MISSIONARY WORK TO BE DONE

Now that commencement is over
and a season of rest is upon tho uni
versity. time is given for congratula
tons over past success and plans for
future achievements.
The most important of the work to
he performed is the education of our
parents to the truth that we have with
in our state an institution of learning
the peer of any in the entire west. The
work is concentrated t a degree not
usual and the student is given greater
personal attention than is the practice
in the big colleges of the east. The
faculty is composed of some of the
most capable educators to be found
anywhere, men and women whose lives
are given to the most worthy cause
known to humanity. Most of them are
bound up in their work here and eX-
pect to devote the remainder of their
days to the advancement of. the Wyo-
ming university.
There is missionary work to be
done. Some portions of the state do
not respond when called upon to send
their boys and girls here. The caus
must be investigated and removed.
Very few students have come from
Cheyenne and Laramie county, al
though three of the four presidents
have come from that portion of the
state and the secretary of the board
of trustees was a resident of the CAPT,
tai.
Why do the parents of Cheyenne
prefer to send their boys and girls to
the little one-horse institutions of Colo,
RADIO? The educational advantages
are not as good. living is no cheaper.
the moral and social atmosphere can
not be compared with that of Laramie,
and at the same time one of our lead,
ing state institutions is being detract,
ed from in name and support.
President Smiley. Vice President
Burke Of the board of trustees and
Secretary Grace Raymond Hebard
have work to do at the state capital.
Let the people there be shown that it
is to their advantage from an educa.
tional and financial standpoint to send
their children to the Wyoming univer-
sity.

ON THE CANCER GERM.
DR.. Gaylord's Report of Experiment. of
Last Three Years.

DIR. Harvey r. Gaylord, in the Amer
lean Journal OF Medical Sciences. pub
fishes his official report on his expert
ments of the last three years. made
with a view to finding the germ of can
GER. The increase in the number of
cancer cases and the fact hat 1t ranks
next to consumption as a cause OF
death in this country. max his report
Of the greatest interest. 1t is written
In a technical manner which makes it
largely incomprehensible to the laity,
but enough can be CLEANED from it to
give hope that the doctor really has
found the pestiferous little "protozoon'
which use cancer. Many learned
scientists have searched for the little
rascal before, but without success. DR..
Gaylord believes that he has caught
him. In cases OF well developed cam
Ger the doctor discovered small trans
parent bodies which, under the micro
scope. were observed to change their
form. Increase in size and pass through
what appeared to be a spore-forming
stage. By inoculating animals with
these protOzoons the doctor was able to
produce a cancerous state in them.
One guinea pig so ]inoculated be-
came afflicted with "a condition
Of the lungs and the liver which
we wish to interpret as pri-
mary carcinoma Of those organs
In other words, the beginning of gen.
uine cancer. The report, which occu-
pies th~irty-six pages and tells of his
experiments In detail, seems to Justify
the belief that at last the germ OF can
Ger really has been found and ''iso-
lated" so that the disease can be trans
ferred by incubation. II that is so, an
important step has been made, but the
most important one Is yet to come.
Granted that the germ OF cancer has
been found, now what will kill thai
germ and cure or prevent cancer? DR.
Gaylord emphatically disclaims any re-
sponsibility for the reports regarding
his experiments which have been pub
lished before this official one

CONVENIENT POCKET MAPS
OF STATE OF WYOMING,

There having been so many calls re-
Gently for maps of the State of Wyo-

The map selected is issued by Rand,
McNally & Co, and is u%p-to-date in e
cry particular. 1t is arranged in neat

showing in detail the entire railroad
system, the express company doing
business over each road and accurate
ly locates all cities, towns, %postottices,
railroad stations, villages, counties, isl
ands, lakes, rivers, etc.
The special features of this pocket
map are: Locating the branch Or par,
ticular division of railroad upon which
each station is situated; the nearest
mailing point of all local places; desig-
mating money order postoffices; tele.
graph stations, and naming the com
pany doing business at the point where
the several companies have offices.
The population of the various towns
is given according to the 1900 census.
These pocket maps will be sold for

story from thu KIandika,

Strangely enough. the London Week.
ly Dispatch does not appear to credit
the story which appeared In Its con-
temporary, the Express. regarding the
devastation wrought in the Klondike
by a mastodon. The story as it was
printed in the Express was dated New
York. and 1t said: From Dawson City
there comes a letter which describes
the killing OF a big mastodon at the
Forks after he had demolished a hotel
and several houses, tossed dogs and
horses in the air and caused men to
run for their lives. He was at last
killed by an electric wire which he
tried to pull down. His skin alone
weighed LOO pounds. The skeleton,
which is Is feet high. is now on exhibit
ton. One tusk weighed PIT pounds.
The town in which he was killed
looked like it had been visited by an
earthquake" The Dispatch, for the in
struction Of its readers, also printed a
thrilling picture Of a hairy mastodon
on a rampage, and 1t was unkind

ELWOOD MEAD AND IRRIGATION.
Stand up for Wyoming.

Prof. Elwood Mead, who. fortunate
ly is recovering from the shock of the
severe accident which befell him a
few days ago in Washington. gave his
opinion at length a short time ago be-
fore an industrial commission in re-
gard to the advantages Of irrigation.
He did not confine his remarks to the
arid region. but he showed that also
in Louisiana and the southeastern part
Of Texas irrigation had added enor-
mously to the value of lands available
for rice culture.
Secretary Wilson of the department
of agriculture sent an agent OF the de
partment into that part of the
try to instruct the people in the meth
DDS OF applying water in irrigation,
has been made. Prof. Mead estimates
that in a short time. in consequence
OF the resort to irrigation in that locali-
ty. the United States will become an ex-
porter instead of an importer of rice.
The opinion is spreading in different
parts of the humid region thai irriga-
ton is justified by the increased pro-
duction of the soil. the preservation
OF its fertility, and the escape from the
evil effects of prolonged drouths, such
as sometimes occur in the east. Ex-
periments have been made. especially
at the agricultural experiment station
in Wisconsin. showing the increased
yield upon irrigated as compared with
non-irrigated fields.
But it is in the arid region hat the
chief attention will be given to this
subject, for here as a rule crops can,
not be grown without irrigation. I'm
worthless except for grazing. But un-
der irrigation its value is multiplied in
many cases a hundred times; and in
a few localities in the southwest where
semi-tropical fruits are grown it has
been made more than a thousand times
as valuable as it was with irrigation.
In public expressions of his opinion
on this subject as well as in the ir-
rigation Investigation which he is now
conducting, Prof. Mead is doing great
good for the far west. He is forcing
upon the attention of eastern people
the Importance Of irrigation to the arid
region. and he is bringing out the fact
that through the construction Of irrf.
cation works an enormous addition Is
made to the wealth of the whole coun-
try. It is important that the latter
proposition should be impressed upon
he Inhabitants of the humid part Of
the Union. The nor clearly they see
that national interests are promoted
by the reclamation of arid lands, the
more will they be willing for congress
