The first thing to do is to get a
right-of-way for this main road
thru the valley from Uncle Sam.
1t has nearly all been surveyed by
the county surveyor, and a proper
application to the United States
land Office will get this at no ex-
pense.
Then this road can be improved
every year, instead of the travel
being thrown out of the main road
over hills and in new places.
1t is necessary for this road BUSH

THE AVALANCHE.

(By Edna Paulson.J
The warm, sweet air tossed the
curls out on the night air and
soothed the throbbing temple of
Silvia Van Note as she leaned far
out of the window and tried to
remember. Why did the scent
of the pines haunt her SO tonight
and could she never forget the
voice of the mountaineer call
ing so touchingly Sylvia" When
she thought of these, she always
remembered the gentle caresses of
some one and fundamentally the
word, mother, would come to her
lips. She wondered if she and her
mother had ever been in the noun
tains together.
Her mother had died when she
was ten years old and her last
words to her small daughter
had been always remember L
loved you, dear" Whenever Sylvia
thought very much of this beauti-
full mother, she wept; and she did
SO now. As she wept she thought
she could feel the tender caresses
of her mother, the one she dreamed
ohort =, fhn n,anntaina
Still she sat thus when the
gray stresks of dawn stole over the
eastern horizon, but nevertheless
she intended to start Immediately
for the mountsins-and when Syl-
via intended to do anything she
did that very thing, if it was posi-
BILE.
She went alone with the noun
taineer that day. His valuable
papers had evidently been attend
ed to for he seemed very much at
his ease and sat by her side talk
ing on various subjects until they
reached the avalanche. Sylvia did
not know why she did it, but she
asked the old man if she might go
to the cabin with him, adding,
"you know l didn't get there yes
terday."
He seemed very glad of her COM
pany. They walked silently most
of the time, the silence being brok-
en- now and then by a question
from Sylvia. These he answered
kindly, until they reached his
cabin.
81 suppose this one is different
from most mountain cabins you
have seen2" he asked her. "Well
you see | am not a prospector, or
anything of the kind, | am-well,
l suppose, you might call me a
hermit"
The cabin was built of very
heavy timber and apparently was
quite old. The chinks in the logs
we're filled with moss near the
ground. 1t was rather large with
a huge fire place in one end
The first room was the kitchen and
very much the same as any otheI
kitchen. He led her thence into
a larger room. On the floor was
heavy velvet carpet and the furni

Boost the
Good Roads
The Scenic Highway from Wal
colt to North Park.

Now is the opportune time to
consider the roads of this valley
especially a scenic highway lead
ing through Platte Valley from
Walcott to North Park, to connect
with the road to Laramie and Tie
Siding and the new road from
Denver, which will be completed
into North Park this year. This
is part of the new highway from
Denver direct through Walden,
North Park, Saratoga and Rawlins
to the Yellowstone Park.
The Sun is going to boost for
good roads every day and all the
time. This year there will be
100000 new autos built in the
Uuited States. As soon as the
war is over and war prices have
come down an automobile will be
as cheap as a good team of horses.
We are informed that it costs just
about 500 to actually manufac-
ture a Ford now.
Will Saratoga and the Platte
Valley be satisfied to be side
tracked with poor roads, mud holes,
the main road changed and thrown
out into the sage brush every year,
while Uncle Sam and the state
Highway Commission and the Lin
coin Highway Association make a
boulevard out of the Lincoln High
way Just twenty miles away from
US?
One man through the Lincoln
Highway Association has offered
$4,000 if the county commission,
ers will appropriate as much more
to put in shape one of it's worst
stretches. Bully for him If We
had his name we would be prouC
to publish it.

The Legislature.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 1.-THE
Fourteenth Wyoming Legislature
psssed into history at 9:i5 O'Clock
this morning, when the house and
senate adjourned, sine die, after
continuous session of almost four.
teen hours duration. When the
adjournment was taken more than
100 of the approximately 300 bill
which we're introduced still were
on the files and died with the con-
eIusion of the session. The last
act of the Legislature before adj
iournment was to pass the general
appropriation act which carried
appropriations for the expense of
the state government during the
coming biennial period, approx
mating $l,25O,00O.
The closing week of the session
was not as productive of results
as it might have been. The res
erection of the wet and dry" is-
sue rent the lower house into fac
tons and caused the loss of much
yaluacle time.
Consideration of the School Code
bill, House Bill 209, took up a
great deal of time which virtually
was wasted, the bill in the form
in which it finally was passed be-
ing far different from that in which
it was introduced. AS it went to
the governor it contained provi-
sion only for a state school CON-
mission, all sections bearing on
county school organization having
been stricken out by senate amend
ments. 1t had ceased in fact to
be a School Code" and had be-
come merely a state educational
commission measure.
Little was accomplished on the
closing night of the session except
the passage of the general appro-
pristion act. A deadlock in the
senate, following the adoption of
amendments striking out the ap-
propriation of 500, 900 for the state
immigration commission and in
creasing the contingent fund of
the state land office from $4,000
to $4,000, brought all business to
a standstill and thereafter nothing

lock, which was brought about by
compromise by which the state
land Office contingent was made
$4,000. The immigration COM
mission appropriation was not re-
stored and the commission in con-
sequence will be as inactive during
the coming two years as it has
been during the last four years.

session were passed, these being
