AS usual, Senator Warren is to the
front with measures of interest to the
people of Wyoming. The increased ap-
preparation for the federal building at
the capital was the frst to pass the
senate. The senate has also passed his
bill for the relief of Hattie Phillips of
Wyoming for services performed by
her husband, John Phillips, in carry
ing a message from Fort Phil Kearney
to Fort Laramie in 1866. This bill car
ries an appropriation Of $1,000.

In 1886 the ranges in Wyoming
reached the very highest point in over-
stocking. Everybody had gone into the
cattle business in order to reap the 10
per cent profit per annum that was al
legged would inevitably result from the
investment and as a consequence every
available range in the territory was
overstocked. When the winter came
on the cattle entered it in poor condi-
ton. There was absolutely no winter
feed and the result was n loss of from
40 to 60 per cent, and the cattle BUSH
ness received a backset from which it
has never recovered. Nine-tenths OF
the stockmen closed out their holdings
and few were able to liquidate their
debts, as many were doing business on
borrowed capital.
The same disaster, which overlook
and overwhelmed the cattle industry
now threatens the tiockmasters of the
state. During the past two years, mer-
chants, lawyers, doctors and even liquor
men have entered the business. To
own sheep is regarded as a sure route
to fortune and has grown to be a
craze.
The public domain, growing annual
ly less. is the stock in trade of the am
ateur sheep baron, who prefers free
grazing. There is no limit to the am
bition of those in search of quick for
tunes, and it may be fairly stated that
we are on the e brink of a disaster
to the sheep business. the same as be-
fell the cattle business in 1886.
Surely something ought to be done
to avert the disaster. The situation
should be carefully and intelligently
considered by those most interested
and steps taken to prevent a public
misfortune. Some plan should be
agreed upon to meet the conditions that
have arisen Mere negative ac-
ton or opposition to propositions for
| relief will not suffice. 1t is an easy
matter to file a protest, but it takes in
telligent consideration to devise a pre-
ventive. Any obstructionist can make
a kick. and turn aside the best efforts
| of thoughtful men, but the trouble with
kickers is that they only consider their
own personal case and do not take a
comprehensive view of the entire stu.

1t may be of interest to the stock
men and people generally to know that
the anti-leasing petition which was cir
culated at Rawlins bore the names Of
116 signers. Thirty-one of these were
stockmen and the remainder were
merchants and men about town who
have little interest in such matters. OF
the %thirty-one stockmen, nearly all
were men who had taken advantage of
the homestead law, the desert law and
the laws pertaining to leasing lands,
and many of them have applications
on file to lease more lands. Having
occupied the water couses to such ex-
tent as they are able under the United
States and state laws, they now seek
to prevent others from leasing the
public lands beyond. In summer the
public lands are used without any re-
turn to the public therefor, and in win
ter the leased and patented lands con-
tigious to home ranches are used. 1t
is not the homesteader that these men
are burning with sympathy for; he is
just the man whom they are eeklng
to exclude. There are now on file In
the Office of the state land board apph-
cations for about 100000 acres OF
land, and nine-tenths of the applicants
are small ranchmen and homesteaders,
They nave a limited quantity of land
and are seeking to protect themselves
from the invasion Of large bands OF
sheep. The leasing of the state lands
means protection to the little fellow,
for the reason that he can fence his
pasture thus acquired and keep the
big fellow out.

was ruinous. Guests insisted upon being
served upon fine porcelain. and refused
to eat from slabs of ironstone, so some
way out had to be found. A machine was
invented. capable of being operated by
anybody. and that could be trusted to
wash thoroughly, rinse and dry the most
delicate ware without chippage or break

The dishes are collected and soraped

dishes stand on edge without touching

the like go into the centre. The basket IL
lowered into the washing tank. where hot

driven against the dishes with tremendous
rapidity and force. They are washed In
twenty seconds. A trolley carries the
basket to the rinsing tank where two
souses take off the soapsuds. They drain
and dry from the heat they have absorbed
from the rinsing water. China and silver
ware thus treated always look brighter
and newer than IL washed by hand.
