Presented with Valuable Jewels

Judge W. L. Kuykendall re.
turned home Saturday from at.
tending the session of the Grand
Lodge, L, o. o, F. of Wyoming al
Wheatland. While the Judge is
the Past Grand Sire of the Odd
Fellows of the World, he is also a
very prominent member of the
Grand Lodge of Wyoming, A. F.
q A. NJ, being secretary of that
grand body, a position he has held
for 70 years, having been re-elect-
ed to that position at the meeting
held in Cheyenne GU the 9th of
of last September. Or the occa-
sion of his election there was
much feeling. 1t is seldom that
a man holds such a prominent pc.
sition as the one he is now in DOS
session of for SO many consecutive
years. When the announcement
was made that he had been elect
ed for the 25th time as secretary
of the institution, Judge G. N.
Potter, a member of the Supreme
Bench of Wyoming, stepped for
ward and in a very impressive
speech, presented the old Judge
with a scarf pin and cuff buttons,
both solid gold set with diamonds.
AS the old Judge took the spark.
ling jewels in his hands they
shook-not with old age-but
with the emotion that filled his
breast. Haltingly, and with chok-
ed utterances, he tried to express
the gratitude he felt for the beau
tiful emblems of the esteem in
which the grand body held him.
1t was a trying moment to all pre-
sent and the eyes of nearly every
member of that grand body was
suffused with tears. By a MASTER
full effort the Judge steadied his
words until he could express his
gratitude and then sat down.
The people of Saratoga feel
great pride in the fact that Judge
Kuykendall is a citizen of their
town and any honor that comes to
him is matter for rejoicing in the
community. He will no doubt be
very glad to display these hand
some jewels to any n who may
wish to see them for they are GER
tainly we'll worth looking at.

Ex.Governor's Opinion

Ex-Governor Fernald of Maine
There are more than 212,O0O
school children in the state of
Maine. Not one of this great
army OF healthy, happy, rugged
boys and girls has eve seen en-
blazoned over a store front a sign
advertising the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors. They have walked
the hundreds of miles of business
streets of our twenty cities and
454 towns, on their way to and
from school, they have seen the
names of their fathers shining in
letters of gold as sellers of all the
wholesome and necessary articles
of trade, as lawyers and doctors
and printers, but W as poison
ers of the human system AID
wreckers Of homes. This is the
legacy that has come to the 212,
600 school children from the 200,
600 children of the generation
that preceded them. l hope these
212, 1000 children will pledge them
selves to bequeath to the 100000
children who, without doubt, will
follow them, the same precious

lz8 Miles Double Track

The Union Pacific will begin
laying 1913 miles additional of
double track early next summer.
The announcement of the COM
pletion of grading and all plans
for this work is just made by
President Mohler.
When this strech of 1913 miles
is completed, it will leave only 24l
miles of the Overland between
Council Bluffs and Odgen with a
single track. and even on a large
part of those 24l miles, right-of-
way for laying the second track
has been secured, 80 that within
the very near future the whole
line from it's eastern to it's western
terminus will be double tracked.
This double track is continuous
from Council Bluffs 10 Julesburg,
Colo, a distance of 375 miles, and
the total distance of double track
age is 63l miles, or about two.
thirds of the main line
Not only is this double tracking
being pushed, but the high stand.
ard of the roadbed, which has dis.
hnguished the Union Pacific all
over the world, is being maintain
ed under President Mohler. This
feature, he is determined, must be
looked after, for the first thing
Mr. Hartman, when he bought
the road, undertook, was its phys.
zeal re obstruction. Much of thii
important work has since falleI

WyominG's Inning

As an indication Of the results
which are being harvested follow.
ing the tour of Wyoming by the
Washington correspondence for
the eastern newspapers and mag
azines, the article below is a typi-
cal example. 1t is taken from the
editorial columns of the Colby,
Wisconsin "Phonograph" of Sep
tember 2e. This paper circulates
smong the most prosperous class
Of farmers in Wisconsin and the
olportune message conveyed in
Mr.. Schuette's article will no
doubt be of immense value to our
state in bringing it before the at
tention Of the right kind of peo-
pie. The article i'll question fol-
lows.
Oswald F. Schuette, Washing
ion Correspondent of the Chicago
Inter Ocean, is spending a two
weeks vacation with his uncles,
John and Peter Beyerl. This is
the eighth year hat he has spent
his summer rest in Colby.
This year it is the end of a six
weeks vacation for him, the first
four of which he spent in Wyom-
ing with fifteen other Washington
correspondents of the big news
papers of the country, as the
guests of the state of Wyoming.
Wyoming invited US to come
out and look it over said Oswald,
to prove to us that it offers the
settler finer farm and the capital
ist greater investment than any
other state in the Union. And it
made good. We saw a splendid
state, destined to be one of our
greatest states, both in agricul-
ture and mining.
When We left Washington, we
thought we would see nothing but
sagebrush desert and prairie dogs.
But they have conquered the des-
ert out there, and they are raising
some of the finest crops in the
world on their irrigated farms.
But Wyoming needs people
more than anything else. 1t has
millions of acres awaiting the set
tier, and our trip was really made
to help Wyoming tell the world
of the great opportunities it has
to Offer"

TWlNKLlNG STAR MEANS LIFE

planets originally were small bodies
forming at a great distance from the
sun, and that their masses have been
increased by gathering up all manner
of lesser bodies from meteorites to
satellites
Professor See outlined the process
by which the planets had been built
up out of matter once circulating in
our nebula as comets, and said the de-
struction of the comets was still caus-
ing showers of cosmical dust to fall
upon the planets, as witnessed in the
celebrated star showers OF 1899, 1888
and 1866
Our system was once literally filed
with comets, and Kepler was right"
he said, when he declared there was
as many comets in the heavens as
there was fish in the sea. And Just
as the planets have been captured and
added to our sun from without, so also
the satellites have been captured and
added on to their several planets.

Entirely Legendary.

Berlin.-Doctor Siegert is actively
engaged in preliminary preparations
to cross the great desert of Sahara in
dirigible balloon. Prominent geog-
raphers and meteorologists are help
ing him in his scientific calculations
and his choice of an airship. Count
de la Vaulx, the famous French
aeronaut, had the same purpose a
few years ago, but gave it up because
airships had not sufficient protection
against the suns rays. Doctor Siegert
confidently expects to make the trip

will give the craft a speed of 1871
miles an hour; besides, Doctor
Siegert is counting on IL miles an
hour more by the wind.
To the unimaginative the Sahara is

from it have come legends of buried

THE u. .. DOUBLE: TRACK PLAN
Plans Made Assure That Work Will
Begin at Several Places In the
West This Spring.

Plans for the double tracking of tho
Hartman system from the Missouri
river to the Pacific coast, recently au-
thorized by the directors, have been
completed, and preparations are under
way to begin the work.
The work will begin at a number Of
places at the same time. One stretch
will be from Benicia, CAL, to Sacra-
mento, about 60 miles. About the heav-
lest traffic on the Southern Pacific
goes over that piece of track. Filling
this gap will give double track from
San Francisco to Colfax. The facili-
ties of the ferry at Benicia also will
be doubled to accommodate the in
creased traffic.
Another stretch will be at the end
of the Salt Lake cutoff. In connec-
ton with it there will be some changes
of the line and reduction of grades.
which will improve the train loading
on the Central Pacific. The road will
build low grade line up the mountain
and use the present high grade line
for the down traffic.
The Union Pacific will be double
tracked from Julesburg, COL, west
about 100 miles, and from Ogden to
Pennington, Utah. It is already double
tracked from Pennington to Salt Lake
City.

Hairpins should be kept in nat

when only short pins are used, by
placing one cardboard partition In the
center. Some cigarette boxes are of
double size, and these are best for all
practical purposes. There should be
a small space made at one end for the
Invisible hairpins which are essential
to keep the stray locks in place, and
then II the center is divided again
there will be three partitions left in

A hairpin box can be covered with
the tiniest end of chintz or silk, with
bit of gold or silk braid to paste over
the edges and hide untidy Innings. II
there Is no scrap box to draw upon, a
pretty box can be made with wall pa.

The girl who would be neat should
also keep in the top drawer of her
dressing table small silk bag for her
.combings, and then this bag should be
carefully emptied every few days. Just
a few hairs at time are apt to stray
from the waste basket, and nothing is
more unattractive than long loose
hairs upon the carpet. There should
also be a little combing case in the
travelling bag, for on a train or steam

equal length and are covered, of
