WyominE Elk Doing Fine

Lander, Wyo., July 12.-Game
Warden Hudson has returned to
this town from the Jackson's Hole
country, where he has been SUPER
intending the feeding Of several
thousand elk, the hay being pur-
chased with funds appropriated
by the national congress and the
Wyoming Legislature for the pur-
pose. The expense of hauling and
feeding the hay also was borne by
the state and government.
Game in the Jackson's Hole
country wintred much better than
for many years, despite the sever
ity of the weather and deep snow.
Large bands of elk this year mi
grated northward and are now
feeding within nine miles of
Lander, in Fremont county.
People with field glasses daily
watch the antlered animals as they
come down out of the hills around
Lander to the feeding grounds in
the valleys.
The animals are becoming 30

spection, and at Dubois elk fire.

appealing to the people to save
the Wyoming elk" the fact is that
the wild game is being taken care
of properly, and the losses the
last winter have been normal, &C.

Medicine Bow National Forest

The supervisor of the Medicine
Bow National Forest has just been
furnished by the fiscal officers Of
the Department of Agriculture
with figures showing the receipts
credited to this Forest during the
fiscal yexr ended June 80, 1912.
The figures show that during the
twelve months preceding June 30
there was realized through the
sale of National Forest timber,
grazing fees, and rental of Nation
al Forest lands for various pur-
poses, the sum of $49, 592. "a.
During the came period the adj
m%inistration of the Forest, includ-
ing salaries, permanent improve
ments, fire protection, and gener-
al running expenses, cost s37,185.
90; leaving a net profit of S11, 4O7.
IL. Thus the Medicine Bow
National Forest has been a decid-
ed asset rather than a liability,
and the actual money profit is in
creased many fold when the in
crease in value of the Fosest pro-
ducts protected during the year is
considered.
Under the law twenty-five per
cent of the receipts from the
National Forests go to the states
in which the Forests lie to be
used for school and road purposes.
This year Albany and Carbon
counties will divide twenty-five
per cent of the receipts from the
Medicine Bow Forest, about $12,
400, the money being apportioned
to the counties on the basis of
of their acreage in the National
Forest. Carbon county will get
about sixty percent of the above
sun or about $7,440y0O.

AUTOMOBILE TRAVEL
II Saratoga gets any Of II She will have
to 60 after it-shs should begin to
show her hand
Editor Sun:

Editor Sun:
At the present time there are
from 5 to 10 automobiles, with an
average of 4 passengers to the car,
passing thru Fl. Steele every day,
either going west or east. Now,
many Of those people do not know
there is a Saratoga or a Platte
Valley in Wyoming. A good
mauy of those people are looking
for investments and some for q
place to locate, and they all have
money to spend. There is an
average Of at least twenty-five
people a day passing thru the
back yards of Carbon County and
this number will steadily increase
from now on until 1915, when I
expect there will be 5000 passing
thru Carbon County, coming and
going from the Panama Canal Ex-
position at San Francisco.
Now then, are we going to set
here and let all those people pass
thru our back yard, or are we go
ing to open up our front gate and
bid them pass thru the garden
spot of Carbon County?
At the present time the hustling
mayor of Medicine Bow, our
worthy neighbor. is keeping the
Continental automobile travel
going thru Medicine Bow All
that it would be necessary for US
to do to get this travel thru Sara
toga and the Platte Valley is for
the business men and boosters of
Saratoga and Encsmpment to
have a meeting, send a delegation
to Walden to meet a like meeting
at that place, arrange with them
to have some one at Laramie to
direct the travel thru Walden and
North Park to this valley, furnish
some illustrated pamphlets, des-
cribing the scenery and fishing on
this route, and place sign boards
on the road from Laramie to
Walden. Saratoga could take
care of this end of the line, but it
should have some one at Rawlins,
or Fl. Steele, direct them thru
and the Platte Valley
and furnish them with advertis-
ing matter. This route is the
most practical of any across the
state from the last of June to the
LIST of November-just the time
automobile travel is at its best.
1 think this would be the best
kind of advertising that we could
do and it would bring at least 75,
900 tourists thru this valley in the
next three years.
Yours truly,
John D. Paulson.

ASSOCIATION
steekhoidsrs make arrangement at the
meeting here Tuesday to redeem the
property and have Fair

In accordance with notices sent
to all the stockholders of the Car
bon County Fair Association a
meeting was held in the Town
Hall Tuesday afternoon at which
q majority of the stock vas re.
presented. The question of re-
desming the property was taken
up and considered. The direc-
tors, by authority of the stock
holders, had mortgaged the pro-
perry to J. d. Paulson for 81, 900
which came due in November,
1911. Failing to pay Mr.. Paulson
foreclosed his mortgage and
bid the property in and holds it
subject to the rights of the As
ISOLATION to redeem within six
months, which would expire Nov
ember 18th, 1912. The meeting
was for the purpose of providing
funds with. which to redeem the
property. A subscription paper
had been circulated, containing
the names of 81 men, who pledged
the money necessary to redeem
the property. The following re-
solution Was presented and, after
q thoro discussion, was adopted:
"Whereas: The Carbon County
Fair Association is indie bted to j.
d. Paulson to the amount of 81,
16O, more or less, such indebted
ness being evidenced by a mort
gage upon the real and personal
property of the Association, such
mortgage becoming due and FORE
closure having been made, and
the property sold under the fore
closure, and
"Whereas: The final date of re-
demption of the property being
Nov. 18th, 1912, and the Associs-
ton being without funds, and
Whereas: A number of the
stockholders have agreed to loan
the Association the money neces-
sary to redeem the property, there
fore be it
Resolved: That the board of d.
rectors are hereby instructed and
empowered to issue in the name
of the Association, through the
President and secretary, notes Sc
cured by mortagage on the pro-
perty, both real and personal, in
the amount of 50, $4,000 in favor
of a trustee to be named by the
loaners, the proceeds of such loan
to be used to pay the present in
debtedness of the Association aud
for no other. Said notes and
mortgage to be payable in two
years and to bear 8 per cent in
teres annually the Association to
have the option of taking up any
part at any time"
The resolution at first provided
that the new notes and mortgage
were to run five years, but it was
amended to read two" years in
stead of FIVE. There being no
further business the meeting sd-
journed and a meeting of the di-
rectors was called. Mr. Pearson
rendered his resignation as a di-
rector, which was accepted and O.
A. Cook was Immediately appoint
ed to ill the vacancy. 1t was
then decided to hold a meeting of
the board Of directors next Satur
day and the board adjourned to
that date.

Connecticut.

Connecticut is a narrow strip of land
along Long Island oun which is used
as a right of way by several ines of
railroad and automobile speedways
leading into New York. 1t is a sort of
back porch to New York city in fact,
and its name Is q corruption of the
two words connect" and ticket" the
two principal topics of conversation
among a large majority OF the Cit
zens.
Connecticut Is a pleasant state filled
with pleasant towns which are any
where from 30 minutes to $50 years
away from New York. It's population
in the day time Is about 100000. but this
swells to over 1,000,0 600 at night, pro-
viding every one catches the last rain
home. Owing to the fact tina Broad
way is within easy walking distance.
almost all h big theatrical managers
try their new plays on Connecticut au-
diences. If the state ever becomes UNI
popular it will be because of the plays
which she did not discourage.
The chief products of Connecticut
are firearms, pocket knives and college
graduates. Connecticut is one OF the
most peaceable states in the union,
v having been known to turn a
rascal out, but 1t furnishes the weap-
Ons by means Of which the quarrels
OF the whole country are carried on.

Connecticut Is chiefly famous as
the seat OF Yale university. a mag
niicent institution OF learning which
is only scored upon about once in
every three years. Yale is situated
at New Haven except after a football
victory, when 1t Overf1ows into three
states. 1t contains $500 students, each
one of whom believes that h rest Of
