Mr.. Miller will have a meeting of

cation called as early as possible,
when the matter will be submitted and
Mr. Thomas advised of the action
taken.
Mr.. Miller. in discussing the matter
this morning. said the letter was the
elimination of negotiations going on
for several months, and that he be
lioycd the offer made by the Kansas
city association would be accepted by
the board of the Albany County asso-
citation and a like sum voted by the
board for premiums in this class Of
breeds in Wyoming. He believed the
offer would bring a large number Of
cattle to Laramie, not alone from Alb
any county and Wyoming, but from
other states, making the registered
Hereford show one of the most i'm
portant held in the west. The offer
Of the American Hereford Cattle
Breeders association will attract the
attention of similar organizations. and
it is not unlikely that several hundred
dollars a be added to the premium
list in this way.
The board of trustees will take up
the Thompson offer n other matters
Of this nature at the meeting to be
called soon, and the actual work Of
arranging for the mex fair will be
begun away ahead of the date to be
fixed ordinarily. so that there will be
no lack of time in any direction. The
fair also promises to be the best SO
tar held, aside from the Breeders as
SuClarIOn offer.

A COLLEGE
OPENING
FRONTIER EPISODES IN CONNEC
TON WITH THE LANDER AG-
RICULTURAL COLLEGE.
The Secrecy With Which Everything
in Connection With the Affair is
Veiled-A Pugilistic Professor Re-
ceives a Minor Misunderstanding
ProcIivities Of One Of the Trustees.

The Republican presents herewith
some very racy news items relating to
the opening of the alleged agricultural
college at Or near the city of Lander
in the county of Fremont, state of Wy
oming. When Senator Keister made
his able effort in the state senate he
informed the people of the state that
the agricultural college at Lander was
in full swing; that a president and a
full corps of professors had been EN-.
ployed and the college was actually in
operation. He did not give the name
of the president nor that of any pro
~fessor, but permitted the people to re
main in darkness upon this point. And
it appears that the Lander newspa-
pers are also willing to keep the mat
ter a secret, neither of them having
mentioned the name of the president
nor that Of any member of the faculty.
Referring to the opening of the col
iege. the Lander Mountaineer says:
The trustees Of the Wyoming
agricultural college have pur-
chased within and near the linn
its of the town of Lander, the
Wroe property as a site for the
agricultural college, and desig-
mated the same as the site for
that institution, have elected a
president, such professors, tu-
tors and other officers of the
faculty of the institution as are
necessary. prescribed the duties
of such instructors, prescribed
the our of study and disci-
pine to be observed therein.
School was opened the first Mon
day of the month at the place
designated as the site Of said
institution, scholars enrolled and
attending and receiving instruc-
ton therein"

Woman In Politics.

The chances are that the participa-

states has not made any material
change in the situation. In Wyoming
the women have been voting since
the early territorial days. They. have
had an experience in politics such as

to their community. Possibly it is OF
value to both. In Colorado the aver

that those stories of Colorado election
irregularities have any basis in fact.
