our duty as citizens to hold up their
hands and help them in the discharge
of their duties so that the management
of county affairs may be advanced in
stead of going backward. We note
with satisfaction that the officials that
are going into Office are we think
better qualified to handle the county
affairs than the men that held those
offices when we first became resident
Of the county. Let advancement be
our watchword.

Benefits From Advertising.

Many papers are still discussing the
proposition of whether or not adver-
Using pays. Of cours it does. Every
business man who is worthy of the
name knows it. 1t is not lack of know
ledge which holds back the man who is
considering advertising for himself. In
the abstract he is well aware of its
value. 1t is the concrete planking
down of money which he wants, for
something which seems intangible.
Most returns from advertising cannot
be traced, and because of that few keys
furnish adequate proofs af an adver-
tisement's value. The tests of results
10 the best of all. Compare the bust
ness Of the advertising seasons with
that of the season when you do not
advertise. Do not take day or week,
for that is not enough no satisfy. Take
q fair period, depending somewhat on
the line of merchandise you handle;
consider whether your advertising has
been good enough to be fair to that
side of the question, then decide. The
farmer buys his seeds and puts them
into the ground. He buys agricultural
implements and does not sell them
instead, he wears them out, blowing
and narrowing, cultivating, and no
farmer is fool enough to say that his
money for seed and farming tools is
thrown away. They are productive of
profit for him. So with the advertis-
ing. 1t enables you to enrich your
trade soil, to plant your seed; to cul-
tivate it and to reap fruitful harvest.

The New Town Of Shoshoni.
Two and a half miles from the res.
ervation border a new city has sprung
up since the town was plotted some
months since. Its population is of
that active western sort that shows its
aggressive, pushing policy by getting
ready for the future. 1t has banks,
hotels, stores and all those things that
older cities possess for the convent
ence of it's citizens and the stranger
within its gates.
The building Of the Wyoming 4
Northwestern Ry. to- this point will
make it one of the great stock shipping
ccntcrs Of Wyoming.
The terminus of the new line is to
be at Lander, an older city, in the
beautiful Lander Valley, where a great
deal of irrigation has been done,
These western people propose to
take care of the crowds during the res
efvation opening in the best possible
shape, and with that end in view have
inaugurated a system of hotels and
boarding houses under municipal con-
troll. 1t is stated that there will be
no exorbitant prices charged and no
unfair advantage taken of the rush of
business, and municipal ownership
will receive a trial under surroundings
that are certainly unique.
Great Interest is Manifested.
The public is showing a great deal
of interest in this opening of reserva-
ton lands to settlement and the pas
senger department of the Chicago &
Northwestern Ry. is sending out to
inquirers thousands OF copies of pam
phlets which tell in detail how to Sc
cure a quarter section of this land and
what may be expected in the way of
the character of the soil and plans for
irrigation.

an Increase In Salary, Asserting
Work Is Heavier.
The city council is pressing action
on the gutter that is to he constructed
along Norfolk avenue between First
and Sixth streets, and II Is said that
Il survey will be made soon. The con.
tract was let some time ago and the
opinion is expressed by city officials
that the survey should have been
made by City Engineer Solomon some
time ago. At the last meeting of the
council the committee was instructed
to notify Mr.. Solomon that If the sur.
vey Is not made at once, the work will
be turned over to the county surveyor,
1t Is argued that this Is the right
weather for installing the gutter and
that delay is expensive.

City Attorney Weatherby today sent
the specifications and contract to En-
gineer' Andrew Rosewater and It is
said that within a week the contract
will be signed by Contractor Herrlcli,
who is expected to start the digging
within couple OF weeks.
May Raise Clerks Salary.
The city council is considering a
proposition to increase the salary OF
the city clerk. The Office now pays
$500 per year and an increase of 800
or 5000 is under contemplation. The
reason claimed is that the Office now
has more work than 1t has ever had
before. City Clerk HUFF had request
that the council provide the Office with
a typewriter but II the salary Is in
creased he is willing to provide type
writer for himself.

HOMES FOR THOUSANDS.
Great Preparations are Being Made
for Shoshone Reservation Openinq.

Mr.. Clarence T. Johnson, the state
engineer of Wyoming, says that the
irrigation plans now being completed
that are to be thrown open to home.
steaders provide for the irrigation of
100000 acres of the finest agricultural
land in the west. The soil, says Mr..
Johnson, is better and more uniform
in quality than in other irrigated lands
and the water supply of the Big Wind
river cannot be surpassed anywhere.
The soil is a sandy loan, gently slop-
ing to the south and east and the only
part that cannot be irrigated are a
few ridges that serve as wind breaks
and shelter the agricultural country.
In fact, stockmen have admitted that
this section of Wyoming does not make
good winter range, for the reason
that the wind does not blow and the
snow lies on level, making forage
conditions less desirable than where
the wind is heavy.
The ceded portion of the reserva-
tion lands lie from forty-six hundred
