growth of alfalfa wheat, oats, barley, all kinds of small fruits and
vegetables. The Saratoga Valley is the finest stock raising country
in the United States. The Sierra Madre range n the west and the
Medicine Bow range of mountains on the east, are full of copper,

What Is The Matter With The Western Union7

The New York Times recently undertook is se how quickly a
message could be sent around the world. The result WAS that the
earth was girded in just Is minutes. That was quick work bnt il
was the result of special preparation, for every operator into whose
hands the message fell knew it was a speed test and was on his mettle
to do his best.
The sun knows Of a case in which it took over l6 hours to send a
message about l25 miles. The message was sent from this place at
b!3O p m. addressed to a party at Granite Canon. 1t was a death
message and supposed to be rushed thru, in order that the receiver
could get here at 1915 a. m. next day. Finding there had been no
response the sender called up a friend in Cheyenne, gave him a dup
hcate copy Of the message and urged him to take his car and deliver
the message. The friend did this. driving 30 miles in his car and
arriving at the ranch at 1870 a. m. just 10 minutes after the message
had been delivered. Just where that message had been laying dur
ing all that l6 hours no one seems to know. Itdoes seem when one
comes to consider the numerous case of delays in the transmission of
kilograms it would be better to patronize the mails.

Campaign Talk Cannot Stand Light OF Investigation

Everything seems to be turning out alright at state house, under
the new regime. All the hot air attacks upon Governor Brooks
have vanished into thin air. This leads the voter to consider the
rotten charges made last fall, i'll order to get their suffrage. There
is no doubt in the minds of any fair minded community that all the
charges made last fall were pure buncombe, all the money saved to the
state under the supposed charges in the administration have failed to
and we nave nothing that benefits the state in return for
placing these new men IN power. But after all it is no doubt a good
thing, for peopIe'had begun to think there really was something
wrong, nov with the lights turned on" they reveal nothing startling
and leave the people free to judge the talk of these political bunco
steerers in the true light. 1t liz speaking a good deal. when after

Last fall Turing the campaign for the election of state officers one
of the greatest accusations made was, that the state officers were rid
my on passes furnished by II n ever-ubliging railroad company. That
the officials in doing this were binding themselves body and soul to
the corporations with no hope of ever getting loose unless II complete
change "a made IN the party representation of such officials. Only
a few short months have passed away and we find that the terrible
octopus has grabbed the new officials and have them bound tighter
than they ever hgd the old ones and they are all riding serenely about
ne country VIII he little telltae card II their pockets. We Won

Publicity Day Proclamation

Governor Carey has issued his proclamation, calling upon the
people of the state of Wyoming, to observe October 18th. 1911, as
Publicity Day. The object of Publicity Day is to arouse state wide
interest in the necessity of advertising the many great resources of
he state, its advantages as a place to make homes, build factories and
works, open mines and develop water power sites, The.
lay should be observed to some purpose, for it is only by our own
united efforts that the state can be brot to the front and receive its
lust share of the homeseekers and capitalists who are hunting new

success Of the cantaloupe crop was

shipments that viii be sent from

farmers Of the vicinity are enthusi-
astic over the prospects for an un-
usually large crop of melons, and they
make predictions that the average
yield per acre viii be larger this

the worlds fair. l met on the train
very charming actress and two
rather flashily dressed girls. who
asked me to play cards with them. I
was reluctant. but finally yielded.
After a time one of the girls dropped
out and a young man took her place
! was not introduced to him and, as
a matter of fact. | soon found out
that none of the women at the table
knew his name. He was simply
chance acquaintance and as soon as
possible | excused myself from the
game on the ground of letters to write.
A little later the conductor. under
whose protection | was travelling. came
TO me and said, smiling. You got out
just in time" and he then proceeded
TO explain that the girls had proposed
a game to be played for stakes and the
young man had been fleeced out Of
everything he possessed except his
railroad ticket.
II was a lesson / never forgot Out
wardly, except for their showiness of
dress, those girls seemed pleasant and
cOngenial. Yet they were adventuresses
whom it would have been impossible
for me to have met elsewhere.
The girl who travels alone should
never make herself conspicuous. There
is pleasure enough and to spare in
watching other people or in reading
the good book or magazine with which
she should supply herself before she
starts on her trip. If these do not sat
isfy. she must content herself as best
she may rather than depend upon those
whose friendship would prove detrt-
mental.
