Ten Years.

Ten years is not a very long time, yet in that time the stock in.
dustry and the ranching has improved a little better than double, and
and there are more than twice a IS much land under cultivation; about
twice IS much land has passed from the government to private own
ership. 1t seems like we are moving slow, yet when you travel over
the Saratoga valley with the knowledge of actual conditions at hand,
1t is almost startling when comparing ten years ago to now, in agri-
cultural land and the stock industry. Ten years ago there were a few
thoroughbred cattle here, but the great majority were common range
stock, worth from $25 to $40 per head, while the animal today, des.
pte the increase in meat, is worth double, and now some of the finest
stock in the west are raised here. Nearly every ranch has at least
good grade COWS, while their bulls are the cream of the thorough
bred centers.
len years ago saw many old ranches standing idle, ranging from
l6O acres to 1000. Now every ranch of that nature in the valley is
working and supporting many head of cattle. Every year the pillow
turns over hundreds of new acres. Homeseekers has made great in
roads on the cheapy irrigated lands, while some are avaiing them
selves of the 800 acre act, now extended by the recent act of congress
Several men of means have moved among us and launched into
the cattle industry. Ten years ago you could have purchased some
OF the best ranches in the valley for a mere matter of from S. to SIS
per acre, while now the same land is not on the market at $50 per
acre. Another ten years 500 per acre will be the commonest kind
of a figure.
We are moving slow, that is true, but we # certainly moving,
and facts will bear US out, yet our resources III unscratched, the adj
vancement we have made has been forced upon us, and matters OIL
the surface appear to have been at a standstill when compared with
the advancement of localities where capitol and energy have been
expended in united effort.

The Shock Of Tragedy.

In the last week Wyoming Is a state and brotherhood has been
shocked to it's very depths by the trygic end of the Pershing family,
when the wife and three daughters of General John j. Pershing
were snatched from the world of living by death born in Oh wings
of licking white hot flames.
Mrs Pershing and her three little daughters, aged S-7-6, were
sufocated in the fire of their residence Friday night at the Preside in
San Francisco. Death claimed four of the family, leaving the little
son, five years old, and the General, The ways of Fate r myster-
|ious, and many times wiring the heart of those who survive until life
has lost its glow and the spirit no longer lives, though the ply
steal may dwell for years Mrs. PeIshing was the only
daughter of Senator Warren of Wyoming, and one of the most wide
ly known women of the state and it is needless to say that Wyom-
|ing's great heart goes out to General Pershing, his small son and
Mr.. and Mrs. Warren, but words have failed its people-what the
tonge has not said the unspokon feeling has conveyed in it's own
manner a tender hand to the ones left behind in this tragedy of NOR
tai flesh. At such times in the life of men there seems little reason,
little justice, and little consolation in the acts of the supreme ruler,
and we do not make explanation for them now, but resign ourselves
to wait when they shall be revealed to u g in the Lords own way.
The shadow of death comes to all, and those who live today, some
billions of people, will nearly all be turning to dust before another
100 years, and multtudes who have not yet seen the light of day,
will trample over our graves, little wondering about us, few only will
know our history. Such, my friends, is the walks of life and the
short period of time given us in the flesh is but one of the pages in
the evolution and training of the spirit and, while living as mortals,
such tragedies as has befallen us this week are happening every day.
and the only wonder is that 80 commono occurrence should so stir the
hearts of men. The three little bodies were laid to rest with mother
in one large grave in the Lakeview cemetery, Cheyenne, in the War

to recognize his real worth and have
ascribed his long string of victories
over American hghtweights to the
fact that Lewis was in reality a well
ter and was getting the advantage OF
poundage in nearly all his battles.
That same criticism could have
been made with even more force
against Packey McF arland and some
Yankees, but in McFarland's case, at
least, it was withheld as long as pos
sibIe, the usual thing being to give,

maker. ..<
Lewis engagement last night with
Willie Richie in New York should
silence some of his critics. He called
himself a welter, but weighed only
1891 pounds, while Richie was
four pounds heavier.
Nevertheless, Lewis gave the ex-
lightweight champion one excellent
trimming, and only remarkable cleV-
,erness and ability to take punishment
tenabled Richie to last through the
ten rounds. At one point he was
dangerously near knockout as the
result of a yoIley of right and left
Swings. -
Lewis is a fighter and not a stalIer.
He works often and gives punish
ment in his battles.
With the fight season just reaching
its height, Gary, the nearest place
ito Chicago where boxing bouts have
been allowed, is to be closed to the

there for tonight has been Cancelled,

attorney with headquarters in Gary
is said to be responsible for the ban.
The Gary battles have been real
entertainments, with plenty of good
clean fighting, and none of the con-
testants have been injured to any ex-
tent.

FRENCH TEACHERS IN WAR.

Twenty thousand Of the 10000
school teachers OF France are in the
army, and the frequency with which
they are cited in the orders Of the
day has been marked. Even those
who remain with their Glasses are
contributing in an original way to
the support of the army. They re-
quirc their pupils to bring TO school
at least once each week two potatoes,
two carrots, two turnips or other
vegetables TO be devoted to provision
ing the military hospitals. No child
is allowed TO bring more than two,
in order that no jealousy may be ere
sted. The object is not 50 much to
assure a supply Of food as to teach
the children generosity and let them
feel that they are filing their role
in the war. II has also had level
ing effect between the different
classes. From the department of the
Deux Seyres in one day more than
sixty thousand vegetables were thus
collected.

SMOKE KEEPS FRUIT SAFE
Scientific orchardists Have Found
Way to Prevent the Damage
From Frost.

Scientific orehardists have devel-
oped a method Of spreading a blan-
ket of smoke over their trees when
frost threatens, thereby keeping
them warm and saving the fruit.
These men have learned that the dam
ger time for their fruit is upon clear,
still nights when the thermometer is
below 10. When there are clouds
there is little danger, for these hold
the latent heat of the earth and pre-
vent it from radiating into space.
But when the skies are clear the heat
goes hurting away and the danger
of frost impends.
So the fruit men have developed
substitute for clouds. They manu-
facture smoke to take their place.
This is done by burning straw that
is somewhat damp and therefore
smokes a great deal as it burns.
Great volumes of the smoke boil mp
and spread out upon the fields. 1t
often happens that many men in a
fruit belt may be burning these
smudges at the same time and that
the whole region may become COW
cred with the smoke.
Yet this smoke imparts no warmth
of its own To the orchards. 1t mere
" serves the purpose of preventing
the radiation of the heat that has
been stored up in the ground since
the time that the sun last shone
upon it.

INDICATIONS OF
An EARLY SPRING
Great Prosperity Ahead for
Western Canada.

The most recent advices from all
points In Western Canada report that
conditions are apparent for an early
spring. Farmers are going over the
implements, getting their seeders
ready for operation, the plows In shape
for extended breaking, and there is a
general optimism. A great many new
settlers have already arrived, and the
reports from Canadian Government
agents In the United States point to
the fact that in few days there will
begin the usual emigration from va
rious of the Central and Western
states. From the Eastern states the
number OF farmers going to Canada
will be greater than in any past year.
There has been fairly large snow
fall during the winter, which will
greatly add to the precipitation of
last fall. which In the opinion of old
timers was In itself sufficient to In
sure a good crop during the present
year.
There Will be very little titled land
that will be without crop this year.
The authorities. though. are pleading
with the farmers to seed only such
land as has had careful preparation. for
rich as Is the soil of Western Canada,
IL IL no more fitted to produce good
crops uncultivated than Is that of any
other land anywhere else. There
have been accounts of failures In some
portions Of the agricultural districts Of
Western Canada. and also reports of
small yields IN some districts. A good
deal OF this Is accounted for from the
fact that Notwithstanding the advice
Of men OF experience. there are farm
ers who viii persist In seeding land not
properly prepared. This may be done
this year, but those who cultivate on
reasonable and logical methods will
be certain OF paying crop. There is
every reason to believe that the high
prices OF all kinds OF grain will con-
tinue.
With thousands and thousands of
acres Of land waiting for the husband
man to bring II forth with a crop, 1t
Is no wonder that Western Canada Is
continuing to prove such an inviting
field for the agriculturist.
Seventy million dollars Ia q con-
sentative estimate of orders which
came to Canada as the direct result
OF the war. Governments of the al
lies have been placing large orders In
Canada and buying huge quantities OF
supplies for cash.
Tho total value OF exports TO Eu-
rope from Canada has jumped about
Is per cent since the war started.
while in certain lines the increases
have been enormous.
Therefore the results OF the demand
OF the allies for war and other material
IL beginning to be felt in the financial
life of the Dominion. There Ia a marked
activity In many commercial lines. and
conditions are fast becoming normal.

tive benefit to the East.--Advertise

URGES PEOPLE TO REST MORE
Crying Need OF Hour is for More
Sleep, Declares a Phlladei-
phla Doctor.

Thousands Of persons who have a
fondness for lying in bed when duty
calls them into action will indorse
the proposition of Doctor Getson of
Philadelphia, who declares that the
CRYING need of the hour is for more
sleep and rest. He says that insti-
tntions for various diseases are null
tiplying rapidly, SO that in the near
future we may expect this world to
be an enormous asylum filed with
deformed, sick, nervous, exhausted
or insane persons.
This is not a cheering prospect,
but the remedy he offers is SIM
pIicity itself. He lays down the rule
that sleep and rest permit the hui
man system to destroy and throw of
the poisons created BY work. Fa-
tigue, he declares, is only the over
loading of the human body with
these poisons. There is much COM
mon sense in this. Rest and sleep
are better than drugs, but the dan
ger is that those who will be the
most eager to accept the suggested
remedy are the ones who are the
drones of the world and have the
least need for the prescribed sleep
and rest.
