That School Library.

Since the appearance of last
weeks Sun, in which the women
of the town were urged to collect
books, papers, and magazines for
the School Library, we have
heard a number of people speak
of the necessity of the enterprise,
expressing their Willingness to
contribute magazines toward such
a worthy object. 1t only remains
now for the women to form a club
and go about the work systemat-
ically and they will meet with a
hearty response from every house.
Do not let the matter grow cold
before some steps have been taken
looking to the permanent forma-
ton of the School Library.

Arbor Day Proclamation

The Year is repeating the earth
old story We are coming once
more to its most charming chapt-
err. The balmy air, the echoing
mountains, the barren desert
flushing with renewed promise of
ample sustenance, the resurrec-
ton of the lea1ess vine, the naked
tree budding forth into new life
and beauty, all proclaim the mir
aculous change.
"To most men only the cessa-
ton of the miracle would be mir
aculous, and the exercise of Gods
power seems less wonderful than
its withdrawal would be-"
By the planting of trees about
the home and school and along
the ditch and lonely wayside, all
the people of Wyoming should
give concrete expression of their
gratitude for the blessings of
spring. Concerted efforts will De
amply rewarded and every home,
school and hamlet will be morally,
intellectually aud economically
benefited thereby.
Now therefore, following the
law and custom of our State, |
hereby proclaim Friday, April the
thirtieth. 1909, as
ARBOR DAY
and earnestly recommend the
broad, practical and earnest OBJ
servance of tree planting day by
old and young, making of it a fact
and not a mere form.

l74O ACRE
LAND DEAL
Banker johnson Purchases the
Large Kuykendall Ranch on
North Platte River.

Lon A. futile, the cashier OF
the First National Bank of this
place. has been engaged for some
time ON a land deal which he was
able to close up a few days ago
the purchase of the large Kuvken-
dali home ranch, which lies most
ly in the valley OF the North
Platte river, with an arm RUNNING
up Spring creek. The purchase
was made by w. f. Johnston. a
banker and capitalist, residing at
Cedar Rapids, la. Mr.. futile.
himself, owns a quarter interest
in the purchase which embraces
l74O acres of the best land in the
valley. The price paid is private
but was a tidy sum.
The Kuykendalls own another
very large ranch some eight or ten
miles down the river, known as
the "Pick Ranch" which contains
24OO acres, a considerable share of
which is pasture land, though
comprising some of the best agri-
cultural land in the west.
1t is the intention of Mr.. John.
ston and his business associates to
cut the Kuykendall ranch up into
holdings to suit purchasers and
dispose of it, To that end they
are this year renting the land with
the provision that it be put to
different kinds of crops, in order
that prospective settlers may see
what the land will produce, and
how abundantly it may be made
to yield. Different parts of the
land will be seeded to grain, veg
etables and grasses. Oats, barley,
potatoes and and alfalfa are to be
given considerable scope. limo
thy and alsack, mixed, are to be
sown. This mixture of grasses is
said to be very profitable. Buyers
will be taken to view these crops
and it is believed that this will be
the means of bringing many good
substantial farmers to this valley,
who will be able to find homes
close to Saratoga.
Judging from limitations made
by Mr.. Tuttle the Kuykyndall
deal is just a STARTER" in land
buying in this valley. Other bar
gains will be secured as offered,
all lands SO purchased to be again
parceled up and sold to small men
or in any sized ranches desired.
1t certainly means the bringing
into the country a very desirable
class of settlers, and men who
will be quick to See and take
advantage of the richness of the
soil and the opportunity to supply
a home market with the grain and
vegetables that We are o com-
PEELED to send abroad for.
Mr.. Johnston and Mr.. Tuttle
are old school mates and intimate
friends for years.

William Ell. Caldwell Was n of
the pioneers of the Saratoga val

Tor the Overland Stage Company
In the sixties, but little can be
learned at this writing of his NOV
ments up to 1870, at which time
he was engaged with William
brauer IN mining in the
Hahns Peak country. In 1871 he
came to this valley in company
with William Brauer and they
wintered at the mouth of Lake
creek. Then in company with E.
w. Bennett, Frank Earnest, VIM.
brauer and others he spent some
time mining in the Seminole
mountains. When Coe & Carter

Brush Greek, he and Mr.. Brauer
built H small cabin on Lake creek
very near where the house of Kels
p, Nickel nov stands. Brauer
and he dissolved partnership
shortly afterward and Brauer built
a cabin on Lake creek where G..
M. Scrimner now lives, and Mr..
Caldwell entered the land
where the Hot Springs bath house
is now located. This was prob
ably in 1876. Mr.. Caldwell owned
the land and operated a bath house
there for many years. He and M
E. Hooker built a large three-story
frame hotel on the grounds in
1882, which was destroyed.
Deceased was about II or Y
years or age. He leaves a wife and
step-son, a brother, and a sister to
mourn his loss. For many years
he was one of the foremost citiz.

pioneers of the early days of Wyo-
ming who will regret to learn of
his departure.

An Old.time Stage Driver.

Jack Netf, an old-time stage
driver in the west, came in from
the Salmon river country the first
or the week and will remain here
for a month or six weeks. Jack
drove stage in this country for
many years. He was in Tonopah
during the flush times and drove
stage between that point and Gold
field and then between Tonapah
and Manhattan. The distance be-
tween these two points was so
miles and it was made in 7 hours
with four teams. Wages were
good and Jack drew So a day for
two years and ten months, when
the railroad came in and put the
stage business out of commission.
Mr.. Neff began driving stage in
Nebraska when IA years of age.
and has done little else since then.
He was n of the stage drivers
from Cheyenne to Deadwood dur
ing the flush times of that camp.
and was in many Indian fights
and Stage holdus, but always came
out unscaihtd. Mr.. Neff says the
Indians had a very wholesome re-
spect for Uncle Sam and would
never bother anything about the
stage except tobacco. They felt
that the mail, belonging to Uncle
Sam, was dangerous property and
would better be left alone. They
had no such respect for freight
trains however and would corral
them anywhere on the line and
fight them to a finish. Jack says
that ON such occasions the Indians
would fighting as soon as
they saw the stage coming and
wait until the stage had passed be-
fore they would again begin hos
tilities.
The stock in Use on that line
was the property of Luke Voor-
hees, of Cheyenne and was all
branded l. V. An old chief asked
Jack to whom the stool belonged
and Jack said: "Uncle Sam, of
course; Don't you see the U S on
the coach?" "Well" the chief re-
piled "Uncle Sam better put his
brand on those horses, or he might
lose them" The stage company
took the hint and got permission
from the Government to put U S
below the l. V and from that on
their stock was safe from Indian
depreciation.
After the stage between Sidney
and Deadwood was discontinued"
said Mr.. Netf Il drove between
Deadwood and Bismark, until the
the railroad came in from that dir
ection. On my last trip out from
Deadwood the citizens decorated
the Big Concord coach and the
six horses with the Stars and
Stripes and, accompanied by three
bands, [ was escorted out of town.
The team was driven to Speartish
and turned Out to pasture, never
to wear another collar while they
lived.
1t is no exaggeration to say that
Jack Neff is one of the best, if not
the best, stage driver in the west.
He has a wonderful faculty for
handling a six-horse team and
seems to almost control them by
the power of thought. Sunset
Magazine has printed numerous
cuts of Jack and his six-horse
team and it has not hesitated to
award him the honor Of being the
best stage driver in the West.
Mr.. Neff is a little under the aver
age size, weighing perhaps $50
pounds, but he is, and always WAS,
a natural horseman. Such won.

man, for no amount of training or
! education would make any man
