One often hears the remark that ut

And that leads up to our subject, the
question of what Office. seekers shonld
do toward lending financial help to
the newspapers which help elect
them. Hitherto the financial aid
rendered the Sun has been remarka-
bly, unanimous in quantity, that
quantity being nil. But, hold. We
are mistaken. One senator in the
eastern part of the county, to whom
we sent the Sun after his nomination
and election, SEN us a money order
for 60 cents, requesting up to discon-
tinue the Sun, as he a not inter
ested in this part of the county. This
action on the senator's part led to sun
dry hot and lurid conclusions on the
matter of campaign contributions to
the newspapers and the Sun has
adopted the policy of helping those
who help it. If a nominee is not
willing to contribute at least a years
subscription we shall consider that
he does not need our help and will
act accordingly.

Mining Officers Here

W. ID. Scott, of New York City,
the president of the Equitable
Copper Co., arrived yesterday and
was met here by Ash and Alfred
Brile and taken out to Elk Noun
tain Tuesday morning to inspect
the Elk Mountain copper mine,
which this company now holds n

the party will 90 up into the En-.

and will doubtless do considerable
work, both on its own claims as

Wyoming Fruit Gardening

Mr.. and Mrs, Albert Walter
have an example in their vegeta-
BILE and fruit garden, over on the
east side, of what energy and hard
labor, combined with skill and
judgement can do in the way of
raising fruit and vegetables. AT
this time they have red currant
bushes so heavily loaded with
fruit as large as cherries, that
they have to be propped up to
keep the berries off the ground.
They have gooseberry bushes,
loaded with ripening fruit, the
berries of which are as large as
olives. Besides lettuce, onions,
radishes, etc, they have cabbages
that promise to reach fifteen
pounds to the head, as they have
in the past. This vegetable gar
den, which is a veritable gold
mine, is made fragrant with the
flowers that border it.

After the Lodge had been closed
the tables were prepared and the
members all sat down to a ban

King created a good impression
From here he went to Encamp-

Mowers have stood the test in this Western
country for the past twenty-five years, they
are the standard of hay cutting and grain cut
ting machinery. The fact that there are almost
as many MCCORMICK machines in use as all
other makes combined, is the best argument
which can be made in their favor.
The MCCORMICK MOWER is one
hundred pounds heavier than it's nearest COM
petitor. 1t is not made 50 by throwing in so
much cast iron, but the additional weight is
put where it will serve the purpose for which
it is intended, by giving strength where there
is heavy strain, combining durability, with
long life and easy cutting.
MCCORMICK RAKES are as we'll made
as the mowers, they are made for heavy work.
A rancher in this valley has raked ninety
acres of sage brush with a ten foot McCOR-
MICK RAKE. He will use the same rake
this season in his hay meadow without any
repairs.
We do not say you can save a certain
small number of dollars by purchasing a Nc
CORMICK MOWER, but do say to you you
can save many dollars by purchasing a Nc
CORMICK MOWER, the saving coming
through having a machine which will give you
satisfactory service for a number of years, with
a minimum expense for worn out parts, with
out constant delays through break downs at
the time of year when you are busy, with ex-
pense counting up every minute your machine
is idle.

ALASKA WHEAT is
A CRUEL DECEIT

Washington, Aug. 25.-Someone
has been trying to "string" the far
mers of the country
According to experts of the depart
ment of agriculture, the exploitation
of the so-called Alaska wheat,
which is said to be about four times
the size of ordinary American wheat
in head, and to yield "under ordinary
soil conditions" 200 bushels to the
acre, is almost as rank a fake as the
Cardiff Giant"
For the past few months articles
glowingly descriptive of the alleged
newly discovered grain, and predict
ing a consequent revolution in the
wheat industry of the nation, have
been widely published in magazines
and newspapers.
DR.. Galloway, chief Of the bureau
of plant industry thus explodes the
pretensions of the alaska" wheat
boomers:
"This variety of wheat has been
known for many years, both in this
country and in Europe. It has been
tried at several state experiment sta
tions in the western part of the United
States during the past Is years, but
nowhere have the yields been high
enough to merit attention. It has
been grown to very limited extent
on certain heavy, undrained soils in
France for many years. In such To-
cations it is said to yield better than
ordinary wheat, but as 1t is one of
the poorest wheats known for making
flower it is never grown where ordi-
nary varieties of the grain will
thrive"

third with 4,56S.OOO tons.
Ohio produced 4,O5O,OOO tons Mis-
scuri 4,O6O,OOO tons. All the rest pro-
duced less than 100000 each. 1t
should be observed. however, that in
the matter of tonnage, per acre, no
state east OF the Mississippi and north
of the Ohio equals Louisiana, that
yielded two tons per acre. Mississippi
per acre, beat New York, Pennsylvania
Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Con-
necticut and all the other northern
"hay states" out Of sight.
What will the physical energies or
the agricultural south be when they
are brought to perfection? There is

WOODPECKERS DESTROY
MILES OF TELEGRAPH POLES

Washington, Aug. 25.-Woodpeck-
ers are destroying telephone and tele.
graph poles by the wholesale in the
south and southwest, particularly in
Texas, Arizona and California, says
bureau bulletin issued by the forest
service. In some places 80 per cent
o. all the poles along the right Of way
have been riddled.
A Western Union official who has
recently returned from an inspection
through the west, reported having
seen 25 telephone poles with two or
three hundred holes drilled clear
through them. Some were three or
four inches in diameter.
An officer of the Illinois Central
sailroad found that out of 268 white
cedar telephone poles along the right
Of way near Covlngton, Tenn, 10 had
been bored.
In some cases destruction OF the
pole takes only few months and the
weakened condition makes it danger,
out for linemen to climb the stick.
The woodpecker's object in drilling
the holes IS uncertain. One telephone
man said the humming Of the wires
was mistaken by the birds for insepcts
excavating beneath the surface Of the
wood, and that they drilled the poles
IN quest Of these imaginary insects. It
IS very probable, however, says the
forest service expert, that he holes are
excavated for storage purposes. The
is a provident bird. At
the proper season It stores up a sup
ply Of acorns and other foods for fu-
ture consumption. In the summer
these holes are often found stored
with acorns. !
