A Good Candidate for Supervisor

There are three candidates for
the Office Of Road Supervisor at
the coming primary, one OF whom
is a young man, born in Iowa and
raised here in the southern part
of Carbon county-Clark d. Will

years of age. During the time
his father, C. M. Wilcox, was de-
putty road supervisor, Clark had
charge of much of the work, and
he never made a rod of road, or
put in a culvert that wasn't on the
square. He is an energetic
young man, absolutely straight
knows what he wants to do-and
does it. There is, in these times,
as in time of Ceasar, a crying need
for square" men to look after the

A friend of Hon. Andrew Olson

writes The Tribune:
ANDREW Olson came from
Sweden many years ago, a poor

consequence. He employs more
men than any other individual in
Carbon county, and perhaps in
Wyoming. He is a quiet, unas-
Stunning gentleman, and is known
among his employees as "White

getting more work out of a man
than most people. His men vie
with one another to see how much

ger and one of the chief owners of
the Carbon Timber company,
which furnishes the millions of
ties and mine props used by the
Union Pacific Railroad company
and the coal mines along it's line.
"You would suspect, from this
description, that perhaps he is an
honorable man. That suspicion
is well-founded, and his word is as

Mystery Of the Cliff Dwellers

Mrs. n. L.. Wilcox is in receipt
of a letter recently from her son,
Horace G.. Wilcox, in which he
gives a most interesting descrip-
ton of a trip he took down Green
River Canyon with some friends
in a motor boat, and from which
the Sun has permission to extract
a few lines. The Larty went in
to that historic canyon ITO miles,
they were compelled to turn back.
Mr.. Wilcox says the houses of the
people who lived on the face of
those predendicular cliffs were
small and shaped like bee hives,
indicating that the people who
lived in them were small. This
belief is further sustained by hand
prints, which they had made with
paint on the rocks, which were
the size of that of a 5-year-old
child, As these houses were per-
ched on shelves, or lodges of the
rock, 100 feet up from the ground,
it is hard to understand how they
ever got to them. The party COL

and used by those little people.

FOR BETTER COUNTY ROADS
A Correspondent oalls Attention to the
Fact that law Provides for Dis

The law in regard to the care
and work on County roads and
bridges, as now on the Wyoming
Compiled Statutes, is very plain
and we'll adapted to all locations
in each county, and it has been q
great oversight of our County
Commissioner in performing
their duty not to have complied
with this law. Sec .2547 Wyom
ing Compiled Statutes reads:
"The board of County Commits
sioners may divide their county
in to road districts. Sec. 254S
reads: "When the County is divid-
into road districts then shall be
elected at each general election
for county officers, a district road
supervisor for each district"
This is all very plain and an &C.
onomical law which should be il
effect all over our country. Each
road district should have road
tools such as wheel scrapers, plows
and a road grader to work with,
which would be a great labor

THE PERSHING APPOINTMENT
colonel Roosevelts Letter Disprevss the Campain Lies Circulated
by Democratic Newspapers.

Democratic newspapers Ut the unprinciped and infamous type
ave attempted in times gone by, and in more recent days also, says
The Sheridan Post, to make political capital out of the fact that Gen.
bral Pershing, of the regular army, who bears the relationship of son.
.nlaw to Senator Francis E. Warren, was during the administration
y President Roosevelt advanced to the rank of brigadier general. dis.
.inctly for having rendered conspicuous and meritorious service to
hs country in the Philippines.
Those democratic papers charge that the promotion was due
(olely to the fact OF the officers relationship to Senator Warren and
o the futher fact that Senator Warren was at the time chairman of
'he committee on military affairs of the senate.
1t is expected that democratic newspaper will make reckless ard
J times untrue statements and some of them will go so far as to de-
fberately fasfy where Senator Warren is concerned, if by such
beans they can make a political point.
80 many OF the democratic misrepresentation, like chickens,
pave come home to roost and by the ides of November the entire
)ok will have been gathered in, there is no harm in hastenIng the
5ood work, by sending home some more.
From no less high authority than Colonel Roosevelt himself is

WASHINGTON LETTER
Senator Warren waits for a Vessel wor-
thy Of the name "wyoming"-Mon.
tana Prouds Of Warren

For the past month the word
wyoming" has been most popu-
lar in naval circles, and form one
end of the world to the other the
telegraph has carried the story of
the wonderful speed attained by
the battleship bearing the name
of Wyoming. This great vessel
o~utsailed her sister, the Arkansas,
and holds the title for out speed
ing any battleship a1oat. Years
ago Senator Warren started in to
get a big battleship named after
his state. As each was proposed
he went over the plans with this
in view He was offered several
as fit bearers of the title, but re-
fused to accept until the great
~battleship just completed was
proposed. Here was a ship worthy
of the name "Wyoming"-and
while the people of the state are
congratulating themselves on the
wonderful speed attained by this
sea monster bearing the states
name, it should not be overlooked
that this fact was made possibly
through the i~nsistence of Senator
Warren-otherwise the state
would have been put of with one
of the second class bonts.
In the senate recently Senator
Reed of Missouri was violently op-
posing Senator Warren's attempt
to secure adequate appropriations
for road building and improve
ment in the National park and
various forest reserves. In the
course of his remarks the Senator
from Missouri referred to Senator
Warren as "the senator from Mon
tana." Seeking to facetiously
account for his slip of the tongue,
he told the senate he "would apo
logic to the people Of Montana
for installing the name of the
state of the Senator from Wyom-
ing" At the conclusion of this
statement Senator Myers, a Mon
tans democrat, said: II merely
rise to say that when it comes to
proficiency in securing appropais-
tons 1 wish very much that he
did represent the state of Montana.
We would be very glad to have
him, and would be proud of him"

LAST WILL OF THE SENIOR
CLASS OF O. M. A. 1912

All the other wills made by the
Senior Glass previous to this are,
according to the laws of the state
of Arkansas, null and void, this be
ing the last legal will made by said
class.
We, the Senior class of o. NJ. A.,
beng, at this time in full possession
of our minds, and knowing that the
end is near at hand when we must
depart from the associations of our
fellow. .school-mates of the lower
classes, namely, Freshmen, Sopho-
mores, and Juniors, do file the fol-
lowing will, this May 25th, 1912,
before the proper authorities
To the Freshman class the mem.
bers of which have helped to
brighten our past with their smiling
faces, and winning ways, and who
have furnished us with endless
amusement by their abundance Of
ignorance, we bequeath a dish Of
brains, hoping, yet doubling, that
they will use them to better advan-
tage than they used their own dur
ing the past year.
To the Sophomores, who have al
ways looked with envy at US who
are at the top of the hill, we, IN
remembrance of the happy days
spent IN their society, and knowing
their needs so well, bequeath to
them a copy of the alphabet, be.
lieving that it is of vital Importance
that they should have a more
thorough knowledge of their letters.
We also suggest that they share
with the Freshmen their dish of
brains.

we now surrender our place, being

had none.
But there are those who have
both influence through life and un.
ending praises after death; there are
those who have by their ability
inspired the admiration of the
people and held it by the purity of
their character. 1t is often
remarked that some men have a
name greater thsn their works will
justify; the secret lies in the men
themselves. Perhaps we could not
find better illustrations of the
power and worth of character than
are presented In the lives of our
own countrymen names about which
cluster in most sacred nearness the
affections of the American People
honored dust over which have fallen
the truest tears of sorrow ever shed
by nation for It's heroes the father
and the savior of their common
country-the one, the appointed
guardian of Its birth, the other, the
preserver, of its life.
Both were reared by the hands Of
providence for the work entrusted
to their care, both were led by
nature along the rugged path of
poverty; both formed a character
which stood mistaken amid the
terrors of war and the tranquility
of peace; a character which allowe d
neither cowardice upon the battle
field nor tyranny in the presidential
chair. Thus did they win the hearts
of their countrymen and prepare
for shemselves a lasting place of
rest in the tender memories of a
grateful people.
History but voices our own ex-
perience when 1t awards to true
nobility of character the highest
place among the enviable posses
slons of man.
Nor is 1t the gift of fortune. In
this, at last, we are not creatures OF
circumstances; talent, special genius
may be the gift of nature; position
in society the gift of birth; respect
may be bought with wealth; but
neither one nor all of these can
give character. 1t is a slow but
sure growth to which every thought
and action lends its aid. To form
character is to form grooves In
which are to flow the purposes OF
our lives. 1t is to adopt principles
which are to be the measure of oul
actions, the criteria Of our deeds
This we are doing each day, either
consciously or unsciously.
1t Is the law Of mind that it acts
most readily IN familiar paths
hence, repetition forms habit, and
almost before we are aware, we are
chained to a certain routine OF
action, that it may be pure, anc
conform our lives more nearly to
that Perfect Model, we shall form q
character that will be a fit back
ground on which to paint the noblest
deeds and the grandest intellectual
and moral achievements; character
that can not be concealed, but which
will bring success in this life and
form the best preparations for that
which is beyond.
The formation of character is 9
work which continues through life,
but at no time Is 50 active as in
youth and early manhood. AT
this time impressions are most easily
made, and mistakes most easily

However high our names may be

VALEDICTORY

We have emines i'll higher life

sire TO seem, rather than to be, Is
one Of the faults which our age as
well as other ages, must deplore.
Appearance too often takes the
place Of reality-tbe stamp of the
coin is there, and the glitter of the
gold. after all, it is but a worthless
wash. Sham is carried into every

The counterfeit, however, only
proves the value of the true coin,
and, although reputation may in
some degree be taking the place of
character; yet the latter has lost
none of its worth, and, now, as of
old is a priceless gem, wherever
found. Its absence and presence,
alike, prove its value. Have you
not conversed with those whose

well-Gramed sentences failed to con
ceal a certain indescribable some.

something is want of character, or,
TO speak more truly, the possession
of bad character, and it shows
itself alike in nations and IN indl

TO have robbed fortune of her secret
