CARELESS OF other conditions and the
sales Of the past month have been
very lively. Taylor and Bergman re-
port that the inquiries for property
continue good and that many home
seekers are daily arriving in the city.
Most of them are looking for small
tracts not far from town.
The sales of the past few days as
reported by the firm are the follow

The track yesterday was in the fin
est condition possible and many OF the
horsemen say it was the fastest track
they ever saw. Dan Patch is all right
In his workouts. as are the other fast
expect that this week will be rather a
memorable one for horsemen as well
as for all Phoenix.
The clouds that have threatened a
little for two or three DAYS grow less
and less irritating as the hour for ac-
ton approaches. There is good indi-
cations of a general clearing up TO-DAY
or Monday and the fact that no rain
has fallen save the little sprinkle
three or four nights ago, is most en-
couraging. II has been quite warm
for several days but last night il turn
ed little colder, which Is taken as
good sign that the rain bugaboo is
all vanishing. So far as the horse
men are concerned they are laughing
at the rain fright of the nervous ones
and the track has required sprinkling
every night so far to keep II In good
condition.
Ii is expected that Charles Dean,
who IL to drive Dan Patch's pacemak-
er. will arrive this morning from the
east. Ii was freely predicted last
night that if the weather and the.
track are in the same condition Mon
day that they were last night. Dan
Patch would make necessary the use
Of figures that have never yet been
employed in the publication OF pacing
records. And Dams record isn't the
only one that is likely to be worked
over during the week. The raw ma
terial is on hand for the making Of a
lot of race track history and It is be-
lieved the right people are here to

DETERMINED TO HAVE TT.

II it is possible to get Cans and Mel
son together Tex Richard is deter.
mined that the meeting shall be in
Ely. He has now offered the fighters
a purse of $4,000 which is tempt.
ing bait for these celebrities of the
ring.
There is no doubt that a match be-
tween Cans and Nelson would be the
most interesting event in the pugiis-
tic world that could be arranged at
this time.
Cans. from all accounts, is willing
to meet Nelson. but it apears that
Nelson, for some reason, does not
take kindly to negotiations for anoth-
or and conclusive encounter.
Many reasons are given for this,
but whatever the reason may be, it
seems clear that the great stumbling
block for the promoter is Nelson S
lack of enthusiasm. BY some this is
credited to the influence of his man
ager, Nolan, and by Others to fighter
Nelson's recollections of what occur
red at Goldfleld.
In sporting circles there is great
eagerness to see the two fighters get
together again. If the $4,000 purse
is accepted the match will be the
chief event in pugilistic circles of the
year.

THE STATE AND THE MINER.

There are two states in the onion,
says the Nevada City california; Mi
ner Transcript, that owe their origin
and much of their prosperity and ma
terial wealth to mining-Californi
and Nevada. Yet there are probably
no two states where the miner and
his work receive less recognition, the
magnitude of the industry considered
than in the two states mentioned.
Gold gave to California its name
and Its noble and intrepid men. No
mere weaklings, no timorous Great
ures and insipid dreamers were the
argonauts and pioneers who crossed
the plains and the isthmus to join the
sturdy host in the search for the yell
low metal Men less sturdy and de-
termined would have shrunk from
such perilous adventures. They gave
to California its stamp of manhood
and greatness, and although various
industries have since sprung up to in
sure the state a glorious and prosper
GUS future. the generations yet UNI
born will have to acknowledge their
Indebtedness to the pioneer gold mi
ners.
Nevada Is even more indebted than
is California to the miner. Her prin-
cipal men are miners and her chief
industry is mining. Robbed of her
wonderful mineral deposits and her
mines producing their millions an
nually, Nevada Would have but little
left on which to claim the recognition
of the world. This is not written dis
paragingly, as it is known that min
ing in our sister state is the over
shadowing industry. Her glory, her
fame, her achievements are so closely
interviewer with mining and the mi
ners that you can not discuss the one
without considering the other.
These comments are aroused by
the rejection of measure by the Ne
vada state senate which was intended
to provide home for the old and
pcnniless miner. The most patriotic
motives prompted the measure and
it passed the assembly by an excellent
vote, testifying to the high esteem in
which that body holds the miner. But
when it reached the senate ii met its
doom. Probably that body in its wis

Plenty Of Fishing.

There were SO many fishing
parties Sunday that we were I'M
able to learn of all who went, in
fact it would be easier to tell you
who did not go than to tell you
who did so we will pass it off by
saying we don't know who did go
but whoever went had a good time
and got lots of fish. Say did it
ever occure to you that this is the
greatest fishing resort in the west?
Well that is just what it is and
any time of day you can find sew
eral people fishing and you will
find that they are not fishing for
fun either, they are catching
something all time.

The University Matter

1t would seem to a business man
that the opportunity for graft in the
Wyoming University had been reduc-
ed to a minimum. What, with the
Board of Trustees on one hand, the
State Examiner on another and the
Federal Examiner on still another, it
would be hard to imagine how any
kind of graft could find its way into
the institution. All of this adverse
criticism bears quite heavily on the
two people who have devoted their
lives to the up-buildipg of this insti-
tuition. Hon. Otto Gramm and Miss
Grace Raymond Heoard, the secre-
tary of the Board of Trustees. For
the heroic self sacrifices these two
people have made, year after year,
never wearying, never stacking in the
intensity of their purpose, they are
now met with the cruelest persecution
and ~villitication. But this is Just the
kind OF reward such devotion and self
sacrifice brings forth.

Brother McCandless of the En-
campment Herald, makes the state
ment in his last issue that "there will
only be INT bridge across the Platte
and two across the Encampment at
Baggott Rocks" This was in refer
ence to the S. q E. railway. The
fact is, Brother McC.. it will take five
bridges here at Saratoga and one
across Spring creek and another
across Cow creek before reaching the
Encampment river. One bridge will
span the main channel of the North
Platte river here and another chan
mel will have to be bridged four times
inside of half a mile from this place.

Advice to Correspondents

Always send your name with your
communications. An editor will not
use your name unless you request
but he will not print a communica-
ton unless he knows who wrote it.
Write plainly. Be sure that you
have proper names correctly spelled
as well as plainly written. Separate
your items by at least a line of space.
Drop the "Mr." in an item like this;
Mr.. John Jones came to town Mon,
day. Retain it in an item like this:
Mr.. and Mrs. John Jones are in the
city this week. The name of every
woman should be preceded by Mrs.
or Miss, as the CASE may be.
If you will observe these rules you
will save the editor a lot of trouble in
rewriting and correcting your CORES.

criticism of tn state university. 1t
is mighty easy to start "a scandal and
to build upon it. Many of the state
papers have taken for true what the
Boomerang has SAID and have express
sed regret that such conditions could
exist. Others have followed in the
footsteps of the Boomerang in the mat
ter of enlarging upon MIR. Morton's
trivial charges and have shown a dis
position to injure the institution at
any cost. 1t is too bad that this is
true, but there appears to be no help
for it. The university, we presume,
will have to stand it.
Colleges of all kinds are very sus-
ceptible to public opinion. Just one
bad word is sufficient to cause great
injury. A parent in central Wyom-
ing, for instance, who reads of the
charges of graft, fraud, financial cor
ruption and political chicanery, will
hesitate about sending his children
here. 1t will be much easier for him
to send his children some where else
than to make investigation and clear
the matter up to his satisfaction.
From the charges made he will sim
ply conclude that there must be some
fire and act accordingly.
A university can only be built up
through loya ty, state pride and the
love of students for their alma mater.
1t is a creature of high ideals, pure
motives and lofty sentiment. The
atmosphere that pervades the institu
ton should be the atmosphere of
truth, virtue, personal honor and the
ambition to perform good work. Sen
timent and ambition are quickly
chilled by caustic, unjust criticism
and untruthful vituperation. 1t will
take years to overcome the damage
done by the senseless stuff now going
into the homes of the people of the
state. The truth does not hurt. Hon
est criticism only serves to purify and
build up. 1t is the alleged friend
who ensembles and stabs in the dark
who does the great injury.
Right now, the enemies of the uni
versity are saying that no matter
what kind of an investigation is made,
a whitewash will certainly follow,
thus virtually admitting that they
have no case and hat it is necessary
to let themselves down easy.-Lara-
