ALBANY AT THE FRONT.

The first county to be called in a
Wyoming convention is Albany, with
its big A.. Therefore it always be-
hooves this political subdivision of a
great state to be ready at all times to
sit up and take notice. 1t was the
first in which a successful industrial
convention was held and the impetus
given to agricultural pursuits by that
meeting was incalculable. 1t has
reached out and captured more first
prizes han sister counties, although
they have been determined, active and
aggressive. Wyoming was first of the
Rocky mountain states at the Portland
exposition, and when they got around
to sizing up our grain at st. Louis, the
judges were astounded by what they
saw. And do you remember where Al
bany county stood in that competition ?
Occupying this proud position, 1t is
meet and proper that Albany county
should represent Wyoming at the good
roads convention at C~hillicothe, Mo,
where thousands of agriculturists will
~congregate. A a of our products
will give them some idea of what is
being done up in the Rocky mountain
region. 1t viii open the eyes of those
Missourians to the fact that there is
q land beyond the Missouri that is rich
and prolific in all that goes to round out
the sum of human happiness. While
the farmer of Missouri sweats and
groans under torrid summer suns, the
combination farmer and stockman Of
Wyoming enjoys refreshing summer
days and cool invigorating nights,
while his crops grow and his stock
fattens to greater profit than in Mis-
souri,. When they take a look into that
car they will find that many crops can
be grown in Albany county without il
rigation-this year has proved a rec
ord-breaker in that respect
Albany county will not charge the
other counties of the state anything
for the great advertisement she is CIV
ing Wyoming. We will simply let the
entire matter go in for the general wei
fare. But when the influx of people
from Missouri begins to arrive, we dc
demand thal we be permitted to select
the best IF them to populate the plains
and valleys of this fair land.

Or. Nelson's Visit at Lander.

DR.. Aven Nelson, secretary of the
state board of horticulture inspected
local orchards when here Monday,
says the Lander Clipper. He reported
the orchards in fine condition, Tree
from blight and all other forms of dis
eases No injurious insects of any
kind were detected. Mr.. Farthing's
nursery was found to be in excellent
condition, most of the varieties being
thrifty and all of them clean. DR.. Mel
son says that home grown stock which
can be Immediately transplanted will
be found to have many advantages over
nursery stock that is shipped in and
often delayed in transit. The fruit
fulness of Mr., Young's orchard, says
Mr.. Nelson, surpasses anything he has
seen either in or out of the state.

A CHOICE OF PREDICTIONS.

While Senator La Toilette of Wis
consin is predicting that within ten
years we shall be in the midst of .
terrible crisis riyalling the Civil war
in horror and Intensity, Governor Folk
of Missouri sees only n bright and al
mring prospect, the dawn of a period
in which lawlessness and privilege
will cease and the establishment Of
equal rights will be complete.
The visions of these prophets are
products of their environment. La
Toilette, in the midst of a struggle
against the railroads, imagines that
his battle is so great that it will in
volve the whole nation and that thus
the crisis predicted will come about
Governor Folk, on the other hand, is
cheered and encouraged by the sue
cess he has achieved in his warfare
against lawlessness n privilege and
his effort to ecure adequate recogni-
ton for the rights of the people. He
thinks there is a great moral awaken
ing n revival; and to a certain eX-
tent he is right, but not to the degree
of justifying his prediction that the
end of lawlessness is at hand.
We see no reason to believe that
human natur has undergone any
great change. 1t is about the same
now that it was before Senator La
Toilette and Governor Folk became
known to the public; and it is improba
hle that either the moral awakening
which one OF these prophets thinks he
sees or the menacing evils which haunt
the dreams of the other will bring
about a radical change either for the
better or for the worse in the near
future.
Good government, the maintenance
of high standards, II the progress Of
civilization itself involve a constant
struggle. Unless there is an effort to
go forward there will be a falling bach.
The foes discerned by Senator La Fol
iette are not altogether imaginary, and
neither is the rose-tinted dawn so
pleasing to the eye Of Governor Folk.
There is an element of truth in each
vision, and because this is true, it is
improbable hat in the immediate fut.
ure either will be fully realized.
There is no great danger that the
foes which are assailing us will achieve
a victory or even gain a notable ad-
vantage. They will press forward, but
they will not prevail. The crisis which
Senator La Toilette thinks he foresees
will not take place-the battle will not
TO that extent go against mankind.
Governor Folk has a right to feel an
couraged and so have all people who
are in sympathy with him in his fight
for good government. But we have
no reason TO believe that the millen-
mum is upon us or that near at hand
the fields Elysian invite to blissful re
pose the champions of the right-Den-
yer Republican.

Are of Great Benefit.
Taking for University.

President f. NJ. Tisdel and Prof. Will
Gilkison of the Wyoming university
at Laramie, Charles Gilkison, a broth
err of Prof. Gilkison, and Ed Schlichter,
a b~rother-in,law of the Gilkisons, Of
Fort Collins, arrived in town Sunday
evening on a camping trip, says the
Walden New Era. They left Laramie
Wednesday and came around by way
of Cameron pass. From here they will
go down through Encampment to Sar-
atoga, and from there back to Laramie.
The party are angling for the fes-
tive trout and incidentally explaining,
to whoever it may concern, some of
the advantages of education, and es.
p~ecially that brand to be had at the
Wyoming university. The gentlemen
are justly proud of the institution they
represent, and as the university is so
near the North park, they consider
this a part of their territory.
A number of the North park boys
have attended the university and be-
cause of our proximity to the Wyo-
ming institution, it is probable the
park will continue to furnish it's quota
of students.
Many improvements have been in
stituted at the Wyoming university
the last year or two and it has been
found necessary to enlarge the build
ings, as well as constructing several
new ones One of the courses of study
to be added this winter which will be
of interest to all ranchmen, is a twelve
weeks term of agriculture. This

many valuable pointers to ranch and

one side of where you struck the

a hare. You acquire wisdom concern

almost too easy. The hare loves
swampy woodland, so, of course, he
merely has skipped for a trifing die
