The Girl Who Works.

God bless the girl who works! She
is brave and true and noble. She is not
too proud to earn her own living or
ashamed to be caught at her daily task.
She smiles at you from behind the desk,
counter or printers case. There is a mem
DRY of her sewed up in the silent gown.
She is like brave mountaineer already
far up the precipice- climbing, strug-
Cling, rejoicing. The sight should be
an inspiration to us all. 1t is an honor
to know this girl and be worthy of her
esteem. Lift your hat to her, young
man, as she passes by. Her hand may
be stained by dishwashing, sweeping,
factory grease or printers ink, but it is
an honest hand and a helping hand. 1t
stays misfortune from home; it supports
an invalid loved one maybe; is loving,
potent shield that protects many a
family from the almshouse. All honor
to the brave toilar! God bless and
protect the girl who works! Chicago

Wyoming Letter.

Merna, Wyo., Jan. 10, 1905.
EDITOR REPoRTER:l have thought
so many times of writing letter to THE
REPORTER and telling my many friends
in old Decatur county, where we are
located and how like this country. l
like this country just fine, although it is
quite different from our old home state.
The houses here are all log but are
warm and comfortable and some of them
are furnished inside equal to most east
ern homes. We are located in what is
known as the upper Green River coun-
try near the head of Horse Creek, a
tributary of Green River. We have
$40 acres of land, mostly meadow land.
We are ITO miles from Opal, our near
est railway station. We are 40 miles
north Of the Big Piney county where
most of the Decatur county people live.
We have had an exceptionally fine
winter. There is only 3 or 4 inches of
snow on the ground here now, and stocH
of all kinds is rustling on the range and
in fields except calves and poor COWS.
There was a large hay crop here this
last year, but on account of the light
winter there is not much sale for it.
What little is sold brings $3.50 to $500
per ton. They raise timothy, Red Top
and Alfalfa aud the native grass which
comprises Buffalo and Gramma grass
and Bluestem. They claim there is as
much strength in-t the native grass as
there is in the timothy and oats that
are raised in the east. There was a
great many oats raised down in the
Piney country this last year, with a
gosd yield per acre and sells at $500
per 100 lbs. The ranches are located
on the rivers and creeks and are irri-
gated by bitches surveyed from these
streams. The creeks are supplied with
water from the snow that falls on the
mountains. The large pine forests
shades the snow so that it does not
melt off until late in the spring and
simmer and affords abundant water for
irrigation. 1t looks very odd to see $40
acres of land with water all over it,
irrigated from ditch or 5 feet wide
and l ! or 2 feet deep.
There is sawmill located one and
one-half mile from our ranch. They
have sawed 100000 feet and expect to
saw that much more before spring.

HARRY j. VOGT s co.

They charge $3.50 per 1000 feet for saw
ing it and the ranchers put the logs into
the mill as there is a reserve law on
the forest and only ranchers can get
timber. The forest is protected by
forest rangers hired by the govern
ment and receive a salary Of $50 per
month.
There is no church nearer than the
railroad. We have school house five
miles away. The school district here is
twice as large as Decatur county with
several school houses in the district.
Our postoffice is three miles away and
the mail comes three times week in
summer and twice week in winter.
There is new town just starting up
called Pinedale which is about 80 miles
northeast OF us. The Binning Bros. are
located near there and have a large
tract of land and large herds Of cattle.
There is a weekly paper printed in
Pinedale called ".The Pinedale Round-
up and gives all the news in general.
There is much talk of railroad going
up the Green river country which will
be much help to our country. Our
country is progressing nicely and we
think it will soon be up with any of the
frontier states.
We are also going to have a telephone
near here next year which will be a
great benefit to all the settlers.
Not wishing to tire anyone especially
the editor l Will close by wishing all
success throughout the new year.
Yours Very Respectfully.

Ever since road racing became an
established sport, this magnificent
trophy, presented by Americas fore
most sportsman. has been to the au-

cup is to yachtsmen. but the recent
action of the Automobile Club of

France. with her many manufac-
turers and great financial interests
centered in automobile manufacture,
is placed on the same plane with
Switzerland, Belgium and other coun-
tries where the industry is repre-
scented by but one or two firms.
1t is claimed that this side of the
case is balanced by the assumption
that the three cars selected in the
French eliminating trials from a
score or more competing machines,
represents a higher degree of excel

by another country, but this is not
considered by the French manufac-

tomohilc Club of France has also de-
Cided that after this year it will have
nothing to do with the Gordon Ben

The conditions of the proposed

those of the Gordon Bennett race
that the latter will be forced into
second place, at least as long as the
cup remains in France. Perhaps, if
it is won this year by an English,

will assume the place in the auto
