Nov, since the Sibylee country has
the reputation Of being N of the best
corn and pumpkin districts in Wyo
ming, and has won a bronze medal on
forage plants at the st. Louis worlds
fair, and a bronge medal on forage
plants and spring rye at the Portland

This may cost each ranchman one
hundred dollars to get it started, but
that is nothing for a Wyoming man tic

a line, and need it bad. Come on,
boys; I'll do the bossin' and the

A DEATH BLOW.
Government Ownership Of Mines and
Railroads Would XIII Unions.

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 20.-The American
Federation Of Labor, by a vote of 154
to so, has refused to record itself as
favoring government ownership of rail,
roads and mines. The question came
up on a resolution to include railroads
and mines in the action taken at Mime,
apolis last year, favoring mathematics
ton" of telegraph and telephone prop
critics.
The opponents took the ground that
government ownership Of mines and
railroads would prevent all strikes. no
matter how ~peaceably they might be
conducted, and that with a federal gov
eminent opposed to labor it might
prove a deathblow.
Another important action by the con
vention was the increasing Of the sal
airy Of President Gompers from $4,000
to $4,000 per annum; that Of Secretary
Morrison from $500 to $4,000, and OF
Treasurer Lennon from $500 to $500
