Hard Experience on Red Desert.

Fl. d. Blydenburgh, the pres.
ident of the Jack Greek Land 4
Cattle Company, who has been oul
on the Red Desert with his sheep
since the 18th of last January,
returned home Saturday. He
says they had strenuous times try
ing to get feed to the sheep that
were dying CT starvation. He es-
Inmates that fully 100000 pounds
of corn and $50 or 300 cars of hay
were shipped to Wamsutter to
feed the sheep. Some bands of
sheep had gotten in localities
where it was impossible to get
feed to them and he said it was
indeed pityful to See them die of
sheer starvation. Mr.. Blyden-
burgh estimates his own loss at
20 per cent, He thinks that the
general loss will not run below 20
per cent, while in some cases the
loss will be fully 60 per cent.

A Painful Accident.

Thursday evening the little son
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Anderson
who reside near Downington, met
with a very painful accident. The
family were being seated at the
supper table, when the little fellow
got hold of the teapot, spilling the
hot contents over himself, scald-
ing his arm, eide, and hand. The
child WAS brought with all speed
to Encampment where the injur-
les were given medical attention,
and while very painful to the little
sufferer will not prove serious.
The many friends of the parents
are glad with them that the acct
dent was not more serious and
earnestly hope for the speedy re-
covery of their son.-Encampment

Undertaken h. Rasmussen re-
ceived a telegram from Mrs. F. j.
Buckingham at San Jose, Califor-
mia, Thursday morning announc-
ing the death of her daughter,
Miss Florence.
Miss Buckingham, accompanied
by her mother and sister, Miss

matte conditions would prove ben
efcial aud up to a few days ago it
was thought by many that she was
on the road to recovery.
Miss Buckingham was one OF
Rawlins' most popular young lad
les and was held in high esteem
by all. As an elocutionist Miss
Buckingham had few equals and
gained a wide reputation through
out the country as a master In thu
art.
Up to the present writing few
particulars can be learned in re-
gard to the funeral other than the
fact of the family's departure from
Oakland for this city tonight.
The sad news of Miss Bucking.
hams death came as Il great SHOCK
to her many friends in Rawlins.-

Street Improvement.

The town council determined,
at it's last meeting, to grade River
street, from Hickory avenue, south
to the top of Crawford hill, This
part of that street has never had
attention aud the rains and melt
ing snow has played havoc with
the road and flooded not only the
street, but the property on each
side until it was very unpleasant
to live in that neighborhood. The
work OF grading this street was
begun yesterday morning and the
street will be put in good shape

Eighth Grade Advanced.

Miss Eva l.. Andrews, the
teacher in the Grammar room in
our public school had some very
pleasant exercises in her room at
the school building at 3 o'clock
Friday afternoon. The occasion
was the delivery of certificates to
the members of the Sth grade,
who had finished their studies and
are now entitled to enter the
High School. The exercises con-
sisted of recitations by the mem
bers of the 9Th grade, interspersed
with music, Mrs. F.. A. Carl
eton presiding at the organ. The
class recited kudyard Kipling's

and Harold A. Il. Carleton. Col
Crawford made IA short address

School Meeting.

A very large and interested
number of patrons of the Saratoga
public school assembled at the
school building Monday at 2
O'Clock, for the purpose of trans
acting the business of the annual
meeting. All members of the
school board were present, Mr..
Devine in the chair.
The first business in order was
the report of J. F. Crawford, the
treasurer of the district which
showed that after paying all the
expenses of the school for the past
year there remained unpaid war
rants on hand in the sun of
S426 80. The report Of the audit
ing committee, consisting of D.. E.
Winsor, G. G. Hickok, and Geo.
w. Broadhurst, on the t%reasurer's
books WAS read and ordered filed
with the report of the treasurer.
The trustees then presented the
question of heating the building
to the meeting for discussion.
After celebrating the matter
the meeting passed a resolutions
a%uthorizig the board to install an
up-to-date hot water heating plant
and Il first class ventilation system
limiting them in expenditure to
the sum of $500. 1t was thot
best to excavate a room under the
building, large enough to contain
the plant and the necessary fuel.
There was a strong desire to
authorize the board to put in a
drilled we'll, a wind mill and a
compression tank for the use of
building but it was feared that
the expense might go beyond
81, 800. If the board find that
they can do so they will no doubt
put in the we'll, wind mill, etc.
The question of a special tax
coming up for consideration it
was found that outside of the
money that was reasonably sure
of coming in, something like
$3.50, that there would be need
ed about $4,400. A motion was
made that a special tax of $1,000
be raised, which was carried with
out Il dissenting vote.
The chair then announced that
the next business in order was the
election of one trustee for three
years The name of earnest Pear
son was placed in nomination.
There being no further nomina-
tions the motion was made and
carried that the secretary cast the
vote of the meeting for Mr.. Pear
son.
A resolution, thanking Miss
Emma Sensintaffar for her val
liable work as principal, and one
thanking Miss Andrews, Miss Mil
Ter and Miss Hitch for very etici-
ent services was passed. Also a
vote thanks to the Board of Trus-
tees for their able management for
the past year. The meeting then
adjourned.
This meeting vas one of the
most interesting that has been
held for years and was notable for
the fact that the very best people
ia the district were present and
TODD an active part in the proceed
ings. The trustees are highly
gratifed at the splendid endorse
ment the meeting gave their work
and for the manner in which it
RESPONDED to their call for money
with which to carry on the busl-
ness of the district and with
which to make repairs and I'M
provements.

The Enlarged Homestead Law,

Mr.. Mondell, representative il
congress from Wyoming and au.
thor of the law authorizing a mar
to locate as a homestead 800, in.
stead of 100 acres of arid land
delivered a pleasing address al
the weekly luncheon of the ReaI
Estate exchange yesterday; and in
introducing him Governor Shat.
roth expressed the opinion tha,
the enactment of this law will re-
suit in the settlement of all that
part Of the state which lies be-
tween the mountains and the east
ern boundary.
Concerning the correctness of
this prediction there is no room
for dispute; and thus II may per-
ceive the beneficial character of
the new law, and the debt of graf
itude which Colorado, in common
with all the arid states is under to
Mr.. Mondell.
A resident for many years of
one of the arid states, Mr.. Mon
dell has appreciated the difficult
ties which a homestpader encount-
ers in trying to establish a home
upon land which, lying within the
arid region, at the same time
If not susceptible of reclamation
by irrigation. To meet this situa-
tion he conceived the idea that
the condition of such a home
steader would be greatly improved
by authorizing him to include
more than 100 acres in his claim,
thereby enabling him to combine
stock growing with tillage of the
soil. Out of this grew the intro
duction of the bill to increase the
size of arid homesteads to 800
acres and owing to the energy of
Mr.. Mondeii and the high esteem
in which he is held by the men,
beers of congress, the measure be-
came a law at the late session.
Secretary Ballinger of the de-
partment of the Interior has just
recently set aside certain parts OF
the public domain N the arid
states to which the law is appli-
cable, thus authorizing the loca-
ton of enlarged homesteads on
the areas designated. The differ
ent land offices will be supplied
within a few days with the requis-
lite maps and other data for the
guidance of locators, and 80 entry
of claims of this kind may be be-
gun at once. 1t should result in
the speedy entry of all the non
irrigable land within Colorado and
thus secure the establishment of a
large number of new homesteaders
to the benefit and improvement of
the state IN every way.-Denver
Republican.

National Forest improvements.

DIX thousand uOllars
will be spent during the tisca
year, 1908 1909, for the. construc.
ton of roads, trails telephone
lines and other permanent i'm
provements on the National For.
ests Congress has appropriated
the same amount for this purpose
during the fiscal year of 1909,
1910.
In order that the forest rangers
may cover the large area contained
in the district, it is very necessary
that a system of trails be con-
structed along routes that give the
best control of the area to be pa
trolled. In many districts tele-
phone lines have been built be-
tween the Supervisors Office and
the rangers headquarters. and to
prominent peaks which are used
for lookout stations to observe
fires.
To fight forest fires effectively
it is of the utmost Importance that
a force of men be rushed to the
fire as soon as possible, as these
fires can be put out if taken when
they are small, where it would be
almost impossible to check them
after they had spread over a large
area. For this reason the tele-
phone lines and trail systems are
of vital Importance and have play
ed no small part in the patrol sys-
tenn which has resulted in the
remarkably small area burned
over since the Forests have been
under Government supervision.
Among other necessary improv-
ments provided for, the Service
takes up the matter of the better
ment of range conditions. First,
by the construction of drift fences
which are for the purpose of keep
ing stock within the area allotted
to them and to save the time of
the herders. Second by the i'm
proving of springs and watering
places. In many sections Of the
west large areas have been of no
value on account of the lack of
value during a large portion of
the year. By the fencing and
piping of the springs and provid-
ing adequate storage, the Service
has been able to conserve supply
of water which enables these
ranges to be used turnout the sea-
son. Third, by the fencing of poi
sonous areas. In certain sections
of Colorado there is a poisonous
larkspur which, during the spring
season, will poison stock that
Craze on it. These places are be-
ing fenced and the stock kept
away from the areas until the poi
sonous season is over, when they
are opened for grazing. Fourth,
by the fencing of bog or mire
holes. AS fast as possible, places
where the loss of stock from mir
ing in bog holes has been heavy
are being fenced 20 that the cattle
cannot get into them.
All of the National Forests are
divided into districts which are
under the direct supervision of
a forest ranger, who looks after
the timber cutting and grazing
matters and patrols his district to
detect and prevent forest fires. As
the National Forests are located
in mountainous and timbered
country and have but few settle
ments within their boundaries, it
is necessary to provide these ran
gers with quarters convenient to
the districts over which they have
charge. These quarters consist of
a small house, a stable for his sad
die horses, a fence enclosing a pas
ture for his stock, and ~occassionly
the fencing of a small garden
patch and a small piece of hay
land to provide fodder for the
stock during winter.

THREE CLAIMS NEAR LITTLE
CHIEF PASS TO NEW OWNERS

PRESCOTT, June GA group Of
three claims formerly owned by j. c.
Rullard well known as the owner OF
the famous Bullard mine in the Har-
cuvar range has been sold to w. E.
Thomas and a partner, Of Phoenix,
Bullard still retaining an interest in
the property.
These claims lie near the Little CHIEF
mine and a great deal of work has
been done on them but the new own
ers do not consider that the work has
been done to obtain the best result for
the amount of money expended. All
the work up to the present time has
heen done on the mountain top and
the present company proposes to run
a tunnel into the side of the hill to tap
the ore vein at about 500 feet down,
where it dips almost to the surface,
and it is predicted that good ore
hodv will be found at about fifty feet,
which will mean a mine with practi-
oaIlv no development to speak of.
THE ore taken from the shaft at the
ton of the mountain was all high grade
and everything indicates that there is
a vast body of ore only waiting to be
uncovered.
one of the claims has 1OO-foot por-
rhvrv vein carrying copper values and
on the other side of the hill there is
A0-foot diorite dixie which also has
fine copper groupings.

old Allison Ranch Mine

GRASS VALLEY, June Sit is con-
sidered within the realms of possibility
that the old Allison Ranch mine will be
reopened and once more made the scene
of great activity. Engineer Wilson Of
Goldfield has visited the property and
is deeply interested in what he has
learned about 1t. He had this mine in
view at the time of the death of the
late George Twitchell, who first called
his attention to it.
