home promptly and on time.
Gene is doing some good work re-

John, no use talking.
Hon. F. g. Hunter, E. Il. Tyler,
Mrs. Olson and Mrs. Kinley met
No. II in Hanna Saturday at ASS
a. m. and obtained by express
10000 young fish to be planted in
the several mountain streams
about here. They we're brook

Laramie ~hatcheries, accompanied
by a representative of the State
Fish Commissioner.
Evidently Elk Mountain is be-
coming very metropolitan or
its people are sadly in need of
religious teaching, for services
were held in the church and in
the hall Sunday evening at the
same hour. Looks like some one
is trying to make trouble. The
community is not large enough to
support one church and keep it in
a healthy condition. Let us have
one or the other.

Laramie People Here.

Friday night two cars came in
from Laramie bringing the lead
ing men of the Laramie Celebra-
ton Committee. Among them
were Peter Smart, John Ernest,
and VIM. McCune. These men
were out looking for race horse
people to help fill the entries and
help make the celebration. These
men are live wires and they will
certainly show the people a splen-
did time. They have about $1,000
in race prizes, besides McCarty
and Gilford's Wild West Show,
which will give n big exhibition.
The railroads will give reduced
fare for the round trip. The cele-
bIation takes in 3 days, July 2, 3,

Goth of June. There are Is dis

forward to having a representative
here on that date from each dis

plans for the entertainment OF
their guests and especially owing
to the fact that Carrie C.. Van
Orsdale, of Portland, Ore, the
Grand Guardian of the Pacific Jur-

part in the convention. The SEES.

Fire at walcott.

Sunday afternoon the u. P. de-
pot at Walcott caught fire from a
passing engine and burned to the
ground. Very little was saved
from the freight house, which
ormed a part of the building.
How much of the office fixtures,
tickets, ETC., were saved is a mat
ter of speculation. Unquestion-
ably the U. P. will at once start
re- construction and will probably
build a better building, although
nothing definite has been given
out. There is considerable bust
ness done at this point of the
road, it being the junction of the
S. b E. of this valley and for this
reason we look for a much better
building than the one which was
burned down.
Ralph Campbell was up here
from Walcott and by some man
ner got the information that his
store was on fire. He jumped in
his car and made a "a minute run
to hal place. Mr.. Campbell said
that bad it not been for the dyna-
mite in a freight car back of the
depot, they would have saved con-
siderable more stuff from the
building its self, but they started
to carry the powder away to get il
safe in order that the town woulC
not be blown up, and by the time
that was accomplished, the depo

ley to Walcott and on out to Gas
per. 1t will connect with the
Moffat road at Hayden and the B
d M. at Casper. The only real
reason that seems possible for
such a move, would be by some
company who is interested in both
the Casper oil fields and the coal
fields of Colorado. The report
has been widely circulated and
seems to come from good authori-
ty in some instances although as
far as this paper is concerned, we
can only give il to our readers as
it comes to us.

Ful thing for this section of the

from what point it came or
here it went, although the most

Aurora Back to Tasmania With Three

Six Members Were Left.

Hobart Tasmania, March 15.-The
Antarctic exploration ship Aurora re-
turned here yesterday with "a out Of
the 80 members of the expedition COM
manded by DR.. Douglas Mawson. The
Aurora will remain here until the An
antartic spring and then proceed to
Adelaideland to bring home DR.. Nav
son and five other members Of his
party who have ample supplies of food
to last them until they are relieved.
OF the original party, Lieut.. B. E. S.
MINIS of the royal fusil1iers, and DR..
Xavier Merz. died Nin the polar regions.
The officers Of the Aurora say there
were unable to embark DR.. Mawson's
party owing to hurricane and to have
waited longer in the south would have
endangered the lives of DR.. Wilde and
his sledging party of eight men, who
were on dan gerous glacier waiting to
be taken off before the sea froze again.
They were rescued Feb. %. Then
owing to the lateness Of the season,
the Aurora was obliged to hurry back
to Hobart as she was running short OF
provisions. Dr. Wilde took possession
on behalf Of Great Britain Of all of the
coast Of Kaiser Wilhelm land to the
101st degree east longitude and named
it King George the fifth land.

NAVAL VESSELS
USE MUCH FUEL OIL
The Use of Substitute For Coal in
Ships of the Navy Has Increased
aE Six Million Gallons.

Washington, D. c., March 15.-Naval
officials estimate that at the end Of
the present fiscal year twenty million
gallons Of fuel oil will have been con-
sumed in naval vessels or six million
gallons more than was used last year
and more than three times the amount
used in 1911. These figures are con-
sidered important as indicating that
the amount to be consumed during the
fiscal year 1914 will reach total of
thirty million gallons, or an increase
of five hundred per cent in three
years. Already six battleships and
twenty destroyers are burning oil and
this number will be increased by two
battleships and eight destroyers next
year. In addition to the many ad-
vantages which naval experts claim for
oil as fuel. it is pointed out that the
United States is the only great nation
in the world with an almost inexhausti-
