ADDITIONAL FOREST RANGERS.

The United States Civil Service
Commission will soon hold exam
nations for the position of forest
ranger at some point in the state,
presumably at Cheyenne. The
examinations will be along practi-
cal lines, chiefly tending to ascer-
tain the applicants familiarity
with the ordinary work of a forest
and his ability to perform that
work well, than to find out how
much theoretical knowledge he
has. No man of good charac-
ter, sound in body, who has actual
experience in the timber or on the
range, need hesitate about trying
the examination. 1t is desirable
to get men who live in the vicinity
of the reserve. Men may, how
ever, be transferred during the
winter, in order that they may
continue in service, rather than be
laid off. Additional information
will be furnished by Capt. Davis,
forest superintendent. Notice of
the time and place OF such exami-
nation will be given in the Sun.

LEST We FORGET
A Live Town and How to
Make ~One-Exellen
Paper Read Before
Board Of Trade.

DuItl wac iSoNt o1iolS thC pohlu
of trade at its last regular meet
ing and was, by resolution of that
body, handed to the editor of the
Sun with the request that it be
published. 1t is cheerfully gwen
space for it possesses unusual mer-
it. Read it. Ponder over it. Let
us get there:
According to Article l., of the
constitution adopted by this body,
the functions of the Saratoga
Board Of trade are the promotion
of the best interests of our town
and to give aid and encourage
ment through moral support at
least, to the furtherance of any
and every Legitimate enterprise
that may tend to the Development
of any of the numerous
tributary thereto.
This is the object. How to at
tain it is the question for the con-
sideration Of the Board of Trade.
1t is for them to devise and en-
ploy the most effective means to
this end that strenuous enterprise
illuminated by local patriotism
may suggest, SC that we may dem
oustrate the absolute or relelative
efficiency Ct this organization as a
factor in the development Of our
unlimited resources and the conse-
quent prosperity Of our town and
valley.
1t is said that san ounce of pre-
vention is worth more than a
pound of cure" Upon this prin-
ciple [ would suggest that a be-
ginning be made at home.
Knocking has been the bane of
business enterprise in this COM
munity.
The knocker family is composed
of many types, each in possession
of its own peculiar characteristics
that dominate and direct his meth
DDS to the common end of tearing
down and demolishiug character
and enterprise and barring pro-
gress in the ruins of both.
The common everyday knocker
is, as a rule, influenced by one or
both of two motives. One is "A
blind desire to get even or be re-
venged for some real or fancied
grievance, more probably the lat,
ter. The other, an initiating de-
sire to convey to the minds of
others, more particularly visitors,
the idea of extraordinary acumen
in all business matters: his super
Tor judgment of men and their
motives; his keen appreciation of
hisown uncompromising rectitude
and the dement's of any business
proposition in which he may not
be "A direct beneficiary though the
fundamental principle of the same
may be as clear to him as sanscrit
is to a sage hen. He discusses
with the utmost confidence and
composure the resources of GER
tain localities that he has never
visited, and even had he, was in
capable of making an intelligent
estimate of their extent or Value;
and then, last but not least, is his
superior wisdom in the future Of
all things mundane.
BY the way: Speaking of wis
don brings to my mind some re-
gretable happenings of the past,
that may suggest the possibility
OF a community being actually
overburdened with a certain va
rlety of this profound human at
tribute. L believe that it is
through an overload of this variety
OF wisdom that our town has been
made to trail instead of hold its
due position of lead, and that by
the injection into our methods OF
little of the lighter elements Of
humanity's makeup,

What Every One Needs.

What every one needs, especially

more liberal view of men in theil
efforts to promote industrial en-.
terprise; let us work together and
to the II end, that of energeti.
cally boosting our town and sur
rounding country. There is no
limit to the material at hand.
Nature dealt us no niggardly al
lowance. The limit lies in our
ability to exploit natures gifts
and place them in a position both
prominent and attractive.
All our people, all our institu.
tons, all our resources are of the
best. If there may be anybody or
anything not of the best, we will
not have him or it. This may not
be the present actual condition,
but by working as a unit to that
end we can make it so, and make
it so we must.
Let us support our local pa per
for, let me tell you, that the col
umns of the local paper is the in
deX to the progress, prosperity,
enterprises and of the
community in which it is being
published.
The industrial field is the ex-
tensive one now open to the news
paper since the monthly magazine
has become the vehicle conveying
the best political thought and lit
erature 10 the American home
Let us use u newspaper as the
advertising medium through which
investment seeking capital may
become cognizant of our illimitable
and ineXhaustible resources, both
mineral and agricultural; Of the
wonderful business opportunities
lying dormant beneath the sage
brush of our plains and the shell
tering pines of our mineral stuffed
mountains or rushing down
through gufch and canyon, loudly
but unsteady proclaim their
power for the generation of ener-
gy sufficient to set in a whirl
everything on wheels on the face
of Gods f~ootstool.
Let us give our local paper the
support necessary to its being able
to make a presentable appearance.
1t is the people hat make a paper.
No matter how brilliant a writer
or what may be the intellectual
resources of the man behind the
pencil, the product of mind and
pencil can be effective only after
being put in cold type, and it
takes money to buy printers ink,
paper, and TO pay the printers and
printers devil.
1t is up to us to have a ne VS.
paper so we had better get down
to business and make our local
paper worthy Of our town
There is no question as to the
brilliant future in store for the
valley, but if Saratoga would
get within the sphere of illum-
nation it is up to her people
to get a move on them and that
mighty quick.
Modern transportation facilities
is our crying need, but we are
about to be discovered by the Co.
lumbus of this industry and we
had better keep our lights trimmed
and the possibilities for the de-
velopment of traffic business piled
high that they may be seen and
appreciated.
There may be some amongst us
that may sulk and balk. We must
not feel hard toward them. They
are built that way and are but
fulfilling their destiny. They in
their minds dwell in the past and
are so wrapped in the binding
bandages of narrow self interest
that their vision is not sufficiently
clear to recognize the portentous
flight of time. They do not rea-
lie or appreciate the fact that the
motive power of this, the twentieth
century, is electricity, and that

Within the next three weeks the
new Santa Fee railroad hospital at Los
Angeles will be completed and opened
for use. There Is n probability that
1t will be used jointly by the Santa

hospital facilities there. The build

passes, remarks the Topeka State
Journal. This Is evidently In viola
ton OF the express provisions OF the
law but they will not give up their
passes. An examination OF some Of
the existing railroad laws Of the state
OF Kansas indicates that Il Is abso'
lutely unlawful for the railroad com
parties to Issue free transportation to
public officials. This Is In spite Of the
fact that the anti.pass bill was de-
feate0 at the last session OF the le2is-
lature. Under existing laws, the rail-
road commissioners have authority, on
complaint Of the attorney OF the board,
to Investigate all public officials from
the governor down. and determine
whether or not they are using free
transportation In violation OF law, II
the board should find that free trans.
portatlon has been Illegally issued, II
could order the same cancelled.

PAID
HIS TAXES

When the receiver of taxes at the
county treasurer's office took his po-
sition at the desk this morning he
found waiting Mr.. Jacob Irving, an
old veteran of the civil war. This
Is the first day for the payment of
taxes and Mr.. Irving was the first
man to pay. He follows in the dis
charge of his duties as citizen the
same rule OF promptness and activ-
ity which made him distinguished as
n soldier.
Mr. Irving was with General Grant
at Shiloh and Corinth. He was de-
tailed as orderly at the headquar-
ters of the commanding general at
Corinth and later received an hon
orable discharge on account of ILL
ness. Regaining his health, he re-
enlisted, this time In the cavalry
service, and toward the close of the
war was stationed at Forts Laramie
and Carney He received his final
discharge In 1865.
Mr.. Irving is an old resident OF
Spokane.

POWDER May BE
MANUFACTURED HERE

The Pacific Powder and Fuse COM
pany, lately organized by Spokane
and Montana capitalists, will engage
in the manufacture of powder, dyna-
mite and all kinds of explosives on a
large scale.
'The stockholders Of the new COM
pany are consumers of q large per-
centage of the powder and dynamite
used in the northwest" said f. j.
Roberts this morning. 'It is pro-
posed to save the profits now paid
to manufacturers and middlemen and.
besides. to manufacture for the gen.
eral trade.
I'VE are particularly DESTROYS of
procuring the Alaskan trade" con-
reason it may become necessary to
locate the company's plant some
where on the coast. However, that
has not yet been determined.
THE location of the factory will
depend very largely upon what rates
can be secured from the railroads. 1t
is possible that We may locate In
Spokane. The principal business Of
flee will be here In any event"

the entire reception to Mr.. Piles dur
ing the day and night of his stay
in Spokane is to be entirely informal.
Such a course will best accord with
Mr.. Piles own wishes in the matter

body of citizens of both political

That He Obtained Divorce From
Her by Fraud and Perjury.

the disclosures made In the petition.
Laura Conrad says that he wilfully
abandoned her about May 1, 1901, and
came to Spokane to live. Immediate
ly afterward, however, he commence
ed sending his wife most affectionate
and endearing letters and also sent
her money for the support of herself
and infant daughter. He kept up this
correspondence until August, 1902.
His wife had no letters from him
during the months of August, Sep
TENDER and October 1902, but he
sent her money as usual during that
time.
He began writing again In Novem,
Der, 1902, two months after the entry
Of the decree of divorce. and con-
tinued to write his wife letters full
of tenderness and affection and to
send her money until about the mid
die of January, 1903. Then he ceas-
ed writing altogether and stopped
contributing to the support of wife
and child.
In his letters written after the
judgment and decree of divorce he
never mentioned these matters. When
he stopped his wife made every eff
fort to ascertain why, but could get
no response.
She has been compelled to work
at manual labor for the support Of
herself and little daughter, who Is
now confirmed invalid. She de-
clares that her husband never had
any grounds for decree of divorce
against her and that II she had been
notified of the action she could have
defeated her husband.
Conrad is a most unfortunate man.
While living In the Montvale block
he met with a painful and Distress
| ing accident by the explosion OF
| fashlight powder which partially de-
stroyed the use OF both hands. Be-
sides this he has had many trials and
controversies which have brought
him much before the public gaze.
