Sabbath Amusements an Abomina-

Sabbath observance is also a subject Of
great concern, and organized attempts
are being made to preserve the Lord $
day for rest and worship, as was for
merly the practice in Scotland. There
has been a radical change in this respect.
A friend in Dunfermline the other day
told me that IL a man had attempted TO
pass through the streets of that town in
a motor car or even on bicycle on Sun
day twenty years ago he would have been
mobbed: and If any person had invited
people to a Sunday tea or to game OF
tennis or golf he would have been an out
cast in the community. But today the
tendency in the cities of Scotland. and
also in the larger towns. is to devote the
afternoon of Sunday to amusement and

Throughout Scotland the railways suss
pend traffic on the Sabbath. There are
no Sunday trains except the fast express
which leaves for London and the south
of England every night. Coaches and
steamboats, are all tied up. You cannot
go anywhere on a journey. and even the
street cars have stopped running. except
i'm the large cities. where they DO not
commence until noon. The question or
Sunday street car service agitated the
entire Scottish nation a few years ago.
and when IL was submitted to vote or
tho people small majority decided To
suspend traffic until noon and run cars
on half time during the afternoon ana
evening.
In the morning everybody goes TO
church. The streets are crowded with
people i'm their Sunday best. carrying
their Bibles and aiymn books and wearing
the air of piety. but IL is no longer con-
Sidered a sin To take a promenade In the
park in the afternoon or take Q ride IN
the country. And I'm a few places Sunday
tennis and golf are allowed. A very
large majority of the golf clubs prohibit
Sunday playing on their links. and other
outdoor sports like cricket. bowling and
tennis, are severely frowned upon.

81 balls he was to give. There was uni

After breakfast government officials
of high rank in their brilliant court
dresses, drive to the emperor's palace
to offer New-year's greetings, while
officials of lesser station repair to the
place of their daily work to pay respect
to the head of their office. School
children assemble in their schools.
where with their teachers they pay
homage to the pictures of their SOY
ereigns, and further celebrate the day
with a New-year's song and the nation
al hymn. Ordinary people call on
their acquaintances the housewives
remaining at home to receive and en-
terrain visitors.
With the gIittering dress and pol
ished carriages of high dignitaries,
the plumes and bright costumes Of
military officials, and the gayly attired
maidens and children, the streets pre-

sight. Every shop-freed Of business

The twisted straw rope under the
caves, of ferns, oranges and Holsters

fortune; the branches of green pine
and bamboo, placed on both sides Of
the front entrance, arc indicative OF
length of days; and the national flags
of the rising sun crossed over the
roof, are an expression of patriotism.
Along the decorated streets comic
musicians stroll, stopping at each
house, for a penny or two, to sing n
merry song or to dance funny dance.
Squares and alleys are full Of boys
and girls-the boys engaged in flying
kites. the girls playing battledore.
The heavens are dotted with all kinds
and sizes of kites and the air Is filed
with their humming sound. In battle

with young maidens, girls running
after a youth who tries to escape from

Crook and Uinta county fields In the
Popo Agile field near Lander much ac-
tivity has been displayed, as many as
ten new wells having been brought III
during the year. A feature of this de-
velopment work is that the fuel oil IS
now being used to generate steam Tor
propelling the drills A notable dlScoN-
cry of gas was made during the sum-
mer near Basin, in Big Horn county,
and that city will soon enjoy both heat
and light as result, a company having
been given the franchise within the last
two months The same drilling outfit
is now at work near Cody, in the same
county, with the intention of striking
a well to furnish that city with natural
gas Arrangements are also being
made to pipe the gas well near GreyoHil
into that town for commercial purposes.
The Douglas oil and gas field has been
steadily developing. In September the
city council of Douglas granted fran
chise to the owners of the big gas wells
near that city, and the provisions of the
franchise require natural gas to lie
piped to Douglas and available for use
within a year. The development of
wyoming oil and gas has been delayed
by the fact that all such fields are still
located some distance from railroad,
and with contemplated extensions dur
ing the coming year great activity IS
expected in these products. Gas and
oil are found in almost every county in
the state, the first oil wells having

Copper mountain country continues to
develop, the most notab BILE construction
of the year being the immense power
dam now under way across the Big
Horn river. This is being built by the
Boysen interests for the purpose of fur
nishing both power and transportation
to the Copper mountain district, and it
will be completed early next spring
Irrigation.
Wyoming made remarkable progress
IN irrigation during 1908. The Wyo-
ming Central company has submitted
its complete plans for the immense
project in central Wyoming, and con-
struction work is under way. 1t will
be the largest irrigation enterprise in
the world. The main canal will be over
seventy-five miles in length, 132 feet
across the top, and carrying fourteen
rect OF water, giving a supply of 1000
cubic feet per second The initial in
Vestment will amount TO more than ST.

the building of lis miles of new line.
The North Platte extension of the
Union Pacific, now within thirty miles
of the wyoming line, is expected to be
continued into the state next spring;
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul has
completed surveys and is buying right
of way into Sheridan, and is expected
to construct 124 miles up Tongue river

continue its extension from Laramie,
Wyo., into the rich coal and livestock
fields of northern Colorado. The rail-
roads are contributing their share to-
ward the development of the state by
opening up new Lines of transportation
in various parts of the state, and the
completion of the above lines will add
materially to the states wealth.
Oil and Gas Development.
Marked progress has been made in
the utilization and development of the
states oil and gas fields during the
past year. In the Salt creek fields
northwest of Casper in Natrona county
several new wells have been brought
in, and the same may be said of the

Cheyenne. Wyo., Dec. 26.-Despite a
financial depression extending over
greater part of the year, decline in
wool and livestock prices, and the infiu-
ence of a presidential election tending
10 delay the investment of new capital,
Wyoming's balance sheet for the year
1908 is closed with a very satisfactory
record. It shows 100000 acres entered
for dry farms, 4S. 600 additional irrigated
acres. new irrigation projects under
way covering over 100000 acres and
requiring $13,5Ss,23 to construct, which
will provide homes for over 1000 fami-
lies before the close of 1909. It shows
an increased valuation of all property
as returned for assessment of nearly
$4,000, 900, a decrease of the states
bonded debt $4,000. leaving a balance
of only $4,000, which IS believed to be
one of the smallest state obligations in
existence.
States Greatest Asset.
Wyoming again leads all other states
and territories in 1908 in the matter of
wool production-the states largest as
set The total number of sheep in Wyo-
ming Jan. l, 1909. as compiled by the
state board of sheep commissioners, is
5.131,1S2 head. valued at $23.090.719, or
one-third of the total assessed valuation
Ol lIt Sldlt. AOu 10 lnlS lIlC value OF
lands and buildings devoted to the
sheep industry. and it easily stands as
Wyoming's biggest industry. During
1908 approximately 1851. 62S sheep were
shorn, producing 37,213,024 pounds of
wool in the grease. This product
secured out 12,0CS, 16S pounds, and sold
at an average of 80 cents per secured
pound. A heavier tonnage was mar
keted this year than last, but the great
~ reduced prices obtained for the prod
uct caused a decrease in the amount
paid TO the growers of approximately
s1,250,000. Market conditions and the
unusually heavy forage crops of the
year tended to keep many more sheep
in the state during the winter than
usual. and with an abundance of feed
and range conditions generally favor
able, with contagion almost obliterated
and under strict control. the sheep and
wool industry for 1909 promises to
greatly eclipse all former years. Fol-
lowing is the number and valuation of
sheep IN Wyoming Jan. 1, 1909. as COM
