|coUNTY GOVERNMENTS
COST A GOOD DEAL.

The expense of maintaining the
county governments of the state for
the year 1902 as given out by State
Examiner Henderson is upwards OF
SAL 900, says the Cheyenne Tribune.
This is excessively large as compared
to former years and Mr.. Henderson. in
a letter addressed to each county, ad,
vises more economic methods, as eth
er expenses must be curtailed or the
tax levy for county purposes raised.
There were two expensive murder
trials in Big Horn and Laramie coun,
ties during 1902, which partially caus
ed the great excess.

ANALYSIS
OF SPRING VALLEY OIL MADE BY
EXPERT UNDER DIRECTION
OF A CONGRESSMAN.
Senator Clark Presents Representative
sibley With Specimen and Re-
ceives Fiattering Return from

Other Valuable ingredients.

Some time ago Senator c. D. Clark
of Wyoming exhibited to Congressman
Joseph C. Sibley, the oil king of Frank
lin, Pa, some samples of the Spring
Valley, Wyo.. oil. Congressman Sibley
took considerable interest in the mat
ter, and requested permission from
Senator Clark to send the samples to
Prof. P. H. Conradson. chief chemist
of the Galena Signal Oil company, at
Franklin, for analysis. The permits
sion vas gladly given, and Prof. Con,
radson has just made his report, a
typewriter statement profuse with fig
ures and technical terms, but which,
in sustance, proves the oil to be of the
very highest quality. and Senator Clark
is highly elated over the matter.
Among other things. the report
states the oil to be very valuable on
account of the larger per cent of ben
zine and Illuminating oil. besides paraf-
fine wax contained therein. And it is
mentioned that gasoline may be man
ufactured from the oil, besides any
number of other things, some of which,
however, depc d upon whether or not
the locality affords facilities for the
operations Of certain processes.
The oil from Franklin, Pa, where
Congressman Sibley has made such an

country. and Prof. Conradson compares
the Spring valley oil favorably there
with. Senator Clark processes great
confidence in the future Of his State as
a producer of oil.

have we obtained in exchange for such striking serviees?' the writer asks. He does not consider the conclusion of an alliance involving mutual obligations as a benefit. It is true, he admits, that the French cash the coupons of the Russian rente which they hold, but, considering the circumstances, it is not sufficient remuneration. The French
 were entitled to hope that the Czar's government would grant special favors
 to French industries, and recognize that
 their tariff concessions had been made quate. The total French trade with Russia amounts to S22. 1000, 900 francs, of
 which 2S2, 600 francs are imports and
 40, ,OO0, 600 francs only for export to Rus sia. These figures show that there is nc fair reciprocity for French produce on
 the Russian frontier.

Unless Professor Langley or some other United States man makes more progress in flying than has hitherto been made in this country the big prize at St Louis next year will go to some outsider Frenchmen are busy flying, and they seem to be quite successful at it. That was apparently large achieve ment yesterday with the airship of the Lebaudy brothers. which in one hour and thirty-five minutes covered the for ty-six miles separating Moisson and the Champ de Mars, Paris. The balloon attained an extraordinary high speed, dashing through the air sometimes at the rate of two-thirds of a mile a minute. the mean speed being twenty nine miles per hour. For scme time the Lebaudys had been preparing the bal loon for the voyage, and were determin- ed to exceed any performance made by Santos-Dumont.
 The French are doing more submarine navigation and more navigation of the air than any other people. They are cutie wonderful even if they are com hitting race suicide.

LIMP AND LEAKEN.

An investigation which has been made in Massachusetts reveals that of those employed by the city and town governments 52.77 per cent. are of for eign birth or descent; those in profess sional life, 50.60 per cent; music, S659 per cent; in domestic service, 79.57 per cent; in the manufacture of boots and shoes. 53.77 per cent.
 Massachusetts isn't scared by this showing, although she is of course somewhat pained by the discovery of the decay of the good old stock. The report thus expresses her hope and con- fidence: So long as our institutions and laws commend themselves to our for eign-born citizens and their descend ants as the best and most just that they have known there is no danger that our country will be un-Americanized and foreign principles become predominant. Our task is to constantly raise the stan dard of our institutions and increase the business Of our laws so that the contented may remain so and the dis contented be gradually shown that the evils of which they complain are more inherent in themselves than in our in- stitutions or our government fabric. The Americanizing of the alien has been successful so far, and good judg- ment and foresight on the part of our elected rulers will increase rather than reduce it's potentiality. Of course a little Massachusetts 1eaven is powerful enough to leaven the whole lump, and as long as there is little leaven she need not feel cast down. She is a good old State, and the foreigners who come under her influ- ence are indeed to be congratulated.

NOT NoUGH RECIPROCT7 Y.

Some of the Frenchmen seem to think that there is hardly enough reciprocity on Russia's side of the grand alliance. Tn an article in the Paris Steele entitled Equivalent Services" the writer begins by observing that when you have we'll looked after your neigIbors you may be permitted to give a little attention to yourself" France, he goes on to say, has rendered Russia important services. She has lent her altogether from seven to eight milliards. This money has permitted the Russian minister of finance to convert the Russian rente and consequently to reduce the rate of interest on the very capital provided by the French. It has further enabled the Russian minister of public works to continue and finish that magnificent en- terprise the Trans-Siberian railroad. It has allowed the minister of war to send to the shores of the Amur and to Manchuria the 100000 men who secure in those regions the unassailable pre- ponderance and definite domination of Russia. It has enabled Russian private industry to exploit the national re- sources of the country. "Now, what

The next day the horse is in. troduced little farther into the water, perhaps up to his body, and allowed to splash around as he pleases. In this way the horse is gradually taken far ther in until at length he loses his foot ing and starts swimming quite natural ly, the man in charge swimming by his side to give him greater confidence.
 Then the horse is taught to swim in company with others, beside a boat, by way of training him to cross rivers with his regiment en masse. The horses are divested os all saddlery but head collar and head ropes. The men Of each troop get into boat by means or the head ropes bring their horses in to the water alongside. Then the boat IS hauled across the river by a rope manned from the opposite side, and the horses necessarily follow.
 At times horses exercised in bearing their riders across on their backs. The horse wears only the head collar and bridoon, and the rider strips himself, and throws his legs up along the horses Hanks so as not to impede the animals movements.

Philadelphia has been called the City of Brotherly Love and the City of Homes. It has also been called Slow Town, and now it has been officially called so. The other day hurry order went from washington for the despatch of the auxiliary cruiser Prairie to the Panama isthmus. The Prairie was ly- ing at the League Island yard, but it was found impossible to get sufficient quantity of coal on time in Phi1adel- phia, so she was ordered to stop at Hampton Roads, in Virginia, for fuel. Then Admiral sigsbee relieved his mind.

This is true of lum- Der merchants, coal dealers and mer- chants in general. This should not be, if the city is to compete successfully with other cities in obtaining it's share of government contracts. The business at the disposal of this station will be greatly increased in few years, and it should go to Philadelphia business men. Big orders will, of course, be given for coal and merchandise, but there is danger of these orders going over the heads of Philadelphia mer- chants. because of their slowness in de- livery"
 It is time for Philadelphia to wake up. Situated as she is right where the coal grows she ought to be able to fur nish all that is wanted when it is wanted.
