the recognition of all sound is denied,
and who but year ago would have

children, then, are mutes no more.
With an articulation which is described
as being IAN improvement on much
of that of children in whom the sense
of hearing is acute ana to whom so
careful a training in speech is not
given these young girls conveyed the
words of their essays inteligibly to
the audience. 1t was a great achieve

methods of scientific education of the

Good Times

In spite of political conventions and
the excitement of discussing national
conditions in gross and in detail are
most favorable.
Lumber, iron and other staple prod
ucts are advancing steadily in price.
Banks, merchants and other conf
mercial interests are more stable and
markets generally have a healthier
trend.
Our hope is in the harvests. Our
confidence is in the crops. Lumber
- and kindred products have their
laces In the commerce of the world,
vbut the wealth of this nation is large
ly agricultural The farmer feeds and
clothes the world, and there is, and
will continue to be, demand for some
thing to wear.
The United States is the great gran
airy of the world. Our southern states
have a practical monopoly of the
growing of cotton.
The corn crop OF 1870 was 100000,
600 bushels; the corn crop of 1901
was $500 900 900 bushels.
The cotton crop of 1870 was 3,0O0,0O'
bales; in 1907, 1S,5OO,OOO bales.
When the value of the cotton, corn
wheat and other farm products is c)1

Rock River, Wyo., Feb. -, 1908.
To the Editor OF The Republican.
l saw an article in the Cheyenne Tri.
bune where a lady from the north end
of this county wrote her opinion on
the leasing Of public lands, and she
said that the people who signed the pc
tition against it were ali ~unconcerned
parties, such as mail carriers and
business men, vino did not know what
the little men would have to suffer un-
less the bill for leasing of public lands
went through. ] suppose l am the
mail carrier she vas driving at, so |
will try n tell her the reason l sign.
it.
Will Take Homestead.
l am a young man and hope some
time in the future to take up a home,
stead and have a show as well as the
leople who already have one, and it is
d sure thing that If this bill goes
through the young men are down and
out. For the reason that most every
where within the railroad limits every
other section is bought up by the large
companies and large individuals, and
if they could lease the odd sections,
up would go the fences, and what
would a man do with 100 acres of
land where he was hemmed in on all
sides? l claim that it would stop set
tlement throughout the country.
Handling Beef Steers.
And another thing. What will you
CO with your beef steers when you are
ready to ship? By the time you drive
the forty-tive mics to a railroad on a
county road, which will undoubtedly be
fenced, and load them in the cars,
when they get to Omaha they will look
more like a bunch of greyhounds than
teef steers. Let us go back to where
mail carriers are not interested. Now,
Il we're carrying the mail in the win,
ter, when it is about 20 degrees below
zero, how would you like to get oul
from under the laprobes and open and
shut about a dozen gates every day?
Il would be very easy for you 10 solve
the problem why l signed that petition.
Good Feed on Range.
1 notice that this year there is just
as good feed on the plains as there
has been for some time for horses or
cattle. And there is range where a
horse or a COW can live hat is so far
away from water that sheep can't get
to it. l signed that petition the writer
speaks of in my own behalf, for the
reason | though it was right. 1 did
rot sign it because some one loaded
me with hot air. l would like to see
the time come when this question
comes to a vote of the people, ann
will be among the first to cast my vote
against the leasing of public lands.
