92nd

James M. Sterrett, one of the
well known old timers of this val
ley, passed his 92nd birthday on
Sunday, the 18th of December,
1916. Mr., Sterrett is quite fee
BILE from his advanced age, and
his eye sight has failed badly of
late years, bat retains a wonder
full memory. He has been under
the direct care and support of his
son, L. G.. Sterrett, who owns a
ranch four miles south of Sarato-
ga, for over the past 5 years
Mr.. SteIrett is a native of Penn
s%ylvania, and came to this valley
v 80 years ago, and as a civil
engineer he did much of the sur
veying of the land in it's early his
tory, and layed out the first town
lot in Saratoga.

Paid $500 for Bull.

A. II. Hewes of Sundance was
here last week to view the thor
oughbred Hereford cattle at the
Riverview Hereford cattle ranch
and purchased Wyoming Carlos, a
16 months old bull from Capt.
Davis, which he shipped from
here by express, Friday evening.
Mr.. Hewes was more than pleased
with the fine cattle he saw and
spoke in the highest terms of the
reputation of the Davis herd, and
was exceptionally pleased with
the bull that he purchased.
j. A. Shade was here just a few
days before Mr.. Hewes, from his
big thoroughbred farm in King
sley, Iowa, and purchased 20
.yearling heifers from the same
herd, paying $6 200 for the bunch
and also a three months old bull
calf, the son of the Grand Cham
pion, Wyoming" for $500 and a
herd bull, son of Beau Carlos End,
at a fancy figure. This bull is
better than a half brother to the
grand champion, wyoming
that brought MI. Davis $1,000 al
the Denver Livestock Show in
Denver last spring.

Handmade Shoes.

John Schaffer, old time shoe
maker, in the employ of W. G.
Edwards, has been turning out
some of the very best boots and
shoes, we have ever seen. These
shoes and boots are handmade
throughout, of the very best ma
terisl obtainable, and at the pres
ent cost of good shoes, it will pay
any man or woman to have him
make a pair, as they will not only
outlast two to three pairs of ordi-
nary shoes, but they will give a
lasting comfort, as they are made
to fit you individually. He has
been kept busy for several months
making boots and shoes for ev.
erybody around here and his
work speaks for itself in the wear
and TT.

Government Bridges.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 18th
In order that local committees
may not have to bear the burden
of the cost of construction of
bridges and culverts or roads
made necessary by the establish
ment and operation of govern
ment reclamation projects, Sena-
tor Warren has introduced a bill,
which, if it becomes law, will i'm
pose such costs or the Federal
Government. The bill provides:
That in cases where bridges and
culverts or roads may be rendered
appropriate or necessary by the
construction made, by the author
ity of the Secretary of the Inter-
ior, of canals and latersls pursu-
ant to the act entitled, "An Act
appropriating the receipts from
the sale and disposal of public
lands in certain states and terri
tories TO the construction of irri-
CATION works for the reclamation
of arid lands" such bridges and
culverts or roads shall be con-
structed at the expense of the
government, to be paid for out of
the reclamation fund devoted to
the particular project.

Returns From the East.

l.. E. Tichenor, who has been
east on a trip on business con-
nected with his wheel invention,
returned Saturday. MI. Tichen-
or says that the war business has
pretty near over-run the east. He
stated that you could hardly get a
room in a hotel in the city of De
troit, and that every factory and
business is crying for men. They
are paying mechanics as high as
81 per hour, and that the price
for everything had gone out of
sight. Meals in hotels and res-
taurants, and on the dining cars
has almost doubled. The auto
mobile factories are working over
time and none of them would talk
contracts for any new business.

Children's Home Society.

There Is a general impression
abroad that this society maintains
an Institution or home, on the
plan of an Orphanage, at Wheat.
land; this is a mistake. The
question of institutional life for
dependent children has been &C.
rl~moniously discussed in the past,
and its advantages and disadvan-
tages have been threshed out to a
greater or less degree of 6nality
at the National Conference of
Charities and Correction. Out of
the maze of conflicting opinion it
Is gathered that institutions have
their proper place in child well
fare work and serve their own
useful ends, but that where it is
possible to place dependent chill
dren in suitable private families,
they will have a better opportun-
ity of making a uccess of life.
1t is on this principle that the
Wyoming Society is conducted.
There are various ways in which a
child may become a ward of the
Society; it may loose its parents
by death, may be abandoned by
them, or may be taken from them
by order of the court because they
have proved themselves unfit to
rear their offspring. In any of
these cases, if the superintendent
of the society, Miss Allie Jewell
of Wheatland, is notified, she
takes the child and endeavors to
procure for it a suitable home.
When the child can be satisfac-
torily placed with relatives who
will take proper care of it, the
difficulty is considered practically
solved; if not, it is lodged tenn
porarily with a good motherly
woman until a permanent home is
found. investigation is always
made as to the character of par
ties seeking children from the
society and ample guarantees are
required to make certain that the
moral and spiritual atmosphere of
their homes is of high standard.
In every instance a complete
record of all necessary informa-
ton concerning the child is made
and filed away, though for obvi-
Gus reasons this is not open for
the inspection of the public.
Whether a child is adopted or is
given only a temporary home, the
society shows an unfagging in-
terest in its welfare by keeping in
touch with it until it reaches the
age of twenty-one.

Petition

All taxpayer of 1915 in Carbon
county are asked to have the
county turn over assessment.
In the following letter of Sec
retary Casteel of the Carbon
Comfy Fair Association to Vice
4 President Delaney, Mr.. Casteel
eyplsins the conditions of the
faxes collected for the County
Fair in 1915, and the petition to
the County Commissioners, to
! turn over this money is at the
4 p~ostofice in this city and every
taxpayer should sign it, that the
Fair receive this money. In sew
eral cases the levy does not
amount to over 10 to Is cents,
but it is just as necessary to have
each party sign, no matter how
small or how large, in order that
this money be released.
The letter reads as follows, and
very clearly sets forth the condi-
tions:
Encampment, Wyo., Dec. l6.
J. b. Delaney, Vice Pres.
Saratoga, Wyo.
Dear Mr.. Delaney:
Last week L spent some time
before the Board of County Com.
m]issioners trying to get some
kind of a settlement for the Fair
money 1t appears that the spe.
cial tax levy was made without
any adequate law to enforce COL
lection, or in other words it was
unconstitutional. Therefore the
Union Pacific refused to pay. We
are entering suit against this
company to try and settle the
matter in some legal way. In the
meantime there is something like
100000 now in the County Trea-
sury that has been collected from
the taxpayers. The county can
return this money to the in.
dlvldual taxpayers unless a suit of
kind was brought; they can
use 1t for any other county
purpose and cannot pay it over to
the Fair Association unless they
have orders from the taxpayers to
80. l am sending you an or
der which l wish you would have
all the Saratoga taxpayers for the
year 1915 sign that you can pos
Slbly get. l thought you would
have an excellent opportunity to
see all of them as they come in
their mail. Have them sign
with ink. You can explain that
ms money has been paid into the
treasury and that they will
not get it back, that by signing
enclosed order the money will
be turned over to the Fair Associ.
alton. Every cent of this money
that we a get will be that much.
Very truly yours,
Ira b. Casteel,

New York, July 1.-Control of the Sun and the Evening Sun yesterday passed to Frank A. Munsey by pur- chase of William c. F,cick's interest in those properties. The sale was the result of negotiations which have been pending for some time, having in view the anna lgamation of the Sun with the New York Press, which MT Munsey bought in 1912.
 In closing the deal the Sun having passed to MT. Munsey, bought from him the Press, thus acquiring that newspapers Associated Press fran chise. The amalgamated paper will be called the Sun and although the name of the Press will be carried be- low the title for a time, eventually it will be dropped altogether.
 The combined paper will be issued at one cent beginning with Mondays issue. MT. Reick and Edward P. Mitchell, chief editorial writer on the Sun for many years, will remain with the organization.

 But of all the receptions we have received, none surpass those in little old Connecticut. At Danbury it was that we were given the greatest ova- 1 tion. Our division passed through l there at 4 a. m., but even at that im- l possible hour a special committee, | hundreds of citizens and a band lined | the station platform and in unison expressed their patriotism. The fact they provided a large quantity of elegant sandwiches Gust like the kind "mother used to make") to say nothing of cigars and cigarettes helped greatly to boost the Danbury stock in the eyes of the boys of Com pany I.
 Sleep in Day Coaches Our division seems to be in excel lent spirits even though they have ab- normal appetites and the mess-ser- geants and cooks do not seem to be able to satisfy what is no more than reasonable demand made by the "in her man."
