Bryan Eagle:
will write to the Eagle to let
my friends know, who read it,
pages, how we are since our trip
through the country to Runnels
county. We all are very well and
have splendid appetites after camp
ing
We have seen some fine farming
country and some that was not tit
for anything unless it was goats or
something that could climb better.
We passed so much broken coun.
try, range after range Of hills and
mountains. In places there were
fertile little valleys between which
would be very well improved. We
travelled about 325 miles or more
and was glad TO reach our destina
ton. We have not seen around
enough to tell whether We will like
it-well enough to make this our
home, but we are going to stay in
some healthy country and | think
we have found it.
II this country was all level it
would be much prettier to my
eyes. There are so many hills
and hollows, but where the level
places are it is as fine rich land as
we need want.

OBJECT To BOUNTY LAW
Cattle Corporation to Test Bounty Law in
United States court-Asks for
an Injunction

The state of Wyoming is to be
enjoined for paying bounlies for
the destruction of predatory wild
animals, says the Cheyenne Lead
er.
And. strange to relate, the in
junction is to be sued out by a
corporation which is a beneficiary
under the bounty law, according
to the champions of the measures
in the last Legislature.
The detail of the proposed ac-
ton are not entirely available. but
it is known that a foreign cattle
company having large interests
in Laramie county has retained
attorneys to sue for the INDUCTION
in the United States court next
week. The United States court
will be asked to act because the
plaintiff company is a non-resid-
ent corporation, and the grounds
for the injunction will be that
the Bounty law is class legislation
and unconstitutional.
The ground of the company for
instigating the action is that the
bounty appropriation of $4,000
unduly increases taxes, the great
er burden of which falls on the
ranch interests, of which the cor
porations form a part.
The suit will be an innovation
in Wyoming legal annals and it's
outcome will be watched with
great interest, not only by ranch
men and others directly affected
by the bounty law but by the
general public as we'll.

purpose of fixing the valuation of
coal produced in the various
mines of the state and hearing

companies, says the Cheyenne

On the Sth the board will meet
to fix the valuation of livestock
for assessment purposes. The
valuations fixed last year have been
satisfactory and it is believed
the same assessments will be
made again. The board does not

The Open Season"

The open season for fishing
which began here last week, wit
messed a large number of anglers
along the river here. The wealth
er was fine, but the snow and slush
under foot made it anything but
desireable fishing weather. But
the novelty of being able to fish
in March, instead of having to
wait until the LIST of May, drew
very many people out. A great
many trout we're taken here in the
town, and fishermen report that
they are very fat after their long
winter rest.
1t was like a gala day to see the
zeal and activity manifested by
the people who lined the Platte
river on both sides. Every man
who could raise a rod, from the
most fancy and expensive turnout
down to a small boy with a bed
Stat, a piece of clothes line and a
bent pin, was in evidence and the
way the poor trout did suffer was
a caution to snakes.
This enthusiasm will soon wear
off, and by the time the regular
fishing season arrives there will
he no enthusiasm left over-at
least not enough to go round.
