Raise in Cost Of Paper

The Newspapers and printers of
the country are right now getting
IN excellent sample of what a re
duction of the tariff or free trade
might mean to the people. Some
time ago when there was a duty on
wood pulp, paper was reasonably
heap, but the minute the tariff
, al removed the paper trusts got
l,old of the product in Canada AMI
ehortly after the price was raised
. cents per hundred pounds.
Just recently another advance
as occurred, and right now the
printers throuout the county are
citing notices from the paper
aouses calling their attention to a
ten per cent raise in paper, effec-
i've May 20. This means much
TO the publishers, but il is not an
Easy matter for them to raise The
subscription price of their papers,
and it is most unsatisfactory even
to have raise the price of printed
stationery and other commercial
printing, but it will have to come,
lust the same as did the advance
in leather aud other articles which
are admitted without duty.-Kem

Forest Reconnaissance

The Sun made mention in a late
issue of the fact that it was the in
tentiop of the Medicine Bow Nat
ional Forest supervisor to start a
forest reconnaissance" in that
reserve as soon as the spring OPEN
ed up enough to permit the work.
l.. h. Douglas, of the National
Forest service, Washington, D. c.,
who came west recently to take
charge of this work, arrived here
Saturday with a crew of men to
begin the work. He employed II.
Z. McMahon to furnish Transport
tation for the party, consisting of
a complete pack outfit and saddle
horses, and left here Sunday MORN
ing for the mountains. They will
begin work at the Ekdahl ranch
and work south along the western
side of the range and end up the
work this fall in the vicinity of
Foxpark along about the LIST of
October.
The party consists of Mr.. Doug
las, j. P. Reddick, J. Nj. Mann and
G. A Jones besides Mr.. Mcmahon.
Mr.. Mann and Mr.. Jones are both
Wyoming University students and
both of them expect to return to
Laramie on the 18th instant to
graduate. 1t is expected the work
of this party, which will be partic-
ularly concerned in taking stock of
the grazing facilities of the forest,
will be of immense advantage to
the stockmen of the country, furn-
ishing them with valuable data as
to the grazing resources of the

The New Homestead Law

The measure known as the Borah
homestead act is now likely to be-
come a law at any date. AS it
was finally agreed upon in confer
ence it gives the same title to land
as the present homestead law
gives. The requirement relating
to cultivation makes it obligatory
upon homestesders to cultivate
one-sixteenth. of the land during
the second year and one-eight
during the third year of the entry.
The residence must cover at least
seven months of each year, per-
hitting the homesteader to take
five months leave of absence with
out making application therefor.
This act will make it possible for
a settler to get title to 800 acres
designated as land not susceptible
Of irrigation from any known
source of water supply by residing
upon the land 81 months-that is,
seven months in each year for
three years.
Those who have met the require
ments of the new law as to resi-
dence and cultivation will be able
to make final proof at any time
after the approval of the law. 1t
will give many settlers who are in
adequately supplied with farm ami
pals and machinery an opportun-
~ to prove up and borrow a sum
money with which to get stock
4 to make needed improvements.
This measure will doubtless keep
any from going across the Cana
an border to settle, as it is as
beral in its provisions as the
hnadian statute.-Laramie Keep

Elk Mountain Wyo., June 2nd-12
Editor of the Saratoga Sun
Saratoga Wyoming.
Dear SIR The people of Elk
Mountain have organized a Boost
ers Club and everyone living
within riding distance of the town
has joined the club. The club
was organized to benefit and i'm
prove u community and that it
has done already. The entire
place is cleaned up, the roads have
had repairs made, and the people
get together for pleasure, as on
the 9Th the Boosters are giving an
entertainment and dance at the
hall, where everyone is invited.
John Evans, Treasurer of the
Boosters, is organizing a band and
committees have been appointed
for Agrand July 4th celebration.
We are also deeply interested in
theproposed new auto route across
Wyoming, there are two routes
mentioned one by way of Rock
River to Medicine Bow, to Carbon
to Dana. The other one, Rock
River to Rockdale to Elk Noun
tain to Fl. Halleck to Fit. Steele.
The first route above mentioned is
much longer over rough, barren,
grazing land and the old U. P. R.
r. grade. Were tourists to travel
that way they would see the very
worst of Carbon County, wind An |
dust blowing about them all the
time and no living water on the
route. The last mentioned route
is thru the most beautiful part of
Carbon County nice timber skirt
ed streams, we'll stocked with
mountain trout, fast improving, up
to date ranches, slowly waving
fields of grain and hay and pas
ture filled with fat, sleek stock and
a good many miles the shortest
route. The boosters here feel that
the newspapers are the best means
to bring such matters before the
people, and that the newspapers
published in the state will at tim
es do all in their power to pro-.
mote the best interests of the state
and they will see to it that home
seekers will not be driven away by
seeing what is best in our great
state.

THE BORAH HOMESTEAD
Rsuort Of Senate and House Conferrees
Accspted-Bill Signed By
President

Washington, D. c., June l.
The house of representatives this
morning agreed to the report of
the conference committee on the
Borah three-year homestead bill,
and the which has already
been accepted by the senate is
ready to go to the president for
his signature
The new law will mark the most
radical changes in the homestead
law and hereafter the people of the
Rocky Mountain region may look
for that law to rapidly hasten the
passage of the public domain in
TO private ownership. Those who
are fortunate enough to get 800
acres of good farming land under
this act will be able to make a
considerable sum of money in a
comparatively sholt period of
time. They will be required to
live upon the land seven months
in each year for a period of three
years and to cultivate one-six-
teenth of the land the seco d year
of the entry and one-elghth Of the
land the third year prior to final
proof. The settler will then have
a tract of land that will probably
sell at ten dollars per acre or So,
200.
Under the new act settlers who
have already established them.
selves will be given the option of
proving up under the new law or
continuing their residence for the
full period of five years.
