state of Wyoming CharRes that Big
Horn Dam Exceeds Specifi-
cations of Grant.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., July N.-(special)-
The state of Wyoming, through Attorney
General Mullen, has brought suit against
the Big Horn Power company and Asmus
Boysen, asking for the removal of that
portion of their dam in the Big Horn can
yon which it is alleged exceeds the speci-
fications OF the permit granted by the state
engineer. 1t is charged that the power
company and Mr.. Boysen erected a bridge
and buttresses on top of the thirty-five-
foot dam, whereas the specifications and
permit provide that the structure shall not
exceed thirty-five feet in height. The Bur
lington railway, which is building through
the canyon, is the complaining witness, al
leging that the construction Of this dam
above the specified height blocks the roads
right-of-way for a distance Of three miles
in the canyon. An injunction will be
sought restraining the power company from
closing the gate at the dam and from

romance beginning at one Of the Omaha
hospitals came to a happy ending. Some
time ago Miss Fannie Gee OF this place,

MORE COAL AT BLOOMFIELD
Vein seven Feet Thick stuck BY
Borers Who are Looking
for OIL.

BLOOMFIELD. Nsb., July s~o.-(special
Teleerem.)-Yesterdsy afternoon a second
vein of coal measuring seven feet thick
was struck by the drillers Of the Bloom
field Gas and OIL company.
After leaving the first vein, which was
six feet thick, the drill passed through
about five feet of rock, then striking the
second stratum OF coal. After leaving this
stratum the drill passed through eight feet
of rock and fire clay. when the third vein
Of coal was struck. This third vein seems
to be of a better quality han the first
two. but as they are still drilling in coal
the thickness cannot be determined until
they have passed through it. The stats
geological department was wired today to
send ar expert chemist here at once to
analyze the specimens OF the three strata,
Although these three veins are sufficient
to mine the company will not stop drilling
until a depth OF 1900 feet or more is
reached for the purpose Of striking oil.

Plan TO Deceive Voters.
In attempting to deceive the voters into
voting for democratic candidates for su-
preme Judge by pretending to advocate a
nonpartisan judiciary the leaders of the
democratic party have another idea in
mind Of some Importance.
This year the democratic party label goes
on the ballot first, occnyinE the place held
30 long by the republican party. Should
the republican candidates for supreme
judge be elected this fall, the republican
party candidates would appear on the
ballot first in the next election, because

votes at a general election gets first place
on the ballot at the next election.
The democratic party is anxious for that
b., place next year because it means their can
didate for United States senator will hRVe
his name at the top of the ballot.
Such is the tip from a democrat who is
anxious for his party to win next year.
So. II the democrats can win out this
year by shouting nonpartisan judiciary II
not only gives them three members OF the
supreme court, but gives them a supposed
advantage in the contest next year.
Game warden Holds Law Void.
Because he followed a law enacted by the
late democratic legislature a man in Gage
county was fined and IL he had not obeyed
the law there is no telling what would have
happened TO him. The recent democratic
aggregation enacted a law providing that
catfish, carp, gar and one or two other
varieties of the finny tribe could be sold
during certain months OF the year. A Gage
county man caught and sold some catfish
and he was promptly arrested and fined,
the game warden holding that the Law
enacted by the Legislature was unconsd-
tutional. The game warden explained that
the legal department OF state had in
formed him that the law was not valid be-
cause 1t amended the wrong sections or
something to that effect.

effect of letting light upon the

more they heard about these pro-
posed reforms, the less they liked
'em. A special session is there

SeutlelIleu lHey SeHl 10 tHe ttu
general assembly have really gone
to the bad just because Mr.. Patter-
sons organs say they have. If all
the people he has abused could be
gathered in one state it would
form a much larger one than Colo
RADIO.
Gov. Shafroth has threatened to
call an extra session of the legis-
lature in order to force the passage
of the bills he believes to be in
compliance with the demands of
the Democratic state platform. 1t
is, with him, matter of more
moment that Speer legislators
should keep Patterson pledges
than that the people should be
saved from the expense of an
utterly useless extraordinary ses-
sion of the general assembly. He
says that he and other leaders of
the Democratic party promised the
people that a certain lot Of other
men-now comprising the 18th
general assembly-should enact
certain ideas into law. Now he
wishes those other men to keep
the promises he made. He does
not take into account that the dis
cussions that have shaken the very
foundation of the state capitol
during the winter have caused
change of opinion on many meas
ures. Those who have followed,
for instance, the arguments on the
direct primary bill are beginning
to doubt if there is any need for
the enactment of any such law
There is popular clamor for a
direct primary in the belief that it
may cure some of the ills admitted
to be in election practices. But
the experience in other states has
not demonstrated that the direct
primary will be an efficient medi-
cine. The one thing that it will
certainly do will be to double the
expense of any and all elections,
any other effect is problematic.
Other states have not made the
success that it was declared they
would. In fact, primary election
laws seem falling into disfavor,
and the debate over the one intro
duced in the Colorado assembly
indicates the reason to be that
they do not accomplish what it is
claimed they should.
AT any rate, if the governor calls
the threatened special session and
he today repeated vigorously that
he would, there will be more oppo-
sition to at least one of the "plat-
form pledges" than there was in
the regular session. And some of
the others will fare about the same.
For instance, how is railroad
to regulate the rates
on railroads in this state? If it
the fares to be paid by
it must be the same
all over the state. In the noun
tain regions, where the roads run
up and down hill, and lose speed
going around curves, a higher rate
is needed than in the valley
regions, where the land is practi-
cally level. And so on, through
all the matters on which the
assembly may be called to legis-
late. The fellows who "holler"
loudest for these reforms have
taken up the cry in parrot form,
without consideration of what the
real object of the proposed "re-
forms" are. Maybe they will ac-
complish what is aimed at and
maybe they are mere shots in the
made for noise and to attract
One thing now stands against
all of the platform promises" of
