about 8 o'clock Saturday evening
to play around the banks. About
thirty minutes after a man passing
along the reservoir discovered two
objects floating at the intake and
was Mortified to discover that the
objects were the corpses of two
children, He hastily removed
them from the water and gave the
alarm.
A large crowd soon rushed to
the reservoir and physicians did
everything possible to resusticate
the little forms, but without sue
cess.
A search for the other two BOYS
resulted in the finding of their
coats and sweaters ON the bank
neal the intake ditch it was too
evident from the first that they too
had drowned like their companions.
The reservoir was drained as soon
as possible and in the mud at the
bottom were the other two lifeless
little forms They e found
about $50 and brot to shore rs
soon as possible.
The details of the disaster will
never be known. Three of the
boys had taken off their coats and
sweaters while the fourth was fully
clad. This would indicate that
one had waded beyond mis- depth
in the intake and the others had
gone to his assistance only to
drown with him. Still it is not
exclaimed why two of the bodies
sank. All of the lads who lost
their lives were between the ages
of 5 and 7 years and known to
practically every one in the town.
The tragedy casts a gloom over the
entire town.
The Madden boys are sons of
Thomas Madden, who a few weeks
ago died from the effects of eating
poisoned candy.

me tell you something. Don't worry
about the fellows who are against you.
Under the primary system they are
scattered far and wide. Don't get any
gay hal s over them. That won't do
you any good. To win them over you
will be wasting time and energy and
breath, because the chances are you
won't win them, anyway. If they are
against you for personal reasons-that
is, if they are personal enemies, or op-
pose you for political cause.-the
chances are they will vote against
you. Let 'em alone. But go where
your friends are. Go where your votes
are Keep them sure. They're yours.

CHEESE AT THE WHITE. HOUSE
Many of Immense Size Have Been
Sent as Presents to Chief
Executives.

Every president receives numberless
presents during the course of term,
notwithstanding it is given out that
gifts are not acceptable. In the old
days some of the presents sent were
OF a very odd nature. President Jack
son once got a cheese four feet in di-
ameter and two feet thick, weighing
l,40O pounds, from New York
cheesemaker, who wanted to show
what he could do. This cheese gift
was an elephant on the presidents
hands, and in order to dispose of it he
held a special reception, to which the
public was invited, and every guest
not only had all the cheese he wanted
to eat on the spot, but received hunk
to carry home. In two hours there
was nothing but the rind left to tell
the story.
President Jefferson was also the re-
cipient OF an historic cheese, brought
to him all the way from Massachusetts
by siX-horse team. On the wagon
was the legend: The Greatest Cheese
in America, for the Greatest Man in
America" Jefferson, however, was
noted for his simplicity" and he
thought it was opposed to good govern
ment for president to receive gifts
from anyone, so he insisted on pay
Ing the cost of the cheese, which was
about 5000, and this cheese lasted all
winter
President Van Buren,, too, had
monster cheese given to him. He dis
tributed it at reception and the
guests in their excitement split lot
of crumbs on the carpet and then
trampled them in, causing so much
damage that unlimited cheese at the
White House functions was tabooed
from that time forth. The rule now is
that nothing in the eating line espe-
clally will be received by the presi-
dent from those unknown.-Th Path
