The Republican Candidates.

The Sun wishes to say a few
words for the candidates on the
republican city ticket, on this eve
of election. There is always more
or less feeling each year during
the city campaign for which there
is no real foundation. This is the
time when absurd stories and even
malicious and libeluous state
ments circulate at current value,
only to seek darkness aud oblivion
when the result is over. Every
one should endeavor to look at
matters now is they will the next
day after the election, and you
know very we'll that half the
things that are now being said
will never occur to you again
when the battle is over.
Charles G. Hickok, who heads
the ticket for mayor, has lived in
Saratoga the best part of his life.
He is a man of good reputation,
sober, honest, conscientious and
upright and possessed of a keen
intellect. For years he has stood
at the head of the grocery depart
ment of the large firm of Cosgriff
Bros. Co., at this place and every
one who knows "Hicky" knows
the affairs of the city will never
be in better hands then when he
is it's mayor, as he will be.
s. E. McAnulty has been a
member of the town council for
several years, and is now serving
his second term at this time. LIZ
there is any more honest, con-
scientious or capable man for the

Counting Uncle Sans Money

In discussing the efforts of
Chief Wilkie of the secret service,
Joe Mitchell Chapple, in his "Af-
fairs at Washington" in the Ma
tional Magazine for May, speaks
of what he says "typifies a more
effective precautionary system
than could be afforded by many
hundreds of six-shooters." The
article continues as follows:
All the money in the treasury is
counted every time a change is
made in it's higher officials. The
last time this occurred was when
Treasurer Charles Ell. Treat took
Office several years ago. 1t was
then that a remarkable theft was
discovered, which had been &C
complished by a day laborer, who
handled the bags of gold and
found means to substitute pieces
of lead in place of the precious
metal, as he passed it out to be
weighed. He thought. out his
plan so we'll that the weight of
the bogus gold was exactly the
same as that of the specie removed
from the bags, SO that when these
left his hands for the scales the
theft was not detected. Since
that time, every bag has been
opened, and every piece OF money
counted, dollar for dollar. This.
however, is not so heavy a task as
might be supposed, for, strange as
it may seem, a very small proper
ton of the gold and silver curren-
cy is actually located in the hands
of Uncle Sam in Washington, but
is distributed through the country
in the eserye centers.

Annual School Meeting

The annual school meeting was
held in the school building Mon
day afternoon. The report of
treasurer, j. F. Crawford, showed
that there had been $2,3O7 80 re-
ceived from all sources, poll, gen.
eral fund, special and state land
income sources. OF this there
had been expended $526.02 for
coal, books, repairs and janitor
work. In teachers salaries the
amount paid was 81, 764. 4,..leaving
a balance in the treasury of only
SIS SO. There were outstanding
warrants, for which there were no
funds in the treasury at this time
to pay, to the amount of $59S.73.
To this Indebtedness would have
to be added the salaries and ex-
penses of the school for the month
of May, approximating $3.50,
which would place the district in
debt close to $1,000. On this sum
interest at the rate of s per cent
will have to be paid until taxes
are collected next January or Feb
ruary.
One reason for this shortage
was the cutting down of the spe-
ciaI tax voted in May, 1906, from
$500 to $1,000. This was a
move for economy in the wrong
direction. There was also a short
age in the amount of money CON-
ing to this district from the state
land income. In 1906, owing to
the fact that Public Land Com
missioner r. P. Fuller had col
lected some $13, 200 90 delinquent
rent money and had sold $1O,.
000.0O worth of timber land, max
ing $23 1000 90 which swelled the
amount from this source to large
proportions and as Saratoga then
had 1879 pupils, as against 155 up
on which the last apportionment
was made, the difference was al
most half, the district receiving
but $595.69 in 1907 as against
$9l6.95, in 1906.
The district voted a special tax
of $4,000 for the coming year,
which they felt was all they could
stand, though more vas needed.

J winds its digniied course through
the town. Saratoga has witnessed
in her time a number of booms
which did not add to her progress,
owing to inflated valuations, the
influence of which still remains in
many instances to the detriment
OF prosperity. But the new rail
road is expected to "make good"
all heretofore Ineffective promises.
Saratoga has many modern of.
flee buildings and residences, a
masonic block, a newspaper which
is one of the most newsy and typo
graphically clever publication in
the state and a great many other
things of which the inhabitants
are proud. 1t is certain to be one
of the principal cities of the west
before many years go by.
During my stay in Saratoga
the weather was fine. l gathered
that these conditions we're normal,
too. although there were records
to show that it had showed on the
Fourth of July and rained at
Christmas time. Up in the noun
tains there is a gentle frost prac-
tically every night in the year,
but, strange to say. it acts upon
growing things like summer rain.
All in all, it is good to live in Wy
if you r not a pampered
pet of civilizations artificialities.
Manly men and womanly women
can profitably consider Wyoming
as an excellent place for home
building and home making"
