FROM POOR BOY To
WYOMING SHEEP KING
Incidents from the Life Of Tim Kinney, Who
Came to America a Poor Lad. but Now
Counts His Wealth in the Millions.

have done so well with a horse. 1t
would have taken me all day to round
up that bunch with COW pony. On
foot / got them all around that cabin
in fifteen minutes" Nevertheless, he
had learned his first lesson and bought
a saddle horse.
s'At the end of tine first year in the
cattle business" he said, ~ cleaned up
more money than l did all during my
years in the railroad work. l wonder
ed why had not started sooner. The
next year, though, l lost ii all and a
chunk with it. Then wondered why
| had started developing steers into
beef so soon."
The third year, however, went well
and Kinney prospered. Later, he
formed partnership with Ora Haley,
making what was then considered one
Of the strongest cattle combinations in
che state. Everything went well with
the firm until 1889. and then things
went wrong all at once. BY the end of
the year, Tim Kinney found that he
was poorer than when he was a car re-
pairer.
During his years in the railroad and
cattle business he had made name of
honesty and integrity for himself that
was now big assest. He had, during
his railroad years, fought dishonest
coal deals as he mad later battled
against dishonesty in the cattle bus,-
ness This was something. Men trust
ed him. On his mere name he borrowed
$15, 1000 and started in the sheep bust
ness This was twenty three years ago.
With this be founded the ranch al
Cokeville, Wyo., that has since become
famous in the sheep world Its 1900
acres have furnished the highest
priced sheep for the South Omada and
other markets. Kinney's ranch has be-
come known for the best that can be
bred in the range sheep line.
OF late years since he hecnme veal
thy in the sheep growing trade, Kim
ney has invested in other business ven-
lures. Men who know his business af-
fairs say that he has made over mil
lion dollars in the sheep game and made
it honestly. A few years agoa nations
publication of importance published a
page containg the names of American
millionaires who haye made their
money honestly. Among the not toe
lengthy list appeared the name of Tim
Kinney, Wyoming
At present Mr.. Kinney is president OF
large shoe house in Portland, Ore,
where his real estate interests are ex-
tensive, and banks at Rock Springs,
Wyo., Montpelier, Idaho and Spokane
Washington. He is the owner of big
hotel and apartment house in Salt Lake

published half page write up of Hon.
ETim Kinney of Cokeville The article
relates incidents in Mr.. Kinney's life
from the time he arrived in New York
City, poor lad from Ireland with IS
and ticket TO Wisconsin, up to the
present time. Lack of space prevents
MS from publishing the article in full,
but we believe that the following ex-
tracts from it will be read with inter
est by the many readers Of the Examin-
er, who are personally acquainted with
MIR Kinney:
''Af the age of Ia years, Tim Kinney,
back in County Mayo, Ireland, al
lowed the ideas Of freedom and oppor-
tunity in America to filter thru his ac-
tive young mind. His decision to
couple his fortune with those of the
land at the SUMS resting place was one
of short incubation. But the means
for the long journey was a different
matter. His parents were poor people
and he could not think of burdening
them with the money for his transpor-
tration. So he wrote to his uncle in
Wisconsin asking him to loan him
the money for passage and promising
to pay him back as soon as he reached
America.
The passage fare came in good time,
and with another lad of about the same
age the future sheep king of Wyoming
landed in New York City fifty one
years ago with $5 and ticket to hir
uucle's home in Wisconsin. The visi
BILE assests were small, but with his
stock of courage and determination tc
take fast hold of the main chance when
it came along his resources were un.

without means and decided to remain
in New York. So Tim gave him most
of the So and left for his uncle's home il
Wisconsin.
At the age of % years the call of the
west was strong within him and b,
said good-by to his uncle and started
for Wyoming, where he made up hi
mind he would succeed if success wa

His first venture was to purchase

JUDGE BUDGE OUT
FOR SUPREME JUDGE

In answer to the question rs to
whether or not he intended to form
ally announce his candidacy for the
supreme bench, the Pocatello Tri-
hume of last Monday, quotes Judge
Bulge as follows:
yielding to the solicitations of
friends in all parts of the state, it
might be proper, in justice to them,
for me to say that may decide to
become a candidate for the nomina-
ton on the Republican ticket for
the supreme bench. 1t has always
been my theory that the judiciary
should be kept out Of politics, and
have been oined in this theory by
the members of the bar of my DIS
trict, and have for two successive
terms been favored by them with
the nomination for the district bench.
and they have insisted that but one
candidate should be in the field.
Frankness compels me to state that
If 10 secure the nomination for the
supreme iudgeship it would involve
the sacrifice of my ideals of the
dignity that should attach to the
courts, or an appeal to anything ex-
cept to the best judgment of the
people of Idaho, | would not for a
moment consider ii"
In connection with the statement
from Judge Bulge the Tribune says:
aJudge Budge has been on the
bench of this judicial district for
nearly 10 years. lie was elected
first on the Republican ticket, and
at the expiration of his first term All

the election In his favor.- At the

was honored last year by an invita-
lion TO sit on the supreme bench,
being the first district called in
under the amendment to the consti-
ntion which authorized the calling

supreme bench wrote number Of

1t was explained in our last paper
that if an electric current is passed
through wire the effect of the cur
rent is to create n magnetic field in
air surrounding the wire. This mag
netic field extends for great distance
out into space, but rapidly grows
weaker as the distance from the wire
increases. Moreover the lines of
force are assumed to move around the
wire as central body, and with each
reversal of the current in the wire
the lines of force reverse their direc-
tion. This change in direction of the
magnetic field can be shown by hold
ing a small compass just over or
under wire carrying a direct cleo
trio current. The compass needle
will take position almost at right
angles to the wire. Now If the cur
rent is reversed in the wire the COM
pass needle will swing around and
point very nearly in the opposite
direction, showing that the effect of
/ UilO 10 w NihhR' bii1
direction of the magnetic lines of
force that act upon the compass.
Bearing the above facts In mind let
us now assume two pieces of wire of
any length placed within two or three
inches of each other throughout
their entire length. Let us further
assume that direct electric current
is passing through one of these wires.
The other wire will then be in the
magnetic field produced by the cur
rent i'm the first wire. If the current
in the first wire is shut off quickly
the magnetic lines of force surround
ing this wire will close in quickly,
and In doing this they will cut the
second wire. The result of this is to
generate current i'm the second wire
Here we have another example OF
! electromagnetic induction, or mutua
induction as it is commonly termed
. Ii the curreut is rapidly reversed 1t
the first wire (such as we obtain from
an alternating current generator) thu
l effect will be to produce an alternat
ing current in the second wire, it be
p ing necessary of course to have til,
4 terminals of the second wire connect
ed together, or to some electrical cir
: cult.

That he had been awarded first prize
IN an advertising contest Carried on
oy the Johnson Advertising Corpora
Ion OF Chicago among the high

universities of the country. ~s-s.+.
Last November the johnson: Cor.

competing for number of valuable
prizes to every high school in Amer
lea, special invitation being given
20 commercial high schools. Ad
writing being along the line of com.
nerclal training, Prof. NJ. E.. Pace,
the capable young head of the com
inefclal department of the local high
school, entered ten of his students in
the contest. The work was graded
in Chicago from Dec. 8 to Feb. /,
by committee Of judges chosen
from different universities, including
some OF the most noted advertising
experts IN the country There were
thousands of contestants, represent
ing every section of the Union. The
al written by young Folse was found
TO be the best submitted, and he was
accordingly awarded first prize.
This is indeed a signal honor for
NJ Folse, his school, the city OIL
and the entire state. 1
a measure of praise for the glorious
distinction achieved by the talented |
