Board Of Trade Meeting.

A special meeting of the Board
of Trade was called for Monday
evening to discuss matters of i'm
portance concerning the Auto
Road to the National Park, and
also the question of a 4th of July
celebration or a Fish Day.
1t was decided not to have any
4tb of July celebrate IN, largely
out of Difference to the fact that
Rawlins was already making pre-
variations for a celebration there.
The matter of a Fish Day was
tbot to be better for Saratoga's
interest and that Saratoga people
would many of them wish to go
to Rawlins during the 4th and
that Rawlins people would desire
to come here Fish Day.
The Board of Trade extends an
invitation to the business men OF
Saratoga and all who are interest
ed. to meet at the town hall at
7.3O Friday evening to discuss
the matter of a Fish Day, or some
sort of a celebration for the com
ing fall.

DR.. MERICA'S
Is Greeted by Large and Inter.
ested Audience and Makes
Favorable Impression.

The Presbyterian Church was
| filled last Friday evening almost
to its full capacity by Saratoga
people to hear President Merica's
lecture on Learning aud Living"
The discourse occupied about an
hour, after which almost everyone
present availed themselves of an
informal reception to the Pres
ident to make his acquaintance.
DR.. Merica was listened to thru
out his discourse with marked at
teution. He impressed upon his
his hearers the fact that it was
not of so much importance what
a child learned as it was the effect
that knowledge made on his life
and his future relations with men.
The Doctor has Il most pleasing
address and not for n moment did
he grow tiresome or dull. After
the lecture proper was over he
spoke of the work of the Univer-
iitv and impressed everyone with
the fact that Wyoming was near
ly as well equipped to take care
of those who sought better educa-
tions than was afforded in IL
common and high schools as any
state in the Union. The erection
of the Normal School Building
would enable this state to fit her
young men and women to teach
the schools of Wyoming. He
spoke of having received no less
than IS applications for teachers
from different parts of the state,
but very few of which he was able
supply.
During Friday afternoon Pres
ident Merica visited the public
school and addressed the scholars
of the Grammer department and
the High School. His humorous
and kindly manner and talk cap
tivated the young people and
when he left off it is safe to say
that every student present was a
warm friend and admirer of DR..
Merica. They stood in great awe
of the President of the University
but they soon manifested great
esteem and friendship for DIR.
Merica.
DIR Merica's visit here was of
great interest to all and he has
certainly made the University
much stronger with all our people
No doubt whatever but every
young man and oma who
heard his address will, if they con-
template seeking n higher educa-
ton, find their way to the Uni
yersity of Wyoming, and that, too,
largely thru the impression made
upon them and the people gener-
ally by the pleasant address and
cordial of DIR. Merica.

At its morning session the board of
equalization passed the usual tax levy
of mills on the total value of all prop
erty in the state and then passed a
special levy of 1-15th mill as authorized
by seuate bill 122, introduced by Sena-
tor Cassidy at the last Legislature, to
pay the interest on the $780, 900 worth
of bonds issued to pay the cost of sup
pressing the insurrection in Cripple
Creek.
The board also adopted new stand
ard abstract of assessment devised by
State Auditor Roady Kenehan. which
will be used in future by the assessors
in all the counties of the state. The
new abstract specifies all kinds of prop
erty in minute detail, classifying land
for example, into improved fruit land,
irrigated land, grazing land, productive
coal land, non-productive coal land, OF
land, mineral land, mining claims, and
town and city lots. Other property is
specified in detail the same way, with
the idea of giving the auditor an abso-
lutely definite knowledge of the char
acter of the property assessed. Den
