Goes to Exhibit Patent

G. d. Buchanan left here Mon
day for Jamestown, Va, where he
will exhibit his patent brake dur
ing the rest of the great exposi-
ton being held there. Experts
in the employ of the government
have pronounced the invention as
one of more than ordinary excel
lence end embodying a principle
new in mechanics and it is quite
probable that the government may
become the owner of the invention.

Suggests Meeting to Settle
School Land Question

Washington, Aug. 19:-Hon. s.
w. Clark, attorney general of
South Dakota, has just left Wash
ington where he has been for sew
eral days comforting with officials
of the Forest Service about ques-
tons affecting the disposition of
school and other state lands in
National Forests.
Attorney General Clark says
that the plans recently suggested
by Forester Pinchot for the settle
ment of this state land question
will be welcomed in his state and
he suggests an early meeting of
the land and legal officers of the
western states with officials of the
National Government to work out
in detail the necessary legislation
to be submitted to Congress next
session.
Forester Pinchot recently sug-
gested two plans for the perma-
nent settlement of the troublesome
question of state lands within the
National Forests. The first was
to give to each state a solid block
of National Forest land in ex-
change for all it's lands surveyed
and u%nserveyed in the Forests, to
be managed as a state forest for
ever. The other plan provides
that the state give up jurisdiction
over it's land within the National
Forests and receive in return from
the Government a share of income
proportionate to the area of their
land in relation to the National
Forests. The state in this way
would derive a permanent revenue
to be used for school purposes.
If, meeting of state and govern
ment legal officers find that a
meeting to thresh out legislation
can be held, it is desirable that it
will be held at some central point
within the western states. At
torney General Clark says that
South Dakota would be very glad
to offer its hospitality for SUCH a
meeting, although he realizes that
a more central point might be de-
sired by the other states.

Traction Engine at Work

On Monday evening the trac-
ton engine came down from the
mountains with four wagons load
ed with ties, 225 in number.
While the road is very soft as yet
not having been used sufficiently
to harden it up, the engine
brought its load in with ease and
demonstrates that it can do the
work for which it is designed.

Mr.. and Mrs. G. W. Baldridge and
children and Miss Eagan and Tommie
left for their old home in Bell Plains,
Iowa, Thursday.
The Large County bridge at this
place is receiving a coat of black
paint, Of which it was very much in
need. 1t also needs, and will o
receive, a new floor. The flooring,
being of PIN, lasts, under present
heavy traffic, but a few months, when
it has to be renewed. The present
flooring is worn thru in many places,
but there is no native lumber in the
yards here, SO it will have to wait un.
til some is gotten in from the mills.
The Pacific Express Company re-
quires that no express be transferred
to the Saratoga & Encampment Rail
way only on a written order. This
rule has resulted in great inconven-
fence to the people OF this town, as
Encampment. and throughout the
valley. There has practically been
no express brought up for the past
ten days, except perishsble stuff that
the company allowed to pass thru.
This delay is not the fault Of the
agent at Walcott, as many think, but
it is a positive order from the expres
company which the agent is COM
PEELED to obey. There is now being
circulated q general order concerning
the delivery of express matter to the
s. & E. road and everybody should
make haste to get their names on it if
they want to get any express thru in
reasonable time.

Keep an Eye on That Hot Springs Company.

TO be remembered for many a
There will be races and contests
music and speaking galore; brass
bands and orchestras, plays and
side shows, reduced railroad fares
and harvest closing time. All
will aid to make the Saratoga
railroad days a grand success.
A NEW ERA
When we say that Saratoga has
a new era before it, we not only
desire to lay emphasis upon the
construction of the railroad, not
alone refer to the established fact
that the Medicine Bow and Sierra
Madre Mountains looking down
upon this favored burg have
fabulous riches in minerals of
various kinds, not lay stress upon
the possibilities of the broad acres
which irrigation will force into
prominence, but we desire to es
pecially mention that a powerful
company, headed by q. E. Want
land, for many years leading sale
men of the Union Pacific land de.
partment, and John L. Burns, a
hustler in financial circles, who
are president and SECRETARY re-
spectively of the Saratoga Springs
Company, have lately acquired
title or claim to immense tracts of
land in and about Saratoga and
have purchased outright the hot
springs property, with its various
interest and possibilities.
This concern will open the eyes
of Wyoming people and will show
them what can be done with push
and a sure goer in the investment
line. In a circular just off the
press the Saratoga Springs Com
pany says many good things and
true, but we take from it only one
paragraph, which tells enough OF
the future:
ga point to be considered in
the outlook for Saratoga is the
early development of the resort of
the east side of the town. A com
pany is now at work upon pre-
liminaries and will soon have a
splendid plan worked out for the
building of a great resort. Sara
toga is the only resort tributary
to the Union Pacific railroad and,
not only as a permanent health
resort, but as a tourist stop off, is
bound to attract attention. The
completion of the Saratoga &
Encampment railroad connecting
with the Union Pacific at Walcott
insure this. The tiresome stage
trip is done away with and a one
hour side trip carries travellers in,
to this delightful resting place.
The building of a great hotel upon
the bluff above the town, the use
of the several boiling springs in
bath, swimming pools, and fol-
bottling purposes, the establish
ment of recreation grounds upon
the Hot Springs property, and
landscape gardening to transform
the place into a fairyland of beauty
will make Saratoga one of the
largest mountain cities in the
middle west"

OTHERS E US
What Some Of the Other Wyom.
ing People Think Of US and
Our New Railroad

Editor OFT of the Wyoming In.
journal looked us over
lust before Railroad Day and these
|are his remarks.
Under ordinary circumstances
|tbe arrival of a railroad may not
make so much difference to a town,
but when community has 30 many
Resources and attractions which
become almost valueless without
modern highway, and when
the people of a town pray for a
Euarter of a century for this boon,
BIT may be excusable if these people
hre filled with ecstasy when finally
The iron horse arrives.
Saratoga, the Mecca of the af-
ficted in rheumatic diseases, the
gateway to a fabulous mining
country, the future center of
thousands of husbandmen, will
celebrate on the 2Sth and 29th of
|this month the arrival of the
Saratoga & Encampment rail-
broad, which will by that time run
regular trains into the town, con-
meeting with the Union Pacific,
the great Overland Route, at Wal
|cott, Wyoming
A few days ago writer rode to
and from Saratoga in a box car,
|the only mode of passenger trans
%|portation there, and saw with his
own eyes the glad faces of a salts
people heard with his own ears
|the song of the future as mapped
|out by a people of boosters, and
ION the 18th and 29th they will tell
ito the thousands who will flock to
|the upper Platte valley, the pres
|ent terminus of the Saratoga &
Encampment railroad, what may
Poe expected IN the way of benefits
|by settlers.
Grand preparations have been
and are being made for the enter
tainment of the visitors to Sara
toga on the days named. The is
land in the Platte is being utilized
hs the center of attractions, where
at noon on the 2Sth the greatest
trout dinner will be served that
has ever been placed before a
people. The Platte has so many
of this finest food fish here that
boys go out an hour along the
Stream and catch in that time all
the fish the law allows. A ton of
trout will be caught the night be-
fore the feast, and if that is not
enough more will be hooked
while the crowd is eating. Every
body must have trout and the frills
that belong to a trst-class trout
thinner.
A speakers tribune, a dancing
platform, an immense ice box to
store the fish and eatables, and
other structures were being built
while writer was there. The
contest island, with its large trees
fnd splendid foliage, is being pre-
pared as a reception hall, anda novel
fdea it is. 1t will be fun to see the
thousands on this island, washed
from all sides by the clear and
majestic Platte River, which here
has a fall of six feet within half a
|nlle, with the steaming hoi
Springs in sight and the hustling
|town close at hand.
1t was an inspiring scene to the
writer when he arrived ON al
evening train to see the electric
Fight illuminate the fine foliage Of
'he town, the rushing waters Of
|the Platte, the big steel bridge
0pver that stream, the pale echo OF
'he departed sun on yondel
mountains and the many business
places inviting their guests. Il
was a beautiful picture, the like
of which no canvass will ever b,
able to hold.

SAYS the Dallas News: THE legis-
1ature appeared to be unable to get
over the bad habit of trying to cure
evils by taxation Instead of pre-
venting the sale of weapons intend
ed for the killing of man, such as
pistols, or Furnishing by confinement
in the penitentiary the people who
carry deadly weapons, 1t tried TO
cure the evil by levying high tax
against the sale of the weapons. The
criminal who insists on carrying
deadly weapon TO Stay his fellow
man is not apt TO restrain his bloody
inclinations because he has to pay
little higher price for his weapon,
and. besides, he can buy his weapon
abroad" And after getting through
with the criminal who carries con-
cealed weapons the lawmakers
might have put in some time fran
ing a law for the regulation of the
people who sell the weapons. FACT
of the business is that the sin OF
| omission is about the greatest of the
| many great faults to be found with
the legislature just adjourned.

A New York woman has sued one
man for breach of promise while she
is vet the wife Of another man. This
goes to illustrate that while the di-
vorce courts are as accommodating
as it is really possible for anything
to be, at the same time delays are
sometimes unavoidable, and III
would appear from this distance that
while no man should be upheld in
an endeavor to throw over any wom-
an he may be stealing, the woman,
on the other hand, would save her
self unpleasant complications by
naming the date contingent upon
the date of the action of the divorce
court. II will be noted that all OF

FIVE NILLIONERS ARE BUSY.
The Club viii Hold Meeting in
Fort WORT, June II and Is.

The second regular meeting of the
officers, directors and board OF gov
ernors of the Texas Five Million
club will be held in Fort Worth on
Friday and Saturday, June ii and
Is. This is the decision just reached
by President John II. Kirby and
General Manager Rockwell, and the
stenographic force is now at work
on the invitations.
Unlike the San Antonio meeting,
which was in reality but a prelmin-
airy to the active campaign inaugur-
ated by the club, the second meet
ing will have not only a full attend
ance of the officers, directors and
governors, but several other dele
gates from each community as well,
representing practically every inter
est in the state.
Fort Worth has on many occas-
sions displayed her hospitality, and
the Five Million club has been as
sured of hearty welcome there at
any time the members care 10 as
semble. The membership list in that
city is one of the strongest in the
state, and it is only natural that the
citizens of the north Texas city
should feel disposed to make the
stay of the Five Millioners as pleas.
ant as possible.
By the time the meeting rolls
around the affairs of the club vii
have reached a stage where the full
! possibility of its aims and purposes
will be plainly apparent, and the
meeting should serve To place the
organization on a basis where there
will be no further need to worr,
| about funds for its maintenance.

the club ranks fairly abound witt

and the questions of the hour vii
