ilton, formerly of this city as the
Rector of st. Barnabas Church,
entered into eternal rest on Fri
day, June End, at Powell, Wyom-
ing, and his remains laid to rest
in the cemetery at that city on
Monday.
Rev. Hamilton was a resident
here for three or four years, and
during his stay with rs gained
the friendship of all who met him.
He was a gentleman of the old
school, and it was indeed a plea
sure to listen to him in his enter
tanning manner. He was in his
67th year, and leaves a wife and
three daughters who have the
sympathy of this community.

June 23rd, Friday, will be the
Second Annual Roundup of the
Saratoga Valley Stock Growers

be called for the purpose of tran
sacting some very important bus
mess for both large and small
stockmen, and it is to the interest
of every man in the stock bust
ness to be on hand at that time.
The meeting will be called at
1920 a. m.
On the same date the Carbon
County Fair Association hold
their annual meeting for the pur-
pose of transacting certain bust
ness and the election of directors
In the evening at 6 p. IN. the
business men of Saratoga give a
free smoker and lunch for the
members of the stock association,
and the association gives a ban
quet to the ladies' of the associa-
ton at the same hour, where all
of the ladies may enjoy a banquet
by themselves at the expense of
the stockmen.
In the evening a big dance will
be given and every one who en-
joys a good dance and music
should be on hand to shake their
feet. Everyone is assured one big
time.
We would tell you the big Sc
cret of the stockmen's meeting
but we are leaving that to the Of
fcers to spring on you. We will
give you one pointer, though, be
on hand and boost the biggest
thing that has come your way in
some time.

Ball Players Wanted.

The United States Marine Corps
is in the market for baseball play
ers.
Recruiting officers have been
directed to bend their energies to-
ward the securing of f~rst-class
ball players to fill the teams rep
resenting the Corps in various
parts of the world.
The Marine Corps teams at Pc
king, China, and Managus, Nj
caragua, are considered by many
travellers to be thoroughly repre-
sentative American teams of near
big league calibre.

100000 Visitors.

The half million mark has been
passed in 1916 attendance at the
Panama California International
Exposition. In view of the fact
that the early months are consid-
cred low from an attendance stand
point along the coast, the showing
is highly gratifying to Exposition
heads. President G.. A. Davidson
points to the fact that the atten-
dance is greater than for the same
period last year, and is firm in the
belief that July, August and Sep
TENDER will bring the biggest
months enjoyed by the EXPOSE
ton.

wrong Again"

entitled Wrong Again" which
makes us think of the dark ages
IN which to think was to be ex.
communicated.
In this article Editor Little has
stated that he has aimed with
might and main ito keep out oil
the controversy" Now it seems
to us that if the editor had kept
quiet he might have succeeded in
keeping out of the controversy
but an explanation that is moi an
explanation is a mighty poor
"keeping-out" process.
On May Is the retiring council
OF Encampment, according to Ed
ltor Little, made a Thorough can
vas of the ballots" and decided
that Mr.. Englehart was elected
mayor, thereby reversing the can
vas made by the judges of cleo
ton held on May 9.
AS a matter of fact the citizens
of this place have not been accus-
toned to having the retiring may
or and council make a Thorough
canvas of the ballots" which are
sealed and placed in the ballot
box, which in turn is placed 10
the custody of the city clerk.
1t is an unusual thing for our
citizens to be told that our retir-
ing mayor and council have open
ed the ballot box and made a re-
count, and we are hardly content
ed to sit by and have this sort of
thing 90 ~n-noticed.
We believe that our mayor and
council have a right to make a
''poll of the returns" and then au-
thorize the city clerk to notify
the persons who have been elect
ed This, we believe, is within
the duty of our retiring officers.
There was no contest of the
election and therefore there could
not be a recount and if there was
a contest we believe that the re-
count should have been made by
the county clerk and two justices
of the peace. How the retiring
council and mayor found that
they were entitled to make this
recount we were unable to say
until we we're told that the best
lawyer in the state of Wyoming
had advised them to do o
Now the good citizens are ask
ing how any one can possibly
know whether the mayor and
council did actually open the bal
lot box and make a recount. Well,
We shall tell you. The writer and
two other citizens went to the Of
fee of the Record man and learn.
ed from him that in the presence
of the council, composed of Geo.
Eberhart, j @. Rankin and A. j.
Chichester. mayor Ed. 81. Parkinson
unlocked the ballot box, then op-
ened the ballots and made a re-
count and found that the old count
was not right. This is the first
case of the old council and mayor
forming an election board and if
this is law and in accordance with
the statutes of the state, then we
are willing to confess that in the
future there is no occasion for the
town of Encampment to hold an
election. The expenses of holding
an election will be useless, the
council will become self-perpetu-
ating and the present ineumbents
San perpetuate their interests in
definitely.
As a matter of fact the old
council and mayor have no bust
ness "tampering" with the ballot
box or the ballots. There was a
poll book in the hands of the judi
ges which the canvasing body
could have obtained by simply
asking for it,
The presumption is that the
canvasing body wanted the ballots

otner lot OF Dad boys" will in the
future open a box under similar
circumstances.
In this article Editor Little
says I'VE don't believe there was a
mothers son of the board that
made the canvas who then thought
the vote would be changed" To
me this is a most astounding
statement to come from a man
who by his occupation should
have at least some idea of what is
right. In the name of law what
was this "bunch" of investigators
doing with an opened ballot box
if they suspected nothing wrong
in the boxP This looks like poor
logic in a pinch.
The Record man believes in
peace at any price" and for this
reason he humbly submitted to
the encroachments of the mayor
and council. We do not blame
the editor for not mentioning this
affair in his paper, in fact if we
were in this kind of a "muddle"
we would not mention it even in
the forest lest some one might
chance to be within hearing dis
lance.
Our learned editor bubbles ov.
er the breaking into the ballot
box" now, as to whether the hon
orable body of investigators"
broke into or unlocked the box is
a matter of little importance.
1t matters little to you whether
a man unlocks your door and
steals or whether he removes a
pane of glass and then steals it; it
is what he does after entering
your house that interests you, the
householder. Our editors argu-
ment recalls the philosophic dis
putes or discussions of former
days, one of which was as to wne-
Their it is the rope or the man who
leads the ass to water. Our wor-
thy mayor seems to think more
accurately than our editor.
Mr.. Parkinson has finally come
to the sensible conclusion that he
wishes he had been out of town
on the 18th of May. This is a
reasonable conclusion and would
have solved the whole difficulty.
frequently men think better af-
ter than before.
Another assertion before me is
1--WE don't believe the supporters
of Kearns are sore because the
vote WAS changed" No, we are
not sore because the vote is
changed, but because the mayor
and council took upon themselves
to change the vote. Who would
not expect the vote to be changed
when an opposing party went into
the ballot boxp
Justice comes from those who
are disinterested persons, not from
partisans. One of the council, A.
j. Chichester, insisted on being
one of the judges of the election
and when he could not make that
stick he assumed the role of chal-
lenger for his ticket. He spent
the day reading the law to the
judges and challenging those who
came to vote, asking them on
which side they were going to
vote. He made himself SO OBJ
noxious to the judges that he was
at length ordered to desist or be
asked to retire from the polling
place. Then later this gentleman
was one of those celebrities who
opened the ballot box and with
out a suspicion of foul play on
the part of the election board"
with child-like simplicity and Gre
dulity, proceeded to assume the
Office of county clerk in a con-
tested case and boosted that they
were acting on the advice received
from lone of the able attorneys of
the state of Wyoming" We do
