Remarkable Exhibit OF Grain
Predicted For Our County Fair
Farmers Turnout The Saratoga Valley To Bring In Specimens OF
Their Oats. Wheat, Alfalfa, and Barley For The Second
Annual Carbon County Fair

Never In the history OF Carbon county has there been such an alb
undant yield of grain and hay a 8 during the summer of 1911. We
have seen a number of fields of grain that were simply "out of sight :"
so heavy was the yield. Ii the farmers will take pains to gather a
number of line sbeaves of this grain, taking special pains % .o the Ar.
rangement of each sheaf, and bring it to the Fair, there is n O question
but what the combined exhibit will be something worth going lono
way to see. Extra pains should, however, be taken with each sbeaf
to see that it is perfectly tied in order that the grain NAV be present
ed to the very best advantage.
The same rule should apply to vegetables-they should be put up
in packages that will show them to the best advantage, and the guam
hy should be sufficient to carry weight by its appearance.
The Fair Managers have arranged for the Hanna band, consisting
of Is pieces to be in attendance each day of the Fair. This band
has a reputation all along the line of the U. P. road in Wyoming as
being the best trained lot of musicians in the state. By securing the
services of this band the people will be assured of the finest and best
music the state affords.
The s. q E. will run special trains each day of the Fair The
regular train will leave Encampment at 5 a. NJ. a usual and meet all
U. +. passenger trains at Walcott in the morning, landing them at
Saratoga at lob al A special train will leave Encampmenta at
1890 arriving at Saratoga at 1:30 (. IN. A special train will leave
Saratoga for Walcott at $50 Tor a little later) connecting with o. p
trains b and 3 1T Walcott. BY this arrangement the prople from
Rawlins, Hanna, and Medicine Bow who are unable to remain oyer in
Saratoga, can come up in the morning and go home the same evening

Guard Shot At Penitentiary

W. F. Carrick, a guard in the
penitentiary at Rawlins, was MUIR
dered mysteriously in that place
about one o'clock one night last
week. No clew has as yet been
found to the murderer. Carrick
was shot by some one hiding be-
hind a barrel near the gate in the
inner yard. He lived for some
time after the shooting, out never
regained consciousness enough to
give an account Of the shooting.
The murderer evidently gained
an entrance to the grounds by the
means of a rope ladder, which he
left hanging to the wall. Carrick
was shot in the forehead. A hack
saw and a number of new saw
blades were found aud it was evil
dent that the man who committed
crime was taking these instruments
to some one in the pen.

He Got q Dollar per Head

There is always more or less
wranglipg between sheepmen over
the question of stray sheep, some
owners claiming that the foreman
and herders are paid to steal sheep
from rival companies. The fol-

tween two foremen in regard to
the question:
closing many sheep now

"Just about holding my own"

More About Paulson Well

A great many people are now

well for stomach troubles. The
strongest testimony had lately was
from Mrs. Hopkins, wife Of the
RawDins dentist, who was camLed
on the island here for a couple of
weeks. She has been afflicted for
many years with what was pro-
nouned a catarrhl affection of the
stomach and had given up all hope
of relief. She used the water while
here and afirms that she got help
from the very first day and believ-
ed, when she left, that she had
been cured. She will have the
water shipped to her by Mr.. Bush
This may read like patent med
icine ad, but it is a plain matter
OF fact and Mrs. Hopkins and her
friends "a testify to the truth of
the statement.

Our Washington Correspondence

Washington, August 22-With the accomplishments of the srec-
isl session practically closed at this writing, a glance ove the list of
measures given during this session a we'll a a review of the conduct
OF both senate and house with a view to determining what may be ex-
pected during the regular term, may prove interesting While the
extra session was called especially on account of desire to pass a rec
iprocity measure, and general legislation prescribed to a very limited
program by a democratic house, a retrospective view will give a very
fair insight to the immediate future.
Looking over the list of bills passed at this session. the Warren
bill granting leave of absence to homesteaders appears to be the only
measure to become a law of particular interest to the people Of Wyo-
ming. 1t required considerable maneuvering in both house and
senate to get this bill thru, and the manner in which those in charge
OF the measure we're ssailed with questions-queries evidencins the
grossest ignorance of western condiions-indicates the laborous task
other class exhibited the ultra. conservation spirit and constantly sus.
pcloned In the mere mention of public lands a attempt on the part
of the interests" to wrest something away from "the people," The
majority in the house, especially. evidences a desire to make the vest
erner pay dearly for everything he gets from the public domain.
They thot the homesteaders might just as well wait until
the land laws could be generally revised at the regular session.
A burnt timber bill, intended for the relief of Montana and Idaho
humesteaders who lost their homes and everything else in forest fires,
and which provided a way for them to sell the burnt timber and get a
few dollars to keep them going, was sidetracked until the regular con-
sideration in the fear that the lumber barons" were going to be given
some advantage.
That the Warren bill got thru was due to careful management
and experienced chaperoning from start to finish. That the west
is to receive scant consideration from the present congress is evident.
That a triumphant democracy in the house and a democrat insurgent
combination in the senate art likely to form a triumvirate to direct
legislation toward re-caiming swamp lands and making public i'm
provments in the south, seems certain. Until the republicans are
again in control at both ends of the capitol, the west will be showed
aide-and must make the most of the situation.
Ju paste this prediction up for future reference: The west
congress, Should Wyoming prove a n exception TO this rule, it will be
solely thru the power and influence of it's delegation-recognized here
as second to that of no other state, because of their long service hav-
ing placed them in important committee places, in addition to a per.
feet knowledge of conditions here and n personality and individuality
placing them among the nations leaders IS both men and statesmen.
