Lending Their Support.

The county seat row owe in the
new county of Sublette has been set
tied by vote of the people this week.
but today's papers failed to bring any
news of the result of the election. The
fight has waxed warm, with reports
indicating that there Is much interest
outside the county. and particularly
at the railroad points of each contend
err for county seat honors. Rock
Springs, which is the railroad outlet
for Pinedale. is standing strongly be-
hind that town in its fight, and KEN
merer is lending its support to the
town of Daniel. which brings in its
supplies from the Kemmerer way. 1t
is said that strong moral and financial
aid from outside the county has peer
given both towns.
Meanwhile Big Piney, which at the
time of the enactment of the Sublette
county enabling act considered itself
certain to be selected as the seat of
government of the new county. virtual
ly is in the position of an outsider in
the race, but this fact is not lettering
its ambitious citizens in their cam
paign for selection.

GOVERNMENT GIVES FARMERS
VAST QUANTITY OF EXPLOSIVE
Twelve Million Pounds Of Picric Acid,
Left Over From War, Donated to
Blast Stumps, Rocks. Etc.

More than 12,0O0,0O0 pounds of pic
plosives, accumulated for war purposes
and made useless to the war depart
ment by the armistice, will be distrib-
uted TO farmers for agricultural pur-
poses, says "A government bulletin.
When the war ended the army had
on hand this immense stock of picric
acid and in addition more than o.
100000 pounds Of T. n. II. The latter
was distributed to various government
al agencies for use in railroad CON
struction in Alaska, public roads in
the national parks and various prof
.ects on Indian reservations. None of
the II. n. T.. was distributed to indi-
viduals and thus far not a single acct
dent has marked the use or transpor-
tation of the millions of pounds of the
high explosive. according TO officials
of the bureau of mines.
| The question Of what to do with the
12.000.0 900 pounds of picric acid puzzled
government officers for some time and
the war department had almost de-
cided to tow the explosive out to sea
and dump II overheard in the interests
of the public safety hen II was de-
cided to institute n series of expert
ments in an effort to find some safe
commercial use for it. The expert
e were conducted by the bureau of
mines and disclosed many ways in
which the acid could be used safely and
prOfitably on farms such as in blast
ing out stumps and rocks and breaking
up land. 1t was accordingly decided
to distribute the explosive. practically
free of charge. to farmers.
Picric acid. a highly crystalline
powder having a lemon yellow color

cent straight nitro-glycerine dynamite.
according to the bureau of mines. 1t
should be used IN bulk, officials
say, and its use should be restricted
to redipped paraflined paper car
tridges.
The 12,O00,OO0 pounds of surplus
stock. which is located at Sarta, Wis
consin and Wingate, New Mexico,
will be distributed to farmers through
the bureau of public roads of the de
partment of agriculture. The only cost
to the farmer it is announced will be

ENCAMPMENT OUT FOR ROADS
Branch Of X. NJ. Highway Association
Formed and Other Road Work
of Importance Projected.

Yesterdays Encampment Echo has
the following to say regarding recent
good roads movements in that neigh
borhood:
A meeting was held at the city hall
Monday afternoon and the Encamp-
men branch of the Rocky Mountain
Highway Association was organized,
starting off with more than twenty
members. F. II. Healey was elected
president of the association and J. II.
fee is $500, which also includes mem
bership in the main Rocky Mountain
Highway Association, which was re-
Gently organized in Laramie. The
money derived from the membership
will be used to mark and advertise
the highway, and for other incidental
expenses.
A resolution was adopted by the 10
cal branch petitioning the state high
way commission to complete the high
way from here to Walcott this summer,
a gap of about twelve miles remaining
unfinished between Spring Greek and
h north end Of the federal-aid pro-
ject north from Riverside.
A resolution was also adopted by the
association asking the county commits
sioners to open up a public road from
Encampment to Spring Creek, endors-
ing the action taken by the Encamp-
ment Good Roads Association.
1t was stated that Hunter. Casteel
x Hunter would not consent for the
o to go through the Huston ranch,
and the only way the county commits
sioners could declare a public road
through that property would be to con
denim the land and pay damages. This
the commissioners are unwilling to do.
c. ID. Terwilliger then proposed to
make the county a proposition to run
h road through his lower ranch, con-
Meeting with the Rocky Mountain high
way north of town. He stated that all
ne would ask for would be reimburse
ment of his expense in building the
road, fencing, etc. The matter was
discussed and a committee composed
of w. M. Englehart and 7. w. Peryam,
they to select a third party. was ap-
pointed to go over the route from here
, 1921-06-30

to Spring Greek with parties from
that neighborhood and decide upon the
most feasible location for the road.
and then to confer with the county
commissioners and request that body
to tske some action in regard to locat-
ing a road from here to Spring Creek.
j.. c.. Rankin was selected as the third
member Of the committee and they
went out Tuesday to begin their sur
vey of the different proposed routes.
and expect to personally 20 before the
commissioners next week with their
recommendations.
