NEW ROADS TO WEALTH

NEW ROADS TO WEALTH
There are several new roads to
wealth that are awaiting development
+by incentive genius, and the man who
succeeds in perfecting an idea that
meets the popular demand will receive
rich reward. Some of these opportu-
mites were described recently at
meeting Of the Sphinx Club in New
York, the speaker offering these sug-
gestions by which fame and fortune
may be achieved.
l. Invent new automobile fuel
cheaper than gasoline and as good, or
a carburetor that will convert kero--
sene or some other inexpensive fuel
INTO thoroughly efficient power.
2. Invent tire that is absolutely
puncture- proof and as anti-skid as a
chain.
| 8. A non-leakable fountain pen,
easily tillable, with an ink well that
cannot be upset, and that works auto
matically for filling the pen. =, -.
4. A shoe that fastens with cou-
pie of snaps instead of laces or but
tons.
5. A quick-ftting corset that clips
tight to the figure without lacing.
+. A moth-proof wardrobe for sum-
mer homes, with an attachment to re-
move the smell of camphor or tar

Duplicate Brands.

Very often the question is ask
ed: why is there duplicate brands
on the state records?" Nearly ev-
cry mail brings in an inquiry of
this kind: Before 1909 the record
ing of brands was done by the
county clerks of the various coun-
ties. The same brand could be
recorded to different parties in ev-
cry county in the state. There
have been several where the
same brand has been allowed to
two parties who resided just
ACROSS the county line from each
other, and not more than twenty
miles apart, this has caused a
great deal of confusion. When
the state took over the brands in
1909 all of the brands ON record
in the counties and which were
properly certified had to be &C.
cepted as state brands as the par
ties having them recorded had
complied with the law then in
effect. Since 1909 no duplicate
brands have been allowed.
Hurry! Do it now! You stock
men who don't want to loose YOU

today.

has acknowledged his sin, and
makes restitution, for the hun
bred dollars WAS in the letter all
right. We fully forgive him his
fault, and sincerely hope his con-
science will cease from troubling
him any longer.
While we did not know that
this gentleman had killed and eat
en- u calf, we knew that this
kind of work was going on in the
valley at that time, and may be
going on yet for all we know.
Now if there are any others who
have killed aud eaten any of u
cattle and sheep unknown to us,
we would be very much pleased to
have them relieve their conscience
in the same substantial manner.

Killed Calf.

The following was this week re-
ceived from 81. d. Blydenburgh,
of the Jack Greek Land & Cattle
Co., which contains some very I'M
usual information:
We have just had an experience
that We do not believe has ever
happened to any other stockman
in this valley.
A short time ago We received a
letter from a former resident of
the valley, asking if We were own
ers of cattle bearing a certain
brand, that ranged on Jack creek,
twenty six years ago. We answer
ed him that we were, and that we
still used that brand on our cattle
aud sheep.
You can imagine our surprise
when we received the following
letter from him by return mail.
"Many years ago L killed and
ate a young calf on Jack creek
branded with your brand. L die
not need to do this as | had stocl
of my own l could have killed, sc

receives such a letter, that W,

their conscience, send the none.

To Publish Credit Guide.

The Merchants Mercantile Co.
of Oregon is preparing to publish
a guide for this district including
Saratoga. By this system this
county will be put in direct touch
with the credit conditions all over
the country. Whenever anyone
moves here from any part of the
United States, the merchants here
will at once be informed through
this company as to how the party
paid his bills where he formerly
lived. These credit guides are
made up of districts covering
nearly every state in the union
They are made from the combined
experience of all the merchants in
each of these districts, and each
merchant rates his own customers.
Before a customer is rated he is
given notice by letter that he will
be rated and given "a chance to
pay up his old accounts and thus
secure a good rating.
Each merchant and professional
man is furnished with a copy Of
the guide so that he car look uI

Western Land Bills
(By II. Fl. Barrow)

The House has passed the oil
leasing bill, the w~aterpower bill
and the section homestead bill,
and these matters go to the senate
for further consideration. While
it will be interesting to see these
bills as they passed the House,
this will not give much enlighten-
ment on what the measures will
contain if finally enacted. Dur.
ing the consideration of these
three measures in the House, a
vigorous campaign headed by
Congressman Mondell helped to
smooth out some of the rougher
places; some very Objectionable
features were allowed to pass the
House with the certainty that
they would be corrected by the
Senate, so that the real expression
of the lower body was not given
in the bills as passed.
As a member of the Senate Pub
lie Lands Committee, Senator
Clark is expected to take the lead
in al effort to straighten out the
Objectionable features in these
measures at they are taken up by
the committee, and may be ex-
pected to put up a strong fight
for the best interests of the peo-
pie of the west. How successful
he will be-, against a larger ad-
m%inistration majority in the SEN
ate than in the House, and with
the Secretary of the Interior and
others behind the bill as intro
duced, cannot be said at this time.
Senator Clark, in all legislation,
works on the theory that it is cas-
Ter to convince a dozen than fifty
and prefers to use his strongest
arguments before a committee ra-
Their than before the Senate. He
will undoubtedly carry his fight
to the floor of the Senate, howev-
er, if unable to make the COM
mittee see his way on these bills
of such importance to the west.
The House hurried these three
measures through because it was
desired to get them out of the
way of that body at an early date.
1t is not expected the Senate will
proceed with such haste, and the
probabilities are that these mea-
sures will not reach definite action
until along in the summer, if they
are not sidetracked entirely by
other matters.

$4,000 BULL
The L. G. Davis Thoroughbred Hereford
Wyoming is Grand Champion.

wyoming" the % months
thoroughbred Hereford bull, own
ed and raised by Capt. Davis of
this city, was awarded the Grand
Champion prize at the Denver
stock show, winning over all COM
ers from some of the finest herds
from Iowa to the Pacific coast.
This bull vas Immediately pur.
chased by one of the biggest bree-
ders Of the state of Iowa for $4,000.
1t WAS not the intention of Capt.
Davis to dispose of the bull when
he took him to Denver, but the
offer was tempting, as we'll as the
fact that Mr.. Davis has many
bulls on his big Hereford ranch
on the river just south of Sara
toga, including the sire and dam
Of "Wyoming."
1t is a fact, so stated by some
fifty people from this valley who
visited the stock show, that the
Saratoga valley was the best rep
resented of any portion of the
West, and our entire exhibit
would have done credit to any
state.
Henry Flohr, up on Beaver
creek, even had a car of hogs that
made an excellent showing. Hun
ter, Casteel & Hunter took the
biggest steer in the world from
this valley, which attracted much
attention. Canary & Sons took a
fine car of bulls that we're a cred
it. The car of heifers which Capt.
Davis took, besides one or two
other bulls, made a fine exhibit
ton. Mr.. Davis got from $500 to
$500 for the heifers, while one
other bull brought $l450.
Those who attended the show
can not say enough in praise of it,
which was much larger this year
than ever before and bids fair to
equal the once famous Chicago
show. Ex.Gov. Brooks stated to
the Cheyenne Tribune:
81 was indeed proud of Wyom-
ing when the beautiful 28-months-
old Hereford bull "Wyoming,n
raised and owned by l.. G. Davis
OF Saratoga, was awarded the
grand championship over all COM
petitors, including the stock of
the famous McCook herd of Mon
tana."
