Government Machinery FOR Roads.

Wyoming highway building will be
given added impetus in The ear future
by the addition of bodybuilding ma
~terials used by the wal department,
soon to be turned over to the bureau of
public roads for distribution to the
various states. This action was pro-
vided for by the last congress-, and
with the signing of the peace treaty
much of the road-making material will
be available for use by the states.
Also more thar $45, 900 worth of
motor trucks will be distributed
through the bureau of public roads to
the state highway departments. These
trucks have been declared surplus by
tributed to the states under the pro-
visions of section Z of the postoffice
appropriation bill. They must I've used
by the states on roads constructed in
whole. or in part by Federal aid. for
which 5000, 100000 in addition TO the
former appropriation was given to the
states under the same bill. To ac-

range in capacity from TWO to five tons.

One Man Ships 10000 Cattle.

Ed. l.. Dana. the Wyoming cattle
king, whose ranch home is neal Park
man, in Sheridan county. is preparing
to make his spring shipment of beef.
Six hundred standard size stock cars
will be used in shipping the first in
%staIiment and these cars have been or
dered for July 18th, the enormous size
of the shipment making it necessary
that the cars be ordered sixty days in
advance to give the railroad company
time to assemble them.
Mr.. Dana's operations in the cattle
business. in comparison with the tabled
cattle barons of the good old days.
makes the latter look like a plugged
nickel. This spring he will ship to
the Chicago market approximately 90
900 head. and the 600 cars that will
carry the first shipment will require
at least twenty engines to haul them.
If placed in II string they would
make a train considerably over four
miles long. At the present market
price of ii TO 10 cents. the cattle will
not have to be extremely heavy TO
bring Mr.. Dana a check for between
two and three million dollars.-Sher-

Laramie to Have Midwest Refinery.

According to newspaper reports,
work is now in progress at Laramie
on the buildings for an oil refinery for
the Midwest Company, which, il is
said, will be the largest plant OF the
kind yet built by that company in the
state. Several carloads of material
are already or thc ground and il ~
announced that me plant will b. nurl
ried to completion n the shortast pos-
sible time
The company has purchased q tract
of 200 acses which gives access 10 the
tracks Of the linton Pacific and
Colorado, Wyoming & Eastern, and
which is traversed by n stream which
will afford II large supply of water,
and the site is said to be an ideal one
for refinery purposes.
With the construction of this plant
it would appear that Rock Rivers
plans for a refinery have one giim-
mering, and a considerable check will
thus be put upon the boom enjoyed by

Big Majority for Bond Issue.

The state highway bond issue, upon
which the people of Wyoming voted
on April %, carried by what is prob
ably the largest majority ever given
an issue or a candidate in Wyoming.
Not only that, but the ratio of the
ballots for, over those against, was by
far the largest in the history of the
state.
This was recently announced at the
state capital, after a meeting of the
state canvassing board.
AS shown by the official reports
from the county ~canvassing boards and
approved by the state body, the total
vote for the issue was 17,6S3, while the
total vote against was only al. This
gives a majority of II ,T12, and a ratio
of not quite 10 to 1 of affirmative
votes over the negative votes.
What is believed to be the previous
h~igh-water mark was established last
fall by Congressman Frank w. MondelI
when he secured a majority of more
than IL 900 over Hayden NJ. White.
Washable county captured first hon
ors in. the April election. Its people
cast 1911 affirmative ballots and not a
single negative ballot. Hot Springs
came second with only 8 votes against,
and johnson third, with only 10.
The vote in Carbon county was 500
for, and IL against.

viii Operate Saw Mill.

r. d. Kenney departed last week for
his home in southern Montana. after a
ten days stay here. during which time
he visited nearly all sections within n
radius of 80 miles. Mr.. Kenney is of
the opinion that a period of progress
and prosperity will be enjoyed by the
Platte valley during the next few
years, and he has arranged to engage
in the lumber business here in order
to enjoy a share of that prosperity. He
has purchased the Jensen mill i'm the
upper Spring creek country, and will
return here within a few weeks to put
the plant in operation. He is a lum-
Der man of many years experience and
has mills operating, in other sections
of the country.
According to some local contractors
and builders, the %exorbitant prices
asked for lumber by some dealers in
these parts is greatly retarding build
ing operations in all parts of the val
ley. and with a mill in operation to
furnish native lumber ut a more rea-
sonable figure, many improvements
will be made in this section which
would not be made otherwise.
This development is due to the ac-
tivities of the local Commercial Club,
which brought to MFR: Kenney's notice
the opportunity existing in the valley,
and the sale of the mill and equipment
was contaminated by NJ. b. McKillip,
president of the club.

GINNERS' LAW.

Every farmer and cotton ginner in the state will be glad to learn Of the passage of the Hartsfield Bill No. 33, by the 42nd General Assembly. This bill amends Sections z, 8, 10, 19, 42, 45, 46 and 50 and repeals Sections 43, A, 47, 48 and 55 of Act 266 of the Acts of 1917 known as the Bonded Warehouse, Marketing and Gin Reg ulating Law.
 The Hartsfield Bill was compro- mise measure agreed upon at con- ference between MT. Sands, president of the Farmers Union and W. J. Hartsfield, president of the Ginners' Association. By it's provisions all of the objectional features of the law as regards cotton ginners have been re- pealed and all of the good features have been preserved for the benefit of the farmer.
 The parts of the law repealed were those compelling the ginner to secure bond from some indemnity compa- ny before starting their seasons bus mess, the sampling clause which forced the ginner to draw two sam ples from every bale of cotton ginned and the section attaching a heavy penalty on the ginner for his failure to comply with the provisions of the law. All these objectional features have been absolutely stricken out in the Hartsfield Bill and all that is re- auired of the ginner is to procure a license, which is issued without

CRIMINAL GERMANY AND HET
 ATTEMPTED CAMAFLAUGE.

Germany's latest diplomatic effort has manifested itself in the form of bid for sympathy and the claim that the United States and France owe Germay a debt of gratitude for suc- cor in the past. Germany points to the time in 1862 when, during an economical crisis, she furnished the United States with money, clothes, shoes and machinery. Germany de- clares that Bismarck gave succor to Paris in 1871 after the Franco-Prus- sian war.
 Granting that Germany did all this, the historic fact remains that Ger many was fully reimbursed for her trouble. It is a part of the German system not to extend material aid where there is no hope for financial returns, and Germany has established we'll the fact that the foremost feature of her systematic machinery is to get something for nothing, regardless of law or the expense of blood. Germany will not quit grasping un- til the last straw has disappeared.
 
 Germany should get everything she deserves. And she deserves the treat ment that is due the murderer, the rapist, the arsonist, the robber. Ger many has placed herself on the low level of rattlesnake and the high level of buzzard, and if there is any good remaining in Germany it has not yet developed.
 She cannot camaflauge her guilt.

Place For That Kind of Business

What will apply to one thing will apply to another. If you should want some article in the FURNITURE line the proper place is in the furniture store, and not in some grocery or gen. eral store where furniture is sold merely as a side-line, and where comparatively small se- lection is shown, without a thought as to QUALITY, but only to sell it, if some one hap pens to call for it, or where the stock is out of style, shop worn, marred or perhaps secondhand.
 The FURNITURE STORE where {. full line is shown all the year and every piece BOUGHT WITH A CAREFUL CONSIDERATION AS TO QUALITY, STYLE and USE FULNESS, is the right place to buy furniture.
 Did yod ever stop to figure how much time and money is required to build up good fur niture store, and how much 1t is worth to YOU? Just SUD- pose all the furniture stores were to close and then you can appreciate the efforts we are making in our line.
