! ASKED To SUPPLY
STORY OF SACAJAWEA

The Journal OF American History Is
probably the highest class publication
OF Its kind in the United States, says
the editor Of the Cheyenne Tribune in
his issue of Monday. 1t should be on
every library table and The copies
should be bound at the end Of each
year and preserved. The contributors
are men and women of high rank along
historical lines. 1t was therefore a
compliment to Miss Grace Raymond
Hebard, to the University Of Wyoming
and to Wyoming that she should be
asked t o supply the story Of sacajawea.
the Shoshone maiden who contributed
SO much to the pilgrimage of Lewis
and Clark across the Rockies to the
Pacific coast. Miss Hebard tells this
story in the current number Of the
Journal of American History in a most
charming manner and the periodical
has paid her the compliment Of beauti.
fully illustrating the same.

The following from the Cody Stock
grower and Farmer is alike amusing
and exasperating as showing the wild
ly foolish stories which the enemies Of
the preparatory department of the
University of Wyoming are circulating
in their determination to cripple the
work of the institution and belittle its
achievements:
"A college man of Cody recently said
to the writer, When / was at Laramie,

the campus and around town wearing

university, and figures as the mascot
Of the institution in the nattiest of

TOTAL RECEIPTS FOR
The FOREST RESERVES

The total receipts from the national
forest reserves during the last fiscal

OF this sum 10 per cent went to the
states, each state being entitled under
the law to 10 per cent of the receipts
OF all national forests within its
borders the counties in which the re-
serves are located getting a proportion
ate share of the amount. This 10
per cent yielded to the states was
$152,991.7S. 1t goes into the road and
school funds.

ceipts was $166, sO2. 80, its share in the
10 per cent division being $16,690.23.

The fact that Ed" Burke, the Wyo'

STANDARD OIL COMPANY RE
sPoNsIsLE FOR COURSE OF
COST OF PETROLEUM.
Significant Revelations Made in Report
Submitted to President Roosevelt
by Commissioner Of Corporations
Millions Of Dividends Paid by
Standard Oil Company.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Signiicant
revelations are made public in a report
submitted to President Roosevelt by
Herbert Knox Smith, commissions of
corporations. concerning the opera
lions of the Standard Oil company.
In a previous report the NEAR and
methods of the Standard were explain
ed. The present report sets forth the
results of these methods and the eff
feet they have had on the consumer
of oil and on the profits of the Stand
ard Oil company. Commissioner Smith
says:
Raised Price Of Oil.
The Standard Oil company is re-
sponsible for the course of prices Of
petroleum and its products during the
last twenty-five years. The Standard
has consistently used its power to
raise the price of oil during the last
ten years, not only absolutely, but also
relatively, to the cost of crude Oil"
iue oldhudIu udS Cidilieu thdl IL
has reduced the price of oil; that it
has been a benefit to the consumer,
and hat only a great combination like
the Standard could have furnished oil
at the prices that have prevailed.
Each Claim Disproved.
Each one of these claims" says
Commissioner Smith. els disproved by
this report"
The increase in annual profits of the
Standard Oil company from 1896 to
1904 was over 1927, OOO, 900. The report
says:
Millions in Dividends.
THE total dividends paid by the
Standard from 1882 to 1906 were $751;
922,124, averaging thus 24.15 per cent
per year. The dividends, however,
were much less than the total earn
ings. 1t is substantially certain that
the entire net earnings of the Standard
from 1882 to 1906 were at least $780,
600, 900. and possibly much more.
These enormous profits have been
based on an, investment worth at the
time of its original acquisition not
more than SIS, 1000, 900.
