 "lH lWln m hIS Letters From the War" published m the Saturday Evening Post relates this story second hand the original narrator being an EngIisban recently from Consantinople The story is half fiction half foot invention:

Lost Valuable Dogs.

Mr.. Hansen reports the loss of sew

Plan to Bond State for q Concrete
Highway.

Under the caption, Wyoming Con-
crete Road" the American Motorist,
official organ Of the American Auto
mobile Association, published at Wash
ington. D.. O., prints the following:
Should Fred Patee, pioneer member
of the l.. A. W., and now more or less
celebrated as a Wyoming asbestos king,
realize his present ambition, a $1,000
600 concrete road o o will be winding
its even way across the old frontier
state. The proposed highway is to ex-
tend from extreme southeast to- ex-
IRENE northwest, crossing Wyoming's
windswept plains, piercing Americas
most romantic cattle country, and ex-
tending on to the far-famed Yellow
stone National Park.
The tentative plan is to submit a
proposition to the voters at the general
election in November of next year, to
bond the state for $7,OOO,OOO. In the
meantime, Mr.. Patee actively backed
by the Casper Automobile Club and nu-
merous civic organizations of the state,
will devote time, energy and money to
the task Of educating the people" to
the real value of good highways.

NO INCREASE IN GRAZING FEES
Secretary Of Agriculture Announces
That Under Present Conditions
No Change Will BE Made.

The Secretary of Agriculture has no
titled the secretaries of the American
National Live Stock Association and
the National Woolgrowers Association
that, under the present war conditions,
no further general increases would be
made in the grazing fees on the ma
tional forests for the present. Fol-
lowing is the substance Of the letter
addressed to Secretary Houston of the
two associations:
The further study of the value of
grazing privileges on lands within the
different national forests, referred to
i'll my letter of February 1, 1917, has
been made during the past summer and
indicates that In general the. fees
charged this year are still below the
real value of the forage. In the mean
time, however, many important chang
es have taken place, due to the pres
ent war conditions, and the stockmen
have been called upon to overcome
many difficulties in order to keep up
the country's supply of beef, mutton,
hides and wool, not only for our own
use but also to help meet the needs of
the Allies.
In view Of this situation, 1 have de-
cided to defer action in connection with
any further increase in grazing fees on
the national forests for the present.
Whether the postponement will con-
tinue until the close of the war, 1
cannot now determine, since 1 have no
way of forecasting probable economic
Developments. For the time being, the
grazing fees now in force will be con-
tinued, with the exception Of such mi
nor changes a may seem advisable to
adjust and c~orrelate the fees between
certain forests or groups of forests"

toga Saturday afternoon. Permanent
Officers Of the company were elected,

coal for all local demands providing a
sufficient force Of miners can be Sc
cured. The scales have been installed,
all necessary buildings practically
completed and the roads put In good re-
pair. The coal is of excellent quality
II the company will undoubtedly do
Il large business in supplying this com
modify throughout the valley.
1t was decided ut this meeting To
raise the price Of lump coal to 81 :
per ton at he mine, this increase of
zoe per ton being found necessary TO
cover the tax imposed by the state
under the provisions of the yorkmen,s
compensation law.

FOUR SCORE YEARS.
Eightieth Birthday of EstimabIe Lady
is Made Memorable by Thought
fulness Of Many Friends.

Mrs. Harriet Grady vas most de-
lightfully surprised last Friday after
noon by a large company of her Sara
toga friends, the day being her eigh-
tieth birthday, and the afternoon prov
ed a most enjoyable one for all present
and particularly so for the guest Of
honor.
The self-invited guests brought many
good things to eat and served a birth
day dinner the like of which is not
seen every day. The birthday cake, a
most elaborate specimen of the culinary
art, was made by Mrs. NJ. NJ. Gushing,
and was pronounced by all to be most
beautiful to the eye and delicious to
the taste. The cake was adorned with
pink roses, the bouquet in turn being
ornamented with a $500 gold piece.
Mrs. Grady was the recipient of
many and varied presents as memen-
toes of the occasion. Among these
was a great bouquet Of carnations, pur-
chased by the company of ladies, and
presented most appropriately by Mrs.
d. L. Winsor. The latter part of the
afternoon was devoted to cards and
other pastimes.
The ladies who so successfully plan
ned and carried out the preparations
for the happy affair were: Mesdames

WAR TAX EFFECTIVE SATURDAY
Great Income for War Purposes from
a Multitude Of Sources VIII Re-
suit from Revenue Measure.

New taxes in great variety will be-
come effective on December 1, under
the terms of the recently enacted rev.
enue law.
among the taxes hat will be exact
od beginning the first of next month
is n tax on the issue of capital stock
Of corporations and a tai that must be
mid when shares are transferred from
the treasury of u corporation to indi-
yldual stockholders. The law provides
n tax of five cents on each 800 of face
value of capital stock. Oil companies
that are naming millions as their capt.
tai stock will be seriously affected by
the measure. Some authorities have
expressed the belief that the tax re-
uuired will act as a blue sky" law and
prevent the organization of many COM
panies that have poor prospects.
Persons who renew promissory notes
on or after December /, will be obliged
to pay II tax of two cents for every
800 represented by the face of the
note. 1t is considered probable that
thousands of dollars worth of notes
that are due shortly after December 1
will be renewed before the first of the
month, their makers thereby escaping
the tax for a time.
Sale of land and property when the
consideration amounts to 800 and is
less han $500, will be taxed so cents.
The tax will be 80 cents for each addi-
tional $500 in value.
Taxes will be collected after Deem
side the United States, Canada or Mex
leo.

WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES.
A Rare Opportunity for Small Savers
Who Make Investments ut 4 Per
Cent Compound Interest.

Hon. w. c. Irvine Of Ross, Wyo.,
has been appointed by Secretary of the
Treasury w. G.. McAdoo to have
charge of the Wa Savings Certificates
campaign in this state. He has opened
headquarters in Cheyenne and is now
actively engaged in the organization of
his office and the committees through
out the state. He will have a state ad-
visory committee and a chairman in
each county to conduct the local york.
II is expected that the state will be dis
tricted into small subdivisions and ev-
erybody will be given an opportunity
to purchase these certificates. They
will bear interest at 4 per cent per an
num-, compounded quarterly, thus max
ing them an attractive Investment for
small sums of money.
The amount of war savings certifi-

Are You One of Them?

There are a great many people who
would be very much benefited by TAX
ing Chamberlain's Tablets for a weak
or disordered stomach. Are you one
of them? Mrs. M. R. Scarf, Bald
winsville, N. Y, relates her exper-
fence in the use of these tablets: 81
had a bad spell with my stomach
about six months ago, and was trou-
bled for two or three weeks with gas
and severe pains in the pit of my
stomach. Our druggist advised me to
take Chamberlain's Tablets. I took a
bottle home and the first dose relieved
me wonderfully, and / kept on taking
them until l was cured" These tab
lets do not relieve pain, but after the
pain has been relieved may prevent
its recurrence.
