Wyomine's Climate Changing

The old timer in Wyoming will no doubt have remarked the diff
ference in Wyomings climate in the past ten or fifteen years. For
merly it was not supposed for a moment that flowers, such as geran-
iums, fuchias. roses, etc, could be grown out of doors in this climate
and all such boomers were kept indoors in pots and carefully watch
ed and sheltered from cold. But one IAN go along the streets now
and note all kinds of flowers blooming in the open air in the greatest
abundance and luxuriance. Ten years ago a rose bush in the yard
that put forth one fragrant flower a a wonder. The editor of
this paper was recently shown one of the most beautiful roses grown
by a resident of this town, which he said came from a bush that had
been blooming since July and was still producing a n abundance of its
fragrant fruit. 1t has grown to be a very common thing now to see
flowers blooming luxbriantly in every door yard where the inhabit-
ants are inclined to plant and water the seeds until they reach maturity
There are many residences here in Saratoga that are yearly made very
beautiful and attractive by we'll kept lawns and outdoor flower beds
that would do credit to localities in such states as Iowa, illinois and
their sister states. Surely the climate of Wyoming must be chang
ins or the early settlers we're wofully ignorant of its possibilities.

Is II Any Wonder

A ranchmen reported to the Sun that he had Just had a valuable
horse killed by a % rife ball in a pasture out west of town. This
is only one OF many such cases that have been reported here in the
years past. LIS it any wonder, then, that you will note from one to
a dozen notices in the Sun of "No Hunting or Fishing Allowed"?
One ranchman reported to this paper that a party of fishermen broke
open a cabin on his ranch. went in and took possession and made
themselves thoroly at home. This would not have been SO bad had
they not chopped the bottom of a zinc tub full of boles out of REVENGE
for the protest the ranchman made for such unwarrantable s. of
his property. We could fill this column full of Just such acts of
vandalism II We were inclined to do SO. Is it any wonder that the
ranchman says mo Fishing" on his premises when fishermen turn
their horses on his premises, teal his fences, leave his gates open and
otherwise CT IN a lawless and reckless manner where his property is
We think he is perfectly justified in putting up what
defense he can until people learn to pay some respect to his rights.

The managers of The Carbon county Fair hope to see a large dis.
play of grains, but they are especially anxious to have creditable ex-
hibits of winter wheat grown here in the valley. Every ranchman
who has cultivated winter wheat will kindly save up a few of his very
best sheaves and bring them to the Fair. Attention is again called
to the fact that the Fair managers want the best display of grain and
vegetables possible. There is a double purpose in this.
First. They wish a fine exhibit of grains to show our people
what can be, and is being, done in the raising of grain.
Second. 1t is the intention of the Fair managers to select the
best of the exhibit grain and send it to the immigration Commissioner
to be placed in the car of W yoming products that is to make the tour
OF half a dozen states and bring us hundreds of settlers.
80, bring In your grains and your vegetables and your grasses.
Gut your grain and grasses a little green and hang up, heads down, in
the barn, to cure. AS much will depend on the appearance of your
sheaves al anything, SO please take great pains in the preparation of
each sheaf.

Wyoming Girls As Hay Hands

n general public has been amazed by the manner in which wo-
men have invaded the holy precincts of man and taken his Jobs away
rom MN, right and left. They have not only taken his jobs away
hlm, but they have done the the work quicker and better than
he dreamed OF doing. The widest Imagination, however, never
dreamed that woman would enter the harvest field and rout the lords
OF creation from the hard labor in following the mower and the reap
er-ou That Is just what she is doing. Down in Nebraska, Il s well
as adjoining states, women have gone into the harvest field and not
only done the work as well, but in almost every case thew have proven
more efficient and trustworthy than men. They are doing the same
thing right here Elm the Saratoga valley and to their credit be it said,
they have done their work well and are reaping the reward of Their
faithful labors, not only in aching muscles and bistered hands, but in
good hard dollars and the highest kind of commentator.

n A good sponge cake should be yellow

result:
Separate the yolks and whites OF
four eggs; then beat the whites until

and add to them half cupful OF
sugar, beating for Ave minutes. This
latter is very important, as the deli.

it. Add to the yolks the strained juice
and grated rind Of one lemon; then
beat we'll together the yolks and the
whites. At this stage beating is in
order, but must be absolutely avoided
after adding the flour.
The mixture should now look like q

surplus Of $219,1ss.12. At the begin

years this deficit has been changed in
to substantial surplus.
The wipins out Of the deficit has
been accomplished without curtailment

VOTE TO ABRoGATE TREATY
House Adopts sulzer Resolution to
Cancel Agreement With Russia
With One Opposing Voice.

Washington.-The Sulzer resolution
demanding the abrogation Of the treaty
with Russia passed the house prac-
tically without dissenting vote. The.
vote in favor of the resolution was
300 to 1. Mr.. Malby Of New York, q
Republican, was the only one to vote
against the resolution.
A day of fervid oratory, in which
Russia's treatment OF American Jews
was fully recounted, preceded the
passage Of the resolution. On the.
floor but one voice was raised against
the Sulzer proposal, and this was that
of Mr.. Mccall of Massachusetts. He
urged that the Russian passport ques-
ton should be submitted to arbitra-
ton before the house took drastic ac-
ton. More than fifty speakers, in
speeches ranging from one to five
minutes in length. spoke in favor OF
the resolution.
Some of the speakers were charac-
terized by Mr.. Mann as being 30 in
temperate in language that they might
precipitate war If uttered in a foreign
parliament. Nevertheless Mr.. Mann,
Republican floor leader, favored the
resolution.
