Winthrop Condict, Sr., was down
from his big cattle ranch on Brush
creek Tuesday. He says that While
they have had a little harder winter
OH that creek than usual stock Will
come thru in good shape. They al
ways make ample preparation for
feeding stock in that locality, conse-
o%uently losses are generally light.
Mr.. Condict spoke of the Tax Com
mission law, recently passed by the
Legislature, in the highest terms he
said: ~ believe that if they will as
sess all property at its true value that
it will lower all of our taxes. Ii
seems to me the only just way OF get
ting at an equal taxation for every
one. Now if the assessor Will DO MS
duty in every instance we may expect
there will be a great difference. Per-
hans we shall not see so much diner
this year but if the law is carried
out we may expect that The year lslo

That National Park Auto Road.

Judge Blood, president of the
Board of Trade and p. S. Love-
Joy, the committee appointed to
make a map of the proposed route
of the auto road, inform the Sun
that they are making good prog
ress. A map of the state, showing
route and distances from point to
point, is being prepared and of
this several copies have been spok-
en- for. The Denver Chamber of
Commerce and Strrby- Ester
brook d Co., of Denver, have writ
ten for a copy each. The other
prominent towns on the route,
such as Cheyenne, Laramie, and
Rawlins, favor the route via Sara
toga, as hat will permit the use
of the magnificent iron bridge
across the North Platte river at
this place free of charge and save
the cost of constructing one at
any other point. 1t is estimated
that a road via Saratoga will cost
from $4,000 to S35, 900 less than
by any other route.
