neighborhood who were too small to
walk or ride to the big modern public
schools. Between thirty-five and fifty
five OF the little ones have been crowd
ed into the building. Just as in the
little country schoolhouses, Public
School 121. as the little school is
called, has one teacher. The daily
program Is much the same as in the
real country schools, except that the
courses Of study are laid down by the
city's board OF education and the work
is supervised by District Superintend-
ent James J. McCabe. The teacher and
principal OF the little schoolhouse Is
Mrs. Kate Fyfe.
Many OF the young people Of the
neighborhood received their public
school training in the little building.
and 1t has produced some of the teach
ers who are now employed in the city
schools. While 1t is likely that the
little building will be done away with
a plan is now on foot that may give 1t
a new lease of life. The department
OF education has another school about
n half mile away from the little school,
and this Is being enlarged by the ad
ditions of portable houses. 1t may
still be found advisable. however. TO
keep the little school in existence for
the benefit of the smallest children.
In this school district the schools
present the greatest contrast to be
found anywhere in the city. Not far
away from the old schoolhouse stands
Public School 149. in the Brownsville
section. This school has more than
5000 pupils. and is the largest in
Brooklyn. As In the case of most old
structures, the little school has Its
ghosts. but they have not troubled the
school authorities. AS Mr.. McCabe
said recently:
I'VE use the schoolhouse only in the
day time, and in the night time the
ghosts can haunt it as much as they
please"

40 PER CENT.
COPPER R
Open up 5 feet Of Glance in the
Elkhorn in lower Level next
to Main Ore Body

w. w. Petty, Who was in from
Elk Mountain this week, says the
Elkhorn people have discovered
another rich body of of copper ore
in the bottom of the lower level.
The work had barely cut the edge
of this rich deposit. They con-
cluded they would investigate to
see what it amounted to. A drift
ten feet in length uncovered a
body of copper glance that is over
five feet in thickness and will run
40 per cent copper. This new ore
body is about fifteen feet from the
old vein, which our readers will
remember is IA feet thick and has
an almost solid body of copper
glance seven feet in thickness.
Ray Campbell, the secretary of
the company, who is now in Okla
homa, is expected out here short
ly. He will be accompanied by
two or three monied men who pro-
pose, if the Elkhorn property
shows up as represented, to put
up money for the development of
the property in first class shape.
Mr.. Petty has not reported this
last find of ore, but is holding it
as a surprise for the men when
they arrive. 1t Is believed that
with the showing made in the
main vein, together with this new
ore body uncovered in the lower
drift, that there will be no doubt
about the money being immed-
lately Forthcoming to develop the
Elkhorn property

Obituary.

Mrs. Frances A. McKillip, wife
of M. b. McKillip of this place,
died at her home at 1880 4. N.
Friday, the 18th inst, of elapy-
emia. The funeral was conducted
at the house at l o'clock Saturday
afternoon by Father L. j. Barrett
of Rock Springs, who was called
here to preform the last sad rites.
The house was crowded to it's ut
most capacity by sympathizing
friends and neighbors who had as
sembled to do honor to the deceas-
ed. The remains were inferred in
the city cemetery.
Deceased was born at Brookfeld
Ills, April &c, 1865 and in 1870
moved to Falls City, Nebr., where
she married Mr.. McKillip on the
23rd of Oct, 1889. Mr.. McKillip
came to Saratoga in December,
1889, and his wife followed him
in the year 1890, residing at this
place ever since. She was a most
aimable and and pleasant character
and a kind and helpful friend
and ~neighbor. She took an active
part in society and in church
work and was esteemed a good
and true woman by all who knew
her.

Taxation and Reven ue Laws.

Tax Commissioner, Hon. W. A
Richards has issued a small PAM
phlet which contains the taxation
and revenue laws of the state and
also the duties of the county asses
sors. 1t is a neat and compre-
hensive little volume and
if you are interested in the
matter to the extent that
you would like to read up on the
matter, drop a card to Mr.. Rich
ards and he will mail you one.
The new laws are exciting a
great deal of interest and much
favorable comment is heard con-
corning the result of its operation.
There is also much comment be-
ing made among stockmen of the
valuation placed on horses, cattle,
and sheep. The stockmen all
think the valuation too high. But
if every man will be honest enough
to list every hoof of stock he has
and if svery property holder will
be concientious enough to list his
property at its worth, the people
of Wyoming will see a great
change in the amount of taxes
they will have to pay. Some of
them will have to pay more than
they ever did before and some
notably the ones who are the
least able to pay will pay much
less. The entire aim of the tax
law is to place the burden of tax
alton of the state on the shoulders
of those who own the Dulk of the
property and should naturally pay
the bulk of the lakes.

A Lucky Deal.

Roadmaster Boardman of the
5. d E.. Ry., told us this week OF
a deal that he had made that reads
almost like a romance.
some time ago in Denver, where
Mr. Boaadman owns considerable
property, he sold one piece fol
Sz,ooO toa young man; $1,000
cash down and the other thousand
to be paid at the end of a year
AT the end of that time the young
man was only able to pay $3.50
cash and persuaded Boardman to
take $3.50 of National Mining
stock for thirty days as additional
security for the remainder of the
payment. At the end of that
time he was still short, so Mr..
Boardman took the stock, 1000
shares in all for the balance of the
payment and gave a deed to the
property, While up at Eucamp-
ment about three weeks ago Mr..
Boardman instructed one of of his
men to bring him one of the Den
Yer papers to read that evening.
AS he glanced through the
paper his eye fell on the stock
quotation and mech to his sur
prise National was quoted at So
and SO was asked. He was so as
tonished that he read it several
times and then he went and got
his glasses and even then not be-
ing sure he called one of his men
to look at the figures to see if it
could be 50. The next morning
he telegraphed his wife in Denver
to sell 1000 shares, which she did,
receiving $4,000 in gold, retain
ing the other 1000 shares, which
are rapidly increasing In value.
But to finish the story off Mr..
Boardman told us of an Irish
man that he secured a position for
around the freight depot at Grip
pie Greek, at the time he al road
master for the Colorado division
on the Union Pacific. One pay
day this Irishman got on a partial
skate ami some mining men got
him up town and unloaded 1000
shores of National stock on, him
practically without his knowledge,
at 10 cents per share, but he kept
his stock and the other day trans
ferred it into $4,000 cold cash.

A Hustlins Hen.

Mrs. Q. NJ. Scribner says
she has a hen that laid three eggs
in As hours. The hen laid an egg
at the regular time mi day. The
next morning she laid early in the
morning and late that evening she
deposited another egg to the cred
it side of the ledger, making three
eggs in two days. OF course this
is nothing for a Saratoga hen,
They do these things right along
but it hardly ever gets into the
paper.

Another Adjustment Needed.

Announcement is made that the
Union Pacific has given Cheyenne
the same passenger rate that Den
yer has had. Strange as it may
seem, this adjustment makes il
possible for a Laramie citizen, OIL
other citizen of Wyoming to the
west of this city to select one OF
three rates from his home town to
Omaha. If the Laramie passen-
ger desires to buy a through tick
ct TO Omaha he must pay SIG 65,
a saving over the old rate of 60c.
Il he prefers to buy a local ticket
to Cheyenne and then buy through
to Omaha he may do so for $l4 35,
a saving over the through rate
from Laramie direct to Omaha of
$3.50. Again, if he feels excess
sively poor he may buy a ticket to
Sneed, Nebr., for $500, and then
another ticket to Omaha for $40,
the combination rate being exact
ly the same as the through rate
from Cheyenne or Denver to
Omaha. y
1t is not hard to say which rate
the man or woman who is wise
and who is able to travel in a suit
case will choose. And again it is
not hard to say which the passen-
ger will choose who finds that bag
gage arguments cannot be conven-
iently made at Sneed-the first
jump will be to Cheyenne, where
there is plenty Of time to re-check
baggage on to Omaha, the saving
being $3.50 over the through rate.
There may be some good sane
reason for this arrangement, but
to the travelling public it seems
positively neutrality-suspicious.
ly to that travelling public that is
compelled to be subjected to the
annoyance of making all sorts of
combinations in order to secure
the same rates rs the people who
are travelling or the same train
and possibly in the same seats.
The Union Pacific should make
one more ad justment. 1t should
put into effect a passenger tariff
that will give all the people along
its line in Wyoming the benefit of
the two-cent fare in Nebraska.
There should be no through rate
higher than a combination Of To-
cal rates.-Laramie Republican.

Dickerson in the Tolls Again.

Pete Dickerson, the cowboy, who
was acquitted a few months ago of
the charge of rape in the district
court here, is this morning in the
county Jail on a charge of perjury
alleged to have been committed
by Dickerson while he was on the
stand in his own defence.
Dickerson was arrested at Elko,
New, a few days ago by Deputy
Sheriff Carol who had been alb
sent from the city a week, the
sheriff's Office not giving out any
intimation as to his whereabouts.
He arrived in the city about mid
night last night having Dickerson
in custody, and the arrest has
caused a good deal of surprise in
this city, where it was supposed
Dickerson had left the country for
good.
The prosecuting witness against
Dickerson was Mrs. Dora CONFESS,
whose testimony related in detail
the assault which it was charged
Dickerson had made upon her.
Under the circumstances her Je,ti.
mony could not be corrobolated
and the trying and painful ordeal
which she underwent on the stand
stirred much sympathy on her be-
half.
For Dickerson there were a mum.
Der of witnesses who testified tc
having met him in Cheyenne al
the time that the assault was alleg-
ed to have been committed, anC
on this alibi Dickerson was acquit-
ted. He took the stand himself
during the trial and denied all the
charges made against him anc
gave testimony which corroborat
ed that of other witnesses.
Since the trial the friends o.
Mrs. CONFESS have not let the mat
ter rest and Sheriff Hughes anc
County Attorney Rigdon hays
carefully gone over the evidence
given by Dickerson and the otheI
witnesses, seeking a weak spo
through which her good name
might be vindicated. The officer

BATTLESHIP
WYOMING
To Cost $40. 600. 600 Garry 1000
Men and Officers-Bieeer
than Dreadnoushts

Washington ID. G. March "a
Senator Warren of Wyoming is
feeling particularly well satisfied
over the successful elimination of
the efforts which he has been
making for over twelve years to
have a strictly first class battle
ship of the United States named
after the state of Wyoming.
Senator Warren's efforts have
extended over the entire admins
tration of President Roosevelt
and into that of President McKin-
ley. The Senator might have
secured the name, Wyoming, earl
Ter, as for instance, for one of the
battleships authorised last year,
but, knowing that the ships to
follow this year would exceed
them in size and effectiveness, he
preferred to wait, and now has
the pleasure and distinction of
securing the name, Wyoming, for
not only one of the largest battle
ships in the United States navy,
but the largest in the world.
The official notice that the
name, "Wyoming," is to be con-
ferred upon one of the two bat
tleships recently authorized by
congress-, is as follows:
"Navy Department, Washington,
March II, 1908
My Dear Senator Warren:-I
take pleasure in informing you
that / have today, by authority of
the president, issued an order
comforting the name Wyoming
upon one of the two battleships
recently authorised by congress.
Faithfully yours,
(Signed)
GEORGE Won L. MEYER,
Secretary of the Navy"
Finishing plans for the new
Wyoming are being prepared in
the navy department., and will be
completed SO that the bids for
construction will be called for on
June l of the present year, and
the contract will be let about
August l.
The cost of the new ship will be
$4,000 900, and it is expected the
vessel will go into commission
during the summer of 1912, and
will be christened long before
that time.
The complement of officers and
men will exceed 1000 in number
which is ten per cent. greater
than any battleship in the world.
The length of the Wyoming
will be 554 feet; the breadth of
beam % feet two inches; draft, %
feet six inches; and she will have
a displacement of $4,000 tons.
The relative sizes of the Wyo-
ming aud the famous Dread
naught, the largest war ship of the
British navy, may be Seen at a
glance by comparing the figures
above given with those showing
the dimensions of the Dread
naught. Its length is $40 feet;
breadth of beam, 90 feet two in
ches; draft, 26 feet II inches; dis
placement 10000 tons; and its
complement of officers and men
800.
The Wyoming will carry twelve
tweive-inch guns mounted In tur-
rets on the center liue of the ves-
sci, while the Dreadnaught CARRIES
twelve-inch guns, with turrets on
alternate sides; the arrangements
Of the Wyoming giving a capacity
for broadside ire fifty per cent
greater than the Dreadnaught.
The secondary battery OF the
Wyoming has not been deter
mined upon, but it will be IL
keeping with the twelve-inch gun
battery, and will exceed, in etfee'
t;vsness. by about the same pei
