Hahn's Peak to be Extended

1t is reported that the construc-
ton work on the Laramie, Hans
Peak & Pacific railroad will be re-
sumed the first of next month.
All winter gangs have been work
ing on the tunnels, and a great
amount of this work has been COM
pleted. The road has already been
extended to the coal fields of north
western Colorado, and it is the in
tention to build it into Steamboat
Springs, Craig, Meeker and Ran
gely.
Large shipments of coal are be-
ing received daily from the Colo

Coalmont by the Union Pacific.
Since the opening of traffic the
mines have been working to cap.

WARNING TO SHEEPMAN
Herders must be able TO Recognize the
Woody Aster Plant-eo per cent Of
losses are from Poison Plants

The Woody Aster is known to
be poisonous and has been caus-
ing great losses all over the state.
The Wyoming Experiment Stat
ion has sent out warnings thru
the press every spring for three
years, and it is hoped fockmasters
will become familiar with the hab-
its of this plant and not Craze
sheep where it thrives.
The Woody Aster is commin in
most parts of the state. 1t thrives
best upon the saline gumbo clays,
snd because of the healthy green
color of the foliage, sheep herders
often bring their hocks to feed up
on the Aster patches. Too much
caution cannot be exercised during
the spring months TO guard again
st losses from this plant. The
percentage of losses of sheep act
ually poisoned is very high, and
at present no remedy is known.
OF the total annual loss of sheep
in the state, it is estimated that
from go to 10 has been due to
poisonous plants, and the remain
der largely to coyotes. This
means, from the assessed valua
ton of sheep in Wyoming, that
there is an approximate loss from
poison us plants of about $1,000.
600 annually. Fully nine-tenths
of the losses from poisonousplants
are traceable directly to Woody
Aster.
If you are not familiar with the
appearance of the Woody Aster,
correspond with the Wyoming
Experiment Station, Laramie,
Wyoming. Do this now if you
wish to lessen your losses. Be-
come familiar with the plant;
teach your sheep herders to know
the plant and shun the Aster pat
ches as they would the plague.
Careleseness in this regard upon
the part of the herder should b.
reprimanded. Careleseness upon
the part of the hockmaster spells
financial loss.

He was in such low condition that,
while my wife or L a with him

many questions and as a result
we are without the names of the

him though my recollection is

Hogs a Factor In Wyoming

Omaha, Neb,, March, 21-Wyo-
ming topped the hog market today,
something that probably never &C.
Cured before in the history of the
market. Messrs. Waegel & Todd
Bros, of Clearmont, sent in a load
of Poland Chinas of their own
breeding and feeding that average
ed 259 pounds and brought S6S 5
This is the highest price paid here
since last September aud it seems
rather strange that this figure
should go to Wyoming which here
tofore has been a liberal producer
of high grade cattle, but has not
been very prominent as a pork
producing state. There was moth
ing in the appearance of the ami
mails, however, to Indicate that
they were other than Nebraska OF
Iowa hogs as they were a breedy
looking lot, fairly fat aud uniform
in size and a mixed ration of al.
falfa, corn and barley had given
them a very good finish.

Death Of Little Pauline Havs

Little Pauline Hays, the eldest
child of Mr.. and Mrs. W. P. Havs
OF this place, died at noon last
Friday of laryngitis She had been
SICK not to exceed 36 hours, and
her death was a great shock to
not only her parents, but to every
one The funeral services took
place at the residence Monday at
$3.50 p. M, Rev. Hamilton official
ing and the remains were inferred
in the city cemetery. The little
white casket, covered with frag.
rant lilies of the valley, carna.
tlons and American beauties, both
read and white, was indeed a fit
resting place for the dear little
form that seemed to be gently sleep
ing Music was furnished by Mrs.
Dyer, Miss Hamilton, Mr. Pearson
MIR. Huntington, Mr.. Clark, with
Mrs. Gustave Jensen presiding at
the piano 1t was quite touching.
Little Pauline May Hays would
have been three years of age the
LIST day of next May. She was n
of those particularly bright, low
ing, little children, who make
friends with every one and who
seem to take it for granted that
every one is their friend. She
was a most beautiful child aud her
pretty, winning ways won all heart
and made devoted slaves of her
friends. 1t in not possible to
write of her, or think of her as
anything but one of the dearest
little things that ever came into
being, just human enough not to
be an angel, and angelic enough
to be more than human. The
memory of her dear little presence
will linger with US all while time
lasts and grow sweeter and nor
fragrants as the days pass by.
The announcement of her death
shocked every one and there was
II very large crowd at the house
during the funeral ceremonies,
every one being DESTROYS of show
ing their love for the child and
their respect and esteem for the
parents. One rarely ever knew
the death of a little child to call
forth such universal regret and
such general sympathy as that of
little one who has just left US.

WASHINGTON LETTER
ssnatcr Warren After Public Land for
Western States to Build Coed Roads
from Revenue Of Leasing

Washington, March (spl.)-A
GOOD roads measure to meet with
a welcome reception from the
p4ople of Wyoming and the west
is that introduced by Senator
Warren. The bill grants to each
| Of the public land states 1000, 0OC
acres of land suitable for grazing
only, the land to be leaspd by the
states mt an annual rental of moi
more than ten cents per acre, in
AREAS not larger than $40 acres to
each individual or citizen for not
more than five years with the ex-
| ceptinn of one cent per acre, for
the lands leased, which is to be
paid the government, the money
| realized from rentals is to be ex.
pended upon public roads. If en-
acted. the Warren bill would en-
| able the states to realize a large
sum for road building purposes,
from sources now yielding no re-
venue to either state to realise,
from sources not now yielding re-
venue to either state or national
government. Title to the lands
would remain in the government.
but administration would be in
the hands of the states.
During the debate on the agri-
cultural appropriation bill, Rep
resentative Mondell made a st1cug
effort to include an item of $4,000
for the purchase of seed for Wyo-
ming dry farmers, but the demo-
cratic majority voted it down.
Mr.. Mondell called attention to a
similar act during grasshopper
times in Iowa and other states, as
justifable precedent for the relief
of these settlers, and male a strong
plea for the courageous men and
women who are subdueing the
arid west, out was in the minority.
Senator Warren has again taken
up with the secretary of the In
terror the matter of automobiles
in the Yellowstone park, with a
view 10 bringing about this much
desired order as soon as possible.
1t is realized til, t until many mar
row places in the roads are WIDEN
ed 1t will be impossible to permit
autos to travel over certain sec
tons of the park roadways, and
the changes necessary are expen-
slve aud will require considerable
time. Realizing the Importance of
this subject to the people of Wvo-
ming, the members of the Wyom-
ny delegation are overlooking no
move here calculated to help it
along.
