5 :( r 1 Prosperous Ronchwomcn. KniTon Hkuai.d: I would like tell the readers of your valuable paper of the very pleasant visit I made at the home and ranch of Mrs. Hood and daughter, Miss Addie, twelve miles north of us, last Sunday, returning Monday afternoon. Mrs. Hood and daughters arc ladies of tine intelligence, culture and refinement whom It Is an honor to call friends. Miss Addie is an expert pianist and has u first-class instrument and gave us fcome very fine Instrumental music. They took me Monday in their fine equipage over their extensive ranch, well stocked with thoroughbred cattle, and I was pleased to note tho excellent condition their stock is in in spite of the hard winter through which they have recently passed. Mrs. Hood told me they had not lost a head, which is remarkable when nearly every rancher has lost stock, some quite heavily. Hut the rigorous hardships of caring for stock through such cold, stormy weather as we have had so much of during the past winter, has sickened them of stock raising on so large a scale nnd they have concluded to dis pose of the most of their cuttle and then sell their hay instead of feed ing it, for although their ranch is all table laud with ravines, it produces large quantities of grass suitable to to make hay of, mostly wheatgrass. In conclusion I will say I had one of the most enjoyable of visits. Congenial friends! How much their companion ship is to be enjoyed and desired. Mits. E. ,T. Rkbveh. CLEMAN. Crowded over from lust week. Miss Ethel Covult will soon close her school in the Elsass district and return to her home near Clcman. Rev. Noyce spoke to the audience assembled at the Clemau school house Friday evening concerning u circulat ing library and an organization for its support. A meeting was culled for Tuesday evening, March 24, to discuss tho possibilities of organization. The Cleman school clo-ed Friday, March 20. A program was rendered in the evening, consisting of a vocal solo, duet, trio and choruses by the pupils and orchestral music by the Messrs. Cox-alt and recitations, essays, drills and tableux by the pupils. Hev. Noyce addressed the audience a few minutes before the close, briefly setting forth some of the work of the school and in addition presented the subject of con centration of thought. The program was presented to a goodly number of friends and patrons of the school who expressed themselves well pleased with its rendering and the progress of the pupils during this term of school. Some pupils were absent on account of the cold weather and sickness. These were Lottie Owen, Stella 1'etty, Don ald (Jraham and Madge Graham. Mary Covnlt and Willie Uraham made good grades in their final examinations. Their papers were graded by the teacher and approved by Hev. Noyce und are now forwarded to the county superintendent of Cheyenne county. The pupils wrote on the following sub jects: Mary Covalt, "The (treat West;" Willie Graham, "1'raKe a Fine Hay at Night." The shortness of time did not permit of their committing to memory their productions, so they were deliv ered as essays. A very unique number on the program was a wand drill in Greek costumes of white with tho addi tion of pretty colored sashes, blending harmoniously with thtf colored lights in the tableau at tho closo. It was given by five misses from twelve to fourteen years of ago. vW Low lintes West. $25.00 to I'ortlnnd, Tncomn and Se attle $37.30 to San Francisco and Lob An geles.
