BILL FOUND.
The Long Lost Bill Supposed to Have
Been Stolen BY Representative
Hunter Of this County

Friday the "Womeu's and Chill.
dren's Eight Hour" bill was found,
after two years of discussion over
the matter, and it was discovered
in the vault of the Secretary oil
States office. Just how it came
there and how it became lost is
hard to say outside of the fact that
it must have been carried with a
lot of the Senate papers at the
close of the session into Houx's
Office and was put away with the
rest of the stuff and never noticed
1t was not only impossible for Rep.
resentative Hunter of this county
to have taken it but it was always
improbable to those who new the
man. We hope that this clears
the matter up enough 30 that the
people who have blamed Mr.. Hun
ter with the disappearance of the
bill, will at least ask his forgiveness
for their unjust accusations.
Senate File No. SO, is a good
one and relates to the + pealing of
the Direct Primary law, and re-
Installing the nomination by Con-
vention. 1t is more than likely
that it will never see the light of
day, aud should it be fortunate
enough to pass both branches of
the Legislature, Gov. Carey will
land it with his broad-axe. If this
bill could be gotten through and
signed, doing away with the pri-
mary, we could cure some of the
irregularities which have been
brought about by the primary law.
There is, of course, a way to RENE
dy the evil of the primary law and
make it bearable and certainly one
of the two ought to be done, either
amend it and make something out
of it or repeal it.
Forgot Pledge.
We were informed yesterday
morning that the House were con-
sidering a bill to cut Carbon coun-
ty up. The bill, as we understand
it, is to take a piece off the eastern
part, taking in the Medicine Bow
and Elk Mountain country and a
slice off Albany county on the west
and making a nice little county all
by itself, with the intention of
making Elk Mountain the county
seat. 1t was limited that Repre-.
sentative Hunter and McGrew of
this county were back of the bill.
If that is the case neither one of
the men care much for prediction
pledges. This was charged up
against them before election and
they denied any intention of such
a move, and stated fatty that they
We're not in favor of cutting up
this county for some time to come
nor would they attempt any such
a move during this session of the
Legislature. If they have broken
their pledge to the people they
ought to meet with defeat ON their
measure as we'll as to be counted
with the dead ones in the future
80 for as politics are concerned.
Ii these men have broken their
word they should explain,
Gov. Peaved q Trifle.
Governor Carey vetoed the joint
resolution to investigate the Wyo
ming General Hospital at Rock
Springs and other state institu,
lions. He came back with a letter
addressed to the house in which he
pulled a little wool out of his own
head. He roasted the house proper
and gave them to understand tina,
any bill or resolution calling fol
any such Investigation of any in
stitutlon under the Board of Chair.
Ties and Reform or any other boarc
OF which he was the head, would
meet with his veto. He does no
propose to be investigated MOI
nave any investigation made o
anything he has anything to d.
with. So tbara W. lie,
