| The keynote of Mr. GibSOn's little
but important work may be held to
be struck in the foreword which faces
his opening chapter: so great are
the opportunities offered by specula-
| tive changes, that. with proper meth
eds and self-Control, the poor man can
not afford 10 overlook them" While
the public attitude toward speculation
is undeniably hostile. there has been
modification of harsh judgment of late.
as a more general knowledge of such
matters has spread and as it has come

mate business when business methods
are applied to it, And ii is in fulfill
mCnt of Il duty to the public that Mr..

facts which will lead to a correct line
of thinking, and has pointed out the
reasons for the failure of so per cent
of the spectators as well as the meth

The book deals entirely with margin
al speculation, a subject on which our
stock of authoritative literature is mea
ger. The late Charles H. Dow, the
founder of the Wall Street Journal
was a pioneer along several lines of
financial writing, and was one of the
first to write of market matters from
the position of the speculator OF mod
crate means. His were newspaper ar
ticles. however, and not intended for
book publication. Since Mr. Dow's
time no writer had appeared to handle
the subject of marginal speculation
with anything approaching the know
ledge of the subject the breadth of
view and the hardheaded. common
sense treatment that Mr.. Gibson de-
votes to it. He has succeeded in plac-
ing himself in the attitude of the spec
ulator, and from his wide experience
with the machinery of the exchange
and the technicalities of the market
he has explained and made clear many
of those movements. and conditions
alarming and fraught with danger TO
the imperfectly informed, especially
when their reasoning powers may be
atrophied by the knowledge that they
have money in jeopardy.
Mr.. Gibson lays down Is basic prin-
ciples as applicable to the direction of
speculative or marginal accounts. and

NOT READY FOR osLERIsM.

The Republicans attention having
been directed to certain publications
in Cheyenne and Denver papers to the
effect that Hon. Otto Gramm Of this city
was on the verge of retirement from
public life, inquiry was made as to the
truth or falsity Of the statements. II
can be positively stated that Mr.,
Grainm has not reached any such con
cluslon as the articles in question indi-
cate. He is still in the prime of strong,
vigorous manhood and does not feel
that he is ready for the doctrine OF
Prof. osler.
When Mr.. Gramm gets ready to Ie'
tire from the life of great activity
which he has led, he will make due
announcement thereof. Pending this
announcement Mr.. Gramm's friends
and the public generally can rest as
sured that his industry and energy IN
all matters pertaining to the public vel
fare and to his varied business inter
ests will not be relaxed for a moment

H NEW YEAR

The year 1906 was a great n In the
history of the Gem City. The year
1907 promises to be a better one. EV-
cry line of industry Is active and gain
ing in strength. Every business man
is confident that his trade will be great
err than In the past. The faith is justi-
fed.
Our principal sources of business
and revenue are the Union Pacific rail
road, the rolling mills, the tie plant
the plaster plants, the stock and farm
ing business and the mining business
Are any oil those industries langulsh-
ing? Not in the slightest degree. On
the contrary there has never been a
time in the history of the state when
they we're more active or the outlook
for the future was brighter. In the
stock business in particular there mas
been a Frightening in recent months
Perhaps it would be more accurate to
says there has been an equalization OF
the business. Cattlemen are getting a
greater reward for their efforts than
they were a year ago and sheepmen
and horsemen have not been compelled
to relax one whit, their profits being
as great as ever.
The greatest source of cash venue
to Laramie comes from the employees
of the Union Pacific, and the outlook
is that 1t will he measured only by the
capacity of the men to work. The com
pany's business is greater than at any
former period in its history and 1t is
straining every nerve to enlarge Its
means for handling the great traffic
that is coming to 1t. Double-tracking
is going on with all possible speed and
branch lines are being constructed in
some sections. The rolling mill at this
point is constantly being improved and
more and more men are being placed
upon the payroll. In the railroad in
dustry, so far as the city of Laramie
is concerned, the Laramie Plains line
is also assuming a position of great I'M
portance. Enough steel has been pur-
chased and is on the way to finish the
line to Centennial, where it will be able
to get much traffic from the Douglas
creek mining district and the surround
ing mountains. Already it has handled
considerable traffic in the way of hay,
sheep, cattle, etc. 1t passes near to
good veins of coal that may be develop
ed and made OF great merchantable val
ue to the people of Laramie. That
coal could be marketed here for less
than three dollars per ton.
In the building line in Laramie the
improvement will doubtless be meas
ured only by the capacity of our con
tracing firms to put up houses. Every
contractor is pushed 20 the utmost and
every mechanic is busy.
Without going into detail, Tho Re
publican confidently looks for the year
1907 to bring us greater business pros
perity than any year in our history.

of Dastervignes against the United
States, that the provisions of the act
of March 4 1897, d~elegating to the sec
rotary the power to make regulations,
is constitutional. that theregulations,
prohibiting the p~asturing of sheep on
forest reserves without a permit is val
i'd, and that the federal courts will en-
force the regulation ty injunction.
An Emphatic Opinion.
The supreme court of Arizona, three
judges sitting, in the case of Dent
against the United States (76 Pacific
Reporter, 455), went still further, I'M
der circumstances which made the de-
cision most emphatic. Dent was Grim
inally prosecuted for grazing sheep on
a forest reserve without a permit, In
violation of the regulations, and the
court had held that his act was not a
crime; but as soon as the Dastervignes
case was decided for the government
the Arizona court granted a ~rehearing
of the Dent case and held that the Das-
tervignes decision was binding on all
courts in the Ninth circuit in criminal
as well as civil cases, Int that Dent
was therefore guilty of a crime.
Must Go to Highest Court.
So far. therefore, the court decisions
as to the criminality of trespass con
trary to the forest reserve regulations
are conflicting. Final adjudication OF
the point can not be had until the rul
ing of the higher court has been Sc
cured; but no court has questioned the
right of the secretary of agriculture tc
make regulations and to recover dam
ages for trespass through civil action
Grazing t~respassers will be restrain
ed from violation of the regulations by
injunction proceedings and sued fol
civil damages until the higher courts
shall have reached a decision as to thu
criminal character of such trespasses
The forest service will continue to ex
clude unpermitted stock from all for
est reserves and to collect grazing fee
for all stock under permit.

the wise n logical thing to do, but
those who cannot get their wheels out

years Mr.. Hays consistently tried to

Woman's Trials.

The bitter trail in a woman's life Is to
be childleSs. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt to
resign herself to her lonely lot? The alb
sence of this link to bind marital life
together. the absence of this one pledge
to mutual affection is a common diSap-
pointment. Many unfortunate couples
become ~estranged thereby. Even if they
o not drift apart, n may read the whole
extent of their disappointment in the eyes
OF such a childless couple when they rest
on the children of Others. To them the
largest family does not seem too numerous.
