WORTHY OF

In commenting upon the excellent
showing made by the county of ALBANY
and the city of Laramie, the Wyoming
Tribune says.
Albany county's bonded debt is he
ing reduced every year, and it is
estimated that in FIVE years the county
will be out of debt. A few years ago
Mayor Mckee of Laramie laid the
foundations of a sinking fund for that
city. AS rapidly as a surplus of 81. 900
is accumulated it is applied on the
bonded debt.
This is an example worthy of emu-
lation by every city in the state.
There Is too much of a tendency to
pile up expenses and let future genera
lions take care of the principal. That
would be all right If each year did not
bring new demands. But in.
crease with the growth Of population.
Unless strict economy is observed ana

SOME OF OUR BLESSINGS.

A resident of Laramie becomes SO
cred upon this valley by nature, that
they are taken as a matter of course
and are hardly appreciated. An
equable climate, health-giving atmos-
phere, pure mountain spring water
with just enough lime to strengthen
the bones. irrigation water for hun
dreds of thousands Of acres of fertile
land, mountain resorts as beautiful as
the hand of nature ever fashioned,
trout streams teeming with the finny
tribe. mountain climbing and pine for
ests for the health-seeker and re-
sources sufficient to make a city of
$1,000 people, all are at our command
and not valued as the people OF other
regions seem to value natural ad-
vantages.
A lady just from California remarked
to the writer that the valley of Sand
creek presented more beauty than any
trip out from Los Angeles. The freaks
of nature washed by the waters of the
ages, Chimney rock, the cave of the
animals, or rather the animal trap,
the natural bridge, the falls-all ap-
pealed to her as being more beautiful
and even awe-inspiring than many of
the scenic wonders of Colorado and
California, where people travel days
to view some minor freak of the ele-
ments.
Over in the Snowy range is where
the people of Laramie have the great
est opportunity to develop picnic
grounds second to none in America
1t is now accessible at a minimum of
expense. and after a good road is
constructed up the North Fork of the
Little Laramie, the beauties of the
gorge cut by that dashing mountain
stream and the grandeur of old Snowy
and the La Plata lakes may be fully
contemplated, Up there, too, there is
trout fishing as well as in the valley
below. The lakes have been stocked
and the angler can pitch his tent be-
side a classic body of water. in a
stones throw from perpetual snow,
NIL his lungs with ozone waited
through the pine woods of the national
forest, sleep under a heavy pair of
blankets at night and feel the return
OF health and strength to his tired
body.
A rustic hotel away up at the base
OF that snow-capped mountain would
draw much trade in the summer sea-
son.

COAL FIELD
LESLIE MILLER SECURES CON
TRoL OF MOST PROMISING
FIELD IN THE COUNTY.
Property Lies Three Miles South Of
Rock River and Han Mile From
Union Pacific RaIiroad-Rates &C.
cured and Effort to Be Made to
Supply the Nebraska Demand.

Coal from Albany county will soOn
be a factor to be figured with in the
commercial coal business Of southern
Wyoming and Nebraska. 1t has long
been known that coal exists in large
bodies In this county. and as the coal
lies in the cretaceous formation, which
formation Ia the basis for all the Wyo-
ming Goals, the quality is assured to
be as high as any. However, a great
part of the coal lies too far from
transportation facilities to warrant ex-
~tensive development.
Laramie Man In Control.
In the last few days Leslie A. Miller
of this city has completed negotiations
which give him control of the most
promising of all the Albany county
coal projects. and which he is now ex-
plotting. The property In question lies
three miles south OF Rock River sta
ton and one-half mile from the Union
Pacific main line.
Four Separate Veins.
There are four veins of coal on the
property, varying in width from three
and one-half feet to ten feet, all lying
within a radius OF fifty feet, and total
ing about t%wenty-four feet of coal in
the fifty. The veins cross-cut the
northwest quarter of the section, and
slope in such direction as to underlie
the whole of the section, thus assur-
ing a practically inexhaustible supply
within the limits of the property.
Two Partially Developed.
Two of the veins. the three and one
half and the ten-foot veins, have been
developed to some extent, the coal
from the three and one-half-foot vein
having been used by the Union Pacific
in the steam shovel work on the Ma
honey and other large cuts between
Lookout and Rock River, and pro-
nounced by the engineers to be of SUI
perior steam quality.
Nearest to Nebraska.
The main field of distribution for
Wyoming coal is the state of Nebraska,
and this property lies forty-two miles
nearer Nebraska than any other pro-
ducing coal field in Wyoming, the
nearest competing field being at Han
ma At a depth of only twenty-five feet
this coal proves to be the equal Of the
Hanna product.
Rates by Railroad.
With proper handling the Rock Riv-
er property can be made to. produce
coal as cheaply as any mine in this
section. Equable rates have been Sc
cured from the Union Pscifc, and with
the supply Of Wyoming coal never
ieqnaling the demand in Nebraska, the
possibilities of this enterprise can
hardly be overestimsted.

BOYS Life Saved.

My little boy, four years old, had a
severe attack of dysentery. We had
two physicians; both of them gave him

saved his life.-William H. Stroling,

To Check the Skyscrapers.

New York has begun to wonder whether
1t is not growing too tall for safety. A
commission is at work to revise the build
Ing code, and the question of limiting sky
scrapers was one of the first raised. To
the surprise Of many the man who de-
signed the tower of one Of the most ex-
treme Of the structural needles was out
ing that in future no building should be
higher than one and half times the
width of the abutting street. The presi-
dent OF the board of underwriters advo-
Gated a rule limiting non-freproof build
Ings to sixty feet and ''so-called fireproof'
buildings to $50 feet.
If the more liberal of these proposed
rules is adopted the New York sky line
of the future will be moderate horizon.
The changes Of the past few years have
been remarkable. and feeling Of genuine
uneasiness has begun to manifest itself
In many quarters. The fire menace is now
regarded as serious enough to compel the
most scientific study Of fireproofing meas
ures and to stimulate efficiency on the
part Of the fire-fghting service. for New
York has tardily awakened to the fact
that in the course Of it's frantic endeavor
to pile layer upon layer of humanity over
the restricted area OF Manhattan Island 1t
has been accommodating perils which now
hold the possibility Of a Notwithstanding
catastrophe.

Or shall the charge be conspiracy of ST.
'lence and sitting?
What is the use of proposing and enact.
ing obviously futile laws? Some of the
most urgently needed regulations are al
ready dead letters because those who
framed them failed to provide means OF
enforcement or to foresee the impossibility
of their enforcement. For instance, take
the matter of expectoration in the cars.
This is prohibited by a police ordinance
equivalent to law. in the District Of Co.
lumbia. Yet 1t Is violated daily. hourly
perhaps every minute, and with impunity
because the offender knows that no con-
ductor is going to stop the car and seek a
policeman and run the risk of losing his
pay through court appearance. and pos
sibly his place. No passenger is likely
to do more than glover at the expecto-
rator, for interference without the back
ing of a policeman's badge is dangerous
pastime.
Certain requirements upon individuals
are of moral rather than legal strength.
and they are the better based upon moral
obligations. The question Of compelling
men to give place to women in crowded
street cars might be left to be worked
to answer through force Of example and
the power of polite sentiment. There
will always be Doors in the world, and nc
law will ever avail to eliminate them OF
mend their manners.

The Hideless Deer.

The Intelligent American Jury has
reached q climax of absurdity in a case
just reported from Utica, N. Y, in a
manner to call attention to the need
either Of swift change of the law or
the ultimate abandonment Of the jury
system In certain cases. The state law
provides a penalty for any person, who
is detected with the carcass of a deer
in his possession out of the pecified
hunting season. That statute is intended
tc check the hunters and to protect deer
life. 1t is sensible, proper measure
and Is supported by public sentiment.
In the case in point a man was accused
of violating the law on the ground that
he had in his possession the fresh hide
Of a deer, which he had rendered for
sale to a merchant, having previously
sold other hides to him. There was no
dispute as to the fact. but 1t was argued
by the defendants counsel that a deer 8
hide was not part Of the deer In the
eye OF the law. and that therefore the
prohibition did not apply to him. This
question was submitted to the jury, and
was not part of the deer. and that there
fore the defendant was not guilty.
Possibly the New York deer are Of a
special hideless variety Maybe they
wear fur overcoats. Possibly they have
detachable skins. Certainly, the average
concept Of this case will be that the
Utica jurymen have remarkable ideas of
zoology. Is not the attention of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to this case urgently de-
manded in the interest of nature truth?

Street Car Manners and Law.

The following paragraph is printed in
the Chicago Record-Herald:
"A police captain of st. Louis has pre-
pared a bill for the municipal assembly
which would make 1t obligatory upon
men to stand in the street cars till every
woman passenger was seated. He was
impelled thereto by a scene that filled him
with Indignation. There were twenty men
all seated In a car and several women
standing, among them a woman eighty
years old. who chung to the straps as best
she could until a girl took pity on her and
gave her the seat she was occupying"
This will be merry measure to en-.
force. Suppose twenty men are sitting
and a woman enters the car. No man
arises to give her a seat. Which Of the
twenty Is to be hailed to court to answer?
Is the conductor to lay hands upon the
first within reach and yank him up to
make room for the woman? Or is he
to pick out the smallest OF the twenty and
pull him forth. on the principle of pro-
ceeding along lines OF least resistance?
Or are all twenty to be rated as in con-
tempt of law and marched of to the
station house to answer to the charge Of
collective disobedience and ungallantry?
