Wyoming at the Stock Show

Do people ever stop to think
why Wyoming is one of the great
est states in the Union with only
here and there a handful of pop
ulation? For a number of years
past, whenever Wyoming is enter
ed or represented in any of the
stock shows of other states and at
fairs and expositions she has taken
first honors in nearly everything
she has exhibited. At the stock
show in Denver just closed this
week, she cleaned everything in
the sheep exhibits. She got first
on having the best bull in all breeds
She made a good showing in
horses and took a great many of
the ribbons. There is nothing
the matter with Wyoming. All
she needs is a little better adver-
Using on the outside and over the
civilized world to put her In the
front rank of all the states of the
Union. Even as early as the
Worlds Fair in Chicago she began
to make IA showing in grains. The
editor of this paper and the editor
pro TEN. threshed the whest out
by hand that took the gold medal
at that fair in 1893. That whea,
came from Carbon county and was
raised on Beaver creek in this val

Makes Plea for Wyoming Horses

Congressman F. W MondelT is
always to the fore. In his speech
before the House on the army and
navy appropriation bill he made a
wonderful plea for the Wyoming
horse for %cavelry use in the q s.
army. Why is it that no other
man in Congress is 81 watchful of
every little point for the benefit of
his state as is Congressman Mon
dell. In his speech he downed
Representative Helm Of Kentucky
on nearly every point in regard to
the fitness of the Wyoming bred
horse over the eastern ''dress par
ade" horse that has been SO long
used in the army. He goes IN to
show why this is the case and his
statements are borne out by the
facts clear thru. With Wyoming
always closest to his heart, Mon
dell does things for his state that
any other man would not consider
worth their while. But it has al
ways been proven with his small
things as with the larger, they all
turn out bigger than any one thot
for. The day that Wyoming ever
loses Mondell as her representa-.
i've in Congress will be a sorry day
not only for Wyoming but for the
entire West. He has introduced
another in Congress fol
help and protection to the lane
entryman of the West in the SHAPE
of a "Final Proof Suspension Bill
which appears in another column
of this paper. Is his Parcels Pos
bill becomes a law it will be- jus
another feather in that gentleman
cap for the helping hand that b
is ever extending to the common
wealth of this entire nation.

Dance at Jones { Williams Ranch

at the Jones d Williams ranch on
Calf creek gave a dance to the
people OF that vicinity. 1t was
well attended and every one had
the usual good time. Supper was
served at midnight and dancing
WAS INDUCED. in until daylight.
One of tn. funny things that &c
cur now and then, befell a party
of twalve that started from here to
attend the dance. This party took
a four-horse team and sled and
left here about 5 p. m. They got
lost and were unable to find their
way as the road was showed over
aud there was no track to follow.
They wandered around until mid
night when they reached the VIM.
Large ranch on Spring creek, their
team being tired out they decided
to remain there the rest of the
night. Mr. and Mrs. Large had
gone to the dance but GrandpH
Large took them in and warmed
them up. After getting thawed
out they decided to have a dance
OF their own, so one of their party
played the piano and the rest dane

Grandma billiard Passes Away

Word was received here last
week of the death of Mrs. Jane P.
billiard at her home in Arkansas.
Grandma billiard AS she was known
here would have been 50 years old
the 10Th of this month, had she
lived. She was one of the old
timers of this valley as we'll as one
OF the pioneer women of the west.
She came from the south about
the year 1873 and started a board
ing house at Fort Fred Steele.
She ha with her one daughter
who later married w. G.. Forney
of this place and in 1875 they
moved out to the old Forney ranch
west of town. At that time the
country was pretty wild and thinly
settled and she was a mother to
every one in the valley and was
known and loved by all. She
travelled about over this valley
doing all she could to relieve sick
or injured. She went miles to adj
minister aid to some COW puncher
with a broken leg or to help cele-
brate the arrival of a rfew member
in some family. She was practi-
cally the only doctor this valley
had for a number of years aud she
was looked upon as a real grand
mother by all. She faced the
h%ardships of the west with never II
and was universally loved
for her true and faithful charact er
The writer of this article was help
ed into this wur'd % years ago by
her kindly hand, likewise washed
and dressed for the first time by
that same hand. Many a mother
of this valley in the early days
has had the comforts of good care
thru the sickness of herself or her
children and the old timers who.
are left to read this article will I'M
doubtedly recall some tender MEM
DRY of her in the pest.
She passed to hrr reward on the
4th of this month aud did not take
to her bed until four hours before
her death. She seemed fully aware
of her going and made all requests
for her disposal and the notice to
her friends in this valley of her
going. She was taken to the place
of her birth in Mississippi where
she was laid to rest. Her passing
WAS noticeable in the fact that she
went without a pain, without
a culver, concious until the last.
1t is hard to do her justice yet we
know a soul like hers will find it's
place in heaven and will receive
it's w reward.

Buys Steam Plow

d. s. Wilcox and Geo. Arnold
have purchased a Reeves steam
traction engine of 30 h. p. and IL
IA inch moleboard plows. They
expect to contract any and all
kinds of blowing. The steam
flexible pillow frame lift will make
it possible for them to do blowing
in most any kind of ground as
they will be able to comply with
the c~ountour of the ground icing
plowed. These gentleman will
have their blowing machinery on
the ground shortly and are ready
now to contract any blowing for
the season. With a steam pillow
that handles the work quickly, the
ranchmen can have their land
plowed both in the spring and in
the fall. giving the ground a dou'
BILE blowing and the difference in
the crops will more than pay fol
the double work. We have little
doubt about these men handling
their machinery and We expect t.
see them have more work thar
they can handle, Their prices
will be so any ranchman can at
ford to have his blowing done.

greatly that he endeavored to hit on
plan by which he might retain posses

so he made no reply. One day when
looking out of a window he saw the

HEAT AND COLD.
The Range Between Liquid Hslivrn
and the Arc Light.

The Range Between Liquid 1sHum
and the Arc Light.
Have you never wondered on some
terribly cold winter day, when the
falling temperature had long since
passed the zero mark. If 1t could pos
sibly be any colder anywhere. and then.
when summer comes and the mercury
is appa rently never going to stop
climbing, you cannot imagine how any
thing could be hotter or more uncom-
Portable?
Fortunately we live in a world where
the temperature seldom exceeds the
limits Of say. so degrees below zero
Fahrenheit and no above. This
seems tremendous range of tempera
ture. but II is only trivial compared
with that found on every side in ma
ture or in the laboratory. Why, this
16n degrees is less than the range
through which a dish of cold water is
heated when you place it on the stove
re boil
A moments thought of some of these
higher and lower temperatures is well
worth while. Liquid air at 312 de
gyees below zero is cold hut liquid
hydrogen at 421 is still colder. while
LIQUID helium at 451 below zero Is the
coolest thing we know Of. Going ths
other way. lead melts at 500 degrees
above zero Fahrenheit. while gold
remains solid up to bright red heat.
or 1,946 degrees. A good furnace fire
may get several hundred degrees hot
ter than this. Platinum. one Of the
most refractory of metals. melts only
when intensely white hot at TEN
perature of 1920. but even this is 100
degrees or so less than the tempera-
ture of the fame on your gas stove.
The hotter body is the more light
it gives, so the tungsten lamp tilamen,,
which runs at about 4.500 degrees,
gives a brighter and whittier light than
the carbon filament at $500. The cleo
trio arc gives still more light for a
given amount of current consumed
and generates a temperature not far
from 1900 degrees Fahrenheit. This t.
the highest temperature we can pro
duoe artificially. No metal known can
stand this terrible heat. and even mos
refractory substances, such as carbon
are volatiliZed by it.
But, while the arc is indeed hot it is
by no means the highest temperature
to be found in nature. There are the
best of reasons for believing that the
temperature of the sun is some 1900
degrees or more and 1t is proba BILE
that some Of the stars are still hotter
This great heat explains the almost
unbelievable fact, found by Langley
that sunlight is 5000 times brighter
than the dazzling stream of molten
metal from a Bessemer converter

ROUTES IN NORTH AMERICA
Total a,all Auss. es $5O.45 1910 s6O.l5 Aver

The statistics given compiled by the
Official Railway Guide are for eleven diff
ferent journeys in Europe, varying from
80 to 497 miles, and for a similar num-
Der in America, ranging from 40 to All
miles. 1t will be seen that the net
results are as follows:
Travelling first class, 2,l54 miles in
Europe, at 30.4 miles per hour, with an
average of l6S pounds of baggage, cost
$95.97, or As cents per mile.
Travelling first class. 2,2ll miles in
North America, at 1856 miles per hour,
with an average of l68 pounds of bag
gage, including reserved seat in parlor
car, would cost $60.l5, or about 2.7 cents
per mile.
The cost of railway travelling in
Europe is, therefore, over SIS per cent
higher than in North America:
A passenger with a trunk in Europe
would travel frst-class 500 miles in l6
hours and p minutes at cost of $22.25 !;
while a passenger in North America
with the same baggage would travel in
a parlor car 500 miles in II hours and
So minutes at a cost of $l4.30.
In the matter of speed, too, the ad-
vantage is with the United States; for.
although the highest rate-49.69 miles
per hour on journey of l7S miles--is
conceded to Europe, the total average
speed is 1852 miles per hour inr the
United States as against 304l miles per
hour in Europe
