THE EXPERIMENT STATION WILL
MAKE DISPLAY OF STOCK
AND PRODUCTS AT MEET
ING NEXT WEEK.
Exhibit Of Sheep Will Include Fifteen
Breeds, Largest Number Ever
Shown in West, Including Animals
Never Exhibited at Similar Meet
ing-WooI, Grains, Cattle and
Horses to Be Included in List.

The experiment station of the Uni
versity of Wyoming will make a dis

Hereford bull, a Hereford COW, two
Hereford heifers, a pair of Percheron
mares, forty head of sheep, two Berk
shire sows, two Tamworth boars, a col
lection of grains, a collection of woods
and a collection of vegetables. 1t will
be the most remarkable exhibit ever

and at but few state fairs. 1t will EN-,
brace a greater number Of breeds OF
sheep than was ever shown in the
United States, some of the animals
never having been exhibited here. 1t
will cover the work Of the station, both
in the matter of animal and farm fea'
lures. The exhibit is now being pre-
pared and will be in shape by the time
of the opening of the fair on Monday.
The wool, vegetables and grains are
about ready and the stock will be TAX
en- out Sunday.
Room for Exhibit.
Director ]. D. Towar of the station
has reserved enough rOom in the diff
ferent halls and enough pens and sta
bles for the display. The exhibit will
in no wise compete with other EXHIBITS,
and will not be shown as a superior
of animals and products, but
the result of the efforts of the sta
ton to further the stock and farming
interests of the whole state.
The Flock Exhibit.
The sheep exhibit will include the
fifteen breeds owned by the station,
which will be exhibited in twenty pens.
Each breed will be marked for the ben
eft of the public, and where two
breeds are contained in one pen, the
two breeds will be marked on the in
dividual animals. The list will include
the following ewes:
Three Rambouillettes.
Two Southdowns.
Three Oxfords, including n lamb
Two Hampshires.
Two Lincolns.

Some Rare Animals.

Among the sheep will be some never
before shown in this county and never
seen by many of the people who will be
at the fair next week. These include
the Leicester, the Wensleydales, the
horned Dorsets, the Romney Marsh,
the Tunis and the Persian fat-rumps.
These latter are for exhibition pur'
poses only. Each has two large bags
Of fat on the rear portion of the body,
which is said to be good for food. The
wool Is coarse and the yield not great,
the animals being bought for the pur.
pose of exhibition, and with little hope
of getting a great deal of good from
them. There is a pair of the animals,
the ram and eve each having the pc.
culiar bags OF fat.
Two Beautiful Mares.
The Percheron mares to be exhibited
are beauties, among the finest in the
country, one of which is driven by Di
rector Towar considerably. Both are
full blooded and are used for breeding
purposes.
The cattle include the Hereford bull,
Polled Laramie, twenty-five-months old
the COW is Polled Lora, four years old
and the two heifers are Donald's Maid
twenty months old land Laramie Lora
seventeen and one-half months old.
The collection of vegetables is made
by Mrs. Musser, the wife of the farmer
and includes the vegetables grown or
the farm in the experiments and fol
domestic purposes.

Could Not Be Held.

Whites contention was that he
could not be held for the fencing, as it
was lone prior to his coming on The
land, under entries by the widows of
old soldiers and others. In support of
his he offered in evidence some old
deeds to the land, but the government
proved the deeds invalid and showed
its own clear title to the land.

SOUTH AMERICAN RAILWAYS.

They Run East and West Instead OF
North and South.
Although to the North American
opponents of that project there has
seemed discouraging lack Of interest
in the Pan-American railway scheme
on the part of South American railroad
men, there has really been no cessa.
tion of the activity in their more i'm.
mediate spheres, says the American
Review of Reviews.
Let us build the lines the country
needs" they say, land don't ask us to
go out of our way to further a scheme
which, however practicable from an
engineering point of view, would not
pay us dividends in this century. and
possibly not in the next.
1--WE concede that we might benefit
indirectly through tho increased stabil.
ity of government that would follow
the building of an intercontinenta
line, but that benefit is too remote to in.
terest us at time when we have
ample opportunity for expanding all
our available funds in the construction
of lines that will yield returns from
the day they are opened"
So it happens that while there has
never been so much activity in railway
construction in South America as at
the present time, almost without excep.
tion the new lines are following the
parallels rather than the meridians,
running east and west rather than
north and south.

FOR SELFISH ENDS.
The Efforts Being Made by the Amerl.
can Medical Association.

The Political activity of the Ameri.
can Medical Association has become
SO Pronounced as to cause comment
in political circles especially as the
the avowed purpose of the Doctors Of
the Regular" or Allopathic school. Of
which the Association is chiefly com.
posed, is to secure the passage of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale of so-called Patent" medicines.
but will restrict the practice of medi.
cine and healing to the schools" now
recognized. This in many states would
prevent the growing practice of o.
teopathy, and in nearly every state
would prevent the healers of the
Christian Science and mental science
belief from practicing those sciences
in which the faith of so many intelli.
gent people is SO firmly rooted.
The American Medical Association
has Committee on Legislation"
and the committee has correspond
ents in practically every township
some 10000 correspondents in all.
This committee at the last session of
the American Medical Association
held in June of this year expressed
hope that larger number of physi-
clans than heretofore will offer them
selves as candidates for Congress at
the first opportunity. In it's annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands of the move
ment, however, particularly If the
work of active participation in State
legislation is undertaken, a larger
clerical force must be employed"
This is almost the first time in the
history of the United States that any
organized class has frankly avowed
the purpose of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their
own selfish interests.
The American Medical Association
has about $4,000 members of whom
$4,000 are fully constituted mem
bers" and the rest are members be-
cause of their af1iliation with state or
local societies. The Association owns
real estate in Chicago valued at SILL
1871 and its total assets are $780,
567.S9. Its liabilities, at the time of
the annual report which was made at
the June meeting, amounted to only
$21,906. The excess Of assets over
liabilities is increasing at the rate of
about 100000 year, and the purpose
of the organization is to dominate
the field of medicine, and by crushing
all competitions by securing the pas.
sage of prohibitive legislation, compel
all of the people Of the United States
to pay doctors fee every time the
most simple remedy is needed.

GOOD JOKE on STUDENT.
Fell Victim to the Old Game Of "cates.

A number of George Washington
University students who are in the
employ of the geological survey during
the summer months, near Browning.
Mont, recently sprung the old game OF
catching the snipe" on one of their
number, junior student of the uni
versity.
For those who have never heard Of
the game it will be explained as It
was played upon the victim. A large
sack and two candles we're secured.
after which, to divert suspicion, foot
race was arranged, and of course, the
junior had to lose, and thus he was
t0 hold the bag. The entire party
started out after dark and took such
an irregular course that the intended
victim did not know in what direction
he had Travelled from the camp. After
going about three miles it was decided
that they could catch ''snipe." The
Junior was told to lay down on his
stomach and hold the bag wide open,
the two candles being lighted on eth.

but instead went directly to their
camp and to bed.
When they started to depart the
victim called to them, "I'll wait here
until you come back" He waited! At
one a. m. he began to get suspicious.
but then he was afraid the boys might
think him gutter If they came back
and found him gone. At two o'clock,
however, his convictions we're confirm
ed, and he left for home, but found
to his dismay that he was lost. After
great deal of tramping about on
the prairie he came to railroad de.
pot, which was four miles from the
camp. He followed the tracks and ar
rived shortly before four o'clock and
found all of the jokers in their hunks.
The boys have branded him "snipe."
