At Denver, July 5th to 9th-Rate
Of Fare and q Third, Round
Trip from Wyoming

The annual convention of the
National Educational Association
will occur in the Auditorium al
Denver, July fifth to ninth. This
convention each year is the great,
est educational event in our coun-
try. Last year the enrolment at

Denver is expecting 10000 to
1900 delegates in attendance.
Very attractive rates are grant
ed for side trips from Denver to
some of the most picturesque spots
in the United States. The rail
roads are planning to make this
an occasion for advertising the
beauties of the scenery along
their respective routes, and are,
therefor. offering especial induce
ments to visitors during the con-
vention.
1t is but seldom that the con
vention comes 80 near to Wyom-
ing. 1t is hoped that every
county and every town in
the state will be represented at
Denver. Every teacher and every
person interested in educational
work is urged to be present.
There will be a reception to the
Wyoming attendants given by
State Superintendent A. ID. Cook,
who is state director of the n. +.
A., at the Albany hotel on the sec
ond evening of the convention,
July 6. A suite of rooms has al
ready been engaged for that pur-
pose. To this all persons in at
tendance from Wyoming are in
vited.
Wyoming will be represented
by two of her educators on the
program. President Chas. o.
Merica, of the State University,
and Ira B. Fee, Deputy State
Superintendent, each are assigned
a place. Let all the Wyoming
delegates attend these branches of
the program and lend their sup
port to their representatives.

Sayings Of Little Tots.

There are few things i'll the
world more interesting than the
sayings of little folks. If they
could all be collected and made
into a book it's size would far ex-
coed Webster's Unabridged. Here
are two that occurred in Saratoga
recently:
A cute little two-year old dam
sci had see a toy woody dog, with
the stitches that held the ears on,
raveled. Her next door neighbor
had a little dog that was, for size
and looks, the exact picture of the
toy wolly dog. She got down on
her hands and knees nj day in
front of this dog. and looking it
earnestly in the face said: Little
dog, does you know that your ears
is sewed on?"
Another little tive-year-old dam
sci took much interest in garden
ing and was given some beans to
plant in her own little plot. When
the beans came up they were ON
top of the plant, as is the habit of
beans. When she saw them she
went crying to her mother with
Mamma, my gardens nc account;

best hotel man in the west and

Auto Road to the Park.

The Sun clips the following
from an article which recently ap-
peared in the Denver Times, and
AS it comes from Mayor Comstock,
formerly of this place, it will be
quite interesting.

establishment of an automobile
road from Denver to the Yellow
stone national park through the
Saratoga valley" said Earl ID.
Comstock of 307 McPhee build
ing. Carbon county Wyo., in
which Saratoga is situated, has
agreed to bond the county for
$4,000 to help defray expenses OF
building the road.
Lying along the valleys of the
North Platte river and it's tribu-
taries are the fertile valleys, most
of which are under irrigation. Up
to this time the valleys have been
used principally for raising hay
for feeding stock.
within the last year or two
farming on a larger scale has been
attempted and the yields are &C
large in several places that sec
tions of land are being broken up
with steam plows and put into
crops. In several instances quar-
ter sections have been paid for in
one years crops. Water supply il
plentiful for irrigation; all of the
farms along the valleys carry wat
er rights with them.
Mr.. Comstock has just returned
from Saratoga, and says values OIL

RESERVOIR
Ten Years Before Water Could
Possibly Get High Enough
to Overflow Banks.

F.. II Newell, chief of the re.
|clamation service, I. w. McCon-
mel, supervising engineer of the
Pathfinder project, and Frank
Anderson of the Geedis- Seerie
Stone Company, who built the
Pathfinder dam, returned We'd
nesday from Pathfinder, where
they went to make an inspection
of the dam. The trip was made
for the purpose of viewing the
work, which has been finished by
the contractors, and Messrs. New
ell and Mcdonnell, in conversa-
ton with a Tribune representative
said that it was undoubtedly the
best and most satisfactory piece of
work that had ever been done in
the United States under the
reclamation service.
In speaking of the scare articles
that have been published by sew
eral irresponsible newspapers and
industriously circulated by some
people, Mr. Newell said the dam
was absolutely safe, and nothing
less than an earthquake could
cause it to give way. He said
here we're no leaks or seepage OF
water through the dam-which is
Iomething unusual Cor 80 large a
piece of masonry. He said that
he highest food could not raise

BIZ outlets were all closed, aud as
he water is now sixty feet below
The surface on the south side of
Ethe river there cannot be a posi-
bility of the water going over the
bank. In fact it will be ten years
before the supply of water would
be sufficient to overflow the banks
There is at present 5000 cubic
eet of water going through the
wo small tunnels, the culvert and
he large diversion tunnel every
becond, and the reservoir is rails
ny very slowly from the melting
snow in the mountains aud the
heavy rains OF tue last two weeks.
Mr.. Newell left for Washington
bn Thursday morning and he said
hat it was his opinion that $500
boo would be available which he
would reccomend for appropria-
kion for the building of the dyke
bn the south side of the dam, and
his will be built within the next
lew years, although it is not nee
Essary that it be built for ten
ears.
The contractors are now thru
Nth their work and the machin-
Try is being moved away. The
ailipg on top of the dam, as well
considerable other work will be
one by the gate keeper, who is in
he employ of the government -

such theories were advanced, but Mrs. Christy with confidence undaunted in her home town, with courage and cheerfulness, and above all love for the art of music, labOred on, and by giving to the city advantages of instruction under the very best teachers she could secure, and at her own sacrifice finan- cially, the institution has had a re- markable growth-and today Phoenix and the territory has one of her great est educational factors, as we'll as one of the most beautiful edifices to be found in the west.

 Washington, August 3, 1908. Subject: Assistance of Indians in building bridge across Salt river at Phoenix.
 
 The Superintendent.
 Pima Indian School.
 Sacaton, Arizona.
 Sir:-The office is in receipt of your letter of July 10, 1908, report ing on the proposed construction of a bridge across the Salt river at the foot of Central avenue, Phoenix. Ari- zona, by the Phoenix & South Bridge company of that place, and the plan for the cooperation of the Indians in the work of construction.
 The estimated cost of the bridge is $75.0OO and as the Indians. l400 or more, will be materially benefited by this bridge if built you think that they should donate in work, or other wise, not less than $15,OOO towards its construction.
 Many of them have agreed in writing to give a certain number of days of work with teams for this purpose and some have agreed to give work without teams. upon con- dition that they are to be subsisted while doing work. You ask whether s5,O00 of Support of the Pima, 1909, can be used to feed the Indians while at work on the bridge, so that, when the plan for constructing it is settled, the agreement of the Indians to do- nate work can be approved, and re-

GOTO WAS CURIOUS RATHER THAN ANXIOUS
Concerning the Whereabouts of His Assent Son.

A Japanese. the Hon. Mir. GOto, past middle age and exceedingly polite call ed at the office of the sheriff yester- day to make inquiry whether his son Frank was in jail. Mir. Goto was cu rious rather than anxious. He had no reason to believe that Frank was in the prison but he had left home on Friday night after some misunderstanding and had not since been seen. A reference to the jail register showed that Frank was somewhere else and Mir. GotO was advised to visit the city jail He said he would do so but he had really little expectation of finding his wandering boy there.
 He rather expected 10 learn that he had been found dead somewhere and MT. Goto smiled pleasantly in cOntem- platiOn of such a discovery.
 In his opinion it would be a good joke on Frank if he should be found in jail but it would be a more humil- iating one for him if he should be found dead. In either case he would be convinced that his father had been wiser than he when he reconstructed with him on the course of life he was pursuing and he would know better next time
 When Mir. Goto was about to leave the office he bowed most politely and apoligized for the trouble to which he had put the jailer to look over the prison records.
