Big |. 0. 0. F. Dance
Inc Annual Affair Of the Odd Fellows Took
Place Monday Night.

Monday Evening the dance hall
was the scene of the big annual
dance given by the L. o. o. F.
This, of course, is the real big
event of the entire year, and has
been for a number Of years past,
and this one was no exception to
the others. The affair was in charge
of Frank White, E. B. Winner and
and d. S. Richmond, and Mr..
Richmond acted as floor manager
for the committee, and it is need
less to say that he held the Job
down to a fine finish with honor to
himself and the order. Dave didn't
stand for any thing but a good
time, and nothing was tried on him
to e if he would "go through"
The Grand March was stearted
about an hour earlier than usual
and it was some time before the
crowd was all on the floor, but once
there, they did not like to let loose
and when the "home Sweet home"
was called at $3.50 a. M, they were
nearly all still in the hall. The
lights run until 4 a. M, and thus
everyone had time to get home
and in bed before they blinked.
The local Rebekah lodge furn-
ished the supper on the stage and
no better supper was ever spread,
as the ladies of that organization
have a reputation for their suppers,
and they maintain it against all
corners. The chairman in charge
of the supper was Mrs. g A, Welsh,
and she deserves special credit for,
the success of the affair. There
was plenty and some to spare, with
the exception of a little shortage
of the ice cream just at the close
of the supper but was not much
missed with the table heaped with
many other good things.
There was about the usual num-
Der of 100 couples and both orders
came out considerable ahead of
expenses, even though this event
is not intended as a money making
scheme. Burnett, Rose aud Lenke
furnished splendid music, and TAX
ing it all in all, there has never
been a better dance in Saratoga.
Through the work of both COM
mittees the Hall was handsomely
decorated for the occasion.

ted In this work, as it will enable
the University to develope its
country agent work, and to con-
tlnue on a larger scale the practi.
cal demonstrations that have been
made in the past. There are two
other bills that the University is
greatly interested in that have
passed the two houses and are now
awaiting the governors signature.
One Is to give the University a
one-elghth mill tax annually for
building improvement, and the
other to give it one-fourth of the
income of land grants from the
federal government for state chart
table, educational, penal and re-
formatory institutions.
Two debating teams of equal
rank will this year represent the
University in the intercollegiate
debates. Two preliminaries were
necessary to decide which debaters
were most capable. The follow
ing students have been chosen:
Dorothy Downey, Harry Craig,
Walker French, Morgan Spicer
and Wickman of Laramie; Nab.
ollo Goehring of Sheridan; John
Peterson of Douglas, and Donald
Shingler of Cheyenne. Debates
with the University of Denver and
with Colorado Agricultural Col
lege have been scheduled, and it
is possible that contests with the
University of Montana or with
South Dakota will be held.
Arrangements are being compile
ted for the 1915 Summer School
at the University, which will be
in session from June 14th to July
23rd. Reduced railroad rates from
all parts of the state will be tend
cred to students coming to Lara
mie. Though last year the attend
ance was by far tue largest of any
year, the indications are that the
coming summer session will be
even larger.

Forest Fires Cause Loss Of
S677,8I6 in the year 1914

Fires on the national forests of
the west in 1914 caused a loss to
the government of not quite 34O,-
O00,0 900 board feet of merchantable
timber, valued at 1907, BOB, and of
reproduction, or young growth of
trees, valued at Sl92 ,408, according
to statistics just compiled by the
forest service. There were 6,6O5
fires, of which only 1,545 burned
over an area of ten acres or more.
About II per cent of all the fires
did damage or loss of more than
500 each. In addition to the loss
es suffered by the government,
timber on state and private lands
within the forests, totaling 22S,-
DOS, 900 board feet and valued at
SITS, 800, was lost. The total area
burned over was 800, 240 acres, of
which 3I0,5S3 acres were state and
private lands.
Notwithstanding that it was an
exceptionally bad year for fires,
on account of high temperatures,
heavy winds, and drought, the
average loss per fire WAS SOB as
against sl3l in 1911, when there
we're only about half as many fires
Eighty FIVE per cent of the total
loss was caused by fires in Idaho,
Montana, Oregon and Washington,
where more than half the timber
in all the national forests stands
Less than one-tenth of n pei
cent of this timber was affected

states, and of the SO fires causing

Maxwell $50 at Saratoga.

The Pilon Mercantile Company,
agents for the Maxwell 25" which
has made some splendid records
of late, informs us this week that
if they succeed in the sale of six
Maxwells before Match 18th, that
they can place the car in the hands
of the owner, in this city for $50,
making this car a very modest
price. This includes electric lights
and starter. As they already have
some calls for this splendid little
car, they will probably not be long
in filling the order.

on the best kinds of fat steers were
strong to as much as Toe higher than
the close OF last week and other kinds
were fully steady. Cows and heifers
were active and generally 10c higher.
There was a fair demand for what
few stocker and feeder cattle were
here n they generally commanded
good, firm prices. There is nothing IN
the quarantine regulations to prevent
stockmen from Iowa and all other
states buying clean western feeders
on this market and shipping them out.
The national regulations provide that
stock crossing a state line and billed
as stockers and feeders must be
shipped in cleaned and disinfected
cars. Stock may be shipped across
state lines for Immediate slaughter
without the necessity of the cars
being cleaned or disinfected.

Of the state, adjourned, sine die at
1870 o'clock this morning, ten and
onp.balf hours after the Saturday
midnight at which it's session off

delayed. by a deadlock in the SEN
ate over an amendment, made in
that body, providing an appropria-
ton III the general appropriation
bill of $4,000 for the state immi.
grafton commission created by the
legislature of 1911. Gov. Kendrick
requested this appropriation, and
while the proposal had sufficient
supporters to put it into the gen.
eral appropriation bill, it did not
have sufficient number of friends
to suspend the rules that the big
bill might be placed on second
reading and final passage. Oppo-
nents of the appropriation de-
clined to vote for a suspension of
the rules as long as the item was
in the bill and from 11:50 Satur-
day night until APO this morning
the senate was deadlocked, the
house meantime marking time. AT
the latter hour the governor with
drew his request that the immigra-
ton commission be given an APP
preparation, the appropriation was
stricken from the bill and the
rules were suspended and the sen.
ate passed the measure, which
carries about 81, 100, 600 The per-.

bells were ringing for morning
service was occupied by the routine
essential before the two houses

One of the final acts of the house
was to kill Senate File 10, provid-

tional amendment for the initia-
tive and the referendum. One of
the final acts of the senate WAS to
pass House Bill 257, authorizing
Incorporated clubs to hold boxing

was the passage of bill authorizing

board and he was directed TO forbid the
active students from going ahead with
it, he has attempted to have the hotel
authorities cancel the arrangements for
the use OF the hotel ballroom. The hotel
authorities are said to have assured the
committee that they would hold the date
for the dance, when assurance was given
that the rule OF the Board of Education
against use Of the high school name
would be strictly complied with.
HOIOvtchiner stiII Opposes.
DIR. f. Holovtchiner of the board de-
clares that the whole affair should be
called off, and he expresses disapproval
of the chaperones Of che proposed dance
some OF whom are said 10 be high school
teachers. He says:
II think that the chaperones interested
in the proposed Central High school ball
should take the position OF supporting
the Board of Education, rather than
lending their influence toward holding
this function under a new name, which
means only a subterfuge to evade the
rule Of the school board"
The doctor explains he is not objecting
to a crowd of high school young people
and members OF the alumni getting to-
gether for the purpose in question, but
his contention is that having once decided
to hold this event in the name of the
high school, which is against a rule Of
the board. and then selecting another
name merely to evade the rule, is not in
culcating in the minds of the young peo-
Pile a proper respect for the rules of the
Board of Education.
