great deal of interest being taken
in this marriage, owing to the fact
that the contracting parties have

every one, not only in Saratoga
but in the entire valley. Kind
wishes and good will are being
showered upon them in advance

OF wealth or happiness, that he

Nearly all of the ranchmen in this

grain. Andrew Olson has put in
over one hundred acres of grain, and
Edward Meredith has in nearly as
much.
There is a notice put up at Elk
Mountain by the state veterinary that
all of the ranchmen in this vicinity
are compelled to dip their cattle on
account of the scab or mango to Grad
icate the disease. But the ranchmen
in this vicinity are going protest
against it because they think it a
crime to have to dip cattle that are
not affected with the disease.

ing at Wheatland, Wy.
aOiiinf.
The White House,

lne nlte House,
Washington, May 10, 1907.
To the Stockmen of Wyoming, in
Convention at Wheatland:
TITS with great pleasure that 1
send you my greetings. l am
deeply interested in all the prob
lens which confront you and am
anxious to have your assistance
in solving them in a way hat will
protect the interests of the stock
men and bring the greatest pros
perity to the people in general.
Public sentiment in favor of the
conservative use of all the natural
resources of the country is rapidly
growing stronger and in my opin-
ion the time has come when detn.
tie action must be taken toward a
proper control in the use of the
public grazing lands.
l regret very much the hardship
that necessarily follows the re-
moval of all fences which have
been constructed in violation of
the law, because I am fully aware
that the best use of much of the
public grazing lands a only be
secured by fencing it. But the
law gives me no alternative, and l
will continue to enforce it until
such time as action is taken by
Congress which will provide a
means of properly regulating
grazing on the public range.
1 am particularly anxious that
every legitimate means shall be
taken to encourage the establish
ment of homes upon the public
domain. In all legislation affect
ing the use of the public lands the
interests of the homestead settler
must be carefully guarded in
every case the home-maker must
be given first consideration.
With this proviso, l will appre-
ciate very much your advice as to
the best practicable methods of
regulating the use of the public
lands for the greatest benefit of all
concerned, and we all want a
grazing system which may be put
into operation with the least in
convenience to the stockmen who
are now occupying the range.

good natured and happy these

reason they should be told, like

ness is better than it has been for
years, more strangers are seen
daily on our streets and that the
town and district / n general has
all the symptoms of a big boom
this summer, which goes to show
that these things the Herald has
