The traveling salesman for the Platt

that ho made a trip to Centennial just
previous to coming to Walden, and
while there he visited the grading camp
of the Laramie, Hahn's Peak and Pacific
Railroad company, which is extending
its road from Centennial into the Park.
They are working 50 teams on this grade
ho states, and are paying big wages and
offering various inducements to secure
a larger number of workmen and teams.
The grade will ho completed as far as
possible before winter sets in and in
the spring tho work will he completed
and tho rails laid.
The corps of surveyors, who liavo fin
islied the preliminary survey and are
now cross sectioning, will move their
camp from tho vicinity of the American
mine to Chimney park.

for the Medicine Bow reservo, vice Shep
N. Hosted, resigned, J. A. McNamara
and Newton G. Bellaires, forest rangers,
were in Walden Saturday, Mr. Wheeler
having come in from his headquarters
at Estes Park byway of Middle Park.
I Lis time was limited and he left Sunday
for Fort Collins on his way home.
This is Mr. Wheeler’s first trip into
tho Park since resuming the duties of
his office, but ho expects to ho hero as
frequently as time can he taken for the
trip. Ho is a thoroughly efficient for
ester, having had charge of the Monte
zuma reserve before his appointment to
tho Medicine Bow reserve, and it is safe
to predict that his administration of af
fairs will not only be satisfactory to the
government but to thestockmon as well.
Mr. Wheeler states that considerable
work on this reserve is well under way,
a new trail and cattle driveway being
constructed across by tho Poudre lakes
into Middle Park, and a telephone line
along the trail, probably now completed
will prove of much value to users of the
trail.
Mr. Wheeler impresses those with
whom lio comes in contact as a man
who understands his work, broadminded
and competent to deal with questions
that might arise in a manner that will
leave no room for complaint in the mind
of£iny fair person. He is a man of bus
iness, and it is to be hoped the people of
the Park, especially thoso using the for
est reserves, will have an opportunity to
become acquainted with him.

MARKET LETTER
Denver Union Stock Yards, Aug. 20—
Recoigpts of cattle last week wore not
as heavy as the proceeding week and
prices advanced about a quarter on good
grades. The demand was better than
the supply and and the market closed in
fine shape.
Beef steers were scarce and nothing
very choice on hand. Good 1,200-lb
Idaho steers sold at $4.05 to $1.75, with
bulk of tho fair to good killing steers of
fered at $4 to $4.50. Cows were wanted
if good and best ones moved well at
higher prices, but common cows contin
ue dull. Some fancy western Colorado
heifers sold today at $1.15, but best
western grass cows last week sold at
$3.55 and hulk of tho fair to good grades
ranged from this down to $2.85. Com
mon cows sold all the way down to $1
Bulls were in good demand at stordy
prices. Veal calves firm to a shade
higher, tops now selling up to SO.
Feeder and stocker trado very quiet,
as supply last, week was extremely light
The demand for good heavy steers was
strong but packers picked up everything
tit to kill and buyers could get very few
to go to the country. Choice light stock
ers are also in good demand but common
steers still a little dull as demand is lim
ited for those at all markets.
Receipts of cattle today were very
good and prices steady to a little strong
or.
Railroad From Granby.
Ray Riddle, typo at the New Era office
made a trip to Granby Sunday, return
ing Tuesday. Ile says Granby is a wide
awake little place and the talk there is
that in the near future a railroad will In*
built into the Park from that point.
Two surveys have boon made to the j
top of Willow pass and it is claimed that
hut one |H*r cent grade will bring the j
road to the top of the pass. The Rocky
Mountain railroad is behind this pro '
ject.

Denver yesterday via the Moffat road.
Mr. Hoover states that a petition is be
ing circulated thiough tho park to have
a trl-weekly mail route established from
Rami to Granhv, connecting with the
Walden-Rand stage line. Such a line
would be of great benetft to the people
of the Park and it is hojied that the line
will ho established.
Michigan Ditch Party.
Geo. E. Bcrmont. John IJpsey, John
Jennings, and O. A. Spaulding, of La

Prospect of Work.
Charles Matzinger, who was in here
yesterday from Pearl, states that Ross
Willford, of that place, is in receipt of
letters from Mr. McGuire, president of
flu? Zirkle Mining company, and W. L.
Culbertson, of tho Swede group, ask in
for information concerning the pump
ing out of the mines, ami intimating
that they would wish this done short ly
to allow experts to examine the proper
ties, with n Gew to resuming develop
ment work.
It is to he hoped that work will be re
suiued in Pearl, as it seems too bad that :
such promising copper properties as e.\
ist in that camp should lie idle.
FINEST OF
BUTTER
North Park Creamery
Turning out Al
Product.
Everything is Scrupulously
Clean and Butter Hus
Fine Flavor.
Every process in the making of North
Park creamery hut,ter is attended with
all the care and cleanliness the most
scrupulous housewife could demand,
and in consequence the product of the
creamery is of t he purest, and the flavor
is unequalled by any creamery Jthis far
west. Already the demand is far great
er than thesupply, and it is safe to say
that every new customer is another
booster for North Park creamery putter.
The design of the cartons for the but
ter is quite neat and attractive, one feat
lire being a North Park haying scene,
taken from a photograph. As the milk
cows here are almost entirely fed on hay
the picture is exceedingly appropriate.
A representative of this paper spent
nearly half a day at the creamery, while
Manager MePheetors was churning,
washing, working, molding and pack
ing the butter. The entire process is at
tended with such scrupulous cleanliness
that this alone,leaving out the quality of
the butter, would recommend its use.

James L. Clark, of St Ijouis, won the
tlrf-l prize In a contest for the hast defin
ition of love, instituted by Sam F. Wool
aid of Wichita. Kan. The prize was a

regardless of personality, beauty, sta
tion, object, condition, wealth or pov

The Very Idea!.
Roy l’oitner, Davis Barkley, and Nate
