Death Of Mrs. CONFESS

Mrs. Dora M. CONFESS died at a
private hospital in Cheyenne at
five o'clock Sunday morning,
Sept. 10Th, presumably from in
Jures received from an outrage
committed Old her at her home
stead near Cheyenne about four
years ago. The body was buried
at that place Wednesday afternoon
after funeral services at the Pres.
byterian church.
Mrs. CONFESS was Miss Dora
Hawk, a teacher of prominence
and one universally respected.
She is survived by her husband,
l. M. CONFESS, of Encampment,
her sister, Mrs. Andrew Ring, of
Hawarden, Ia, and her brother,
Fletcher Hawk, a Professor in the
Lebanon, Ohio, University. She
wa we'll known and universally
loved in the Saratoga Valley and
every one who knew her will read
these lines with deep regret. In
closing a notice of her death the
Wyoming Tribune used the fol-
lowing touching language:
"The news of her death will
recall to the minds of every.
one, the details of the sad
ness, the WEAKNESS, the ter
ror and the tragedy, which
ent red into her blsmeless,
patient life
The last years of her life
were those of undeserved suf-
ferinR, but death came gently
and tenderly as though the
very roughness of the road
had brought a more welcome
peace at the journeys end"

Presbyterian Pastor Leaves

Rev. Ii. G.. Clair, the pastor of
the Presbyterian church, who has
been in charge since last spring,
left Tuesday morning for Nebr-
aska, where he goes to join his
wife and son who went there
some weeks ago. Mrs. Clair cam
not stand to live at this altitude
and she will also have to undergo
an operation of a severe character
which will necessitate her husband
being near. For that reason Rev.
Clair asked his church to relieve
MIN Sunday night from any fur
Their service, which it did at once,
thus enabling him leave for Nebr-
asks at once.

A fine Birthday Party

A very pleasant little party was
given Monday afternoon by Mrs.
g. C. Hickok to her little daugh-
ter Mallie, who had attained the
dignity of a ive-year-old oil that
date Miss Mallie is a dainty
little Miss and the pride and JOY
of her parents and her first birth
day party marked an era in her
little existance. There we're cakes
and ices and other danties with
which to regale the small men and
women who we're her guests
The event is still the subject oil
delightful Renaissance in Miss
Mallies' circle of little friends.

Fish Hatchery Papers Signed

Both g. M. Scribner and the
Lake Greek Ranch Company have
entered into a written contract
with the Government for the land
and water necessary for the Fish
Hatchery to be established three
piles north of town. The papers
were signed within the past week
and as this was all that was lacking
to complete the matter it is likely
that work on the hatchery will
begin within the next 30 days,

Mr.. McKilip said the Carbon County exhibit attracted a great

Ito him to know if he could not have some of the exhibit for display in a
building to be filed with Western exhibits in Chicago. Mr.. McKil.

A Wyoming Jackpot
Communicated }

The famous Lorimer jackpot
promises to look like thirty cents
compared with the proportions of
the Wyoming jackpot which has
been raised to try aud down War
rem,
Regardless of law immense
sums are being pooled into a jack
pot to corrupt Wyoming politics.
This is the first time a corrup-
tion fund has been used in Wyo-
ming since 1928 when A. L
New and John E. Osborne poured
money into the Senatorial camp
align to defeat John Charles Thorn
pson for the Senate.
The contributions to the Wyo-
ming jackpot flow from the barl's
of the millionaires who are fight
ing Warren, augmented by a part
of what is left of the $4,000 ap-
preparation for the State Immi-
grafton fund.
Some of the uses to which the
jackpot fund are being put are:
First-To keep alive and run
ming the two newspaper sewers
which are maintained to vilify
Warren. These papers are pull
ling ON the fund to the extent of
from five hundred to a thousand
dollars a week as their legitimate
business income fails utterly to
maintain them.
Second-To purchase news
papers to support the Bull Moose
party and thus further aid in
efforts to beat Warren.
Third-To meet the payroll ex-
penses of Sheridan Downey-he
says $500 a yehr-and IF Charlie
Winter-his friends say 5000.
Fourth-To pay Golfers and
other undertaking Eastern mag
azines for throwing mud at Wyo'
ming men and Wyoming institu-
lions. 1t took $4,000 out of the
jackpot to pay Golfers for it's at
tack on Warren.
This jackpot corruption fun q
business is new to Wyoming pol.
itics and it is sad commentary OF
the alleged purity and upright
ness of it's originators, the mil
lionaires who are responsible fol
it.

That immigration Fund
Communicated

Whe, the last Wyoming Legis.
%lature convened a doleful alarm
was sounded by the Governor tina,
Wyoming was going backward
and that all that would save it
from again becoming a cattle and
sheep range would be intelligent
efforts to bring in immigrants and
settlers.
The Legislature took the Cover
nor at his word aud established
what was intended to be a nom
partisan immigration board plac
ing forty thousand dollars at it's
disposal to advertise the State.
The members of the board for
most part were non-partisan but
these members Of the board have
been mere fgure-heads and the
actual board has been and is the
Commissioner, Mr.. Schenck, a
colorado importation and a par
tisan of the most extreme type.
Mr.. Schenck has had carte
blanche in the expenditure of the
forty thousand dollar fund and in
the twenty months he has held
the job of Immigration Commits
sioner he has galloped through the
appropriation until now there is
barely enough of it left to pay his
salary for the remaining four
months of his term of office.
How has the fund been expend-
ed?
AS near as can be gathered from
the jumbled up returns made by
the Immigration Commissioners to
the State Auditor a good slice of
the fund went to printing shops
outside of Wyoming for pamph-
let's relating to Wyoming's re-
sources.
A tremendous slice was thrown
to the winds in bringing a party
of Eastern newspaper men to the
State and entertaining them with
such lavish hospitality that the
East stood aghast at Wyoming's
prodigality. Special railroad
trains, scores of automobiles, pack
and wagon trains, banqnets and
entertainments, ate into the forty
thousand dollar fluid like a Chi
nook wind eats into a snowbank
Then came the land shows af-
fording nice junketing trips for
the Immigration Commissioner,
more banquets, more write-ups in
New York, Chicago and Pittsburg
newspapers with exclusive city
circulations.
The land show strain on the
fluid was pretty hard and when
the last show closed, the last ban
quet was eaten and the last bottle
of champagne craked. the fund
might be clsssed as being some-
what ''groggy."
The latest use to which the fraz-
zled out remnant of the fund was
placed in the effort to bring i'm
migrants to Wyoming was to in
vest part of it in the Golfers
undertaking article which bespat-
tered mud on Wyoming and Wyo-
ming citizens. The clerical force
of the immigration Commits
sioner's Office made a copy of the
list in the Secretary of States
Office of Wyoming citizens who
signed Senator Warren's nominal
ing petition and furnished Col
lier's with the list for use in send
ing it's blackmailing edition to
Wyoming,
Only the attenuated condition
of the immigration fund prevent
ed a larger expenditure from it to
bring immigrants to Wyoming
through the medium of that friend
of Wyoming, Golfers
The net e ults: Practically the
entire immigration fund has been
dissipated. There has been no let
or bindrance on the manner of it's
expenditure: Mr.. Schenck had

1t will be seen from the above state

And now let me say something. my
dear Mrs. Keitt. about what our six
or seven hundred devoted workers
here In the District OF Columbia have
accomplished in this work, not by
way of Boosting. but as an incentive
to those elsewhere who may read this
letter. While helping our poorest, at
tending to our sick, and often defray-
ing burial expenses OF the veterans.
who are rapidly dying of, we have
contributed far more towards the
monument than has any single State.
South Caroiinians. prompted by
you, are doing well. They are vast
past, but they are daily gathering
strength for the great part they are
to play in the future OF the greatest
people in the world, by keeping al
ways fresh in mind the heroism Of
those who dared all and sacrificed all
for the faith OF their fathers. 1t was
Edmund Burke who truly said, PEG
pie will not look forward to pos
terity, who never look hack to their
ancestors"
For myself, while now proud to be
an Albanian, ! am also proud to re-
member that l am a native OF South
Carolina: and the appeals for our
monument you have been making to
the school children touch my heart
