Camp Weujngton, Rocky Springs Canyon, San DeCristo Ranoi, Rocky Mountains, January, 1880, Luke Herring, Wellington, This is Monday morning. We have just had breakfast and are now getting guns and amunition ready for a tramp over the mountains. We were surprised this morning by a six iach snow, and -it is still falling. We have killed no game yet, but have seen plenty of deer. Have learned the lay of the country, and each man is pledged for a deer to-day.

We have been constitutionally hungry ever since we struck camp, and the cook is the most highly complimented man in the party. This is my last day with the skillet. Smith serves his tnrn to-morrow and Wednesday. Haughey has already served his two days in that capacity. Bacon and beans are a luxury down here and we use them for desert.

We have had no fresh meat yet, and Smith remarked, with a sigh, yesterday, that perhaps we ought to have brought more meat along. We all reminded him that we expected to live on deer. Davis and I saw a nice flock of five, and had two good shots, but only scared them. Smith saw a large black-tailed buck Saturday and forgot that he had a gun with him. He was only fifty feet away.

The mountains here Are grand and high. The snowy range is plainly seen seventy-five miles away, RDd Pike's Peak is dimly visible from the mountain tops. It is one hundred and twenty-five miles to the north. The canyons are dark and deep and full of bear dens; but. as yet, we have seen no bear.

We have a spring lied in the shape of cedar bows, spread thick on the ground and so we sleep on a bed of emerald beneath a canopy of snow. The air is light and crisp and has a tendency to sharpen appetite. Yesterday we remained in camp all day Smith read to us one of Talmage's sermons and we all enjoyed it. We are 18 miles from settlement and not a human being within that distance except ourselves. We have no idea yet when we will return.

We will tarry here until our beards are grown. Haughey and Davis are wearing theirs Horace Greeley style. Smith is the funny man and has the high seat says he is a little sore in the jo nts and wants us all to agree to make for camp atone o'clock. Spears is the tiredest man in camp. He burnt his hand on the coffee pot Saturday and has been off duty since then.

Davis says he wants the next blister. The only strife in camp is the struggle for front seats at meal time. We greased our boots this morning with beaverrind, and voted unanimously not to wash the dishes again it is too hard ou our hands. Only one man in camp has washed Ins face since we hoisted our tent, and under threats of expulsion has agreed not to be so rash again. Smith has a black grease spot down one side of his face and Ilaughey's hands look like large, black kid gloves he calls it sun-burn.

We may not get to report again soon. Will send our guide to town to-day with and for the mail. He will not return until Thursday. Mail will reach us at Raton, N. care of Railroad Hotel.

Yours in Haste, Edmund Frantz, Correspondent for the party. A Tough Customer. For a stubborn, unruly brute, McCul ly, the man who assaulted Judge Mn-nett, at Conway, takes the cake. To-day he would not walk from the jail to Justice Cox's oflice, and had to be taken thereon a dray, Then ho would not walk up-stairs, and when Mngee and Brown nabbed him and attempted to force him up, be threw himself all in a heap and foiled them. Just about that time Elsie Thralls and one or two more got a good grip an him, and with their aid, he was hustled up in a hurry and no particular pains were taken to prevent his ugly head from being bumped as be was dragged along.

After he was gotten up-stairs he made half-a-dozen ineffect ual breaks for the door, and finally grabbed a chair to strike Elsie Thralls, who at once struck him and knocked him down. He was then handcuffed, and the trial begun. Six or eight witnesses were examined, who recited the particulars of the assault udge Monnett. After the testimony had all been given S(uire Cox bound the prisoner over under $1,000 bond far appearance in the district court. An noted before he refuses to hive anything to do with a lawyer, and when asked if he bad any defense he stated that he "didn't want to have anything to do with the He was accordingly ordered back to jail.

As the crowd was leaving the room he made tbem a short speech, breathing vengeanse on all who had crossed hia path, and declaring that if he had his gun he could clean out the crowd of thtra in a hurry. refused to walk a step aad was carried down stairs and again loaded on a dray. Leo and Jarrett of Caldwell were the only meu who could handle him and thty did it in a way that showed they knew their business.

The two ladies were invited to spend the evening ut Mr. Stettler's and the visiting friends gathered at Geo. Hunter's residence. About eight o'clock, armed with lunch baskets and two handsome household volumes, the company marched over to Mr. Stetler's.

An evening of social enjoyment and an excellent lap supper followed. Mrs. Judge Herrick presented the books with the following words: Mrs. Carey and Mm. Sprague: I have two duties laid upon me by the members of this congregation one a painful, sad one, and the other a pleasant office.

It is mv painful duty to voice in a limited degree the regret of this congregation that you ladies are so soon to leave us. "Sorrowing most of all that we are to see your faces no more." We shall miss your cheerful, helpful faces in the Sunday School, in the congregation, in the prayer and social meeting and in our ladies' society. We are thankful that you have lived with us, even this short time, and that especially during this past year you have been one of us. I think that the thirty-three signers of the modern declaration of independence will always have a feeling for one another that time and change cannot wholly We have been glad of your counsel and help as we have journeyed through the wilderness by way of the Red Sea, following the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night. And now as 'your path toward the promised land leads you another way, leaving us here, we hope that you and yours, as well as those of us who are left, may be enabled to say: My Jesus, as thou wilt.

All shall be well with me; Each changing future scene I gladly trust to thee. Straight to our home above We travel calmly on, And sing in life or death, My Lord, Thy will bo done." As you make your home in other places "May the Lord be merciful unto you and bless you, and cause his face to shine uuon you." As you become interested in other churches and other societies, audi know you must, may yeiu alway keep a warm corner in your hearts for your friends in Wellington. And now this is the pleasant part of my duty. For fear you might forget us we all join in presenting to you these small tokens of our affection. We hope as you look over these pages from time to time it may be at lit'rt with feelings of weariness and homesickness, and we hope after awhile with peace and contentment that you may have nothing but pleasant thoughts of us; and as we have so often sung together "Blest be the tie that binds us," now we say to you and yours, "God be with you till we meet again."

From the best sources obtainable we learn that a new proposition is now being drawn up, which will include at least six of the nine organized companies, and that its terms and provisions will be so adjusted as to conform to the ideas expressed by individual members of the council, and that there is but little doubt that it will be carried. The new proposition, as we understand it, wiil differ from the former, in that it will absolutely guarantee the city from any possible loss.

That the city shall issue bonds and take stock in the companies making the proposition, and that after the stock is issued the companies shall each purchase back the city's stock, paying therefor exactly what it cost. That the city shall accept in payment for the stock corporation notes, each secured by an exclusive mortgage on the different plants. As the plants will each cost $10,000 the note and the mortgage would surely bo ample security. This we deem a perfectly fair proposition and we most earnestly desire to see it carried out and the election called. The city will have considerable taxable property added to its rolls, and tlie starting up of the six blocks at one time will give the city an impetus that will redound to the benefit of all its citizens.

The arguments in favor of a proposition of this kind ore numerous and from what we can learn, no one objects to the city aiding the companies, if it can be done without material injury to its credit and on a proposition possessing the elements of a square business trans-sac tion. People who have, the least doubts as to the prosperity of a move of this kind should take tkeir pencils and make a few figures as to the probable result of the starting up of a number of additional salt blocks. The material for such figuring is at hand and all have access to it. In manufactuing and barreling salt by means of a two-pan plant, twenty men are required for its operation or ten men to the pun. Six plants means steady employment for one hundred and twenty men in winter and summer.

A two-pun plant will turn out two carloads of salt per day. Six plants will turnout twelve. This tonnage, added to that of incoming coal and cooperage stock will swell the total cars of freight per day considerably and added to our present business, will be sufficient inducement draw any railroad some miles from a proposed route. Again the steady employment of one hundred and twenty additional men is a matter that will contribute in a great measure to the prosperity of the business men of the city. These laborers ust eat, drink, wear clothes and occupy houses, and the larger part of their wages must be expended here.

We are decidedly in favor of a plan of this kind and will cheerfully vote in favor of such a proposition. Newspapers have been received in this city announcing the marriage at Canton, Ohio, on New Years' eve of Mr. Elmer Fry of Wellington, Kansas, and Misa MiuervaMcKinney of Sparta, Ohio. The happy couple will spend the winter in Ohio, and in the spring will come to Wellington. Mrs.

Fry has many acquaintances in thin city, having visited friends here last summer. Hon. Ledru Guthrie has been placed on the committee on judiciary and the committee on labor, two very responsible positions, at Topeka this winter. Ledru seems to be taking quite a prominent part in the early part of the session and will duubtlesB see to it that Wellington's interests are looked after closely. i Look out for the great Character Social, "An evening with Longfello to be given by the Ladies' Auxiliary.
