SARATOGA and Encampment Railrod People
Offer to build Through Saratoga Tor that
sum.-Citizens Meeting Results in Rails.
ine that Amount in Few Minutes.

The railroad situation has been
quite uncertain sc far as Saratoga
is concerned during the past ten
days. The railroad company has
expressed a determination to build
TO the west of the town, some two
miles, if a certain sum was not
guaranteed to them by the citi.
zens of the town A public meet
ing was held Monday night in
the City Hall where the matter
was fully discussed.
The meeting was fairly well at
tended, showing that the interest
in the matter of the road was wide
spread. While there were a great
many who did not take much
stock in the assertion that the
road would miss the town, still
they thought Saratoga could well
afford to give $500 rather than
take any chances. The fact that
we had once before raised over
$1,000 for this same road, at a
time when it promised to be a
trunk line, and give us direct COM
muication with Denver, showed
that the hearts of the Saratoga
people were in the right place and
and they were ready to do the
right thing by even a branch line.
DIR. Sam F. Price and George
W. Plummer were appointed a
committee to perfect the subscrip-
ton list and to frame 3 proper OBJ
legation to go with each mans
donation, SO that themoney would
be forthcoming at the proper time.
1t is now up to the Saratoga &
Encampment road to build if they
car do SO, as Saratoga has done
everything that they have asked
of her. There will be no more
talk of building around the town.
Saratoga is too important a point
for any road, which may be build
ing through the valley, to miss.
She is going after everything in
the shape of roads-steam, cleo
trio, and otherwise. She don't
propose that anything shall get
away from her, for she intends
to be the most important point
in the valley and time will
show that she will be the largest
and best town in southern Wyom-
ing.
James M. Rumsey, r. A. Smi-
ley and l.. E. Armstrong, of Raw
Inns came up Sunday and were III
consultation with Mr.. Hohl, the
general manager and Mr.. Cramer
the chief engineer, with reference
to the right OF way thru the Hot
Springs property. The result
was entirely satisfactory and a
deed for the right.of-way clear
thru the property, together with
grounds for yardage, was signed
and placed in escrow in the Sera-
toga State Bank.
General Mngr. G. NJ. Hohl left
for Omaha Monday at noon, where
he will meet President Cobb,
Secretary Norton and Treasurer
Draper, of the Penn Wyoming
Copper company, and hold a con
sultation concerning the con
struction of the road. There will
also be an important conference
with vice-P President Mohler, of
the Union Pacific.

above the noise, dust and smoke OF
the street hotels.

center of Az acres of beautiful
grounds, with thousands of roses and
other fragrant flowers to beautify the
surroundings.
7th-Eight hundred feet of wide yer.
andas surround the hotel, giving to
the guest opportunities for rest and

Alternating Crops,

In connection with rotation Of crops
the land should be improved every
year. There is a point beyond which
soils can not be permanently enriched
without an improvement of their con-
stitutional organization, which, how
ever, may be done by supplying artifi-
cially those ingredients of a good soil
Of which they are deficient such as
lime, and even sand or clay, If posi-
ble for without changes in the consti-
tutiOnal organization Of the soil we can
not hope to carry it's fertility perma
nently beyond what it mas acquired in
a state of nature. Soils which have
been reduced merely by cultivation,
where they have not been Injured by
washing rains, may De easily reno
waited, and this must be done by again
supplying them with those ingredients
of which they have been deprived sy
bad husbandry. This may be done in
part by the application of manures,
whence we are to draw much of the
necessary supply of vegetable food, and
to this end farmers should freely cu:ti-
yate those crops which derive most Of
their food from It, In soils adapted
for it's cultivation, red clover is most
suitable for this purpose; it is by far
the most convenient and the cheapest
mode of renovating exhausted soils.
not only supplying much vegetable
matter to soils that have been 4. Ich
reduced, but it is admirably calculated
to pulverize and reduce its component
parts to a finely divided state, thus
producing a condition favorable to a
combination with those elementary
substances which are furnished by the
atmosphere, thereby greatly increasing
its capacity for absorbing moisture.
Even weeds, previous to the time Of
ripening their seeds, derive much Of
their nutriment from the atmosphere,
and by destroying them before they
produce seed their product in vegeta-
Bile matter goes to renovate that sd
upon which they have been grown

LOVES REORGANIZATION.

Dear heart. did we meet long ego.
And walk and talk together then?
I think that it must have been so.
Ii so, | wonder where or when.
Oft when you blush or smile for me.
When your eyes droop before my gaze,
For one swift breath l seem to see
Some dim, sweet scene from other days
A CLEAN of gold on a stray tress
OF hair on which the sun has shons.
A loving touch, a soft caress.
Or in your voice some minor tone
Brings back to me, like the sweet chime
OF silver bells on summer air,
The memory of by-go1e zine
OF life and loving otherwlere.
! know that l have loved you, dear,
Fer since l first began to be,
Ny heart had missed you many year,
When, at the last, you came to me,
And then l knew that I had met
The one sought. and by your side
/ stay with nothing to regret,
Because my soul is satisfied.

!. Political Comment.
~ SSSSSSSSSSS[


The Foundation of the Republic.
The annual report which the Hon
James Wilson. Secretary of Agricul-
ture, laid before the nation on Thanks
giving day. is no mere bundle of fig
ures. The greatness of the achievement
| that he records is such that it moves
him TO burst forth into a veritable
psalm Of triumph and prophecy. Hear
| him:
With his surplus beyond the ma
tons need, the farmer has loaded the
fleets of oceans. The farm overshad-
ows the mill, the factory, and the work
shop. A new dignity has come upon
the tiller of the soil, and new
strength. Far back of the fruitful
horizon of his prairie and his noun
tains he sees new horizon, richer in
the eyes Of the future than is the SER
rated sky line of the city"
This is no rhetorical effort to mag
nifty an Office with big words. The
surplus exported from American farms
in 1905 would have paid the national
debt The value of American farm
products this year is at least Sc, 1914
0OO,OC0. This is half a billion more
than in 1905, three-quarters Of billion
more than in 1904, four-fifths of a bill
lion more than in 1903 For this in
crease there is no parallel in the re-
corded history of mankind" The
meaning Of these figures to the nation
lies upon their face. And they have
meaning beyond and above that of
material prosperity.
Many men have smiled over the say
ing of Cato, the Roman, that agricul-
ture was the only gainful occupation
worthy of a gentleman. 1t came from
a narrow mind, but it contained a heart
Of truth. For ages the farmer was
lightly regarded by men successful in
other walks of life. His work was in
dispensable, but to others belonged the
first places in the State. The wheel
has turned full circle, and in this giant
land Of ours the farmer now stands
revealed as the arbiter of material des-
tiny-the foundation of the republic

LOCKED UP AS A LUNATIc.

Fate of Discoyerer OF Steam Engine
200 Years Before Stephenson.
No great genius, certainly no great
inventor, ever lived who was not sup
posed to be a little queer by some of
his fellow men.
Two hundred years before Stephen
son perfected his locomotive French
man, Solomon De Caus, was immured
in the living tomb of the Bicetre for
having allowed his mind to outstrip
the age in which he lived. Marion De
Lorme in a letter dated Paris, 1911,
tells of a visit to this institution.
1--WE were crossing the court" she
writes, land l, more dead than alive
with the fright, kept close to my COM

ANOTHER SET OF PATRIOTS.
Want Protection Removed from the


Other Fellows Products.
AT its closing session in Chicago the
National Association of Agricultural
Implement and Vehicle Manufacturers
adopted resolution calling upon Con-
greSS TO revise the entire tariff laws
bearing upon lumber and its products
and calling for general reciprocity be
tween the United States and all coun-
tries regarding all timber products.
If all the timber which goes into the
construction of an ordinary farm wag-
on was brought from some foreign
country and the duty thereon was paid,
and if the duty paid was added to the
selling price Of the wagon, it would
not increase the pride so much as 30
cents, but when we consider that lum-
Der is home production, it is likely
the price bears no relation to the duty
on material. In so far as American
industry IS concerned, it matters little
whether there is a duty on lumber or
whether it is admitted free. Like many
other products, the protection on lum-
Der, if it can be said the duty is pro-
tective, is a matter of concern to only
a limited territory contiguous to some
other country like Canada or Mexico,
for instance. Lumber of all kinds has
increased many dollars per thousand
feet during the past few years, while
the duty is only 81 per thousand on
cut lumber and less on squared tim
