STATE R E COMMENT


Looking Bad for ThermopoIis-
Some years ago a man named Work
man filed a homestead on a pretty fiat
down the Big Horn river from the
Thermopolis hot springs and has held
onto it until ne acquired title.
Recently a stranger appeared on tho
scene and paid Mr.. Workman 500 an
acre for his 100 acre tract of dry. bar
rem sage brush land. There are a mum
Der of facts connected with this sale
which leads to the conclusion That the
purchaser acquired title to this land
for the purpose of establishing a town.
probably for the Lincoln Land com
pany, at the famous hot springs, an
that this town will be on the Burling
ton railroad. while Thermopolis will b.
left cut in the cold.
The Stockgrower hopes this suppo.
sition win prove to be incorrect, but il
certainly looks bad on the face o.
things.
The grade through the town of TheT
mopolis would be very. expensive, and
the Lincoln Land company would MOI
, 1908-02-25

derive any benefit from the rapid IN.
in values which the advent Of
the railroad would produce.
A road can be built through the pro
posed new hot-springs town and on do
the river which would be more cheap'y
operated as well as more economically
constructed.
What on earth does a man wan that
dry bench for at that price if he does
not expect TO establish a town there,
and does not know that T~hermopolis IS
to be left out in the cold by the rail
road?
There Is friction between Thermopo-
lis business men and the Burlington
now, and the former threaten to unto
and freight everything in from Sho-
shoni, on the Northwestern, because
the Burlington has failed to build the
last thirteen miles OF road which woul
make Thermopolis a railroad town.
Bucking a railroad Is the most short
sighted business a town ever engaged
in. Cody secured the Burlington by
playing fair, not by buncomb and
bucking. That is the history of all
towns which have succeeded in secus,
ing a railroad-or anything else worth
having.-Cody Stockgrower.

With the Eden valley project, the
Shoshone project, the Big Horn De,
yelopment company project, the North
Platte project, and a number of lesser
projects, it would seem as though Wyo,
ming is no. seriously out of the run,
ming just at present. Money is com
ing to this state mighty fast and many
people are looking up a chance to get
hold of a tract OF good land. The ir-
rigation projects are furnishing the Up
portunity. Irrigated land will also
bring with the purchaser d settler, as
no n can afford to buy high-pricei
land and not put it in use. 1t would be
like an idle horse-soon eat its heal
off.

Mighty Tough Competition

The board Of county commissioners
of Big Horn county seems to be rather
an association for the encouragement
of rat printers. The county has a nun
Der of struggling and ambitious news,
papers and the commissioners conceiy-
ed the grand scheme of advertising for
bids to let them fight lor the little dab
of county printing. The result Yves
chat the printing went to a little pnper
at one cent a line though the legal
lily OF the publication is very doubtful
THE laws Of the state of Wyoming fix
the price of printing the commission
ers' proceedings mt five cents a lire
and they also fix the salary of the com
missioncrs at IS per diem with mile
age. This Is the lowest legal rate for
printing that is known and is just half
THE regular commercial rate for all al
vertising in all weekly Tapers wortn
reading in the state. Would II not be
well for the commissioners to include
in the call for such bids, a proposition
for a person or persons to do the work
of the county commissioners at the
lowest possible figure? But, seriously
the intent of the statute requiring the
publication cs the proceedings no doubt
was to give the widest possible pub
licity to all actions of the board. If
true, the board ought to let the con
tract to the paper having the greatest
circulation in the county. This paper
should not have been asked to compete
with every ratty rag that was enjoying
the second-class mail privilege. That
there are such papers in every county
and in almost every community, we are
obliged to admit, but that they should
be fostered and encouraged by intelli
gent people is past comprehension.
Most of these fellows are migratory
birds. They allght upon a community,
grab every cent they can get by far
means or foul and soon fly away, proba-
bly, by night, to some other section.
The ma who runs a decent, legiti-
mate newspaper often finds it hard TO
compete with them.-Lander Stats

No other medicine for Woman's
ills in the world has received such
widespread and unqualified en-
dorsement as has Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, made
from native roots and herbs.
No other medicine has such a
record of success for woman's dis
eases, or such hosts of grateful
friends as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
the standard remedy for feminine
ills, Inflammation, liberation, and
consequent Spinal Weakness.
Ithas relieved more cases of Back
ache and Local Weaknesses than
any other one remedy. 1t dissolves
and eXpels tumors in an early stage
of development.
Irregularities and periodic pains,
Weakness of the Stomach, Indiges-
ton, Bloating, Nervous P~rostration,
Headache, General Debility, quickly
yield to it; also deranged organs,
causing pam, uraSSnlS sensations
and backache. Under all circum-
stances it acts in harmony with the
female system.
1t removes that wearing feeling,
extreme lassitude, "don't care "and
" want : to be left : alone" feeling,
excitability, irritability nervousness,
dizziness, faintness, sl-eeplessness,
tiatulency, melancholy orthe "blues."
These II indications of Feminine
disorders, which this medicine over
comes as well as slight arrangement
OF the Kidneys of either sex.
Women who are sick and want 70
get well should refuse to accept any
substitute for Lydia L. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
