DANDELlON BOUNTY

IL the dandelion is a pest
and there appears to be an al
| most concerted opinion tending
toward that belief-then moth
ing but concerted action on the
part of a com munity viii exter-
inmate the pest. It is not pro
bable that even those who see
beauty in the dandelion, those
who remember Henry Ward
Beecher's remark, "You cannot
forget If you would these golden
kisses all over the cheeks of the
meadows, called dandelions, !"
would protest against a law or
ordinance which should look to-
ward the determination of this
pest. The majority even Of dan.
delion lovers have enough per-
sisting common sense to see
that lawn that lasts from April
TO November cannot be the vic
tim of q Ranae ravishment by
gold en- dandelions which lasts
but o few weeks at the longest.
We have decreed In the matter
Of taste that a smooth. shaven
lawn of fine green grasses is the
pr oper setting for q residence,
and I'm order TO be orthodox in
the mat ter of lawns, the dande-
lions will have TO surrender their
love, since the real part Of the
plant, the dent-du lion, the jig
sawed leaf that il the meat OF
the meaning Of the dandelion, is
not beautiful when spearing
forth among discouraged blue
grass.
But, without co operation.
there is small use in routing out
these pests. Even with neigh

that is likely to be enforced SO far as
can he ascertained is a quiet but firm
policy of compelling the great cor
porations to obey the law equally
with the humblest citizens. OF
course, there is more or less public
hysteria connected with these move
ments, but this in time will disappear
and the results of past agitation will
unquestionably leave us with perma-
nent,y higher standards of corporate
management and responsibility.
The outlook for the stock market
is hardly promising. We can only
continue our advice to our customers
to be cautious In getting into debt.
Stocks even at these prices cannot
be regarded as cheap SO long as mon
ey commands its present rates, with
the prospects of going still higher.
There is no real cure for the pres
ent congestion in the security mar
kets. except liquidation, which is a
painful but necessary remedy. A
considerable short interest has been
developed, the covering Of which may
at any time cause sharp rallies. No
permanent rise in the market, how
ever. can be expected until money
rates return to the normal. This can
not be accomplished until securities
have touched lower level. The
prospects. therefore. are for an irreg-
ular market; occasional rallies being
followed by still further dips down
ward. Much caution will be neces-
sary In stock market operations for
the next few months.

are indications that liquidation is still
incomplete.
Outside of Wall street conditions
are generally satisfactory. 1t now
looks as IL we should have a good
corn crop. probably the third in size
In our history. IL weather conditions
continue favorable. This important
crop has made very rapid recovery the
past two months and now gives fair
promise of an abundant yield, pro-
vided 1t escapes early frost. The con-
dition of spring wheat is poor, but the
winter wheat harvest has turned out
better than expected, and some re-
liable crop authorities are looking for
a yield possibly as high as $50, 600

The only sign of recession in any
direction is that referred to above, the
stoppage of new business enterprises
imposed by the limitations of the

of the country are becoming exceed
ingly conservative and are effectively
applying the brakes on questionable
operations. In no part Of the coun'-
try can any pessimism be discovered
corresponding TO that which exists on
Manhattan Island south of Fulton

this they can hardly be blamed, since
not a few state attacks are indiscrim-

BELL PREDICTS A FUEL FAMINE.
State Mine Inspector OF Idaho Is
Alarmed

State Mine Inspector Bell is in WAL
lace on his regular inspection tour OF
the mining districts in this section
and he expects to remain in the dis
trict some time. He will visit the
Wardner mines first. In an inter-
view here with a Times reporter, Mr..
Bell said:
''The most menacing outlook for
the mining industry of the state and
in fact of every other industry is THE
prospect of a coal famine this fall
and winter that will make the fam
inc of last winter seem like feast
by comparison. Nearly all the
towns in southern and southwestern
Idaho are suffering right now for
their actuar summer requirements,
and stealing coal from passing trains
is already in vogue, and much suffer-
ing is likely to ensue when the win
ter weather arrives.
''The business of the state has SIM
ply grown beyond the fuel supply
available. Our coal is nearly all
supplied from the mines of western
Wyoming, which also have to supply
large portion of the requirements
of Utah, Nevada, Oregon, Washing
ton and Montana as well. The mines
are being worked to their capacity,
but the demand of the great inter-
mountain territory dependent upon
them has grown far beyond their de-
velopment. The Short Line and the
Union Pacific officials who are now
handling between five and six mil
lion tons of coal traffic year recog-
nize this fact, and are offering every
encouragement to the development
of new coal resources by independ-
ent capital"

New York, Aug. 14.-Following the
resumption of work on the building
Of its Athol Hill cutoff, south of Chey-
enne, the Union Pacific railroad has
announced the details Of this import
ant improvement, which will result
in considerable saving of time on Pa
cific coast through freight to Denver
and eastern points. Construction OF
this line will also relieve the conges-
ton of the Cheyenne yards.
Starting on the main line of the
Union Pacific between Denver and
Cheyenne, near Carr, Col, the new
cutoff runs northeast to Borie, Wyo.,
connecting with the main line through
wyoming nine and a half miles west
of Cheyenne. A branch leaves the
main stem between Carr and Borie
three miles south of Corlett, connect
ing with the Wyoming division four
and a half miles west of Cheyenne.
The total length of the new lines
under construction is II miles, and
the saving in distance between Dem
yer and Borie and points west by
way of the main stem of the cutoff
is over 13 miles.
The maximum grade on the pres
ent line between Carr and Cheyenne
is 1.S per cent in both directions.
This grade by the new line is cut
down to 1.2 per cent north or west
bound, with no adverse grades south
or east. The troublesome curves of
the present line are also avoided. 1t
is expected to have the cutoff COM
pleted and in operation before the end
of the year.
Two hundred and twenty thousand
cubic yards of roadbed excavation
about 10000 yards of which is solid
rock, and 100000 cubic yards of en-
bankment, are involved in the build
ing of the cutoff. The largest fill is
200 feet long and As feet high.
Bridging on the new line consists Of
concrete arches, cast iron pipe cul-
verts and three.pile trestles Of s. s
and 10 spans. The longest arch is
1876 feet. Three new stations will be
located along the line to serve local
traffic of which there is very little
outside of cattle shipments.

The Cheyenne Daily Tribune has
to say about certain affairs in that
state:
A profound sensation will undoubt-
edlv be created when the federal
grand jury convenes in this city this
fall and ranchmen and stockmen all
over Wyoming are awaiting with deep
anxiety the meeting of the jury and
the report which the jury will make
when 1t concludes its session, prob
ably the most important ever held in
Wyoming.
II. II. Swartz, chief of the field di-
vision of the general land office, dur
ing his recent visit to Cheyenne, an
nounced that IL criminal cases for IL
legal land fencing and land frauds
were already prepared for presenta-
ton to the grand jury, while the ut
most secrecy was maintained in re-
gard to the possible defendants IN
these cases.
1t Is now announced that the num-
ber of cases which will be submitted
to the grand jury has been increased
to IS and that fully 20 more cases
oit hhNNSNibohiOhs IL 10
gently expected that not less than so
criminal cases for land frauds and IL
legal fences will be submitted to the
grand jury for their action and this
number of indictments on criminal
charges probably returned.
1t is impossible to ascertain the
persons who may be made defendants
in these cases and this secrecy only
adds to the feeling of anxiety among
ranchmen and stockmen.
All over the state illegal fences are
being torn down. In the past the fed
eral authorities here have favored
civil suits in illegal fencing cases, but
recently this policy underwent sud-
den change and land owners do not
know where lightning will strike when
the grand jury meets. Certain II is
that many Of the prominent stockmen
and ranchmen Of Wyoming will be
indicted and as result hundreds Of
miles Of fences In the state are being
destroyed and every ranchman, here
tofore negligent In obeying the order
to remove his fences enclosing the
public domain, is strenuously engag-
ed in restoring to the public domain
the land which he has under fence.
