A BULWARK OF STRENGTH.

Laramie has always been n bulwark
Of financial conservatism and strength.
Its people have Just as much faith In
the banks here as they have in their
building association, II II is a thing
to swear by. In fact, the building as
ISOLATION has been the foremost institi.
ion in intoxicating habits of economy
and frugality. The members, and they
compose a large number of the people
of the community. have become so used
to saving a small sum monthly for the
payment of building association dues
that 1t has become to be almost second
nature. This nice nest-egg has come
in play GU many occasions. 1t has no.
only helped the workingman, but 1t has
helped the business nan and even the
banker. The steadying influence II
such an institution, running on year at
ter year, cannot be computed. The Re
publican knows of one case In which 4
business man of Laramie bought a bus
mess block, turned 1t into the building
association and actually received an
income over and above the monthly
payments required to pay off the loan,
Figurat!vc!y speaking, the building as
ISOLATION actually made him n present
of the block and a small stipend each
month besides.
Blu 1t vas not our purpose to write
an article praising building associa'
tons. The great financial strength o,
the city was the question uppermost
Those who recall the days of the 1893
panic remember that all u business
houses passed through in remarkably
good shape IL there were no failures,
either financial OF commercial. A lit
tie furry like that of last week is NOT
to be considered by the people here.
They only look on, sympathize, regret
and deplore.

CHANGE IN SCHOOL METHODS.
Consolidated Temples Of Learning 10
Now the Order.

THE old country schoolhouse of not
sc long ago will soon be = relic Of the
past" said James Tighe Of Altoona.
Pa, according to the Washington Post.
although mi travelling through the
country sees many of these old FASH
toned structures, he does not realize
that they are rapidly being deserted
and that a consolidated schoolhouse
will be met with farther up the road.
These new buildings II graded, and
many have several high school
courses, SO that one teacher now
teaches only one class, whereas in
the old days the pedagogue taught
everything from the alphabet to Latin.
OF course, the consolidated school
house is not 80 convenient to all the
children, as they have to go q greater
distance. but all of them ride. to school
nowadays. The consolidated school
il much cheaper to the community,
and what the farmer saves In taxes he
puts in sleighs and wagons, SO that
his children may ride. Pupils a
also remain at their home school
much longer than they formerly
could. and this also Is . great saving.
We may expect great results from
this change, for the farmers with their
poor schools have turned out some
wonderful men. and they should do
even better under the new condi-
tons.

SOME UNIVERSITY NOTES.

Reprinted from the University Nc
LANCE for November.
The National Association of State
University Presidents meets this year
at Washington on November 10. IS
and 20. President Tisdel is to read a
paper on "The Place of Cultural Stu
dies in the Program of the Technical
Schools"
The cooperative sheep breeding ex
periments with the United States de-
partment Of agriculture will at the
beginning of the breeding season have
246 high-class breeding ewes and Ave
first prize purs-bred Rambouillet rams.
The flock Of breeding ewes will be in
creased this week by the addition On
sixty pure-bred Rambouiilet ewes from
f. j. Billiard, Fresno. CAL; forty ewes
and n yearling ram from r. A. Jack
son. Rayton. Wash; thirty ewes from
the Butterield Live Stock company.
| Weiser, Idaho; and twelve ewes from
w. s. Hansen, Collinsworth, Utah.
These, with the 104 ewes previously
purchased, will constitute the flock.
AS soon as the new stock is brought
lin, the whole flock will be turned out
on the King Brothers range and the
breeding will begin about December
From forty-eight ewes from last years
experiment the station has t~hirty-eight
lambs.
Circulars are being sent out from
the university announcing the winter
course in agriculture, beginning Janu-
airy 7, 1908, md continuing for eight
weeks. The course is intended partic'
ularly for men n women who are &C
lively engaged in ranching and farm
ing and who are unable to get to the
university for a full years work. These
courses have been exceedingly popu-
lar in some of the eastern schools, at
tracing a great many men who have
been in the farming business for
years, but who are eager to take ad-
Vantage of the newer scientific meth
DDS. The course offered at the n
versity for the coming term will be
field agriculture, including soils, crops,
cultivation and fertilizers; stock feed
ing, breeds and stock judging; irriga-
ton and drainage; agricultural chem
istry: agricultural botany; farm ma.
chinery; blacksmithing; and the study
of wool. The department of home
Economics intends to offer a course in
domestic science, beginning at the time
OF this short course, and many Of the
women Of Laramie have already signi-
| fed their intention of taking the work.

the grocer's clerk, where woman is

Senator Warren. just from his first
European trip, is reported by New
York dispatches as being intensely in.
terested in financial matters. He is of
the opinion that the nation must have
n stronger law regulating trust com
pany reserves. The Republican would
ike to see the senator introduce a bill
Tor an act that would secure all deposit
tors just as fully as the national bank
note-holders are secured. No one ques'
tons a national bank note at the pres
ent time, for the reason that everyone
knows the government is behind it
and will pay it in full. If depositors
were protected in the same way. by the
levy of a small tax. there would be no
occasion for a run upon a bank ana
there would be none.

THE STATE FAIR.

If reports are true. the people Of
Douglas are wondering whether the
state fair game is really worth the
candle. They have spent n lot Of
money and many citizens have given
n large amount of time to the show
without compensation. The return to
Douglas in advertising has been coli
siderable; the return in money has
not anywhere near warranted the ex
penditure demanded of the citizens.
After the third years fair accounts
have beer balanced it is found that
there is but $4,000 LETT 10 give the
fourth show.
In commenting upon the matter the
Casper Tribune says:
THE state fair has not been a finan
cial success, and it seems to be the
sentimen. of the people in Douglas,
the state fair city, that to hold a state
fair in Wyoming at the present time
is premature. Although the attend
ance has been all that could have
been expected, and the gate receipts
amounted to several thousand dollars
StIu Sal III NhS ENePAS
and other towns in the state have
loosened their purse strings very lib
orally, the state fair commission will
have but a balance of $4,000 to start
In with for tie fair next year, after
receiving an appropriation of $4,000
from the state, besides the gate re-
ceipts and donations from the citi'
zens. 1t is estimated that this years
fair cost in the neighborhood of SIS
600, and If this is correct, 1t does moi
look very encouraged for next years
show, with a capital of but $4,000 to
start in with, for if next years fair
will cost as much as the one did this
fall, $4,000 will have to be raised' On
account of this deficiency Of funds
some of the people of Douglas declare
that the state fair is a white elephant
on their hands, and they don't want
it any longer.
THE fair this fall was the third to
be given by the state, and nearly $25,,
900 has been appropriated by the state,
m nearly $4,000 has been raised by
gate receipts, entrance fees and dona
tons, making a total expenditure OF
about S55 900 for the three fairs.
AT the session of the state legisla
ture three years ago $4,000 was ap'
propriated for the fairs for two years,
and Douglas was selected as the place
to hold it. 1t was claimed that the cost
of the buildings the first year would
amount to several thousand dollars,
and the appropriation at the next ses
sion for the mex two years would not
need to be so much, but at the next
session of the legislature the appro
priation was raised to $4,000, besides
a deficiency appropriation of nearly
81. 900. 1t was thought that this amount
would surely be sufficient, inasmuch
as the buildings had been erected ami
paid for. but again the people of the
state have been disappointed. as will
be seen from the following item pub
lished in the Douglas Enterprise: AT
ter paying all bills there will be a bal.
ance of $4,000 to the credit of the
state fair board. In other words tho
board will have about that amount to
start with on next years fair. The
holding of a state fair in this state Is
just about five years too soon"
