Honest.

A story is told on a young man who
was married recently to the daughter
of wealthy merchant. The bride
groom did not have cent, but he
made up for lack of wealth in honesty.
He was so very honest that he would
not even prevaricate in the marriage
ceremony.
He was repeating what the minister
read: with all my worldly goods l
thee endow."

TItanIo cIaIms Are Invalid.

Washington, May 26-Because the
Titanic struck an iceberg rather than
another British steamship, the SUI
preme court today held that the
owner, the Oceanic Steam Navigation
company, was entitled to have its
liability for loss of life and property
in suits brought in American courts
limited in accordance with American
maritime law. This means that those
who sue in American courts will get
virtually nothing, the law limiting
liability to the salvage from the
wreck, and the passenger and freight
money collected for the voyage-about
$4,000 in all. The total claims
Against the compny have reached S1s.-

OF one of his valses Mattel used to

him with the request that he would

Love Of the Forest.

The only way to love the forest is
to stay in it, until you have learned
its painless travel, growth and inhabi-
tants as you know the fields. You
must begin at the gate and find your
way slowly, else you will not hear the
great secret and see the compelling
vision. There are trees you never be-
fore have seen, flowers and vines the
botanists fail to mention, and such
music as your ears cannot hear else

Fine Chicken Supper.

The Ladies' Aid gave a fine
chicken supper Thursday evening
in the Presbyterian church. The
Aid Society always give a bazaar
and chicken supper in December
each year, and this vas by far the
biggest of it's kind. The
Aid cleared over $40 after paying
all expenses, and they sold every
article they had on sale at the
booths. The supper was excel
lent, and there was plenty left at
ter all had been amply fed. Mrs
Frank White, the president, un'
der whose supervision this was
given, deserves great credit for
the ice of the occasion.

TO BUILD
HATCHERY
Archie Allison Of Cheyenne was Recently
Awarded the Contract for the Govern
meat Fishery Station Here.

Last week Archie Allison, the
/. big contractor from Cheyenne,
WAS awarded the contract for the
1 constr uction of the fish culture
buildings at this place. Mr.. Alli-
SOIL will undoubtedly commence
work very shortly, as the contract
calls for a completion of this set
of buildings within 200 days from
the date of letting the contract,
and this means that the buildings
must BIZ complete before the LIST
of next July.
The main hatchery building
will be 32x70, one and one-half
story, and frame in structure. The
ground floor will be all cement
and will be used as the hatchery
room, while the upper floor will
be used as sleeping apartments
for the fish culture men. The su-
perintendent's residence will be a
very fine two-story, S-room bnn-
galow, with all modern improve.
ments. The other building will
be the very best obtainable.
This takes the hatchery bust
ness clear out of the political
game, and we hope to see the men
who have yelled political dope"
take off their coats and get un-
der" and help make this one of
the big stations of the government
and concentrated work on our part
with the aid of Mondell and War
rem, we can make this a 100000
station and the best in the U. s.,
and we hope these men who have
been bucking will have the stuff
in them to lay it aside for once
and help the town and valley.
Politics is a great game, but it
won't do to mix it with good bus
mess.

Wyoming University Notes.

The Agricultural Club is en-
joying one of the most prosper
GUS years in its history. 1t is one
of the most practical and helpful
of any Of tine student organiza-
tions. The club has rooms of it's
own in the new Agricultural Hall,
where it holds it's weekly meet
ings. Interesting and valuable
talks by the different agricultural
experts of the University, as we'll
as discussions on important agri-
cultural topics among the MEM
bers themselves, make the meet
ings highly instructive. All the
students of the Agricultural Col
lege are invited to membership.
Arrangements have been made
for the Agricultural Colleges an
nual short, which will be held in
the first half of January. This
course will be made distinguished
by the presence of several officers
of the Federal department of Ag-
riculture. Farm management, as
well as markets, stock diseases,
etc, will be topics of discussion
for the men. For the women,
there will be special instructors
in home economics.
The fact that the University
Commercial department offers two
kinds of courses should prove of
interest to all those who are con
templating work along this line.
One course is open to those who
have completed the tenth grade.
The other is a regular collegiate
course for those who desire ad-
vanced work in accounting, etc +,
which is open only to students of
regular collegiate standing. Pro-
fessor r. E. Berry, of California,
is this year at the head of the de-
partment in the place of Profess
sor E. Deane Hunton, who is on
a years leave of absence, taking
work at Harvard.

The Miracle.

Consider the Pumpkin.
1t hideth itself amidst the grow
ing corn.
1t is the lowliest of all things
that groweth in the fields.
The proud Farmer spurneth it
and the Small Boy laugheth it to
scorn.
The Wise Men of the Agricul-
tural College lectureth not upon
it. Never hath it caused a car
shortage.
The bugs devoureth it not and
the beetles and the worms and the
moths and the weevils and all the
mighty host that preyeth upon
the naughty Corn and the Wheat
and the Spuds, give it the go-by.
Behold it is the Goat OF the
Vegetable Kingdom.
Yet there cometh a day when
the wife of the husbandman cut
teth the Pumpkin into golden
squares and boileth it in the syr-
up of the sugar-cane and addeth
thereunto sweet spices, yea even
cinnamon and cloves and ginger.
And Lo! A miracle is wrought.
She bringeth forth from the
oven the Pumpkin Pie, and the
odor thereof is sweeter than the
breezes from Dutch.
Aud the husbandman and the
small boy and the Hired Man fall
eth down in alteration and water
eth at the mouth.
For it is a morsel fit for Kings
and Princes.
You know it.

Washington News.

Washington, Dec. S-Will the
present congress before adjourn
ment on March 4th pass a public
building bill? A "pork barrel'
rivers and harbors bill? Will
there be an extra session. Will
it retrench all the way down the
line, to conform to the general
idea that the world situation de-
mands the strictest economy?
These are the questions upper
most here as congress opens for
the brief three-month session be-
fore it must end by constitutional
provision. You can get as many
answers as three to some of the
above questions, and two to every
one of them. As a matter of fact
1t would be a prophet indeed who
could correctly foretell what will
happen.
Will there be a public build
lngs bill? More members say
no" to this than "yes"-but the
fact remains that many members
were reelected on the strength of
a promise like Francis j. Heaney
made to his California people
TO bring home the bacon" Some
OF these members are in position

and realizing that failure on their
part to bring home the bacon

All OF the above will apply eq-
"ally well as an answer to the sec
ohd query. Members from rivers

The Wooden Leg and the Ford

Of all the new stories that orig
mate each and every day, the
Ford comes in for about as much
attention as anything of late years.
We have heard many, some of
them good ones, but very few
would look good in print. Here is
one that is not so bad, though:
There was an old man,
And he had a wooden leg,
No ride could he steal,
No ride could he beg.
So he took four spools
And an old coal hod,
And he built a Ford,

Finished Ditch

A gang of men, under the man.
agement of @. A. Bremerman, ar
rived here in September with
horses and machinery and went to
work on the Fitzgerald ditch,
which comes out of French and
Brush creek. They flew at it in a
business-like manner, and this
week completed the work and the
ditch is all in shape, with the ex-
ception of one or two minor head
gates to turn water on three thous-
and acres of land. Had this COM
pany secured Mr.. Bremerman
sooner, they could have had this
work done some time ago at a
much less cost.
The land will be opened to en-
try next spring to homesteaders
and at this time about 5000 acres
will be available. Later on they
expect to cover about 10000 acres,
but the venture will depend upon
the ucces of the present acreage.
This ditch is a very good piece of
work and while expensive, it will
be lasting. The water is ample
and the land good soil, and there
is little question but what the
land will be quickly settled up.

improvement or southern waters,
BY massiug the forces from the
south a buildings bill and a pork
bari bill could be put through
although at the expense of further
endangering national defeat for
the party in 1916.
Unquestionably, the majority
sentiment right now favors re-
trenchment; but so it did at the
opening of this two billion-dollar
congress. Everybody, at the out.
set, was for economy-just SO it
was exercised at the expense of
some n else's district. This NAV
prove true again.
There will be no extra session
unless the southern members pro-
long the session over the cotton
relief fight. They are in position
to do this, and their attitude will
be made known soon after con-
gress opens, as this is the first
thing to be taken up in the house.
There is a general hope and en-
deavor, on the part of many, to
expedite needed legislation so as
to do away with an extra session.;
whether it will succeed depends
entirely on the southern members
from cotton states and what SYM
p%athizers they can muster.
Observation-Disclosures of the
Wyoming delegation are all here
for the beginning of the short
session. Representative Mondell
and Senator Clark returned i'm
mediately after the election, and
Senator Warren came several days
before congress opened. All have
been busy with departmental work
brought to their attention during
their stay in Wyoming, in order
to get these matters as far along
as possible before congress met.
With the prospect of no extra
session, members of the Wyoming
delegation are looking forward
with pleasure to being able to
spend the summer at home, and
to see much more of the state
than they have been unable to do
since congress contracted the all
summer habit.
Representative Mondell, whose
duties as representative require
him to particularly look after
postofice matters in the state, has
been working diligently since his
return, right after election, in an
effort to secure more liberal con-
sideration of star route service by
the postofiee department. Mem
bers from all western states COM
plain hat the department under
its present administration is act
ing particularly penurious in the
consideration of star mail routes
insisting on these routes making
a certain financial showing before
service will be authorized. The
result has been the discontinue
ance or cutting down of routes all
over the west, some of which have
been reduced in frequency and a
few others are threatened. He is
urging a more liberal considera-
ton of these routes, which supply
mail to settlers in more or less
isolated regions, and expects to
keep at it.
