the rRuANT AND MS PARENTS.

Chicago's school for truants and UNI
ruly children is under investigation by
the school board Of that city and the
prospect is not favorable to the exis-
tence of the school under the condi-
tions that prevail. The parental
i school" was established some time
ago upon the insistence Of reformers.
s It provided detention place for incor-
rigible truants and is in effect a semi
penal institution. Enthusiastic reform
ers saw to it that the school did not
: lack inmates Now serious charges
! are made against instructors and the
school is alleged to be completely de-
morauzed and inefficient The school
board and the Judge of the Juvenile
court are Investigating conditions and
the grand jury may later find the
school at subject for its attention.
The theory is coming to general ac-
ceptance that reformatories under lock
and key are not the solution Of the
unruly child problam To lock boy

the least troublesome IL not the most

& One of the serious faults Of our
child reform laws is that 1t places re-

il A ten-year -old boy is not so much q
subject for forcibfe reform as an OBJ
ject for Assistance, aid and encourage
ment. He Is seldom wicked or vicious
or vile by nature. He does not need
imprisonment but freedom and occu-
patton, and work as duty and priv
:ilege not as a penalty, and he needs
these at home. Prison schools will al
ways retain the elements OF failure.
They can not fiji the place of home and
their influences must carry always
their modicum ,,f evil. The crying need
of q penalty is for the parent who re-
fuses the responsibility OF paternity
and throws it upon the state. Tru-
ancy laws that deal with the child do
not go deep enough. They should
carry cumulative penalty for the
parent.

Fall and Winter Care Of Trees.

= +
One Of the best things for protection
of young trees against mice. and rab-
bits is wire cloth wound loosely around
the tree. 1t will also effectually pro-
tect against sun scald. 1t will last for
several years by loosening as the tree
grows. With us nothing has proven
quite so good as this, SO that we feel
justified in going to the small ex-
pense involved. After putting on the
wire cloth, mulch with rotten straw
about six inchees deep and out several
feet from the tree. Throw some dirt
on to keep from blowing away The
mulch will serve to prevent a drying
out Of the soil during the winter which
kills more trees In this country than
all other causes combined. Don't fail
to remove the mulch in the early
spring.

Hog Notes.

Unless kept for breeding purpose
the hog which lives to his birthday is
a loss to his owner, and If he could
get enough to satisfy his appetite in
q, large roomy yard, he would put on
flesh twice as fast as he would In a
close pen.
The boar with broad chest and
with large girth at the heart has the
greatest vitality, and other points be
ing equal, is the kind to select for
strong vigorous pigs that will resist
ordinary disease germs and grow
rapidly.
A pig out Of a pig-the sires OF both
being pigs-is much weaker in vitality
and in the constitutional vigor to
withstand disease or hardship than
the produce of mature parentage.
Sush crossing as this is, in nine cases
out of ten, the cause of so many small
litters Of which there is so much COM
plant. A word to the wise is suffi-
cient and the advisability OF always
selecting the gifts that are desired for
brood sows from the litter of mature
sires and dams needs no urging.

Rawlins Business Men Negotiating With
the Colorado, Wyoming C idaho
70 60 via Fl. Steele as New
Planned.

The following from the Rawlins
Republican will be of interest to
Saratoga people, as it bears on
the Colorado, Wyoming & Idaho
railroad:
j. W. L. Gray, steward of the
penitsntiary, gave a very interest
ing railroad talk concerning the
new north and south road to Den
yer, which is being discussed. Mr..
Underwood, n of the engineers
and promoters of the scheme, is a
personal friend of Mr.. Gray, and
a S soon as the latter learned of his
connection with the company he
addressed an inquiry to Mr.. IN
derwood concerning the proposed
route. By this means he learned
that the Colorado, Wyoming d
Idaho road, which is the one in
question, had practically decided
OF their route and Rawlins was
not on the line, but the road would
cross in the vicinity of Fort Steele.
Mr.. Gray was assured that the
money for its construction was
ready and the road would be built
as soon as the details are arranged.
Mr.. Gray had not previously given
publicity to his correspondence
with Mr.. Underwood, but gave
the business men assembled the
benefit of his acquaintance with
that gentleman, which may re-
suit in negotiations to bring the
line through Rawlins. AS far as
Saratoga the route is settled, but
to come by way of Rawlins would
mean about IL miles additional
road bed construction and some
inducement will likely have to be
offered to offset the difference.

Wrecking trains were hurried
to the spot and it was found that
it would take at least 30 days to
clear the track, and that another
slide would he almost certain to
occur, so a track Il mile in length
has been constructed around the
slide. This new track required
three bridges, one 2lO feet. one
10 feet and one 50 feet. This
work was accomplished by Mon
day and trains were running by
the wreck Monday evening.
In the meantime all passengers
and hand baggage had to be trans
ferred by wagons, on a road three
miles in length. During Saturday,
Sunday and Monday, the workers
were greatly hampered by rain
and snow. Over 400 men were
employed and the work of relay
ing the track on the old grade and
the construction of the three
bridges was done in remarkable
time. Traffic was delayed for As
hours, but all is again moving.
Twenty-Five teams from Rawlins
and Laramie were used to transfer
mail, baggage and passengers.

CHANGE IN SCHOOL LAWS.

The last Legislature changed the
school laws somewhat in regard
to the voting of money in the an
nual school meeting. No one is a
legal voter, when it comes to vot-
ing a special tax, or on any other
question concerning the voting of
money for any purpose, unless he
can and does exhibit a receipt for
taxes. Voters who attend the
school meeting next Monday will
do well to bear this in mind, and
take their tax receipts for the year
1904 with them, otherwise they
may be debarred from voting on
some of the most important ques-
tons that may come before the

THINKS RAILROAD ASSURED

The positive assurance given by
Mr.. Hum that a railroad will be
built to Encampment this summer
is giving great satisfaction to the
people of this section. This is
the first time that Mr.. Hum has
expressed absolute confidence that
the road would be built, though
at all times hopeful for the consul
nation of such a project, which
gives his opinion more weight
than it might receive were such
not the case. Railroad rumors
have been thick in the past, even
when there was nothing here to
warrant the building of one. The
older residents realize this fact,
but have never lost confidence in
the belief that the time would
come when such an expenditure
of money would be warranted.
The time really has arrived, and
once the road is built, there will
no longer be any doubt of the per-
manency of the town and the
camp. The next thing in impor-
lance will be the building of the
Platte Valley irrigation canal.
Take the two together and moth
ing can stop Encampment from
being the best town in the state.
