sinner and is damned; if he donat-
es to foreign missions he does it

stingy. When he first comes into

him, but before he goes out of it
everybody wants to kick him, If
he dies young there was a great
future before him; if he lives to a

Secretary Board Of immigration

G. w. Williams, one of the we'll
known newspaper men OF the
state, and editor of the Rawlins
Republican, arrived at Cheyenne
today and at a meeting of the
state board of immigration tn is
afternoon, accepted the position
{ clerk of the board.
Mr. Williams is we'll known-in
Cheyenne, and Laramie county as
we'll as throughout the state as an
enterprising, able and progressive
citizen. He first entered the
journalistic arena as the editor of
the Guernsey Gazette, which he
developed into one of the most in
teresting little weeklies of the
county. He latter went to Raw
Inns as the editor of the Republi-
can and made an excellent record
there He was chosen chief en-
rolling and engrossing clerk of
the last legislature and with Mrs.
Williams made many friends here
during the session. Mr.. Williams
is well qualified in many ways for
the duties of the new position,
and his many friends here will be
glad to welcome him and his
charming wife to the capitol.
His as editor of the
Republican has not yet been Sc
lected.-Wyoming Tribune.

Grade South River Street

River street, near the ditch, is
in a very bad shape and should be
graded so that the water will
drain off into the river. AS it is
now the water from a heavy rain,
or a thaw in spring floods, the lots
on each side aud forms a lake of
water which stands until it sinks
into the ground. This is very un-
healthy, as well as a disagreeable
state of affairs and is an injustice
to the people of that part of town
At least one half the time that
part of the street is a mud hole
for more than a block. Less than
One hundred dollars would put
the street in excellent shape and
not only free the public from a
very unpleasant peice Of road, but
relieve the people of that part of
town from the danger of having
their properties flooded at any
time.

easily done. 1t happened about
4 o'clock Saturday morning. The
saloon had been closed about 2;3O
a. N. and the robbery was COM
mitted between that time and
morning.
The work was evidently done
by some one who had a key to the
premises, as they did not break in.
There were probably two-engaged
in the work, as they had helped
themselves to a drink and left the
glasses setting on the bar. They
overlooked au envelope in the safe
containing $50 belonging to DIR.
Green. Speculation is rife as to
who did the work, but seems to be
no clue.

Mrs. Lufkin. The other morn
ing, hearing a fuss among his
chickens he pulled on a pair of
trousers, grabbed a shot gun and

through a hole intended for a win

in his face. But George got him
He found that the animal had kill

A Correction

Last week the Sun announced
that DIR. Chas o. Merica, Presi.
dent of the. University of Wyom-
ing, would lecture here on Friday
the 25th inst. We should have
said Friday the 26th inst. DR..
Merica will lecture in Encamp-
ment on Thursday evening, March
18th, and the next evening at this
place His subject will be Learn
ing and Living"
DR.. Merica is one Of the best
lecturers in the West and we can
assure every one that they will be
we'll repaid if they will come out
to the Presbyterian church on
that occasion and hear him. 1t
will also be a good time for such
students as intend going away for
outside schooling to consult with
him. The University is now
splendidly equipped to handle
every branch of study hat any
young man or woman wish to per-
sue.

Ball Game Sunday

The boys nine challenged the
men ball players of the town to a
game last Sunday and it was ac-
cepted. They were to play Z inn
ings but al the end of that inning
the game stood a tie of II to II
and they played the eighth inn
ing to decided the game. The
men made four more runs and
the boys famed, out so the game
stood 16 to II in favor of the men.
Of course the boys say it was the
umpires fault. Kill him. There

Caught a Wolf

Frank Schilt came up from the
Savage ranch Friday. He reports
catching wolf Wednesday
that had been pretty numerous
down there the past winter. He
drove in a team of young horses
one of which was a Torrent colt
coming three years old this June.
He is a fine looking horse and
stands Is hands high. The first
of Torrents colts are just CON-
ing three this spring and all that
we have seen are as good a class
of horses as was ever raised in
any state in the Union.

The Tree Planting Question.

AS the spring approaches the
treeless condition of Saratoga's
streets cause one to reflect on the
question of tree planting. Tree
culture is not half so ardurous as
as II would think. Just a
couple of years care will place a
tree at a point where it will take
care of ITSELF and become a thing
OF beauty and a Joy forever.
One of our citizens, j. Fl. Mul.
lison, has advanced a startling
theory in regard to tree planting,
yet one which he is able to prove
to the satisfaction of any one.
That is to cut the tree off even
with the ground and stick the
stump in the ground. He says
that it will certainly make new
roots and thrive better than if
taken up roots and all and plant
ed. The old roots die and the tree
has to make new roots. Then
why not plant the tree in the
easiest way. Mr. Mullison has
some fine, thrifty trees in his yard
planted in this manner which any
one who cares to can examine and
thus convince themselves. He
says trees set out in this manner
will grow better than when plant
ed with the roots. There is no
doubt of the truth of Mr.. Multi
sons statement.

A County Fair

There is a great deal of talk
about having a County Fair at
Saratoga next fall. Saratoga has
secured the County Fair organic
alton and it is up to them to org
anize and arrange for a fair at this
place some time in September.
of course, at first thought, it
does not seem that we would have
a great deal to show, but when we
come to think it over we have a
great deal that we could show to
Immense advantage. We have
some of the finest and best thor
ough bred and pe1igreed horses
in the West. We have several
herds of fine pedigreed cattle that
grace any fair ground in the older
states. Then there are the line
COWS and hogs, to say nothing OF
the grain and vegetables and MIN
erals such as coal, copper and gold.
AS a matter of fact We do not
know ourselves just what We have,
and nothing would tend to edu-
cate the people of this valley and
make them value themselves at
their true worth as a gathering
together of what is produced with

18th OF Ireland

Mr.. and Mrs. e. A Kennaday
celebrate the 18th of Ireland every
year by giving "A dance at their
ranch on Cedar creek. Such a
dance was given there last night
and it was we'll patronized by the
entire neighborhood, as we'll as
many people from town. An ele-
giant and bountiful supper was
served at m dnieht and every one
present had d thourghly good
time. The Saratoga Brass Band
furnished the music.

Kill off the Worthless DOGS

Saratoga has a large and useless
crop of dogs that rush out and an
noy pedestrians and frishten pass
ing teams. They are of the mongrel
breed and spend their spare time
in worrying COWS and stray horses.
If these dogs have been tagged
they have a right to live, but their
owners should either keep them
within bounds or turn them over
to the tender mercies of Marshal
Taylor.

Educate the people to them thru
the assessors, who have SO far
a keen interest and will
am sure, do their utmost to put
the new law into effect.
AT present there is but one gen.
Fral rule to be followed by the as
Get all of the property
knd get,H at it's real value.
There are a great many probl-
inns to be worked out in getting
Fhe real valuation of a great many
kinds of taxable property, and it
will take time to work them out.
II believe that We shall make
huch progress this year, even
though we are starting late; that
|he people will be better pleased
Fhis fall than they have any idea
bf, and that our work will get cas-
|er each year.
My trip to Kansas was very
helpful in many respects. The
legislature of Wyoming passed
the new tax laws largely on &C.
of the success of similar
laws in Kansas, but they did bet
Ter, and the Kansas officials with
/ talked admitted that we
have provisions in our laws which
Kansas would like to have. Kan
sas, Tor instance is not satisfied
with the law for the appointment
of assessors, and l believe that
our law making them elective Of
is better. Kansas also has
b system Of township or district
assessors which is not as effective
as our system of deputies.
1T will BIZ n busy year for all
|of US, but We r only at the be-
of the task now and it isn't
possible to hazard any guesses as
TO what will be done"
