About the tlmosnow Hies again in northern Wyoming the town -of Sheridan will have railroad communication vith the outside world. The B. & M. has lot the contract for grad ing the roadbed from the Powder river to Sheridan , a uistanco of about fifty miles , and the work will bo pushed with n view to hav ing the extension ready for operation in Sep tember or nt the latest In October. The lluo has boon graded from Ulllctto to Powder river , a distance of forty miles , nnd about ten miles of track have boon Ironed. But for the bad weather the line would have been In operation to the rlvor by the middle of Juno , and on effort will yet bo made to have It opened by that time. Chief Engineer Ulllotto and Captain Palmer nro reported to have laid out auditions to tbe town of Sheridan , and n real estate boom is now looked for.

Tlio hondijuar- tors of the company are at Omaha and will remain there. Nothing short of nn net of congress would Induce the company to moke tbo change.
