Times Have Changed
Congressman Mondell is working
harder for the people whom he repre-
sents than any other member of con
gress.
His late remarks upon the subject OF
forest reserves, which appear in this
issue of the News, represent as truly
as could be spoken the opinions of the
people Of Wyoming.
Time was when some Wyoming
stockmen thought they favored forest
reserves; were willing to sign petit
tons to have them established. But
these stockmen now see the detriment
that the reserve policy has been and
if petitions could wipe out the whole
system they would gladly be among
the first to sign such petitions.
Mondell has been at his best all
through the discussion of the land
laws, government control of the ranges
and the policy of the forest reserve
bureau.-Big Horn County News.

The Milling of a Coin.

Nearly everybody thinks that the
milling of a coin is its corrugated rim,
but that term has nothing to do with
the corrugations. The coiner at the
mint takes up a blank, a round piece
of plain silver, cut out of a silver bar,
and drops it into a machine. 1t comes
out with the edges slightly rounded.
Then he drops it into the milling ma
chine, and 1T comes out with the rim
fiat and raised a little above the sides.
The milling is this plain raised rim,
without reference to any corrugations,
and it is intended to protect the sur
face of the coin from wear. The cor
rugations around the rim are called the
~"reeding."

For three hours H. ]. Wells, a farmer
living near Malung, southeast of st.
Paul, was held up IN a slim sapling a
few yards away from his house by a
big black bear.
Wells had gone through a small

had strayed, and as he went along the
trail was confronted by a bear which
rose upon his launches as If to attack
him. Wells, being unarmed, threw
his hat at the bear, and while the ami.
NAL worried II, the farmed climbed a
tree.
The bear found the tree too small
for 1t to climb, and after spending
three hours gnawing at the roots was
finally driven away by a small dog.

reason that it has no particular time

Submerged in a bowl of water for a
few minutes and then taken out and
placed by its stem in an empty bottle,
the outer petals begin in several min
utes to open out. This process is slow
but distinctly noticeable. The petals
continue to rise and to expand until
they gradually recede. When this &C.
ton is completed it resembles in ap-
p%earance the sunflower.

DANKS AND
STEAMBOAT
FAMOUS OUTLAW HORSE OF LAR.
ANNIE PLAIN AND SOME OF
THE THINGS HE CAN DO.
The Worst Horse in the World, Ac-
cordins to This Noted Rider, Who
Has Had Experience-San Fran
cisco Paper Adds Something to
Literature of Plains Rough Riding.

Clayton Danks, one Oh the pest cow
boys that ever threw a leg over a sad
| die in Wyoming, had just finished a
ride on the great outlaw horse Steam
boat, the worst horse in the world"
The big black horse had fought with
every trick at his command and had
pitched, sunfished, side-stepped and
changed ends, winding up his perform
ance with a series of hard, crushing
descents that had unseated many a
champion, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. The cowboy was painting
heavily as he leaned against the cor.
raj gate.
Soil Helped Rider.
IF it hadn't been for the sandy soil
out there he'd got me-" admitted the
COW puncher. I've been on all the
bad horses in the west, l guess, but
old Steamboat sure had a right to his
title. He is the worst outlaw that ever
happened, and that black hide of hisll
be full of ~cussedness until he dies"
What makes Steamboat harder to
ride than any other horse?" was asked.
eucking For Eight Years.
TITS the way he m down on the
ground. There are other outlaws that
do more fancy steps when they're buck
ing, but they don't jar a man like old
Steamboat. You see, Steamboat is a
big, heavy horse. He is about u years
old and he has been bucking just the
same for eight years, or ever since they
first put a saddle on him.
He fought just the same way when
he was brought in off the range and
they tried to break him. He gives sort
of peculiar side-twisting jumps, and
when he hits the ground you think
you've fell off one of those twenty-story
tepees down in New York. He looks
easier to ride than lots of other horses,
but he amt. He's the worst horse In
the world, all right, when it comes to
making a fight.
Can't Scratch Steamboat.
"There's no cowboy wants to try to
scratch Steamboat" went on banks.
as he peered through at the big horse.
which was walking calmly about with
in the corral looking like anything but
an equine desperate. you know, it's
customary for bronco busters to scratch
the shoulders Of a horse with their
spurs Just to get the buck out of him
quicker. Well, lots of cowboys may
be able to stay on Steamboat just the
way | have done, by not stirrin' him
up very much. But you get him on
hard ground where he can get out the
full effect of his jumps and then try to
scratch him and the best rider in the
worldll go over on his head. Otto
Playa, one of the finest riders in Wy
oming, made a bet he could scratch
Steamboat.
Otto's Bones S~queaked.
"Well he rode him fine for a few
jumps and might have stayed on right
through, but the first time he gave a
little rake with his spur old Steamboat
woke up. The boss had been kind O
loafin' along like he was sayin' to him
self: Well, Otto's a nice boy and l
don't want to hurt him. But when he
felt that spur rake down his shoulder
he give a jump that made Otto's bones
squeak. Then he give another a little
worse and Otto fell off so Jared that
for fear his teeth'd fall out"

\ new plan for connecting the Mis-
 sissippi with the South Atlantic is now
 attracting attention. Lewis M. Haupt,
 ! well-knoWn engineer, would con-
 stFuct a ship canal reaching from Cairo, H., to Brunswick, Ga He as-
 serts that this route is only 1908 miles long and that it would be the shortest and most practicable connec- ton Obtainable between the Missis- sippi Valley and the Atlantic Coast. Mr. Haupt would utilize a number of the rivers of the South, and thinks tha+ the entire canal could be constructed for $40,000 GOO. He is confident that it would pay for itself within thirty years. There is not the slightest ques- ton of the value of a waterway con nection between the Middle West and the South. Both sections would bene- lit by it to a great degree. 1t would have direct and immediate effect on railroad rates-aomething that the Ma tional Rivers and Harbors Congress long pointed out. This organization, however, is not advocating any special scheme, but is devoting it's efforts to furthering the general cause of nation al waterway betterments. It believes that the federal government should ex- pend $50,000,000 a Year in improving the rivers and harbors of the coun- try, and while it's efforts have been crowned with considerable success, as is evidenced by the big appropriation bill passed at the last session and the by President Roosevelt of the Inland Waterways Commission, it is endeavoring to keep alive the senti- ment already created. It's secretary, Captain J. F. Ellison of Cincinnati, O., is striving to bring this about by in creasing the m m7mbership, which al ready is large and to be found in every state in the Union.
