Animals Not Becoming Smaller.

1T is a great mistake to conclude
that it is a law of nature that recent
animals are all small and Insignificant
as compared with their represent
atives in the past" says a scientist.
THAT is simply not true. Recent
horses are bigger than extinct ones
and much bigger than three-toed and
four-toed ancestors of horses. Recent
elephants are as big as any that have
existed, and much bigger than their
early elephantine ancestors. There
never has been any creature of any
kind-mammal. reptile, bird or fish
in any geological period we know OF
so big as some of the existing whales"

The regular monthly meeting of the
Laramie Commercial club was held at
the city hall last night, with Vice
President T. H. Simpson, Secretary H.
A. Gonden and Assistant Secretary
Corlett Downey present, besides a
number of the other members of the
club. The most important matter for
consideration was the copy Of the ag-
ricultural pamphlet to be issued by
the club and prepared by Prof. B. C..
Buffum, who read enough of it to give
the members of the club an insight
into its contents. The question of
printing an edition of $500 copies was
discussed, the matter being left in the
hands of the committee on publicity
and advertising and finance committee.
There was a disposition on the part of
some to %condense the pamphlet into

report. The pamphlet will contain the

Wonderful Array of Facts.

Prof. Buffum, who is indeed an en-
thusiast in agriculture in Albany
county, has lone well his work in pre-
pairing the matter for publication, and
to the committee was left a hard task
to condense the pamphlet into present
needs. The matter is prepared from
statistics gathered by the director of
the experiment station of The Uni9er
sity of Wyoming and from other re
liable and trustworthy sources. and
contains a wonderful array of facts of
the possibilities of the science on the
Laramie plan. Not less astonishing
is the climatic report prepared from
observations at the station for the past
fifteen years, showing that Albany
county is one of the most favored
spots in the matter of weather, precip-

United States. Reports of our very Sc

Magnificent Crop Report.

The sections of the report relating
to the production of crops of grain,
grasses, fruits and vegetables are mar
velous in their revelations, and cannot
but impress the readers of the pamph-
let with the certainty of crops, the
availability of lands and the equable
climate. Prof. Buffum from the data
in his Office has compiled a number of
tables showing the results of years of
study and practical experience in the
growing of alfalfa, oats, wheat, barley,
grasses, vegetables and potatoes. To
this latter crop he is able to bring tie
statement that few crops give greater
returns anywhere in the country. This
is also true of onions, turnips, carrots
and other roots, the figures bringing
bubbles of satisfaction from the list

mad enterprise that resulted so tragi-

that nothing short of a mental re-

a Presbyterian after the most ap-

remain standing whenever preacher or
layman made prayer. He Is de-
scribed by Mr.. Kent who has as vivid
recollection of him as if he had lived
yesterday, as a man or ordinary call
ber with a propensity to business
failure in whatever he attempted. He
was postmaster at Randolph, CraW-
ford county, Pennsylvania, before go
ing to Franklin in 1886. 1t was at
the solicitation of the late Zenas

Brown was of brief duration and the
business of tanning hides was never
carried on by its members as intend

vim Kent, who later became the father
of his namesake town, rented the
tannery Immediately after the placing
of the watts and operated it for four
years. This was in 184S. John Brown
then took a construction contract on
the line of the Ohio and Pennsylvania
canal from Kent to Akron, during
which he traded many hundreds of
dollars with the Kents. Marvin Kent,

of great magnitude was formulated
that took form in the Franklin Land
company, organized in 1886. Dreams
of an inland metropolis that should
become a great center of trade and
manufacture and that should be the
clearing point for this section of Ohio
were shared both by the most con-
servative and most Jealous exponents
of the amplified plan, and John
Brown at once began to figure out
his part in the scheme of progress
and profit. He associated himself
with Mr.. Thompson and the two
purchased what was then known as
the Haymaker farm of over one hun
dred acres, which they fastened to
plot into Brown and Thompson's Ad-
dition to Franklin Village" This
land lies in what is now great resi-
dence and manufacturing district in
the village of Kent, and had the plans

the visions of great Cuyahoga city
faded as rapidly as they had formed
Brown and Thompson had borrowed
money for their enterprise of Herman
Oviatt and Mr.. Wadsworth, who ul-
timately purchased the plotted tract
to protect their interests. They af-
terward sold the land to Marvin Kent,
who is the present owner.
After Brown and his partner had
purchased the Haymaker farm, the
former moved into the house above
mentioned and this was his sole abode
DUNG his residence in the community.
The house was built by Mr.. Hay
maker in 1889 and is at present tenn
porarily tenanted by two families.
When Mr.. Kent acquired ownership
of the property he converted the
house into boarding house, to which
use it was devoted for many years,
and now that the Falls Rivet indus
! try has located near the building, Mr..
Kent intends to again utilize it for
