and the administration of

ministration and the administration Of
Governor Osborne.
The highest income received during
any one year by the state land board,
of which Governor Osborne was presi-
dent, was about $12,970. But the in
come of the state has been steadily and
rapidly increasing from the commence
ment of Governor Richards admins
tration until during the last fiscal
year, 1897, the amount received by the
state board for said year, from the
leasing of public lands to settlers, in
this state amounted to $36, 1926 9. In
addition to this. the state land board
has secured from the United States
government, without additional legis-
%lation, as lieu lands, 341, 40 acres, for
which application for leases have al
ready been filed which will bring to
the state a further additional annual
revenue of S17,0SS. While Governor
Osborne was chief executive Of the state
Of Wyoming the annual expenses OF
the county government to the tax pay
ers of Wyoming amounted to the vast
sum of 1870, 909.51. AS a result OF wise
legislation and a republican governor,
and as a result of the thorough and
painstaking work of the present state
examiner, and heartily co-operated in
by the various district judges and
county commissioners throughout the
state, although the number of counties
has been increased, the expenses OF
county government have been decreas-
ed to 1920, 09S.9 so, or a saving of over
$4,000 per annum to the taxpayers OF
Wyoming.
Attention is called to the fact that
our last republican legislature passed
acts in reference to fees to be col
lected from corporations incorporated
under the laws of this state and from
insurance companies whereby the
annual income of the state has been
increased over a year of the Osborne
administration from $4,000 to the sun
of $4,000. These are but instances of
the progress made by the state and
and the advantages gained to the tax
payers and to the people through the
republican legislation and aminis-
%tration.
We censure and condemn John r.
Osborne, Wyoming's representative in
congress, for neglect of duty in leaving
his seat and coming home to attend to
private business at the most critical
period in the history Of the nation,
causing Wyoming to be the only SOW
erign state that did not respond to
roll call in the house of representatives
on the adoption of the declaration of
war for humanity and the maintenance
of national honor.
Knowing that the republican party
is a paryt that fulills its pledges and
always adheres to those principles that
yield the greatest good to the greatest
number, We fear no criticism, but sub
NIT our record to the most scrutinizing
investigation.

WHO ARE THE DEBTORS?

The silverites argue upon the by
pothesis that the free and unlimited
coinage OF silver would furnish cheaper
money and 20 Of it. If the first
proposition Is true, the second must be
false. because the cheap money would
at once drive the dearer money out
OF circulation, thus lessening the cir
culating medium by more thar one
half.
Then the assumption of the silverites
Is that cheap money would be an i'm
mediate benefit and relief to the debtor
class. This at once raises the question.
who are the debtors?
BY referring to the latest published
statements OF the banks in this little
town. we find that they owe more than
100000. Most Of this money is due to
poor men, or men OF limited means, and
Is doubtless a much larger sum than
the poor men owe, all put together.
1t would be safe to say that the
banks of the whole country owe more
money than all the rest of the nation
put together.
All the great corporations OF the
country are in the same fix. The Union
Pacific Railroad company is all the time
in debt to its employees hundreds of
thousands Of dollars. The same is true
OF life insurance and fire insurance
companies, and of all corporations
which are large employers of labor.
Now, II we had free and unlimited
coinage Of silver (and it must be kept
in mind that the democrats, in their
Chicago platform, declared that they
could not, and would o try to, main
tain the parity Of silver under free
coinage) what is to hinder the banks
and other corporations from going in
to the markets of the world, to Mexico
or London. and buying up silver at So
or 60 cents per ounce. bringing it here
and having 1t coined for nothing and
pay of their depositors and employees
in dollars which cost them less than
so cents each? 1t would be just as hon
est as for the farmer. who mortgaged
his farm to borrow gold. or its eQuiva-
lent. to pay 1t back in deprecated
money and the bankers and corpora
tions are a good deal better fixed to
take advantage OF such a condition of
affairs than the farmer.
1t seems to me the whole world would
be justified In questioning the honesty
of any debtor who says. II want cheap
money to pay my debts or Of any pail
tical party which will undertake to help
him defrauS. his creditors by agreeing
to furnish him with cheap money for
that purpose.

Part Horse and Part Zebra and Ii
Called a Zebroid.
The mule, says Cosmos, partakes of
the qualities of the ass and the horse
The zebra having now been domesti-
Gated, it has been asked whether we
can obtain from it an analogous half
breed. Baron de Parana has obtained
enc and calls it the "zebroid." The
young animal is now six months old;
it is a male of bay color with stripes
similar to those of the zebra. These
stripes are we'll marked on the neck,
the head and the legs; those of the body
are not visible, because of the thick
winter coat. The name is black and
resembles that of the zebra; the tail
looks like mules, but has longer hair.
The ears are small with rounded points
like the zebra's. The haunch is well
formed, rounded, and quite large; the
chest is long and high, which makes the
animal hold it's head high, and conse-
quently gives it a good carriage. The
eyes are large and full of feeling; the
nostrils large; the lips small and much
like those of Arab horses (the mare,
the mother of this zebroid, was one
quarter Arab); the head is small; the
legs muscular, but delicate, showing
that he will be very agile; the hoofs
small, black and very hard. He is very
lively, but very gentles and loves to be
caressed. He eats very well, not only
in the stall, but in pasture. These
facts, we are told, are from commune
cation made by tho breeder to the Ma
tional. Acclimation society, which is
shortly to be presented with set of
photographs of the new creature.

but by mistake his address was put
down as Baltimore. It was case Of
heterophemy or something of that kind,
says Washington paper,
There the employer went to the
proper window, and, having receirted
for the amount of the money order,
he was sent to the cashier. It was as
if he'd been to window a, and then was
sent to window C. AT G he presented
his receipted money order, adorned
with certain stamps and marks, and
there he received the amount called
for by the order. Then, having made
out another and correct application, he
joined the line at window b, got his
voucher, and for the second time went
to the cashier at window C, where he
paid for and got his money order in
correct shape.
So the mistake cost him three cents,
the expense Of the first wrong money
order. He paid for one order, and got
the amount Of the order back, though
not the charge for the order; then he
had to pay for another order. That
was all, and he had the experience.

The Dixon's First Trip.

Dnlath Herald:
The first trip of the Dixon to Gran
berry river and return-was the result
of the strained relations between the
United States and Spain. Rather funny,
is it not, that an inland lakes steamer
should have an extra trip forced upon
her by the mere rumor of trouble with
a nation on the other side of the Allan
tic? 1t is fact just the same, and here
is the solution: The steamer Hunter,
which is on the south shore run, has a
bent shaft, and the pattern for that par
ticular shaft is IN the Bethlehem iron
works, at Bethlehem. Pa. The order for
the shaft was sent in long before the
trouble with the Spanish dons arose, but
it was not deemed necessary 10 rush it,
and in the meantime the Maine wreck,
and other H1spano.Americano troubles
appeared, and the government ordered
all private work shelved at Bethlehem
for the time beng.
!. However. by working extra time the
Hunters shaft was shipped from Bottle
hem last Monday, and the boat will be
able to take her own route.
The Dixon has had number of very
convenient changes made in her cabins,
dining rooms and engine room.

WILLIAMS GREAT STABLE.
Three Hundred and Forty Horses,
Eleven for the Empress.

Three Hundred and Forty Horses,
Eleven for the Empress.
The marshall" or. stable Of the Ger
man emperor, consists of $40 saddle and
carriage horses, all from Eve to ten
years old. Eleven Of the finest of these
are reserved especially for the use Of
the empress. Six of them are brown
trakehnes and are for carriage use, and
the others are broken to saddle.
The horses are entered in the stables
when they are five years old and are
trained a half yean before they are
used. The requirements are hard.
They must be snowy and fiery, be per-
feet in action and still be as gentle as
lambs, They must be broken to the
noises and traffic of city streets, to
troops and to hot infantry and artil-
lery fire.. and must be taught, in addi-
ton, to remain perfectly unmoved
when there is loud shouting from the
great crowds all around them. :
The empress was a poor horsewoman
when she was married, but since then
she has ridden almost daily. She has q
special stallmeister who rides with her.
He is beautiful creature in q red coat
embroidered with gold, white riding
brooches and high black boots. For or.
binary occasions, such as the daily
pleasure drives of the empress, she has
a coachman, two outriders and one
mounted man ahead. For festal occa-
sions, even though she be alone in the
carriage, six great black trakehnes
draw her carriage. The leaders are rid
den by men in handsome livery.
In parades she rides great gelding
and wears a dress modelled after the
cuirassier uniform, with a big white
feather-covered hat. Her hunter is a
brown horse.

BURROS FOR JAPAN.
A Dig Bunch of Them to BE Shippe
from Oregon Ranges.

from oregon HangeS.
Not long ago, when w. L. Powell and
A. j. Powell were riding through Wal
Iowa county to buy horses they noticed
on the range numerous herds of burros.
They hunted up the owner, hotel man
at Elgin, says the Portland Oregonian.
''What do you want for those bur-
ros?" asked one of the Powells.
The owner fixed no price, but would
sell.
''I'll give you $3.50 head and round
them up myself or six dollars a head,
you to deliver them at the corrals."
A contract was made on the latter
basis for GOO head. The owner found
the job of collecting those burros big
one. They were wild and free and oh
jected to captivity. Since August last
from six to ten men have been. busy
with lariats, and they have just finished
the work. When q bunch of six or
seven were captured their heads were
tied together and they were released
until wanted. Nearly 1000 head, many
of them young jacks, were at last
rounded up and delivered. The Powells
took them all. They will be shipped to
Seattle, and the majority are destined
for Japan to be used there as pack ami
mails. Some 60 to the Klondike, how
ever. The younger ones will be re-
leased by the Powells on the ranges
near Prosser, Wash, to further in
crease and multiply.
A dozen years or so ago the pack train
OF an e1nigrant outfit, consisting of bur-
ros, was turned loose in Wallowa valley.
From these ancestors sprang the 1000
head that now comprise the novel
shipment of the Powells.
