The Beginning of The End

The beginning of the work on the Fitzgerald ditch project, which
the enlargement and extension of the High Line Cana
is really the beginning of the end of the long, long wait for the con.
ing of outside capital to help us develop our great natural resources
The work contemplated by Mr.. Fitzgerald will show to the world just
what can be done in this part of Wyoming in the way of raising ari
cultural crops and demonstrate that W have here a soil that is
as fertile and productive rs any in the West. By the time the 5000
acres are settled and cultivation started in good shape, there will be nc
hesitency about capital taking hold of the other smaller projects anG
pushing them to a speedy completion. Once these projects are vel
under way settlers will begin to flock in and no where is there to be
found a more perfect soil, climate and natural surroundings and con.
|ditons for home making than here.

Commendable Precaution By Mayor McKillip

The Sun understands that it is the intention of Mayor McKiIIip
to az that the streets, alleys and vacant lots in the town are to be
kept free from garbage and other hy-hreeding ofal during the summer
months. This decision on his part cannot be two highly commend
ed a the fly is now considered of the greatest carriers of disease
that the world knows of. Judging from the vigorous campaign
that will be carried on to keep people from throwing decayed fruit.
fish ofal, and other decaying matter into the streets and alleys, Sara
toH will be comparatively free from contagious diseases. Mayor
Mckilip should receive the hearty support of every intelligent per-
son in his efforts at making and keeping a clean and healthy town
and the Sun will lend all the aid in it's power.

A Rain Worth Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars

This part of Wyoming was whitening and drying up when a COP
ios rain made it's appearance and broke the long drouth. For
twentyfour hours a gentle drizzle fell all over the land and the water
gradually sank away into the ground. 1t is hard to place a est
on the value OF such a rainfall to the range and the growing
crops, but it must have been worth not less than twenty-five thousand
dollars just to this part of Wyoming bounded by the Medicine Bow
and Sierrr Madre ranges. The crops ire now assured if we do no.,
get another drop this summer, but we could stand just such another
before tho hay harvest sets in.

Something Awful Should Have Transpired

With Otto Gramm off the state university board and tbe new
management in full charge, there appears to be no change from the
old regime. The faculty have all been reelected with but y.
ception and there appears to be no disposition to make INV chance
despite the thunderings and rawlings of last falls campaign. While
this state of affairs is undoubtedly for the best interests of tn. univar

Lincoln County Won Out Handsomely

Lincoln County came under the wire with about 700 aiorit to
the good. Bully for that. Now let the organization 90 forward
to the point where she will be able to take over her own affairs and
house keeping for herself. She certainly deserves her
victory and @ Watt Brandon, editor o. the Camera, deserves a gold
watch and chain for the very great service he rendered in bringing
the victory about. You eau say what you please, but Won cant do
anything without a newspaper. 1t takes a good, live hustler, like
Brandon, to deliver the goods and he sure did the work all right this
time.

Here, in the LimeIig41t.

Basking Ridge, n. j., Sept. 8.-Theo-
dore Homer Geisel Of this town, inyen-
tor, author and self styled Bishop Of
Basking Ridge" has sent broadcast
through his home town and the neigh
boring town of Barnardsyille more
than a thousand postal cards denounc-
ing the Rev. Thomas A. Conover, rec
tor of st. Bernard's Protestant Episco-
pal church, of Bernardsville. Mr.. Gel
sci recited his reasons for criticising
the minister, declaring Mr.. ConoTer
caused the postponement of his mar
riage to the woman of his choice.
MY reasons fer informing this com
munity of my thoughts regarding the
Rev. Mr.. Conover," Mr.. Geisel said,
"can best be understood when my ro-
nance is heard.
"wednesday of last week Miss Tur-
ner arrived here to marry me. She
came all the way from Sioux City. She
is wealthy, owning many houses and
much real estate. She loyes me be
cause of my work and because, too, of
my personality.
Thursday I spied the Rev. Harold
John, the Basking Ridge assistant to
the Rev. Mr.. Conover, and agreed with
him to have the ceremony performed
at 8 p. N. He asked many questions
regarding Miss Turner, and when l
left him l was so angry that l sudden
ly changed my mind about having
him tie the knot. l engaged the Rev.
Thomas t. Crawford.
"At noon Mr.. Crawford visited me
and declined to perform the ceremony
because 1 failed to tell him of the ar
rangements with the Rev. Mr.. John.
Then Mr.. Conover was asked to per-
form the ceremony, and after refusing
| became suspicious he was trying to
keep all other ministers in the neigh
borborhoOd from uniting US. l tele-
phoned him, inviting him to the home
of Mr.. P~fadenhauer for q beating.
THE Rev. Mr.. Conover arrived at the
appointed time and was just about to
shake hands with Miss Turner when |
ran between the two and thrust him
rudely against the parlor wall. He
smiled, denying he thought I was &C.
centrically intellectual, and said his
reason for refusing to marry us was
because he knew nothing of Miss Tur-
ner. My iancee then returned TO Sioux
City"
