THURSDAY, JANUARY s, 1905.
TIME TO STRIKE.

Now appears to be the proper time
to combine for a big advance move.
ment in this valley. Inc farmers. the
ranchmen and the business men are all
of one mind in regard to the possibili-
tie and business opportunities of the
Laramie plains. They ALL feel that
our greatest chance for large develop
ment and riches lies through the rails
ing of fat cattle and sheep and through
the production of small grain and 9TH
er ranch produce. Recent experiments
prove in the most conclusive manner
that great things are in store for the
people of this valley.
1t so happens that the field pea
grows upo this soil in the most pro
life name and that 1t makes the best
kline of feed for the fattening of nut
ton n pork. Lambs fattened upon
peas bring more money than those fat,
tened upon any other kind of feed, corn
included. They can be turned right
into the field and permitted to feed
themselves. At the same time a mum
Der OF hogs be allowed to follow
them, thus cleaning up all the feed and
at the same time e%nriching the soil to
such an extent that it Is found un-
necessary to fertilize it in any other
manner.
The statement made the other day
by the president of the Laramie Gro,
Gerry company to the effect that the
grain his company was selling, with
the exception OF corn, was all raised
right here on the Laramie plains was a
great surprise to the people in general.
Some had a vague, indefinite idea that
this valley had been talked about as a
knowledge of the fact that a very con
siderable portion Of h small grain
used here was being raised almost at
their very doors. This production is
being increased with each succeeding
M manStAansA . piece OF soil is once put
in cultivation ii is never permitted to
go back to its virgin condition. 1t
then becomes altogether too valuable
for grazing purposes and the farming
of it continues. the crop being varied
as occasion demands.
Through thorough organization the
people of this plain al go on pushing
this development to an almost indefi
mite degree. This year we can certain
ly raise all the wheat necessary 70:
the consumption of the people of this
county. This will not only cause a
big industry to be established in this
city, but it will save to the county more
than $4,000 that would otherwise sc
to the people of n~eighboring states.
The time to organize is now.

THE LAND FRAUDS.

The prosecution of the men guilty of
land frauds in the northwest is proof
conclusive that the government is de
termined to run all evil-doers into the
~penitentiary that it is possible to get
there. Some of the men charged with
guilt hold high places in the service of
the government, one being a United
States senator and another eX-com,
missioner Of the general land office. 1t
is not probable, judging from the re-
ports, that these men are directly in
terested in the land frauds. Possibly
they have permitted themselves to be
drawn into them indirectly through
their friendship for others. They have
possibly allowed the law to be trans
crossed and may be compelled % suf-
fer in consequence. The mere fact
that they have been indicted is a stain
upon their names that car never be eff
faced.
There is only one safe ground upon
which a public official can stand and
that is the law. If he permits himself
10 be swerved one jot to the right or
to the left, he reaches unsafe ground
and cannot tell where he will land.
One wrong move generally furnishes a
precedent for another and so on, till
the poor miserable nan becomes in
yolved in a hopeless tangle from which
he is only e%xtricated to be taken to the
~penitentiary. The public Is often to
blame for this condition of affairs.
People make demands upon officials
which are not in accord with h law
and the demands are complied with in
order that the favor of the people may
not be lost. Such officials do not real
ize that the public has no respect for
a man who can be used for corrupt
purposes. After he has been thus used
he is thrown away like an old shoe,
%dishonored and forsaken.
For the sake of good government. it
is sincerely hoped that the dishonest
officials wha have been operating in
oregon may be sent to the peniten-
tiary and the fraudulent practices en-
tirely broken up.

NEIGHBoRLY ADVICE.
Freely Given by a Laramie Citizen.

When one has suffered tcrtures
from a bad back and found out how
the aches and pains can be removed,
advice is of untold value to friends
and neighbors, particularly when they
know the statement is absolutely cor
rect. The following neighborly advice
comes from a Laramie resident.
Charles Norton, now retired, of 107
Hodgeman street, says: "One day
while in the Laramie Drug Co.'S store
Ii got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills
probably more III of curiosity than ex-
pecting the medicine to do me n
good because for a number of years
| had difficulty with my kidneys. the
secretions which existed were indicat-
ed by irregularity and 1 noticed when
in this condition my back-ache was
across the loins, and l knew that in
some way my kidneys were affected.
l had an attack, when l began using
Doan's Kidney Pills and l tested the
remedy thoroughly. If everyone in
Laramie receives as positive benefit
from the use of the medicine as l, then
backache or kidney complaint in any
of its forms will cease to exist in this
vicinity"
For sale by all dealers. Price so

years since these bonds were issued,
and they may be refunded at this
time. 1t is entirely probable
bonds could be sold for Az per cent,
thus reducing the interest charge rs per

Is worthy of the attention of the mayor

HIS WIFE.
She Sent Him to Prison for sisamy and
Met Him at Gate.

Sioux City, Ia, Jan. 5.-Declaring
that the fact that she sent him to pris-
on was no reason why he should be
angry with her, Frank B. Milholland
celebrated his release from the South
Dakota penitentiary by marrying the
wife who sent him there on a charge
of bigamy. Three years ago Mrs. Mil
hollond found he had married Miss
Edna Newton, a young girl of Alpena,
S. D., and she promptly had him ar
rested and prosecuted him in the trial
which ended in his going to the peni-
Tertiary. While he was in prison the
Newton girl died, n when he left
prison Mrs. Milholland had a license
in readiness and they were married

THE SUPERIOR CLAIMS OF EDDIE,

He is always ready
To declare no other lad

Bumps of self approval, too:

Ready to admit that he
Hadn't all things that could be
Gathered fran a Christmas tree

Tommy Gray could match him.
There they stood and there they lied,
Each consumed with foolish pride,
But the Gray boy had to quit
When proud Eddie said: "One day.
