Arbor Day Proclamation.

Gov. Kendrick has issued his
Arbor Day proclamation and the
date set is the Both day of April,
1914. Wyoming has none too
many trees and everyone set out
and made to grow, is helping this
great state to beautify ITSELF. A
number of trees have been set out
in Saratoga from time to time, but
the sad fact that most of them
have been destroyed by stock, be.
ing allowed to run at large, in the
corporation. 1t is to be hoped
that everyone who can will set out
trees, and we hope that the new
administration, which will be cleo
ted in May, will keep up the stock.

Maria ~Montessori, world famous
as an educator, is to spend a good
part OF July at the San Diego Ex-
position, teaching the visitors to
the exposition of her work among
the children, now in vogue in many
countries. This is a feature of
the educational work being carried
on by n division of the EXPOSE

the holding of teachers institutes
at the Exposition grounds, and
similar educational conferences

San Diego, April, 81. Declar,
ing that the real cause of the Euro
peon war was the jealousy be-
tween the belligerent nations for
commercial supremacy and ex-
pansion, Irwin Cobb, noted war
correspondent, does not see any
end for the gigantic struggle un-
til n side is decisively beaten
and it's resources exhausted. Cobb,
who has just returned from Eu-
rope and whose articles on the
war in the Saturday Evening Post
are attracting widespread atten-
ton, is a visitor to the San Diego
Exposition.
Il came here to drink in the
beauties of this great Exposition"
said Cobb who is a daily visitor at
the grounds. "As | stand here
and look over this wide expanse
of beauty and pescefulness what a
striking contrast it makes to what
l have just seen on the European
battlefields. There all is strife and
devastation. Here all is prosperity
and happiness. Over on the other
side they want to fight it out, the
countries urging peace are those
which have no war, but if there is
anything nearer He'll than war
l don't know what it is. General
Sherman was right"
Cobb declares he is taking a
much needed rest but plans to go
back and resume his work in Eu-
robe in May. Cobb does not ap-
pear to have lost his humorous
vein even though he has been as
socisted with an atmosphere con-
ductive to all things excepting
comedy. Good nature radiates
from every inch of him and the
fact that he has never been &C
cused of being a handsome man he
considers quite a joke. He is
never nettled when a jibe is given
about his personal appearance or
build and see humor in such ref
erences as, "Cobb is not a prize
beauty"

Two Million Cattle
and Nine Million Sheep.
Washington, April, 10, 1916

Washington, April, 10, 1915.
Receipts from grazing permits
on the National Forests for the
season of 1915 will contribute to
the public revenues approximately
81, 100000, or about 100000 more
than last year, according TO an
estimate made from the allowances
Just authorized by the Secretary
of Agriculture. The Forests this
year will furnish forage for
1887 IT'S cattle and horses,
S,747,O25 sheep and goats, and
81, O4O swine, the figures indicat-
ing a material increase of meat
production on the government
regulated ranges.
This increase of 92,658 cattle
aud horses over the allowances for
1914 is accomplished by a decrease
of 120,88 sheep and goats, show
ing that in many parts of the
West sheep are giving way to cat
tie. 1t is thought that the recent
high price beat has been encour-
aging many farmers and former
sheepmen to go into the cattle
business, though it will be the

The Water
Bond Issue.

in either the water bond election
nor the town election for officers
insofar as the publication is con-
cerned, and we hope we shall moi
have to take any active part in
either of the elections, and shall
not unless pulled in by the dirty
class of mud singing. that at times
manifest ITSELF among a certain
few.
We called attention last week to
the gum shooting which was max
ing it's self disagreeable, in the
matter of confusing the water bond
election with the regular official
election. There is a very distinct
difference. One election is for the
officers of the town, the other for
the water bond, but both appear
ing on the one ballot.
If the water bonds carry, then
officers taking over the admins
tration will have to issue the bonds
or be impeached and thrown out
office. If the water bonds did not
carry and the officers taking over
the administration wanted water
works, they would be unable to
do anything whatever in the mat
ter, 10 the peoples decision at the
election is final and out of the
power of the administration.
Either ticket in the field being
elected, will be governed wholly
by the above, and it is an insult
to the intelligence of the people of
this town, to try and make them
believe that there is or could be
anything to the contrary. If you
are so ignorant, as to believe it.
don't expose your ignorance by
speaking of this in front of people,
who are, perhaps, brighter than
you.
We don't blame the Town Coun-
Gil for submitting the the water
question to the people. 1t is a
common comment that we should
have water works, and the town
council secured figures and plans
and have submitted the question
and it is now up to the people to
say yes or no, if they had not sub
mitted it, the people would yell,
and when they do they are blamed
for doing it. But whatever you
do, don't blame it on to one ticket
or the other that is coming up for
election at the same time and
place, as the men on both tickets
are innocent of having anything to
do with it and either ticket elected
will have to do what the people
vote on the question.
We have offered the use of our
columns to the city to use as they
may e fit in publishing any ex-
PLANTATION or other literature on
the subject for the information OF
the people, outside of the regular
legal notices pertaining to it.
We have heard people kicking
that no one wanted water works
We question are not these the
same people who elected one mayor
three times on his promise to dc
something along the line of water
works.
Think it over, and let the men
alone on these two tickets. if you
can't find anything else to blame
on to them, other than something
OF which they have nothing to do
We have talked to candidates OIL
both tickets, and we fluid that they
will do what the people will vote
and it is foolish to suppose tina
they will do otherwise, and wher
a man with no more brains thar
to propose that they can, shoulc
be laughed at.

Action on Accounts

LINCOLN. Aus Is -lSpecia - Peculiar
methods OF the State Normal board have
been shown az various times and the
latest comes up through bill allowed at
the last session which was recommended
for payment by the committee consisting
OF Treasurer Hail. J. K. 'iettys ana Dan
Morris.
The bill was for water furnished the
state normal at Peru oy The village OF
Peru The contract had been made with
the village TO supply the wlter at cents
per 1000 gallons. The bill called for y
cents per 1000 gallons. a similar bill had
been allowed by the boari at former
meeting for the latter rate after the Peru
member OF the board had made n state-
ment that the village could not afford
TO furnish water at that rate. But this
time the committee cut the bill TO ;he
contract rate OF s cents per 1000 gallons
and II was allowed.
The peculiar part Of the matter is that
the bill was recommended and passed
through the hands OF committee. Of
which ]. r. Gettys was a member. not
withstanding the board at the meeting
had decided that Gettys was not a mem
ber Of the board and had fired him over
the transom and seated another man. IL
will also be noted that Morris was a
