tiers of the American Revolution held
its annual meeting Wednesday after
noon at the residence of Mrs. Fitch,
transacting much business of interest
and importance at that time. The cleo.
ton of officers resulted as follows:
Regent-Mrs. R. e. Fitch.
Secretary-Mrs. w. H. Reed.
Historian-Mrs. Clara Blake.
Registrar-Miss Grace Davis.
Treasurer-Dr. Grace Raymond He
bard.
Mrs. Fitch becomes by virtue of her
office the delegate to the national meet
ing Of the organization, which will be
held at Washington in April, and Mrs.
S. c. Parke of Lander was made the
alternate. Mrs. Parke, who was one

be reelected, as she has filled this i'm
portant office most satisfactorily and
creditably. 1t was announced that
President Tisdel and Prof. Downey
have interested themselves in the prize
of $40 in gold offered by Jacques Lar
annie chapter for the best essay on
The Overland Trail" and a number
of university students have entered
the competition. The winner of the
award will deliver the successful essay
in the university auditorium during the
month Of April. Each year the chapter
seeks in some way to advance the prin-
ciIles of the D. A. R., marking its mile
stones with gifts of appropriate por-
traits, volumes, etc. This year the
public library, so recently installed in
the new Carnegie building, was select
ed as the medium to further the work
of education, and Henry Cabot Lodges
stirring STORY OF the Revolution" will
be added to the historical shelf in the
library. If the library already posses
SEES this particular work, something
similar will be substituted. Mrs. Fitch
was made chairman of the committee
which is endeavoring to locate and
properly mark the burial place of
Jacques Laramie. 1t was thought the
spot marked by a deserted cabin near
Wyoming station was the point in
mind but later information seems 10 in
dictate this view to be a mistake, and
the chapter will begin the search anew,
the lapse of years since the demise of
the pioneer increasing the difficulty of
the quest. Jacques Laramie chapter
has a number of nonresident members
in addition to the band of patriotic wo-
men who SO ably administer its affairs,
and several ladies who are eligible to
membership in the D.. A. d. have signi-
fed their intention of uniting with the
local chapter at an early date.

ening at the Hogbin residence, begin
ming at that time the course in civics
