Wyoming State Fair.

The Wyoming State Fair has
made arrangements with all the
railroads over the state to handle
all live stock for exhibition, at
very reasonable rates and do it
on fast time to save as much
shrinkage as possible
Big inducements are being
handed out to the live stock peo-
pie to make the coming exhibits
as large and as big a variety as is
possible. The Fair expects their
speed program to be better than
usual and in addition to this they
are putting on many novel fea-
lures.

The attendance at the summer
session of the University of Wy

mark. This is a gratifying in
crease over the enrolment of
1915, 270 being the total of that
session, which was by far the
largest number up to that time.
The first summer school to be
held at the University was In
1905 when but u attended. The
next year a substantial increase
was noted, and so it has continued
every year, the registration beirg
considerably larger than that of
the preceding year. Students
from all the counties Of Wyoming
and from over twenty states in
Union are enrolled in the session
this summer.
At the conclusion of summer

Public Buildings.

Public buildings for Wyoming
have been provided for in the
Sundry Civil bill. now a law, for
the towns of Buffalo, Cody, Basin
and Newcastle, the last named re-
ceiving an appropriation for pay
ment of the site. In the Public
Buildings bill just introduced two
Wyoming postotice buildings are
provided for-Green River and
Newcastle-each for S25 900. Hev-
ing four federal building appro-
priations in the Sundry Civil bill
for Wyoming, Mr. Mondell could
hardly be expected to get any
nor in the Public buildings bill.
His constituency will be agree
ably disappointed, however, to
learn that he has been able to get
$25, 900 appropriations for Green
River and Newcastle In this mea-
sure, and our Senators may be ex-
pected to hold these items in the
bill.

Good Roads Bill.

AS soon as it seemed reasonably

of presenting Wyoming's claims
among the very first. This work
is we'll under way, aud the vari-
GUS boards Of county commission
ers and others are busy collecting
the necessary data and doing 9TH

taking advantage of the law. 1t
is safe to say that Wyoming will
be one of the first states in the
Union to benefit from the good
roads legislation, through the in
dustry of our delegation in con-

Fancy Flying at
Wyoming Fair

Baxter Adams fys twice daily
at the Wyoming State Fair, at
Douglas, Sept. 26 27-28 20, 1915,
looping the loop, flying upside
down and many other sensational
stunts.
Rain, shine OF cyclone, 10 the
slogan Baxter Adams has nailed
to the masthead of his aeroplane.
The great aviator no longer fears
the weather. His powerful motor
sends him through the air far fast
er than any wind blows, and 30
powerful is the impulse of his
craft that in starting, landing or
flying at a two mile high altitude,
it is sent along by the master
hand of the Worlds greatest avi-
ator.
THE public has been buncoed
by aviators for many years" is
Adams comment, and has grown
accustomed 10 the belief that man
cannot fly unless the wind is
right. There are no such things
as "Swiss cheese atmospheres,"
"Air Pockets" "Vortexes," oroth-
err of the alibis SO dear to the
heart of the timid, incompetent
or inexperienced aviators. A man
who can fly we'll enough to get
paid for exhibition hyiog should
be able to fly in any kind of wea-
Their, even if a cyclone is blowing.
There is as much difference be-
tween straight flying and fancy
flying as there is being ordinary
bicycle riding and the fancy rid
ing act n sees upon the vaude-
vile stage. But a lot of aviators
are going around the country bun
coeing the public into believing
that they can really fly, and SO
aviation gets a black eye. How
many times do we hear supposed
ly intelligent persons remark that
the aeroplane is but a toy. That
man will never master air. All
those people should go to see
Baxter Adams. They will go
away quite of a different mind.
One reason" says Adams,
land l may say the chief reason,
why members of congress and
senate refuse to vote for an ap.
preparation for an adequate army
and navy, is because they do not
know what man can really do with
the aeroplane, But they will soon
know, because | am going to
Washington and give them a pri-
vate exhibition of my flying"

L was startled but it continued,

L felt a hand in mine and saw a
figure in white gauze by my side
and l obediently followed it down
to the waters edge, where we
boarded a small light skiff which
was riding peacefully on the
waves.
We seemed to float up stream
and the airy little skiff carried US
under an extremely large bridge,
supported by huge piers. L heard
the shrill screeching of locomo-
tive whistles and 1 followed my
strange companion into the well
kept, paved main street of the
city.
We took a trolley and my guide
asked to go to the oil fields. At
ter about a thirty minute ride we
found ourselves surrounded by
vast rolling plains of alfalfa and
farther on we passed by pastures
of fat thoroughbred cattle feeding
on the tender grass.
In the seat at our rear L heard a
man remark: "Great country this"
And his companion answered,
"Yes, nice little city, too"

the derricks, which pumped the
oil into pipes that carried it to

Hot Springs Hotel which was a
most remarkable building of the
finest construction.
We re-crossed the river and
passed by the large Office building
of the Elk Mountain Mining &
Milling Co, which by the way
was not at all surprising to me as
l always have thought that the
huge "pile of land" as the Irish
man says, must contain some of
natures rarest treasures which
were being jealously guarded by

We next wandered through the
residence districts and saw the
homes of many wealthy people
who spent their summers here.
Then we visited the normal col
