DIRECTORS ELECTED
lille Laos County Agricultural Society
Elects Directors and Officers
for the Year 1912.
Number of Directors Increased From
Seven to Fifteen to Give
Better Representation.

The annual election of the board of
directors of the Mile Laos County
Agricultural association was held at
the Offices of Mcmillan & Stanley on
Friday evening, December 20, and the
following we're chosen: Andrew
Bryson, Frank Goulding, G. A. Jack,
S. S. Peterson, J. J. Skahen, G.. A.
Eaton, r. G. Dunn, Ira G. Stanley,
Princeton; Il. F. Mann, Cove; G. C..
Eberhardt, Milaca; Daniel ndberg,
Foreston; N. M. Peterson, Book;
George Schmidt, Princeton township;
o. q. Uglem, Greenbush; and Peter
Jensen, Bogus Brook. This increases
the number of members from seven to
fifteen, and the aim in so doing was
to give the county wider representa-
tion-to give all sections a voice in
the proceedings of the society.
Officers we're elected by the associa-
ton as follows: Andrew Bryson,
president; Frank Goulding, vice
president; G. A. Jack, treasurer; Ira
G. Stanley, secretary-the same
officers who served last year, and it
can be truly said that they performed
their duties faithfully. Nothing could
have been gained by electing other
officers, as the gentlemen chosen are
familiar with the work required.
Andrew Bryson, G. A. Jack and
Ira G. Stanley were appointed dele
gates to the annual meeting of the
state agricultural society which will
be held at the Merchants hotel, St..
Paul, on January 9.
The report of the auditing CON-
mittee was submitted, approved, and
ordered filed. The annual appropria-
ton from the state, amounting to
81: O66.50, has been received, which
enables the society to reduce its
liabilities to about. 81, $40, while its
property holdings are conserv atively
valued at S., 800.

of Embret Olson of Orrock, aged 81
years, 9 months and days. Mrs.

for she has gone to be with the Lord
she loved.
She leaves a husband, two small
children, an aged father, two sisters,
two brothers and a large number of
friends to mourn her loss.-Contrib-
uted by one who knew her. 49,.

pageant. 1t is only the extremely

who comes away from that stirring ex-

witnessed is a representation of Wy

With this development of Wyoming

and deliver the votes to the satisfac-

Pennsylvania steel and coal all over
again But aside from these excep-
lions, Wyoming is being developed in
the main rightly and progressively. l
refer particularly to the disposition of
agricultural lands to the small land
holder--the kind of immigrant for
which Wyoming is today advertising.
Irrigated land of the richest kind
with abundant water supply at from
$25 to 500 an acre is perhaps Wy
omins's best offer to the farmer. Such
land can be bought on easy terms and
from responsible parties-either from
the state itself. from the national gov

corporations under state control and
supervision. The crops said a

DEVELOPMENTS IN WYOMING.
Changes Since the Time of "The Vir-
ginian."

wyoming has been a state in regu-
lar standing in the Union since July
IL, 1890. Its area Of 1880 square
miles. 1t has been one of the few
really backward states in the country.
All the states around Wyoming and
admitted about the same time, have
increased much more rapidly in popu-
lation than it has. Colorado gained
100000 people between 1890 and 1900
and 100000 in the last decade Idaho
gained 10000 population, or doubled,
from 1890 to 1900, and doubled it's
population again between 1900 and
1910. Montana gained over 100000 in
each of the last two decades South
Dakota gained $4,000 and 100000 in
the last two decades.
Only one state in 1900 had smaller
population or smaller density per
square mile, and at the same period
over half of its population of $4,000
was lodged in the Platte river basin in
the southeastern corner. Other evil
denees of the newness and sIowness of
Wyoming to develop is found in the
excess of men over women--a phe-
nomenon characteristic of its indus
trial life. Since the census of 1900
the increase has brought it up higher
in the ranks, with between 100000 and
100000, showing that change is in
prospect at last. 1t is the realizing
sense of this past deficiency which is
prompting Wyoming today to bestir it
self for it's own material aggrandize-
ment.
Wyoming today is not the Wyoming
of owen Wisters "Virginan" In
deed, the Wyoming of that book had
already passed in 1902, when the vol
ume was written. The great free
ranges had gone; the day of the small
farmer and the irrigation ditch had be-
gun This meant much. The eco
monte structure of life changed with
this change. The beef raiser who
pastured his stock over quarter of
state passed away, and with him went
the cowboy as literature knows him
the hard working, hard living pie
turesque cowboy riding recklessly in
the round ups and tramping, in
chappes and spurs, into the hosptable
and frequent saloon. Frontier day, a
show held annually in the late summer
at Cheyenne, is about the only time
and place where you see cowboys and
COW punching as they used to be.

was administered in some mysterious

the life of valuable dog that had

that the perpetrator of the outrages
