With the two weeks delay granted,
Sercombe's term as statistician for
the board terminated.
For the second time recently, Ma
yor Thompson turned his eyes to-
ward a soft board job for a political
henchman. This time he suggested
Morton MacCormac, one of his lead
ers in the 7th ward, for the job as sta
tistician.
The position pays third highest sal
airy on the board. Whether MacCor-
mac was good at figures, the mayor
didn't say. He just suggested that
his honor ought to have some one in
touch with school matters.
MacCormac is head of a business
college in the Englewood district and
is the biggest Thompson man in the
7th ward.

Mine Becoming Wreck.

The Union Pacific Coal compa-
ny is taking the final steps in the
abandonment of its No. l mine at
Rock Springs, once the greatest
and yet the deepest colliery in the
west. The machinery is being re-
moved from the surface plant and
that portion which it is not advis-
able to move is being broken to
pieces with dynamite that the me-
tai which it contains may be util-
lied. The workings of old No. l
mine, which was abandoned be-
cause it became too deep for it's
product to be hoisted at a profit,
are being used as a training
ground for first aid classes, the
members of which are sent into
it's gas-6lled chambers to accus-
tom them to the use of oxygen

Word From Andrews Family.

We received a letter from E. j.
Andrews of Valley, Wash, this
week. We are glad to hear from
all the old friends. Mr.. Andrews
states that they have had a very
hard winter there, the worst in
thirty years. Many of the old
timers remember the Andrews
family who made their home here
for many years, and who now live
at the above place. We judge
from the letter that they are we'll
and contented. We often wish
that more of the old timers and
residents of this valley, who now
live in other parts of the U. s.
would drop q line occasionally,
as every one likes to know of their
whereabouts, and how they are
getting along.

FoREsEEs HARD WINTERS.

Able Moreaux, the French meteor
ologist, says the worlds rain cycle
which, from his study of the suns
face, he predicted would begin in
1902, is now at an end. For the next
26 years, beginning with the present
one, he forecasts a series of hard win
tiers, but is not sure hat the series
will be entirely unbroken. He is I'M
able to say just where in Europe the
cold will be excessive, he announces,
but he expects France to experience
many rigorous winters in this period.

Obituary.

Mrs Mary Williams died last
Thursday, Feb. 10th, at the home
of her son, G. A. Kennaday on
Cedar creek. Advanced age large
ly affected her passing. Funeral
services were conducted by Rev.
MacLean, who is in charge of the
Presbyterian church during the
absence of Rev. Newport, which
was held at the ranch.
Mrs. Williams came to Wyom-

MINING ACTIVITY
west virginia-w Wyoming Copper Co. and
Portland Copper Co. Reported
Consolidated.

1t is reported in mining circles
that the West Virginia Wyoming
and the Portland Copper Co. have
consolidated and that mining &C.
| t~ivities are about to be resumed in
this valley in the Battle district.
Copper at the present time is quo
ted above 25 cents, and holding
readily. We presume this has
had its effect and are greatly in
hopes that this report is not like
the usual tips that have disoour-
aged so many people in this val
ley. Real mining activity would
be the means of again helping to
bring this valley to the front. 1t
is commonly known that both of
the above mentioned companies
have valuable property and could
easily go to shipping.
The new company will be CAPT
taIized at 100000 and while
n stock will be sold it is not
thought there will be any need for
much sale to enable them to get
to a footing where they will be
self-supporting. 1t is also stated
that they expect to put in a con-
contractor in the Battle Basin to
reduce the ores before shipping.
There is no reason, with the pres
ent price of copper, that every
prospect and shipping mine in
this great valley should not be
working to its fullest capacity and
to that end we hope to see this
new project work out.

Nebraska's New Empire.

The crop census of the North
Platte, Nebraska Wyoming, irri-
CATION project, has just been COM
pleted by the U. 8. Reclamation
Service, and shows steady and
substantial progress on the part of
the settlers. During the past year
$3.50 acres were cropped and the
total value of all crops was 5 1861
GIG, or an average of $18 55 per
acre.
Compared with the crop returns
of 1914 there was an increase of
1893 in acreage cropped; the to-
tai values increased $373,414, and
the average gross returns per acre
increased from $17.2O to $l8 So.
The most valuable crop produced
was sugar beets, the total acreage
of which was 1872, yielding gross
returns of $537,6i1, or $6S.3O per
acre. Potatoes grown on 1895
acres produced 500, 1888, or $72.21
per acre. Average returns per
acre for other important crops
were as follows: Onions, $165;
stock beets, $49.S9; beans, $40;
barley, SIG 80; wheat, $16.19; mil
let seed, $780,; oats, S11 IS; corn,
Sigh; alfalfa, 1888. In 1915 the
number of irrigated farms was
1,095, an increase of 149 for the
year.
This important work of the
Government has successfully pas
sed the experimental stage and
the valley now takes it's place
among the great producing areas
of the irrigated West. 1t is one
of the important live stock Sec
tions, and hundreds of thousands
of cattle, sheep, and hogs are fed
and fattened here every year for
the worlds markets. Dairying
has become a prominent and prof
liable industry. The numerous
cities and towns in the valley
have enjoyed a successful year in
keeping with the general prosper
ity of the farmers.
