many persons were lined up in the street.

University Notes.

The University Of Wyoming EN-
gineer Society" has been formed
at the University, and has elected
the following officers : John Pierce
of Illinois, president; Bernard Ho.
we'll of Newcastle, vice-president,
and Jesse Spiolman of Gillette,
secretary and treasurer. The So
ciety has as its aim, the promotion
of theory and practice of engineer
ing, and will hold meetings twice
monthly, when practical talks and
discussions by the members of the
club, and by authorities on the
subject, will constitute the main
part of the program.
The University Experiment Sta
ton is now sending out to farmers
in all parts of the state, samples of
seed grains. These samples are
given absolutely free to those that
apply for them the only expense
to the recipient being the freight
charges, which amounts to but
but little. Nearly a ton and a
half in all has been sent out in
small packages, showing very well
the interest taken by the farmers
in the Experiment Station, and
their appreciation of the value it
is to them.
The passing of the three bills
by the Legislature that the Univer-
sity has 80 vitality interested in,
and their subsequent approval by
the Governor, was indeed received
as the best of news by the stu
dent body and faculty. One Act
grants the university authorities
to receive the money appropriated
by congress-. Under the Smith
Lever Act, which is to be used for
extension purposes. The second
act gives to the University a one
eighth mill tax, which at the pres
emit time will amount to about
100000 annually to be used for
building purposes. The other Act
gives to the University one-fourth
of the money received by the state
from the 100000 acres of land
coded to the state for charitable,
educational, penal and reforma-
tory purposes. Needless to say,
the money will be used most adj
vantageously, and will be a real
help in lettering conditions at our
state institution.

$4,000 For Hatchery.

Hon. George b Brimmer,
Rawlans, Wyoming.
My dear Brimmer
We have succeeded in obtain
ing the adoption of an amendment
to the Sundry Civil Appropriation
Bill appropriating $4,000 for the
Saratoga Fish Hatchery additional
to the $4,000 previously appro-
priated. The amendment has been
agreed to by the conference on the
Sundry Civil Bill, and the confer
ence Report adopted by both the
Senate and House. The bill now
goes to the President for sigma
ture.
An additional Sis, 900 will enable
the Federal Fish Commission 10
enlarge the Saratoga Hatchery
along plans which do not interfere
with the work which has already
been done or contemplated.
My amendment was originally
for an increase of $4,000 but
this was scaled to $4,000 and in
these times of cutting down"
l was willing to accept the reduc-
ton.
Please advise others in reference
to the increased appropriation.

This also proves my contention

This also proves my contention
that you cannot sell an anproven
car, no matter how much interest
is shown in it, because the pur-
chasers today have been taught
that because a thing is new does
not prove its durability nor its
efficiency. Every man is willing
to let his neighbor experiment
with the new thing, while he buys
a car that has proved itself by at
least two OF three years service in
hundreds of owners hands. 1t is
