hi DELEGATIONS

The Laramie delegation never showed
up to poorer advantage than it did yes
terday. For several days tuey have been
engineering a bill relating to the control
and maintenance of the capitol building.
1t provided that The building should be in
charge OF the treasurer auditor and state
engineer, and that IAN moneys arising
from the renting Of p'ttions Of ,aid build
ing shall be paid into the state treasury;
and all of such rrnt, tog Their with all
other moneys collected. for the faid build
ing In pursuance OF any law, shall be
credited to and shall constitute a part of
the Capitol building fund, and all mon
eys nov in said fund together with all
moneys coming into the same, as aiore-
said, shall be available Tor the purpose of
paying any aud all expenses necessarily
incurred under the provisions Of this act;
aud the same are hereby appropriated
therefor"
This bill involved something over a.,
900 to be turned into a tuud for the use
Of the capitol commission. None Of it
was 10 be raised by taxation. Every
cent OF 1t has already been raised for the
building of the capitol wings and is now
in the state treasury, an unused surplus
OF the money intended for capitol building
purposes. Il was the desire to devo'e
this u~neKpended balance to furnishing
ADD fitting up the building 10 something
like an appropriate manner Aud yet
with all the influence which the Laramie
county delegation could bring 10 bar it
was unable to secure the passage OF this
bill devoting the ~ 600, already collected
and 10 the treasury, to this purpose.
On the other hand, what has the Al
bAny county delegation succeeded 10
doingt They have secured legislative
actiou which will snutle the state uni
versity to s9O,O 900 during the next two
wears, or s45. 900 for each year. 1t get
$4,000 from the general government for
agricultural purposes for the year 1899;
el6.0 900 for 1890 will reach here 10 a lew
days; it will get 81, 600 for 1891 and $Is,.
900 Tor 1892, ali from the same source. The
state tax of one-half mill for university
purposes will net about SIC 600. which
comes directly out OF the pockets of the
people of the state. but not satisfied with
ever this amount one eighth of a mill
tax for university purposes is levied for
1891 and 1892, which will net IS, O00
more. The Albany county men were not
satisfied with the national government
appropriation of s66, 600; they were not
satisfied with an addition of $40. 900 col.
lected from the people OF the state, but
they must have an additional &. 1000 more
in taxes for the mex two years.
This vast sun was given to Albany
county aud still our Laramie delegation
couldn't secure the paltry 81, 600 for CAPT
tol purposes, covering two years, when the
money was already in the state treasury,

of more attention. Notwithstanding
the doctors assertion to the contrary. we
still beg leave to reasseIt that the faculty
have been under the thumb OF their own
students" FInfrock himself was one OF
the very men who sustained the students
in their course. We therefore believe
that the legislature acted very wisely 10
removing the Institution from the central
of Albany county people and placing it
in the hands OF men living elsewhere in
the state. This action will have the
effect of exploding the rumor that DR..
Finfrock Is the sole proprietor OF the uni.
versity and give basis to the hope that
the university may in time become what
its name Imnlies.

Anegro escaped from the convict camp
in Montgomery county, Ca, recently.
He had served one year of a term of if
teen. His escape was discovered almost
Immediately after he left the camp, and
every effort was used to catch him, but
without success. The rule in such cases
is that if the escaped is not captured
within twenty-four or thirty-six hours
his arrest after that time is a mere acct
dent. Everything that could be done to
find the negro was done in this instance.
but at last hope of ever catching him
was given mp, and the hunt was aban-
doned- Anew days ago the negro walked

once more" He seemed, in fact, wholly
u-nconcerned about the future, and now
that he chad seen the folks once more"

The peat may be burning where the

horses legs will continue TO be roasted

Mr.. Ditz went on to say that it has

While stroIing through st. PauIs

that the edges Of many of the crumbling
old tombstones had been clipped as if

that the clipping was evidence of a new
craze that has broken out among curl

stones are selected by the curio seekers.
The craze in its latest form broke
out during the summer, and in spite of
the close watch kept few have been
caught in the act of defacing the stones.

been split and scanned by the storms Of

UNIVERSITY ADJUNCT.

The commissioner of Indian affairs
has received letter from Z. A. Gulley,
dean of the university of Arizona, at
Tucson, agreeing, If the government will
equip an experimental station for the
development Of three or four hundred
acres of land on the Pima Indian reser-
walton to operate the station for the
benefit OF the Indians without expense
TO the government. The commissioner
has asked Mr.. Gulley for detailed estima-
ties of the expense that will be involved
in the establishment of the station, and
will recommend to the secretary OF the
interior the acceptance Of the PROPOSE
ton.
Referring to the above dispatch Mr..
Ormsby, secretary Of the board of re-
gents, was called upon for informa-
tion as to details regarding this under
taking.
Mr.. Ormsby while willing to give all
the information asked for, did not have
in his Office the date which had been
complied for use at Washington. He
said in the first place that the land
which the regents wished to cultivate
by the assistance of the Indian, was from
two TO four hundred acres. The idea
originated from correspondence with the
agricultural department at Washington,
looking TO the expenditure of certain
moneys appropriated by the late con-
gress for the development Of waite
supply on arid lands in Arizona and
other states and territories. The plan
of the board is to have the United States
government furnish the plant which it is
estimated will cost from ten to twenty
thousand dollars, and have the director
of the Agriculture experiment station
(Mr. Gulley) superintendent.
This station, employing Indian labor al
most exclusively, teaches them the
science of farming and irrigation, and in
this way makes them self-supportIng and
after few years encourages them to
farm small tracts of land for their own
needs. The amount of money paid to
the Indian to carry on this work will
90 long way towards sustaining his
family and thus encourage independence
and industrial habits. The expense to
the government will be triIiing as the
farm will be carried on as an extensive
experiment station, thus demonstrating
on large scale what can be done with
the pumping plant for irrigation, and
the sdaptability of the soil for cereals as
well as for fruits, etc.
This idea meets with the hearty sup
port of those interested in Indian edu-
cation. for when the boys and girls are
through with the school here and else
where, unless some such means of liveli-
hood is open to them their education
will be for naught.
