That constitutional Amendment

1t has not been definitely deter
mined as yet whether the Constitu-
tional Amendment, submitted to the
voters of Wyoming at the November
election was passed or rejected. If it
is decided that it was lost, then we
shall never be able to amend our
Constitution. There we're 1852
votes out Of a total state vote of 3d.
SCI. last on the Amendment, 1850
for and 1853 against. 1t would
seem that there we're 24,03S voters
who did not take enough interest in
the matter to vote either way. Inas-
much as the Amendment received an
overwhelming majority of the votes
cast on the question the Sun fails to
understand why the Amendment was
not carried. Plainly, if it did not
carry, there is really no use to at
tempt to amend the Constitution, un.
less at a special election called. for
that purpose only.

Some Of Mondell's Work

Washington dispatches bring a
statistical report of the work of the
Reclamation Service, from which we
gather that already $4,000 600 have
been spent in the building Of dams
and the construction of bitches look
ing toward the reclamation of the
arid land of the West. Also that it
is estimated that before this work is
completed hat $S9,431 900 will be re-
quired to accomplish the desired end.
These are vast figures and the mind
can hardly conceive of the end of this
great project, which is to bring such
great prosperity to the West. The
people of the West are also we'll
aware that Congressman F. w. Mon
dell was the leading spirit in the
House in securing the passage of the
Irrigation act, and that it is largely
to his untiring energy and influence
that this great work is now forging
a head to a grand finale.

SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER 1.-The story opens with the
shipwreck of the steamer IN which Miss
Genevieve Leslie. an American heiress.
Lord winthrope, an Englishman, and Tom
Blake, a brusque American, were passen-
gers. The three were tossed upon an I'M
Inhabited island and were the only ones
not drowned. Blake recovered from n
drunken stupor.
CHAPTER u.-Blake, Stunned on the
boat, because of his ~roughness. became
4 hero as preservers of the helpless pair;
The Englishman was suing for the hand
of Miss Leslie. Blake started TO swim
back to the ship to recover what was
left.
CHAPTER IIL.-Blake returned safely.
winthrope wasted his last match o n a
cigarette, for which he was scored by
Blake. Their first meal was a dead fish.
CHAPTER Iv.-The trio started a ten
mile hike for higher land. Thirst at
tackled them. Blake was compelled to
carry Miss Leslie on account of weari-
ness. He tainted Winthrope.
CHAPTER v.-The,' entered the jun
gle. That night was passed roosting high
IN a tree.
CHAPTER VI.-The next morning they
descended to the open again. All three
constructed hats to shield themselves
cocoanuts, the only procurable food. Miss
Leslie showed a liking for Blake. but de-

Coal Land Settlers.

Washington dispatches state that
Mr. Mondell is to introduce or has in
troduced a bill providing that entry
men of lands entered in good faith
prior to November IL, 1906, which
have since been classified as coal
lands who shall submit satisfactory
proof of compliance with the law I'M
der which the entries were made, may
receive patents to the lands entered
with reservation to the United States

preference right to the entrymen to
purchase the coal deposits at class.

in Wyoming it is estimated that
there are approximately one thousand
entries of land now classified as coal.
These entries were made in good faith
prior to the examination made by the
geological survey and the classical

trymen have made valuable improve.

As the tail grass did not grow here
within a mile OF the shore, there was
nothing to obstruct MIN. The creeping
plants which during the rainy season
had matted over the sandy soil were
now leafiess and withered by the heat
of the dry season Even the thorn

After the rundown he squatted on
his heels and spent some time trying
to bend his palm-leaf hat back into
shape. When he had placed this also
out in the sun he found himself be-
ginning to yawn. The dry, sultry air
had made him drowsy. A touch with
his bare foot showed him that the
sand beneath the thorn bush had al
ready absorbed the rain and offered a
dry surface. lac glanced around, drew
his club nearer and stretched himself

No Stock in Mr.. Chain.

Mr.. Chain, late candidate for presi-
dent of the United States on the pro-
hibition ticket, in a speech in Chicago
the other night, declared that both
the republican and democratic parties
were dead, that the anti-saloon league
was stark and stiff and that the pro-
hibition party would elect its candi-
date in 1912. 1t will be recalled that
the prohibs polled $4,000 votes at the
recent election. People in general will
take about as much stock in the pre-
diction of MI. Chain as in the per
ennial prediction of cranks that the
world is coming to an end.-Laramie

EASTER IN THE
 LOCAL CHURCHES

Both the 6:30 and the a. m. masses at Trinity church were largely attend ed yesterday morning, while at the choral ma ss at 10:30 o'clock every seat was taken. The rector preached a very suitable sermon for the day, be- ing listened to by an attentive audi ence. The members of the church with the gladsome spirit of the Eas- ter time loosened their purse strings and contributed over $1,20O. Trinity church is increasing in membership every day due to the energy of the rector, Rev. w. B. Stoskopf. The chancel and altar were beautifully dec orated with palms, lilies and cut flow CTS.
 There were special Easter services in the Catholic churches of the city yesterday, elaborate musical programs being carried out. The services at all the churches were well attended. At St. Mary's church the solemn festival of the Forty Hours devotion was be- gun at the 10:20 o'clock mass, contin- uing today and closing with a solemn high mass tomorrow morning.
