viii Enlarge Work Here.

Secretary Wilson stated before re-
firing last night that the bureau Of
animal husbandry had decided to still
further enlarge the horse breeding ex-
periments at the Fort Collins agricul-
tural college, and If a favorable condi-
ton is found here, the sheep breeding
experiment here would be enlarged, a
much larger sum of money being APP
propriated for that purpose. I'VE are
trying to find The ideal range sheep
for Wyoming and shall not be salts
fed until that has been accomplished.
The work done here SO far is highly
to be commended, and l may be frank
enough to say that the new work will
probably be undertaken" He had not
then seen the sheep on the King
ranges, and when he added this morn
ing that the trip had pleased him,
there was reason in the minds OF both
DR.. Merica and Director Towar to look
for the promised addition to the scope
of the Wyoming experiments.
Good Accomplished.
1t can be set down for q certainty
that the visit of Secretary Wilson has
already had a good effect here. He
was quite enthusiastic, not alone at
the conditions along the lines Of farm
ing and the practically perfect climatic
conditions, but the sheep experiments,
in which he is taking a deep interest,
also. An effort was made to have him
stay over until tomorrow, and the sec
rotary himself was more than half In
elined to do SO, but his secretary re-
minded him of some obligations that
could not well be %foregone, and 30 the

victed short time ago on the
charge of stealing q steer, was re-
fused new trial and now has to

Sunday was a good day for bath
ing and q number Of our citizens
took advantage of the opportunity.
About 3 o'clock p. m. the rain fell
in sheets and as a number Of
people were on their way going
and coming from the big bridge
they did not take time to don
bathing suits but deemed it we'll
enough to retain the clothing they
had on. OF course there was little
danger Of drowning but yet there
was plenty Of water to give one a
good bath from head to feet. Two
results were accomplished. The
clothing received thorough rims

all the moisture it was capable OF
holding. This can be vouched for

Fred Fox, q young man who

from the accident proved to severe
for his constitution and he died
Sunday morning at ten O'Clock.
His funeral was held Tuesday at

Mr.. Fox was an exemplary young

Americas Natural Resources.


While the question of the exhaustion
of the natural resources of the United
States is occupying the center of the
stage Of public interest, it is worth while
to consider the significance of statistics
regarding the petroleum industry which
are new and startling. Here they are:
Until 1S9S-just ten years ago-94 per
cent. of the mineral oil output of this
country came from the states of Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Ten
nessee and West Virginia. Now, so far
as quantity is concerned, this region
holds second place Last year its out
put was GOOOO,OO0 barrels, while the out
put of Texas, California, Colorado, Wy
oming, Kansas and Oklahoma aggre-
gated 100, 100000 barrels. Fifteen years
ago there was hardly Il suspicion that
mineral oil was one of the resources Of
the West.
The western oil is not so available for
illumination as for fuel, but there are
now resources for Illumination which
were undreamed of when the Pennsyl-
vania oil fields began to be exploited for
kerosene. Then the electric light was
only q scientific experiment. Now it is
a competitor with the kerosene lamp,
and in cities the lamp occupies second
place. Every water power is now rec
ognized as available to run electric
dynamOs for Illuminating purposes and
for operating machinery.
1t is well that the waste of natural
rcsouI ces should be avoided, but there
is no reason for Americans TO 90 into
a decline through fear that Their pos
rerity will find themselves unable to
support existence. This is a wonderful
continent, whose riches, in spite of all
that they have yielded. have only begun
to be exploited, and are really only be
ginning to be erstood.-Evening Wis

During the week, DR.. Reid is editor Of

acting pastor of the Congregational

Every dress" he said, should be a

health should govern rather than those
of fashion. Don't bring your large hats
with great DIumes to church. The 9TH

After time | found that while he was
really present he was totally eclipsed by

DIR. TALKS OF FOOD
Pres. of Board of Health.

"What shall | eat?" is the daily in
not hesitate to say that in my judg
ment q large percentage Of disease is
caused by poorly selected and improp-
erly prepared food. My personal ex-
perience with the fully-cooked food,
known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to
speak freely of its merits.
From overwOrk, l suffered several
years with malnutritiOn, palpitation Of
the heart, and loss of sleep. Last sum-
mer l was led to experiment personally
with the new food, which l used in con-
junction with good rich cows milk. In
a short time after | commenced its use,
the disagreeable symptoms disappeared,
my hearts action became steady and
normal, the functions Of the stomach
were properly carried out and again
slept as soundly and as well as in my
youth.
q look upon Grape-Nuts as a perfect
food, and no one can gainsay but that
it has a most prominent place in ra-
tional, scientific system of feeding. Any
one who uses this food will soon be con-
WINGED of the soundness of the principle
upon which it is manufactured and may
thereby know the facts as to its true
