FIVE THOUSAND CATTLE.
Shipped From FL Paso. Texss. to wyo-
ming.

The largest shipment of cattle
which will come into Cheyenne
this year was started from Ell Paso,
Texas, Tuesday afternoon. 1t
consists of four train-loads con-
signed to the Powder river range
of bpeer Bros, one OF tine largest
embarrassing firms in Wyoming
and Montana. The shipment is
part of a 5000 head bunch which
will be brought in from Texas and
Mexico this spring. The ca tile
will be met at the state line by
State Veterinarian G. r. Seabury
and inspected for itch and other
diseases.
DR.. Seabury says that there has
not been the slightest difficulty in
enforcing the quarantine procla-
nation recently issued by Acting
Governor Fenimore Chatterton
and does not anticipate any troub-
lie when the southern cattle COM
mence to arrive.
The number of southern cattle
brought in this year will not be
as large MS usual. but will be
greater than vas thought a few
weeks ago. The high prices &C.
casioned by the South Dakota
and Montana demand are not rel
ished by Wyoming cattlegrowers,
and some of the ranchmen who
are in the habit of replenishing
their herds from the south each
year viii not ship n steer unless
the present price fails to keep up.
DIR. Seabury reports that there
is now no disease among cattle of
the state, or. at least, none has
been reported to his Office. CLAN
ders among horses and anthrax
among cattle have entirely disap-
peared. though there were several
reports of 10th diseases during
the winter. Texas itch does not
afHict Wyoming cattle as was sup
posed a month ago, and live stock
of all kinds could scarcely be
healthier. Cheyenne Tribune.

A REPUBLICAN CITY TICKET.
One Will be Put in the Field for the Com.
ing City Election Unanimous senti-
ment Among Republicans That the
Time has Come to Make the Issue on
Party Lines.

Pursuant to call n number of
republicans assembled in the office
of Judge Rowen last Saturday
evening and talked the situation
over as regards the coming city
election.
Judge Rowen. j. ID. Paulson
and J. f. Crawford we're chosen a
committee to call a republican
convention, fix the time and place
of holding the same and to do all
business necessary toward making
preparations for putting a straight
republican ticket in the field.
1t developed during the meet
ing that every candidate for may
or so far had been n democrat and
it was the sense of the meeting
that the republicans had just as
good material in their party as the
democrats and that now was the
proper time to place the city cleo
tions where they belong-Jn par

a call for a republican conven
ton will be found in another col

will be n full attendance and that
only the very best men will be
nominated for the offices of mayor

QUESTION OF SHADE TREES.
Now is the Time to Plant Them and Make
Forest Of the city-A Little Effort
Will Bring About Grand Results in
That Line.

There is n great deal of activity
throughout the town in the mat
ter of planting shade trees and
this activity will surely bring
about gratifying results. Few
towns in this country present bet.
ter or more inviting facilities for
the planting of shade trees than
Saratoga and if the present inter.
est continues the town will soon
present a very inviting appearance
on account of its wealth of shade
trees.
Water is very easily obtained in
wells and wind mills are very in
expensive luxuries. With these
two combined there is no reason
why there should not be a lawn
in front of every residence in the
town and shade trees in the great
est profusion. A number of our
citizens have already made the eff.
fort in this line and the result is
beautiful grassy lawns and fine
thrifty trees that are making rap
id strides in the direction of invit-
ing groves.
There is no need to plant trees
unless they are properly cared for
during the first They
must be watered and guarded
against injury until such a time as
their roots IA reach down and
obtain water for themselves, after
which they will only need to be
protected from the depreciation of

chant for the sweet green leaves
and tender branches.

Rules for Measuring Hay.

A rule for measuring hay in the
stack and which is as near correct
as is possible to it, is AS
follows:
Add the width of the stack to
the distance over the stack. meas
uring from ground to ground.
Divide the product by four and
and multiply the quotient by it.
self. Them multiply the product
obtained by the length of the
stack. and divide hat product by
42l, if it is native hay, or by 512
it alfalfa, that being the number
of cubic feet required for u ton of
the respective kinds after stacks
have settled at least thirty days.
For example: Surprising a stack
of alfalfa is IL feet wide, the dis
lance over is twenty-eight feet
and the length is fifty feet. the
computation is as follows:
Twelve plus % equals 10; 40
divided by 4 equals 10; 10 multi
piled by 10 equals 100; 100 multi
piled by 80 equals 5000; 5000 di-
vided by 5l2 equals 9.76-100- or
a trife owe 81 tons of alfalfa
in the stack. If native hay, the
5000 should be DIVIDED by 421.

Carson Adams, of this city. who

A Ground Leveler.

Peter Wilde. the East Side
Blacksmith, recently invented a
very unique device for leveling
plowed ground, which beats very
thing in that line we have ever
seen, and parties who have used
it say that it is a success in every
particular. The frame is built
like a sled, having about
20 inches high, aud has an ar
rangement swung loose between
them on the principal of a hoe
scraper, and the operator rides be-
hind the scraper and operates it
with pillow handles, lowering or
raising the device at will. A. W.
Eager used one of them on his
garden plot which he had plowed
up and says it levels the ground
perfectly.
If any one has any leveling to
do, it will pay them to take a look
at this machine.

Pride.


To be possessed Of a reasonable
amount of pride is a virtue of the

pride places us on a plane with the
very lowest order of intelligence.
1t is pride that stimulates us to
study. to work. to extra exertions,
to rise above our fellows political
ly, socially, intellectually and f.
nancially.
There are individuals whose
achievements are the pride of the
entire community with whom they
live and are associated
The people of Saratoga are
proud, and justly so, of the lavish
expenditure of money now being
made by some of its enterprising
citizens, upon improvements; not
ably, the Hotel Wolf, J~ensen's
Hall, Z. p. Andrews residence, the
Presbyterian church and the office
of the Saratoga Sun"
The principal object of this
paper, is to call attention to
the enterprise of Mr.. j. F.
Crawford, who can boast of
having the finest printing press in
the state, and when we say this
we speak advisedly. We quote
Mr.. NJ. E. Taylor, who is not only
an expert, but a crank on print
ing presses.
OF this new press Mr.. Taylor
said: without any question Mr..
Crawford has them all beaten in
the matter of presses. The Bah
cock Reliance which he has in his
Office is the very latest and best
production in printing machinery,
and if that press were in either
Cheyenne or Laramie you would
hear a great deal more about it
than you do here in Saratoga.
The reason for that is, the people
of Saratoga do not realize what a
prize they have in that press, for
it is without question the best
press in the state of Wyoming
We visit Cheyenne, proud of
her being the capitol of this great
state We visit Laramie, proud
of her State Normal, Miller * Van

which to be proud?

ORGANIZE A FIRE BRIGADE.
Saratoga Very Much Needs Protection
Against the Ravages Of Fire. s. Tay-
Tor Enlisted in the Work.

Saratoga needs, next to water
works, a fire brigade. She cannot
have such an organization any too
soon. The mere fact that this
town has only had one fire in its
whole history is no guarantee that
we will not have another destruc-
tive fire at any time. Enough
money vent up in smoke the day
the Hot Springs Hotel burned to
the ground to have built first
class water works for this town,
and, if there had been a thorough
ly well organized fire brigade,
much more of the property of that
company could have been saved
and prehaps ever the hotel might
have been saved.
The Sun thinks the very best
thing the citizens of this Town
can do is to organize a fire brigade
and divide it into three corps. as
was suggested by the article in
last weeks Sun. We have a citi-
zen of this town. G.. S. Taylor,
Night Policeman. who is thorough
ly conversant with fire companies
and in every way adapted to get
up such an organization as is
needed here. The Sun suggests
that a meeting be called for the
purpose of discussing this matter
and that Mr.. Taylor be authorized
to go ahead and enlist men for the
three divisions needed. viz. a sal
wage corps. a bucket brigade and a
hook and ladder corps.
There are plenty of men who
will volunteer for this work and
we hope it will not be allowed to
slumber until we fall into u fan
cied dream of security, only to be
aroused to action by a fire far
more destructive and far reaching
in its effects than the one we re-

GENERAL NEWS.
Items Of up-to-Date Interest Compiled
For the Readers Of The Sun.

The minority report made by
Mr.. Mcclellan (Democratic) on
the Cuban reciprocity bill has
given great c to some of
the Republican leaders. He in
sists that this is the first break in
the walls ct protection, and calls
upon all Democrats to assist in
enlarging the breach. 1t is, of
course, nc more the intention Of
the Republican leaders to attack
the principal of protection than it
is their purpose to legislate in fav-
or of the sugar trust, as they are
charged with doing. What they
are endeavorIng to do is to give
material aid to Cuba without in.
juring the American system of
protection. or giving a bonus to
the so-called sugar trust.
, 1902-04-24

The Cuban reciprocity-sugar
fight is on the floor of the House.
Chairman Payne of the Ways and
Means Committee opehed the de
bate Tuesday (S)in favor of the
bill, taking the ground that the
proposed 20 per cent. reciprocal
reduction is in the interest of beet
sugar. since it will end the contro-
versy and put off Cuban annexa-
ton. William Alden Smith. of
Michigan, one of the 'insurgent"
Republicans, in n brilliant speech
presented the arguments of the
opponents to tariff concessi ons.
He proclaimed only friendship
and desire to aid Cuba. but insist
ed that such aid should not be
rendered to n foreign State at the
expense of u own people and in
dustries. He cited the pledges of
the Republican leaders to protec-
ton of the home industries. and
claimed that the burden of the re-
duction would fall upon the farm.
er and laborer. Judge Morris, of
Minnesota, another Republican
opposed to the bill, insisted that
the measure would not provide
the desired relief for the Cuban
people, but that the sugar trust
would be the sole beneficiary. No
agreement having been reached
as to limiting debate. the discus.
sion of the question will probably
occupy the House for n week more.
There is distinct evidence of
continued prosperity among the
farmers and those engaged in
transportation Of farm and other
products. Some figures just pre-
sented by the Treasury Depart
