New Club Organization.

strong w. ]. Bryan Democratic Club has been
organized in this City and announces its platform
as follows
We, the undersigned voters of Ada County, Idaho,
hereby associate ourselves together as a BRYAN
DEMOCRATIC CLUB, for the advancement of
Democratic principles and policies and the nomina-
ton and election of Hon. w. ]. Bryan President
of the United States.
We denounce the attempts of the predatory inter
ests in party in their efforts to prevent the
nomination of peerless leader, and desire to aid
in bringing to the attention of the Democracy of
Idaho the insiduous workings of the enemy di-
rected to the effacement of Bryan from the leader
ship OF his party and obstructing his great work for
the common people.
We repudiate the statement that the Democratic
party either solicited, received used money fur
nished by the Western Federation of Miners during
the last campaign.
We denounce the attempts of some members of
the Ada County Democratic Club to make it appear
that the Democrats of Ada County desire to abandon
the Mormon issue or to combine with the Mormons.
The Ada County Democracy is in full accord with
the declaration of the National Democratic platform
demanding the determination of poygamy and COM
plete separation of church and state in political
affairs and with the Democracy of the state in its
demand that the provisions of the State Constitution
be complied with by all voters
We opposed to any political alliance with the
Mormons.
Among the organizers many we'll known Dem
ocrats and party workers,-men who endorse the
platform of the past two campaigns and recognize
the Constitution of the State supreme law. They
have organized as a protest against the attitude of
those Democrats who would make an alliance with
the Mormons
The Club believes that the best men of the Demo-
cratic party and also of the Republican party en-
dorse the assertion recently made by one of the
highest public officials of Idaho, Republican, when
he said: eff we were honest men we would sup
port Dubois in his mormon fght,-he is right"
The list of members of the new Club includes
among others the of prominent Democrats
and party workers, whose position in this matter
conradicts very forcibly the claim that the Demo-
Gratis have abandoned, propose to abandon, the
the Mormon issue. Among the signers of the new

A Close Call

Last Saturday morning Miss
Trixy Nickel had a very close
call for her life and if it had not
been for the GOODNESS of her mo-
ther might have died an agonizing
death. She mistook II bottle of
carbolic acid for the medicine she
was taking and took dose OF 1t,
badly burning her mouth and
throat. Her mother gave her an
emetic and phoned for DIR. Green,
who went out to the ranch as soon
as possible. The girls life had
been saved, the doctor said, by
the promptness of her mother in
administering an emetic and he
thought she would suffer no great
inconvenience save II very sore
throat and mouth,

NATL FOREST
CHANGES
Goyernment Adopts New Names
for Reserves and Divides
Responsibility.

The National Forest service has
been embarrassed somewhat by
the arrangement of the different
reserves and, in many cases, in the
similarity of the names of the diff
ferent reserves. This similarity
Of names has been the cause of a
general Encouragement of the re-
serves and the changing of the
names.
On the LIST inst, this general
change took effect, and from now
on there will he no "Medicine Bow
National Forest" but in its stead
will be the "t'heyenne National
Forest" which will comprise both
the old Medicine Bow national for
est in Wyoming, and the Crow
Creek national forest, with heud
quarters at Saratoga, j. w. Mel.
sou, supervisor.
What has been known as the
Sierra Madre national forest, in
Wyoming, will hereafter be known
as the Hayden National Forest"
sith headquarters at Encnmpment
James Blackhall acting supervisor.
This change in names WAS made
in order to avoid confusion in the
matter of mail, and the re-arrange-
ment was to concentrate the man
agement of the different reserve
headquarters.

To Improve Elkhorn Property

Ray Campbell, the secretary
and f. Beck, the president of the
Elkhorn Copper company, who
went out to Elk Mountain to look
over the company's mine at that
place, returned Friday. AS the
shaft was full of water it was not
possible to W. any of the work
ings of the mine. But the indica-
tions We're of such a character
that Mr.. Beck says the company
feels warranted in putting in a
steam hoist and machinery will be
at once purchased and installed,
in order hat the mine may be
worked as soon as the water has
receded sufficiently.

Ship Fine Beef Steers.

The big cattle firm of Hunter,
Casteel Il Hunter shipped eight
cars of fine four year-old dehorned
beef steers from this place Satur-
day for the Chicago Market The
cattle had been driven down from
their ranch to this place, and were
rolling fat, the result of dehorning
and %judicious feeding.
AS soon as a lot of dehorned an.
finals are turned into IA feeding lot
or field they begin to thrive, as
they have no fear OF each other.
These steers are a specimen lot of
what can be produced in this coun-
try on grass and hay alone, being
equal in flesh and flavor to any
thing produced in the corn belt.

The Transition OF a Country
From an Undeveloped to
a Developed State

Like the failed Princess waiting
for her Prince, the little town of
Saratoga. Wyoming, a pocket edi-
ton of that more renowned resort
in the far East, has rested idly
along the shores of the North
Platte river, a seeming rose born
to blush nseen
No more charming spot could
have been selected by the pioneers
of southern Wyoming than the
one where Saratoga was builded.
Cow creek, Jack Greek, North and
South Spring creeks, Brush,
French, Encampment and Cedar
creeks, all dashing merrily down
ward from the SNOW filled crevass-
es or the glacier capped mountains
and emptying into the North
Platte at or near Saratoga. These
streams are filled with mountain
trout, and the disciples of Isaac
Walton have for years known this
rs n of the most enticing trout
fishing resorts in the west.
The beautiful Sierra Madre
range to the souil,.wes and the
Medicine Bow range to the east
form II setting for the charming
little valley town, and at the same
time satisfy the longings of the
more practical by giving up to
commerce., countless tons of rich
copper, gold and silver ore.
The river furnishes pure noun
tain drinking water and irrigate
countless acres of typical noun
tain ranches while serving to beau
tify tue town and filling the bas-
kets of thousands IF fishermen who
prefer to catch the wary trout
away from his hiding places, und-
er the banks of mountain streams.
Not only are the broad plains
and the rolling foothills filled with
cattle and sheep ranches, but
countless numbers of sage chick
ems and other game birds tease the
hunter into action, and large game
abounds along the ranges to furn-
ish sport for the more daring hunt
ers.
Thus are the idealistic and aes-
thetic tastes satisfied, while COM
merce is developed by men whose
hands and fortunes turn to money
the more practical features of the
landscape.
And now Saratoga has been
brought into direct contact with
the world by mean Of a standard
guage railroad just completed by
the Penn. Wyoming Copper Com
pany, of Encampment, and known
as the Saratoga and Encampment
railroad. The tiresome, oldfash-
toned stage coach trips from I'm
ion Pacific points into Saratoga
have become history of the kind
that progressive Saratoga people
are glad to forget, and the dusty,
wearisome four-hour journey over
land, from Walcott, has been re-
duced to one hour in H comfortable
railroad coach.
Saratoga is nov the terminal OF
the e railway and traffic has al
ready assumed such proportions
that two engines aud the temper
AIRY equipment of the little railway
are already taxed far beyond their
capacity of two trains daily be
tween Saratoga and Walcott.
Within Il few weeks steel will

u
service will be established between
that once isolated mining town
and the Union Pacific at Walcott.
Saratoga is an interesting town
and Its growth and development
both ms a commercial center and
health and pleasure resort will be-
watched with interest by western.
ers. Forty years ago, before the
cattlemen assumed control of the
ranges along the foot hills. munv
OF the mountain tribes of Indians
made regular visits to the Platte
at this point bringing their sick
and aged to camp about the Med
cine Springs" which they found
to relieve many Of their ailments,
and OF the groups of springs still
unused and unimproved upon the
resort property, there is the the
remnant of II great basin, at the
bluff east of the town, known as
the Indian Bath Tub" and where
the Indians enjoyed swimming
and bathing in this great sulphur
pool. Only II vestage of the orig
mai pool remains, but one has to
play but slightly on the imagina-
ton 10 picture the Indian camp
dotting the shore and hid under
the trees of the Island, with the
copper colored braves and their
dusky maidens INDUCING in then
morning dip.
The valley surrounding these
hot springs, bounded by the Med
icine BuN and Sierra Madre
ranges. WAS neutral ground to all
Wyoming and Colorado tribes.
Here, hereditary enemies met on
Il peace footing, and every tribe
fraterniZed with every other tribe
while engaged in bathing IN the.
"Great Medicine Waters" As all
roads led to Rome ut one time,
SO all Indian trails led to these
hot springs, and peace and amity
reigned supreme within the valley.
1t had been a healing resort for
hundreds of years before America
was discovered for all the tribes in
the west.
With the incoming of the cattle
men, these picturesque characters
of the early civilization discover
ed through their Indian friends
the remarkable medicinal quail
ties of the many bubbling springs
where Saratoga now stands, and
long before the first log hut attest
ed the proprietorship of the white
man, the cowboys would often
camp here IN crossing the great
untamed desert from Green River
to Cheyenne and partake Of the
benefits of the springs.
About thirty-tive years ago the
first whiteman took up a homestead
at Saratoga. The natural beauty
of the spot, the geographical loca-
ton in the center of the rich val
ley, the splendid hunting and fish
ing, had probably rs much to do
with the beginning of settlement
MS did the fact that doctors were
seldom needed for those who
could enjoy the freedom of the
hot springs, and from this frontier
beginning there has been gradual
ly builded a town of Importance
and a resort that has at last at
tracted capital and public atten-
ton.
Twelve miles to the northeast
of Saratoga there rises at the head
of the Medicine Bow range, Elk
Mountain, II of the most beau
tiful peaks on the American on
tinent. Directly to the east is the
once famous Gold Hill, where Il
few years ago many promising
gold aud copper prospects were
opened, but which have since been
partially abandoned owing to the
excessive cost for transportation
