vided all these things were done and pro-
vided the perpetrator of the misdemeanors
was found by the the troops, the system
was imperative, for, Immediately upon the
departure of the troops, the offender or
offenders could return and then the same
tedious operation would have to be re-
peated. But all this is changed now.
The Assistant Superintendent cannot
make arrests but they do report offenses
to the Justices. Arrest speedily follows,
trial and conviction are as speedily as
sured and the jail at Evanston settles the
case for the culprit. Take for instance
the case Of 'Buckskin jim, a notorious
desperate who has longdefed the officers.
He has been ordered out of the park
many times, and has made a practice of
skipping over into Montana whenever the
atmosphere of the park was getting un-
comfortably warm. Our constables
rounded him up so quickly hat he and
everybody else in the country was sur
priscd. He is now in Jail at Evanston,
and that is the way all offenders are being
treated. Superintendent Carpenter is
delighted with the change and the assist
ants are equally iubilant.'

YES, and right here | want to say that
he is a magnificent official. Vigilant,
conscientious. fearless and ever ON the
alert, he is indeed the right man in the
right place. He is in hearty sympathy with
the laws of Wyoming and is anxious to
have them enforced. lie has instructed
all of his assistants to be vigilant and to
cooperate with our officials. Every man
of them is enthusiastic and gladly aids the
Territorial officers. never saw men who
seemed so completely enthused with a de-
sire to aid any cause as are Major Carpen-
ter and his assistants in the enforcement
of our laws in the park. They are all
well suited to the duties required of them.

"Unquestionably. No better men
could be found in the West, and no words
of commentator will be too emphatic to
express the effective and fearless service

''The appropriations made by Congress
have been far too moagcr. Lieutenant
Kingman, who, by the way, is a son of
Judge Kingman, of this city, is doing
nobly, however. He is a practical engi-
neer and mountain road builder. He is
picking u routes and easy grades and by
carefully outstanding the appropriations is
making good Roadway. At one place he
will save a grade of 500 feet and will have
