WAS HOME OF
BILL NYE.

The city of Laramie, Wyoming,
as well as the river, the mountain
range, and the county, derives it's
name from Fort Laramie, which
stands at the mouth of Laramie
River. The most famous fort on
the old Overland Trail was named
directly or indirectly for Jacques
La Ramie, a French fur trader of
the early days. The old maps
show the river az La Ramies
Fork.
Laramie was the home of Bill
Nye, and here he founded the
Boomerang, a journal of some
what titful existence, and wrote
the articles for the Cheyenne and
Denver papers that brought him
into prominence NE a humorist
1t is worthy of notice that some
80 years ago Nye and James
Whilcomb Riley published rail
way guide. .What this country
needs, they said, "ls railway
guide which shall not be cursed
by q plethora Of facts or poisoned
with information. In other rail
way guides pleasing fancy, poesy,
and literary beauty have been
throttled al the very threshold by
q wild incontinence of facts, fig
nres, and reference to meal sta
lions. For this reason a guide
has been built at our own shops
and on new plan. 1t will not

other enjoyment in which normal,

The first thing such man does ls
to 90 to the capitol to prevent
the passage Of bill by which
people will get some enjoyment.
He will try TO have things prohi

prevent something. Did you ever
see this kind of rtformer trying
to have bill passed that would
enable people to enjoy life.
Never! His sole idea is 10 force
through the legislature or the
city council blue law to make
other people live according to his
ideas, or TO prevent the passage
Of laws introd uced by other people
who may want to live differently
The world ia sad enough without
losing our pleasures. There is no
place 10 these red bIooded days
for blue laws. The pasty-faced
complexion has gone out of style

that we are living the right way

REMARKABLE FEATURES

Next Tuesday the municipal elec-
ton, to fill the vacancy in the mayor
atty of this city, will take place. The
campaign has been remarkably
quiet one. Notwithstanding the fact
that there have been SIX candidates in
the field. These candidates have not
gone to sleep at the switch" either
they have been awake and bustling.
they all have taken very active in
terest in the campaign III the effort to
put their views squarely before the
voters. All these candidates have
been seeking an office having a salary
connected Herewith of $500 per year.
Yet the campaign has been very
qu1et one of good feeling throughout.
There has been but little factional
boosting Of any candidate. and no
candidate seems to have blind fol.
lowing dictated by political boss.
There must be some reason for this
apparent practical absence OF all bit.
terness and vituperation in cam
paign for an Office which has such an
attractive salary connected thereto.
There mi st be some reason for this
difference IN campaigns OF the past
and present. There is-it is the Pre-
ferential Ballot.
Voters may require few campaigns
to demonstrate the fact that this style
of voting is quite different from the
old plan. No candidate Is now given
an office because OF political pull and
factional interest. The individual
ability. executive power and moral
worth of the respective candidates are
their greatest recommendation to the
favorable consideration of the voters.
The voters will learn. that in this
game they are the ones who put up
the whole stake. That If they under
take to put Something over the other
fellows" they will have to stand with
the other fellows" when bearing the
results Their first interest Is good
government TO secure this they
must have good men in office.

He was always taking Chances,

neighbours called him crazy, but
he left a stable full of cows that
broke the record, making butter
by the ton, an Bill had his picture
printed in the Squeedunk Weekly
sun. He had newtangled notions
of making farming pay. He even
bought fool machine to help him
load his hay. The neighbors
fairly snorted when they saw the
bloomin' thing; said Bill would
never make it work. 1t wasn't
worth a ding! Bill didn't say
single word, an didn't care darn
bout what they said, fer slick as
grease, his hay went III the barn

came sailin' out that way anu
caught his neighbors in a pinch
and spoiled their new mown hay.
