RANGE PARK" is NAME
Selected by Laramie Citizens for Vast
Playground on Mountain Top Be-
tween That City and Saratoga

Snowy Range Park" has been Sc
lected by IA committee of Laramie men.
appointed to moose All appropriate
name for the great vacation ground Oh

west of Laramie, which not only con
tains some of the grandest scenery 10
he found in the west. but also the
greatest number of beautiful lakes,
Astounding with finny residents. to be
found in any like area in the country.
While Laramie apparently lays indi-
vidual claim 10 his vast area of noun
eral miles to Saratoga. and up to the
present time is just as easy of access
from this side as from the eastern
slope. Laramie citizens. however,
have been successful in getting large
appropriations for the construction of
III auto road from that city to the lake
region. and this will probably be com
pleted within Il year or two. Although
the ascent from this side is somewhat
TOO rough and too steep for automo-
bile travel. il is said that an automo-
bile roa with "A very easy grade could
be built in from this side for Il great
deal less money than will he required
ON the Laramie side. y great many
Platte Valley residents take advantage
of the opportunity to visit his beauti-
full region each year, and it is only a
question of time until Il highway will
be built in from this side of the range.
Concerning the choice of a name for
this natural forest playground. the
Laramie Republican says:
In the choice of this name. the
judges felt that they had one which
was both descriptive and distinctive,
and which combined the good qualities
of many of the other names sent in
Snowy Range is descriptive because
it immediately calls to mind the peaks
crowned with their eternal SHOWS. the
silver cold lakes, the alpine flowers and
the thousand and one features which
will make this park n of the worlds
wonder spots. 1t is distinctive be
cause the park is to he located i'll the
Snowy Range country, and nowhere
else Is there Il range of mountains.
which carries that name,
For secon choice. the judges Sc
lected Medicine Bow Park but this
name lacked the quality of the first
choice-that is it did not seem quite
SO distinctly to belong To Laramie
ties, Il trip to the Snowy Range has
long been Synonymous with n real out
ing. and for that very reason the
judges decided on Snowy Range Park
because it has become so closely asso
ciated in the minds of the residents
with the natural playground with
which the city has been endowed"

SAM b. sTOY PASSES TO REWARD.
Was One Of the Most Prominent In
Men of the Pacific Dis
trict-Wen Known Here.

Sam b. Stoy, only brother of Mrs.
Gustave Jensen of Saratoga. died in
San Francisco ON Sunday, August -.
after an operation for the removal of
a tumor, from which he had suffered
for several months. He was well known
in Saratoga, having stopped here at
numerous times to visit his sister.
Mr.. Stoy was d years of age at the
time of his death. He had risen from
the ranks to one of the highest places
in Pacific coast insurance circles. He
was manager of the Pacific Coast de-
partment of the London X Lancashire
Insurance Company, and also managed
the operations of the Orient Insurance
Company, of which he was a director.
In the Pacific board he occupied the
responsible position of chairman of the
executive committee and was also
chairman of the rates committee. He
had held other positions OF prominence
and trust, testifying TO The high regard
in which he was held by his business
associates.
Concerning the deceased, the San
Francisco Underwriters Report Of
August 26th had the following to say {:
'Srhat the ways of Providence are
beyond the comprehension of men has
again been demonstrated in the I'M
timely passing of Sam b. Stoy, man
ager of the London & Lancashire,
which occurred Sunday morning, Aug
ust %. Strong, vigorous. able, a SPLEEN
did specimen of manhood, and at the
height of his career. he was the last
man one would have thought of as a
mark for the grim Destroyer. His
striking personality and marked abil-
ity in the underwriting field, as well
as his ~unfailing courtesy and warmth
of heart, made hin a distinguished and
beloved figure on the street, and the
made n greater vacancy or caused
wider and keener regret.
IF men had been told to choose the
most popular and highly regarded in
raj manager IN San Francisco, the
choice would surely have fallen or
Sam Stoy. No N knew him but to re-
spect him. no one was his friend who
did not learn to love him. One of his
associates has well said of him. He
did not know o to do anything but
big, manly, helpful things, n never
missed an opportunity to bestow a fa-
vor.'"
Mrs. Jensen and daughter, Miss Re
gina, went to California at once upon
receipt of new of the critical illness
of Mr.. Stoy. and attended the last sad
rites on Wednesday of last week. They
left for home on Sunday and arrived
here ON Tuesday evening.

THE WAR WAS A DREAM.

At the Cramp yard, Philadelphia /;
the United States is building the big
gest warship on record. 1t is a mon
ster battle cruiser, a thousand feet
long and of sixty thousand tons dis.
placement. Twelve siXteen-inch guns
will constitute it's main batteries and
t will exceed the speed of the Lusi-
tania by ten miles an hour. The total
cost Of the monster will be fifty
million dollars. Mr.. Charles NJ.
Schwab plans to build flotilla OF
such vessels.
The arguments for the expensive
construction of more numerous and
larger battleships which Mr. SthwaD
puts forward have familiar ring to
them-a tone which we frequently
heard long before the war. "Ihc
building of enough of these ships,
saws Mr.. Schwab, twill be simple
way of maintaining peace with the
world. Not that the fighting men de-
sire peace, but because of the TACT
that when we have such formidable
array of power it is not likely that
any country will take it upon itself
TO encroach upon our rights. These
new ships will be no more powerful
and speedy than they should be Tor
the protection of this great United
States of America
So the war was dream after al;
it never happened. The huge naVles
of Germany and England and France
prevented it. Each country was afriad
of the others on account of their big
battleships and submarines or else
we would have seen some nasty
fighting in 1914 and later. It's up 20

crushed and shattered industrial sys-
TENS of our neighbors across the
pond and explain to US why Europe
is the unhappy continent at this

KEEPING THE PRICE UP.

Just now we are being advised, as
we were about this time last year, to
lay in the winters supply of coal. The
advice is good if there was a chance
to follow it. But in the language of
one Of our merchant princes, there
ARE" no coal. One of the coal deal.
ers of the city has been making az
effort to buy coal to enable the rnp =.
pie to follow the good advice girea,
and up to this date only two cars of
coal have been bought, and these " c
cars cannot be delivered ant:l Nov.
ember. Other coal dealers advise us
that they are having a like expe-
rience.
In view of the fact that coal is
not to be had, we are unable to ascer-
tain just what end is to be served by
advising people to buy coal, unless
perhaps the demand from the peo-
pie, and their persistent efforts to
get coal when it cannot be had, shall
serve the purpose of keeping the
price up around the present figures,
which is a little more than seven dol
lars per ton at the mines, represent
ing retail price in Abbeville of
about twelve dollars and fifty cents
per ton.
At this season of the year, before
the war, the coal operators were al
ways in the market. Coal was offered
not so many years ago in the spring
months at one dollar and fifty cents
per ton at the mines. 1t was sold in
Abbeville for less than FIVE dollars
per ton. Now the price at the mines
is more than four times the former
price. 1t seems to US, in view of
these figures, that it would be good
time to advise people to buy wood,
if it is to be had, and better still toj
cut and haul it, where landowners
may do so, and to lessen the demand
for coal in every way. Unless this is
done, coal will sell in Abbeville for
fifteen dollars per ton before March.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 1920.
ONE.EIGHTY-NINE.

The peope are forgetful. Did not
Cotton Ed tell US that cotton sold
lust after the Civil War for one
eighty-nine., and that the cotton far
mer had been robbed ever since, and
would be until the staple went back
to that figure and did he not run for
the Senate in order 70 get where he
might be of assistance to US farmers?
Well. then, hasn't he put cotton up to
forty-three, we'll on its way to one
eighty-nine? Do the people expect
Ed to do the whole job IN a day!
Fighting Wall Street and the cotton
manufacturers, (or malefactors) to
saw nothing of the cotton buyers in
Abbeville, is no war to be won in a
summer campaign. Ed must have
time to finish the job. Therefore
when so many candidates are being
prominently mentioned" for Eds
place, may we not ask whether it is
the result of a concerted movement
to keep cotton from going to Eds
figures? Nobody else has ever gotten
the price up as high as it is now, and
it is dangerous to swap horses in
mid-stream, or anywhere else, un
less you have money to throw away.
Unless somebody has higher figures
than Ed, and can show how these
figures are to be reached, we are in
clineG to think that the people who
raise the cotton will follow proved
leader.
Nothing here said, however, is to
deter the young men of the gradual
ing class from telling US how 70 save
the country, nor should the republl~
cans and democrats in the national
conventions fail to "view with
alarm" anything that scares them.

THE FOLLY OF THE BONUS.

Stimson, former secretary of war, an
annual expenditure by the federal
government of half billion odllars
Will be required to care 7or the SOL
r!iers and sailors discharged from the
military service, after the war, part
ly or wholly disabled from wounds
or disease. That sum is equivalent to
the interest at i per cent. on bonds
:utaling more than twelve billion dol
lars.
Opinion is unanimous in the Unit
ed States that the men wIo left the
service with health impaired deserve
The care of their country.
We suppose that Mr.. Stimson's es-
innate is too high, but it may be
halved and still $25O,OOO,0O0, or the
interest on more than six billions Of
dollars, would be required 10 meet
the needs of the sick and crippled
