TIE WYOMING UNIVERSITY.
A Splendid Opportunity tor an Educa
ton Now Offered by the Faculty
of that Observation-Disclosures
ness College to Begin
With Present
Term.

The Wyoming University which
opens in Laramie today, begins
the fall term under the most fav-
orible auspices y Business Col
lege, the need of which has been
felt for some time, will be opened
with the beginning of the term un-
der competent teachers, which de-
partment will make the Wyoming
University second to none in point
of educational advantages and a
shining light in the western edu-
cational world.
1t is a mistake to suppose that
IL must send their children east
for an education. The west is
possessed of Just as bright and
capable teachers us the east-in
fact we have been drawingthe very
best lights from that portion of
the couutry-and we now have
IN our midst one of the very best
institutions that this country of
schools and colleges affords any
where. Besides, the expense of
maintaining scholars at the Wyo-
ming University is less han in
many other institutions of lesser
worth, and the student is near
home.
Now is the golden opportunity
to give your sons and daughters,
that are now approaching man
hood and womanhood, an educa-
tion at a mere nominal price, You
will be astonished at the cost, but
all you need to do to be convinced
is to enquire from those who know.
1t ought to be within the means
of every parent to educate those
who are to soon take up the bur.
den which he or she must soor
lay down. Can you afford to neg
lect this duty, which you owe, no.
only to your children, but to Tia,

Ore Specimens for State Exhibit.

1t is not generally known that
we have quite an exhibit of ore
specimens at the state capital in
Cheyenne, but such is a fact.
Those having it in charge are very
anxious to have specimens of the
ores produced in this district, and
to this end have requested the ed
itor of this paper to make a collec-
ton from the different mines of
the Grand Encampment, Battle
Lake. and Big creek regions and
forward to them. We shall be
glad to take charge of and for
ward to the capital all specimens
of ore brought to this office for
that purpose, and we request the
owners of mines to bring to this
Office as large specimens of the
product of their mines as they
can, to the end that they may be
placed on exhibition at the capital
There is much enquiry for the ore
from the mountains surrounding
this valley, and it is highly i'm.
portant that they should all be
represented. Bear this III mine

FOREST PRESERVATION.
A Very Strong Letter From the Pen OF
James Douglas, a Snake River
Ranchmar, on the
Subject

Dixon, WYo., Sept. g., 1899,
To the Editor of the Republican,
Rawlins:
1 have taken your paper for
years and seldom sought publicity
in it, but 1 want to say a few
words about an article in your is
sue of August 18th, called "Graz-
ing on Timber Reserves" | have
no cattle on the ranges and own
no sheep, but I have a good ranch
which l would like to protect if L
can.
I have been much in the Sand
stone and Battle creek regions
this year and last, and do strong
ly think that a very few more
years of the sheep in the timber
will greatly diminish the water
supply and make high water much
earlier, leaving little or no water
for late irrigation. The sheep eat
up the weeds and young timber,
and expose the roots of the trees;
there is practically no second
growth of quaking-asp left when
they go.
The cattle seldom go into the
timber at all. and never high up,
and the cowboy only rode
through the timber once or twice
a year. The hunter no longer ex-
lists, as no game stays where sheep
are.
= Many of my best friends are
sheep men. and l am not an anti
sheepman of a virulent type, as all
know in this district. All the
country from Snake river and Saw
cry to the railroad is a suitable one
for sheep; but if they continue in
the timber and to the top of the
range as now, itwont be long till
the effect is seen in the destruction
of the timber and in the diminu-
ton of the water supply.
The sheepmen have the whole
country and, even for their own
sake, there must soon be a halt in
numbers, and it would be better,
even for them in the end, if thew
were kept out of the timber. 1
trust you will publish this as it is
my honest opinion on a subject l
have seen for years and l feel it
my duty to go on record in the
matter-although L don't like I'M
pleasant talk, and although I fear
that my published opinion will,
under "the powers that be-" do
little good. Yours very truly,
JAMES DOUGLAS.
