Vote On Hobson Resolution.

Explaining his vote on the Hob
son Resolution Mr. Mondell said /:
"Mr. Speaker, I shall vote for
the pending resolution, providing
for the submission of a constitu-
tional amendment prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of intoxicst-
ing liquors for beverage purposes.
In so voting I do not wish to be
understood as having resolved to
to my entire satisfaction every
doubt as to the efficacy Of prohibit
ton as a cure for the evils of in
temperance, or as to the wisdom
of the attempt to enforce prohibit
ton throughout the nation by
federal authority. OF this, how
ever, 1 am certain; that q very
large number of my constituents,
among the best classes of our citi-
zenship, are favorable to adoption
of this resolution. Under these
circumstances 1 conceive it to be
my duty to lend my vote and
influence toward a~ffording the OPP
portunity which the adoption of
this resolution will present to my
constituents, and to the people Of
the nation as a whole, to decide by
their votes, in the manner provided
by the constitution, whether or not
the proposed amendment shall be-
come a part of the organic law of
the nation,
What we are called upon to de-
eide is: Does there exist among
our constituents, and the people of
the nation as a whole, a sentiment
and desire sufficiently general,
earnest, active and widespread on
the subject involved in the pro-
posed amendment, to make it our
duty to afford the people an OPP
portunity, in the manner provided
by the constitution, to render judg-
ment on the issues involved. With
my knowledge and information of
the sentiment favorable to the sub
mission of the proposed amend
ment I have no doubtor hesitation
in deciding that question in the
affirmative.

Bull Sale AT Denver.

There is such a demand among
the stockmen all over the West for
choice bulls for their herds that
arrangements are being made for
the usual public sales of pure bred
bulls during Stock Show week at
Denver, Jan. 1923. The West
ern Hereford Breeders Associa-
tion has announced a sale of bulls
from its members in Colorado and
Wyoming. These are from the
best western herds and will be
sold at public sale. Some of the
Shorthorn people are arranging
for a sale, and for those looking
for carloads of bulls for range use
it is expected there will be several
hundred choice bulls on sale dur
ing the week, mostly ami mails that
have been bred in the West, and
others that have been in the state
for some time, 80 that, from a
health standpoint, stockmen need
have no fear of disease in buying
these animals. The demand for
pure bred and high grade bulls
was never stronger than at present
and is due to the fact that range
stockmen are going back into the
breeding business instead of de-
pending upon the South for steers.

Petition to Move Bridge.

1t has been suggested that the
bridge now spanning the river at
this point, and which this place
is petitioning the county commits
sioners to move, be moved to the
or near the W. j. Scarrow ranch
down the river ON the account of
coal hauling and other winter traf-
6ic up and down the river. This
idea is a good one, and this would
make that road even open to travel
to Walcott and Fit. Steele if the
road was fixed up a little, A petit
ton has been in circulation here
for some time to move this bridge
to some place on the river where
the traffic would be lighter and
give Saratoga a "a Or % foot bridge
in the place of it, and also to put
in the new one. about four feet
lower. This is g mighty good
thing and everyone should make
an effort to push this thing along
by signing the petition.

Farm Credits System Needed.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Jan. 5.-Farm
wealth of the United States, esti-
mated at $4,000. 0eO, 600, should
be the basis on which the pros
perity of the country rests perma-
nently, yet there is no adequate
law under which to finance the
farm. That was the condition des-
cribed here last week at the Inter-
state Agricultural Congress by W.
@. Brown, former president of the
New York Central Railroad.
The establishment of farm
credits is one of the most impor-
tant questions now before the
nation" Mr.. Brown said. "The
farmer is paying twice the interest
he should. Long time loans at a
low rate would enable the farmer
to properly finance his work and
it is this financing upon which de-
ponds to a large degree the pros
perity of the country.

Ksndrick ~Inausurated.

Monday morning on the Capitol
steps, at the State Capitol in Chey-
enne, Governor elect John B. Ken
drick became governor of Wy
oming and Gov. Carey become
ex-governor, The ceremonies we're
very elaborate for the swearing
into Office Of the state officials.
Cheyenne made big arrangements
and everything was carried out
with promptness and dispatch and
the weather being favorable the
occasion was enjoyed by many
hundreds of people who had gath
cred at the Capitol.
At night a big ball was given
along with the reception and BAN
quet to the officers elect, and Mrs.
Kendrick with her array of swell
new gowns was by no NEAR of
small notice.
The officers sworn in were, John
b. Kendrick, Governor, Frank l..
Houx, Sec. of State, q. E. Gates,
Treas, Robt. B. Forsyth, Auditor,
Judge Richard 81. Scott, Justice
of the Supreme Court, and Miss
Edith Clark, Superintendent of
Schools,
The Legislature will convene ON
the 18th of this month and will be
organized by the Republicans in
both house and senate, as both
branches r largely Republican,
lessening the chances of both Ken.
drick and Osborne for Senators
two years hence, as the Republi-
cans will probably still control the
situation. Just what luck the
legislature, of one political COM
plection and the Governor of an
other, will have upon progressive
measures, is a matter yet for guess
ing. If they have no better luck
than Carey and the Legislature,
we can expect to receive very
little good from the present ses-
sion.

A committee from the Saratoga
Lodge No. 43 got ups light sup
per for the l.. o. o. F. and the in
vited Rebekahs. After the in.
stallstion of the officers, the Re-
bekahs were invited to attend the
supper and spend the evening
with the Odd Fellows. A nice
supper was prepared for those

fine evening. Owing to the large
membership of both lodges it was
determined not to invite any out
side guests as the affair was gotten
up at the last moment aud only q
few knew about it at all. There
were some 81 of both orders pres

Bell System Shares Earnings.
Especial to the Saratoga suu.)


Denver, Colo, January 1.-The
American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company announces that
arrangements have been made by
which employees of the Bell Sys-
tenn who have been two years or
more in the service and who 80
desire may purchase stock of the
Company for $l10 dollars per

No employee can purchase more
than one share for each $500 of an
nual wages he receives, nor more
than ten shares whatever his wages.
The terms of payment will be
$500 per share per month begin
ming with March 1915, and the
quarterly dividends paid on the
stock will go towards paying for it
after deducting interest at 4 per
cent per annum on the unpaid
balance.
The American Company has paid
8 per cent dividends for seven
years, and it is calculated that divi-
dends ut this rate and the $500
per share per month payments by
employees will pay for the stock in
full by November 1918. ANY en-
ploye who so desires can after
March l, 1917. but not before, pay
in the balance on his stock and
receive his stock certificate.
Should an employe leave the
service or die before his stock is
fully paid for, the amount he has
paid in plus the accumulated divi-
dends (less 4 per cent interest
will be paid back

Shooting al French.
william Cole Shoots Charles Sanger In the
Arm. Over A Supposed killing Of Besi.

4 ATm. HNC "
v. e. Tiltop came in from En-
Il csmpment this morning bearing
the news of the shooting of Chas.
Sanger by VIM. Cole at French
this morning. 1t would seem that
Cole became mad at Sanger over
the killing of a beef. Two steers
i have been ranging in above the
4 claims of Cole for the past sum
uer and being very wild, Sanger
WAS unable to get them out of tho
hills. Every few days he goes up
there and tries to get them headed
down the river, with the intention
of getting them into the field with
the balance of the cattle. Reports
a few days ago were to the effect
that one steer was missing, by
riders in that part OF the country
and the one gone happened to be
black. Sanger went up there to
turn ont some horses and not find
ing Cole at home, went into his
cabin and discovered fresh meat,
as we'll as signs of black COW hair.
On looking closer it was found
that a whole beef was cashed in
the cabin close by and from the
hair, it appeared to have been a
black one. Yesterday Sanger and
some other riders made an ex-
animation of the meat and
drug the meat to the center of
the floor and then left it there.
Cole on going home last evening
of course, found that things had
been tempered with, and we are
informed that Cole thinking this
was Chas. Sanger laid in wait for
Sanger this morning at Sanger's
ranch and when he came out, Cole
opened fire on Sanger, who i'm
mediately started for the house
for a gun. 1t appears that Cole
was running after Sanger and that
is about the only reason that Cole
did not kill Sanger, as he was I'M
able to shoot good while running.
Cole shot seven times and the
eighth shell stuck in the gun.
Sanger has one or two scratches on
the head, INT bullet cut his ear a
little and one bullet struck him
in the left arm just above the ell
bow, but it appears to be only a
flesh wound.
Cole made a dash for the barn
and a watch was posted at once
over the barn to prevent Cole from
getting away, while aid went for
the sheriff and doctor. At eleven.
o'clock it was reported here by
telephone that Cole had commit
ted suicide in the barn. just what
the particulars are surrounding it,
We have not as yet learned as we
go to press. Sanger is not danger
ously hurt.

Composition on ducks"

Written by a "Fresh Prep" IN
English class.
The duck is low, heavy set
bird, composed mostly o: meat,
bill and feathers. His head sets on
one end and he sets on the other.
There amt no between to his toes,
and he carries a toy balloon in his
stomach to keep from sinking.
The duck has only two legs and
they are set far back on his running
gear that they came near missing
his body.
Some ducks when they get big
are called brakes. brakes don't
have to set or hatch; just loaf, go
swimming and eat. Ii | was to be
a duck I'd rather be a drake every
time.
Ducks do not give milk but eggs,
but as for me, give me liberty or
give me death.
