Home Mission Profram.

The program of the Home Mis-

in the Presbyterian church was

filled and some had chairs in the
back of the building. The pro-
gram opened at 1870 with song by
choir and congregation, this was
followed by a scripture lesson and
prayer by Mrs. Kirlin. The child
rem followed next with a song.
"Jesus is Winning the World To-
day" Mrs. Winsor's paper on
Home Mission Week was interest

Feveryone a clearer view of the
Home Mission movement. The
solo by Mrs. Kirlin vas very nice.

for their speaking and songs. Miss
Burnett favored the congrpation

Mrs. Jensen. Miss Bessie WEIGH
gave a recitation entitled "Forty
Gents a Year." The program was
ended by a song by the entire con-
gregation and the Lords prayer.
An Offering was taken up for the

Don't Read This

The subject that we ars taking
up, is not for us. Those that
think so, may and those that do,
had better look to their future.
This is a matter that confronts us
every day of the year, every hour
of the day and every minute of
the hour. Some people look upon
it with disgust, simply because
they do not like the men who
handle it. Some people look up
on it as an act of charity. Others
do not understand it. The man
in business who should know its
value, is lots of times short sight
ed. Not the man that uses it and
uses it right, charity to him CON-
mences at home.
Why do the big manufacturers
spend several hundred thousand
dollars on it every year. Pay
men big salaries to look-after that
one feature of their business. The
Wholesale and retail stores of the
cities pay from $50 to $500 a day
each, for its services and yet men
tell you it doesn't pay, Why my!
politicians cry for it! If it pays a
man to sell goods, it certainly
must pay better if he sells more
goods and he is invariably, al
ways looking for plore sales. One
man in Chicago gets a salary of
s25,OOO.OO per year for what he
knows about it. The Studebaker
Corporation has just paid $500
for one days service of it. Do
you think that they did it as an
act of charityp
Do you think that here in the
United States where millions of
dollars are spent for it every year
by the Nations smartest men, that
it don't pay? No matter how
small, no matter how big, it pays
for ITSELF according to its size.
What is itP Obi nothing. Just
Advertising. Tut, tut. We told
you not to read this.

A Broken Lei.

Louis Peterson was brought in
from the Elk Horn mine Friday
by George Graft suffering with a
broken leg. He was working in
the mine and a large rock fell
from the wall and caught his leg
between it and a log mashed the
leg up in pretty bad shape and
breaking the leg just above the
ankle. He was taken to the Wolf
hotel and DIR. Price was called and
set it and administered aid to the
suffering man. Mr.. Peterson lives
at Encampment and wanted to go
up there to remain during his en-
forced idleness. DR.. Price pre-
pared him so that he could be
moved up there and he went up
on the train Saturday morning
and he will receive care from DIR.

The Corlett Coal Mines

j. M. Corlett came in the first
Of the week from the coal mines
to rest up a few days and get
cured up from a bad cold. He
has been most of the summer de-
yeloping his mines and getting in
shape to supply this valley with
coal. They are working both the
upper and lower mine with a force
of ten men. They are turning
out about twenty-five tons of coal
per day and then they are hard
ly supplying the demand. The
mines are in from 225 to $50 feet
each in both mines and are getting
out q splendid quality of coal.
They are supplying 3. & E. two
cafs per week. They now have
everything in good working shape
and r doing we'll. MI. Corlett
deserves credit for his management
of the affair and has worked pretty
hard for the past year to get them
up to the present standard. They
have only about 30 inches Of coal
in each mine.

new WAGON ROAD.
1900 to be Spent BY Government on Road
construction Between Saratoga and
Centennial Across the Mountains.

Teu per cent of the gross re-
CENT received from Forest reserves
in this state has been set aside to
construct roads between principal
towns on either side of certain re-
serves. In the amounts set aside
in this state Saratoga get $500
which will be spent in building a
road between Saratoga and Gen.
|tennial across the Medicine Bow
National Forest. This road will
give us a straight line into Lara
mic city and will shorten the dis
lance considerable. While it will
only be available during the last
months of the summer and early
fall. it will be at the time of year
when traffic will be the greatest
and will be one of the most beauti-
ful routes in the west. 1t will
probably be built early next year
and will be passable next fall.
Three other routes will be built in
state, also by the government
in the same manner,in the Big
horn Forest, Bonneville Forest,
and Sundamce Forest, connect
ing several of the principal cities
IN the different localities. The
approval of these routes was made
BY the government on the 21st of
his month and they were located
'y the state engineer and assis-
ant district forester.

Womens Club Meeting.

Saturday the Womens Club gave
their annual Thanksgiving Meet
ing at the residence Of Mrs. d. E.
Windsor. 1t was a great success
in every way and was a novel fea-
ture this year. Each one of the
members invited two guests and
in addition to the regular program,
NJ usic and thanksgiving papers
were given by different members.
There were about twenty present
including guests. The papers on
thanksgiving we're little features
of special interest and the gather
ing was favored with music and
singing by Mrs. Hays and Mrs.
Dyer. The novel feature this year
though, was the feast of good
things served, which consisted OF
baked beans, Boston brown bread,
and baked apples and fruit cake
with coffee. If that don't make
you want to be a member OF the
Womans Club we know of nothing
that will. 1t is easily understood
that all present had a splendid

MONTHLY DIGEST
of Important Law Points Recently Dsei-
dsd BY the Secretary Of the Inter
Tor for October, 1919.
homestead.


No preference right of entry can
be acquired by c~ontesting an In
dian homestead entry and such
contest al be permitted only by
consideration of the same by the
Commission.
A mere settlement upon public
land unaccompanied by an asser-
ton of claim in the Land Depart
ment, does not appropriate the
land from settlement on entry.
A foreign corporation which has
improved and possesses town lots
in an Indian reservation aud ac-
tually conducts thereon its bust
ness in the state, clearly has a resi-
dence on the lots 80 far as a. resi-
dence thereon is possible for a
foreign corporation, and may hold
such lots.
After a complete Abandonment
of an entry, subjecting it to cancel
lation, on contest or government
proceedings, the former entryman
does not forfeit benefits of the act
of Feb. Bird, 1911 simply by sale
of such of his improvements as
are in fact movable, at a sun less
than cost and we'll within the rea-
sonable value.
The rule of approximation is a
rule merely of administrative ex-
pediency and not of right. In
deed, the legality of its application
is in many cases at least doubtful.
1t is a general principle that
a purchaser with improvements
is entitled to redeem his default
where no express forfeiture with
out right to redeem is imposed.
Desert Lands.
Where, on account of i'll health
and advanced age of the applicant,
annual proof on a desert land en-
try was executed before an officer
residing outside of the land DIS
trict, such technical violation of
the law may, upon proper show
ing, be submitted to the Board of
Equitable Adjudication.
One of the conditions governing
homestead entries within reclama-
ton projects is that they shall be
conformed and divided into such
farm units as the Secretary of the
Interior may decide to be each adj
equate for the support of a family
The right of entry being limited
to a single entry, it is evident that
the law does not contemplate an
assignment which will permit the
aquisition of two or more units
the title of which has not passed
from the government.
The act Of June 9th, 1906. ap-
plies only to entrymen who have
been directly or indirectly delayed
or prevented from carrying out
their own projected plans and
works for obtaining a water sup
ply, through interference Of the
government in entering upon a
reclamation project.
