1t has been much discussed question
in Wyoming whether or not town had
a right under the statutes to enact an
ordinance impounding range cattle that
wandered into the city limits says the
Thermopolis Record. Many people
contend that inasmuch as this is free
range state town had no right to in
terfere with range stock roaming at will.
Grand Encampment has recently had a
test case in the district court which was
watched with considerable interest.
Judge Craig found for thetown, deciding
that the power TO enact police regula-
tions, which is distinctly conferred on
towns by the statutes of the state, COW

To Tap Alaska's Copper Region.

According TO reports from San Fran
cisco the biggest milionaires in the
country have hatched a scheme to tap
the heart of Alaska for copper Such
men as j. p. Morgan, the Guggenheims
and the Havemeyers are behind the
new enterprise. Four hundred miles
of steel rail will be laid from Valdez
into the interior Of Alaska. Grading
has begun on the line and it is announc.
ed that 900 men will be laying track
by April |. This will be the most i'm
portant move ever made in Alaska.
Experts say that it means greater de-
velopment Of rich mineral resources
than has been seen in the Transyaal or
anywhere else. The country has been
carefully prospected and its copper
wealth is reported to be enormous. The
richest fnanciers in America are back
of the new line and the biggest mining
experts in the world are interested in
the new scheme. The road will open up
country which has heretofore been
inaccessible to the miner because of the
hardships attending its invasion and
the hostility Of the Indians.

Life" by Will Sager and an essay on
Longfelow's Friends both deserve es-
pecial credit. Also paper on Long

Clark gave us many interesting facts.
We enjoyed recitation, washington g
Kiss" by Louise Monheim, and two
recitations, Independence Bell" by
Bessie Clark, and "Washington's Birth

good for the expression given them.
Altogether the program was an interest

pleased to see so many visitors present

The Legislature of South Carolina has
abolished the dispensary law. South
Carolina has given thorough trial to
the dispensary system, and having
found it failure both as a temperance
reform, and as a revenue producer, has
decided to abandon it and return to the
license system. 1t was promised for
the system that it would do away with
treating, but blind pigs took the places
of the saloons, and the evil went on as
before. The experiment in South Caro-
lima was made faithfully, but there
seems to be no doubt that it has failed.

1t is very evident fact that Congress
man Martin is not losing any ground OH
this side OF the river in his candidacy
for the senate. His attitude on railroad
legislation and his activity in trust legis-

support from those who are friendly TO
such legislation. 1t is freely admitted
that the country west of the Missouri

placement of an honor to confer the

The Western Star, published at Mid

to gain in his illumination and aspersion
