have at present For some time eff
forts have been made to secure a
contract with the Cashdollar inter-
ests, and just recently Mr.. Witte re-
ceived the confirmation of the con-
tract. A force of men are now at
work on the connecting link which

as to when the work will be COM
pleted, Mr. Witte states it will be
within very few days. Mr.. Witte
has been doing all within his power
to supply gas during the present
cold snap. Every we'll that the
company has is turned into the lines,
and he and his workmen have been
going the rounds of the wells to
thaw out any that may be frozen in.
The announcement that we are to
have more gas, is the best news we
have had for a long time. since the
recent cold weather with the gas
shortage, has been keeniy felt

vestigating the Boys Industrial In
stitute at Worland, the Hot Springs
State reservation, the State Peniten-
tiary in this city and the State hos
pital at Rock Springs, reported the
latter part Of last week to the presi-
dent Of the Senate and the speaker
OF the House.
The report on the ~penitentdary is
as follows:
This institution, located at Raw
Inns. is one Of the Oldest of the
States institutions, and therefore
the most difficult to keep in repair.
The interior is sadly In need of
paint and W. recommend that this
be attended to at once.
While the institution Is crowded
to capacity at the present time, this
condition will be relieved at an
early date. or as Don as the new
building at Worland is completed
and ready for occupancy.
We would recommend that the
warden be supplied at onde with
necessary kitchen furnishings, such
as stove, utensils, broilers, etc., for
which he has made requisition. Also
that covering be supplied for steam
pipes in various parts of the build
ings.
There is urgent necessity for a
vault for the safekeeping Of records,
files and valuables coming into the
hands of the warden.
We would pronounce the new
shirt factory a model in every par
ticular. 1t is a perfect plant in re-
spect to light, heat. ventilation, and
designed in its appointments for the
highest efficiency.
