X. T. Wood Buys Residence.

County Commissioner X. T. Wood
the first of the week contracted for the
purchase from Mrs. X. A. Mckee of
her residence ut the corner of First
ana Spring streets, consisting of two
story house, several barns and other
ou~tbuildings and four lots. the prop
erty being just across the alley south
from the Wolf Hotel.
MIR. Wood recently disposed of his
ranch up the river IL had lately been
II little undecided as to where he would
reside i'll the future, and it is very graf
lfy1ng to the business men of the town
that he has decided to purchase ii home
here. He contemplates some important

old barns and sheds and erect more

and he considered it much more desir-
state money alone.
From here to Encampment, he said,
the conditions We're somewhat different,
II he believed that at least one sec
ton of a few miles would require
heavy and permanent construction, and
that federal aid would be asked on that
project. while the balance of the dis
lance would be worked rs a state pro-
ject, as from Saratoga to Walcott.
The principal problem confronting
valley people at this time, he said,
would be providing the right of way for
the highway. which must be furnished
free TO the state, as none of the high
way bond money car be expended in
purchasing ~rights-of-way. This will
probably not be IA difficult matter. as
any ~land-owRer should be glad to have
n highway such as is contemplated
pass through or e his land. Mr..
Sevison stated that he believed the
land along the highway would be in
creased in value by 100 per cent, and
that in some cases coming to his know
ledge the increase i'll value had been
much greater.
After the meeting, Engineer Sevison,
at the request of County Commissioner
X. T. Wood, inspected the county
! bridge across the Platte here. with II
i view to estimating to what extent the
structure could be lowered and at what
approximate cost. The commissioners
have discussed this question to some
extent, and expect to have a bridge
builder come here this spring to look
the proposition over. Mr.. Seyison was
of the opinion that h bridge could be
lowered from 3 to 3h feet to good adj
vantage. and that the cost probably
would not be prohibitive. He also vol
unteered to send one of the states
bridge experts here to make an esti-
mate as to the expense of lowering it.

last night, attended by h engineers,

An official estimate of the number
of cases of influenza in Cheyenne was
made a few days ago by DIR. w. a. wy
man, county physician, who said that
since the present outbreak occurred
there had been at least a thousand
cases of the malady in the city. and
that there are between $50 and 300 I'M

Not a single death has been reported
as a result OF influenza alone, he says.
There have been seven deaths caused
by pneumonia contracted following the
influenza and two or three deaths from
pneumonia alone without the influ-
ems entering into the calculations.

who. with District Engineer II. V. New

for a few hours yesterday. They

was also accompanied by ]. NJ. CONFESS.

succeeding David II. Houston who, on
the SAME day, became Secretary of the
Treasury. Mr.. Houston had beer Sec
rotary of Agriculture since March ),
1913.
Secretary Meredith has been identi-
hed with the farm, in one way and an
other, all his life. He was brought up
on n farm. Within IA short time after
he left college. he began the publication
of an agricultural paper in Iowa and
has been engaged continuously since in
that kind of work. He was born at
Avoca, Iowa, and was educated at
Highland Park College, Des Moines.
In 1917 he was appointed by the Sec
rotary of the Treasury a member of the
Board of Excess Profits Advisors. He
has served some years past as a di-
rector of the Chicago Federal Reserve
Bank, and he is president of the .Associ-
ated Advertising Clubs. of the World.
MIR. Meredith had made arrangements
to come to the Platte valley last fall
with Messrs. Igo, Ruffcorn and other
Des Moines men who purchased farm
land. in this vicinity, and it was at
that time n foregone conclusion that
MIR. Meredith was to take over one of
the large ranches of this section which
had e inspected and passed upon
by his agents, and it only lacked his
presence here to complete the deal.
He was prevented from coming, how
ever, by urgent work for the govern
