PLEASED AT
THE OUTLOOK
lgasterners Astonished
at Extent of Park
Coal Beds.
Hope to Have Road into North
Park Sometime
Next Fall.
The party oy easterners who were in
the Park last week to look o\ er the coal
fields and to assertain the feelings of
of the people toward the building of the
L. 11. P&P. railroad into this section
returned to Laramie last Tuesday. Mr.
Miller says he found a very sensible
sentiment among the people in regard
to the building of the road.
As to the coal fields, the gentlemen
were both surprised and delighted. The
easterners which included Sect. Howe
of the Plains line, were shown about
the country by President Miller and
others who were familiar with the coun
try. They found the Kiach coal mine
wonder of the west.
Mr. Miller talked with some of the res
ideuts of the Park and leaves more than
ever impressed of the necessity of build
ing the Plains line into the Park. Work
is being pushed on the road as fast as
possible with the force at hand and men
and teams are wanted.
This road will mean a great deal to
North Park and everyone should do
can to help it along. It will
open away to market for cattle, coal,
hay and all other products to outside
i points and it is safe to say that the Park
j can turn out enough coal to supply the

Grazing Regulations Upheld.
Washington, Sept 17. —The fourth im
portant case won by the government on
the question whether it is a crime to vio
late the regulations cf the Secretary of
Agriculture has just boon decided in the
United States District Court held at
Deadwood, South Dakota, where Robert
13. Bale was found guilty of grazing tres
pass on the Black Ilill National Forest
and fined SIOO and costs, Mr. Bale at
once paid the line and was released.
The defendant is a stock owner res id
iug south of Rapids City and has had
about 150 head of cattle in and adjacent
to the Black Hills National Forest for
some years. When the range in the Nat
ional Forests was put under administra
tration in 1000 and the grazing fee sys
tem introduced, Mr. Bale refused to se
cure a grazsng permit or to remove his
cattle from the reserve.
After repeated efforts on the part of
local forest officers to persuade Mr. Bale
to remove his stock he was finally arrest
ed and in August 1000, was indited by
theU. S. Grand jury at Deadwood. The
trial of the case was delayed over two
terms of court by an effort to have the
case tried at Deadwood instead of Sioux
Falls and the case was not presented to
the jury until the 4th of Sept. The
court was prompt in overruling the def
eudaut’s demurrer attacking the const
ant ionality of the grazing regulations
and in reaching a decision the jury was
out only fifteen minutes.

Had Runaway.
Wm McCullough who is working for
W. L. Riddle during haying, was mixed
up in what at first looked like a serious
* runaway last week.
* He was driving a rake and in crossing
. a ditch the horses became frightened
and ran. Bill stayed with them for a
while but tne rake struck a bump and
threw him off in front of the rake, giv
' ing him a free ride in front of the teeth
* for a short distance and only his pres
. once of mind saved him from serious in
. jury.
It seems that lie had been there before
and know just what to do, so he stuck
* his head under the wheel, thus raising
* the rake so that it passed over him.
. In a case like this a big thick bead can
m be of great use to a person.
No damage was done.

Lion.
They were driving a bunch cattle when
the lion jumped out of a gully and start

but rafter nuiuiug a short distance he
turned and showed fight, when McAr
thur roped by \ the hind feet and Dng

Wonderfully Made.
A school teacher, after spending forty
five strenous minutes explaining the
mysteries of physiology to the primary
class, sounded their intelligent attention
I)}- asking the definition of vertibne. A
small and anxious boy on the back seat
arose and delivered the following:
“The vertabra* is a long wavy bone.
My head sits on one end of it and I sit
on the other."—Saturday Evening Post.
A police had just passed.
Dozens of people were upon the side
walk.
And yet I could havesworn that some
thing passed mo in the hall of the ten

My nerves were in excellent condition,
the hosipital people having told me that
morning that I was all right now and
not to bother about supplement animals
And yet I was certain — 1 knew —that
something, heaven knows what, had
silently glided past me in the hall.
I endeavored to whistle some foolisli air

think it was—but my lips were dry.

A shadow seemed to pass me, but this

Was it really flesh and blood?
It looked like a woman.
I touched the form with a trembling

foolish enough question, but my nerves
were jumping.

Too Many Toots.
A women on a train entering Grand
Rapids asked the conductor how long
the cars stopped at Union station.
11c replied: “Madam, we stop just four
minutes, from two to two, to two two.”
The woman turned to her companion
and said: “I wonder if be thinks lie’s the

One of the questions asked him was,
I “who are the men who have given you
i the most trouble?
His answer was, “The list is not very
large but we are busy preparing a warm
reception for J P. Morgan and John D.
Rockefeller and I will only have time to
mention a few.
Moses landed squarely on iny jaw
with his decalogue, aud that is in real
ity how he broke the tables of stone.
It broke me up some, but as nobody ex
cept the Jews took him seriously, I soon
recovered.
My kingdom was assailed in turn by
Budda, Brahama, Confucious, and Christ
but with the exception of the latter none
os them did me any great harm. By es
tablishing a universal religf.ou applica
ble to all nations, and proclaiming the
brotherhood and equality of man, Jesus
of Nazasetli threatened to put me out of
business. But I contrived to get up a
war among his desciples over non-esson
tials, and split them up into factions
over baptism,aud election and predest
ination and original sin and ex per
imeutal religeou and communion and
confession and a lot of other fool quibbles
and have bad small concern since. It
was comparatively easy to adulterate,
pervert and corrupt, until there are few
churches today that would care to have
a fearless, truth telling, sin killing, plu
tocracy-hating, democratic Christ in
their pulpits.
If professed Christians could bo induc
ed to unite, practice the precepts of the
Nazurene, pray, work, and vote for just
ice and liberty they could make the
gates of hell tremble. But there is no
danger.

Did You See It?
On Weusday evening about 9 o'clock
as the moon was shining brightly from
the southeast there appeared over in the
northwest a most beautiful rainbow
This is something rare, seeing a rainbow
by the light of the moon.
Now you may think 1 was seeing
things but I have a number of witnesses
and can prove it was there.
