GUESSING u ROADS.

Automobiles touching at the oasis of Casper all
bring the same story of rough voyages over Wyoming
roads 1t does not matter from which direction they
come the complaints are largely the same and equally
loud. From the stories told it would seem that the
commissioners of local Wyoming counties had about
abandoned road work or were waiting for the state
highway commission to bring hard surfaced roadways
to their door. There are now and again short
stretches where an automobile travels with some COM
fort but the other stretches are rough, cut up, full of
holes, washed out places. mud holes or are impossible
from other causes. 1t is the general cry that Wyo-
ming roads have never been in such a state. The
Cody entrance to the park, at least the Canyon road
from Cody to the dam, comes in for its share of abuse.
The state highways in process of construction, re.
pair or maintenance are said, with few short smooth
excepted, to be on e par with ordinary county roads.
The state is full of tourists. There are said to be
a greater number on the road than ever before and
il what is reported by travellers is true we will re-
ceive due advertisement for our delinquency in road
work.
Last year at this time Wyoming was receiving con-
siderable praise for the excellent condition and re-
pair of her public roads.
Have we forgotten that roads need constant at
tention to keep them in travelable shape or have we
lain down on the job?

A prominent citizen who has a fine lawn in front
OF his residence and takes pride in it and has care
fully eradicated the dandeliops therefrom and to
make sure works it over every other day, reports hav-
ing extracted over three hundred young dandelions
this morning. The cause of the invasion of the pest
is not due to neglect on the part of the owner but to
the carelessness of the neighbors who permit the vel
low peril to flourish and go to seed and supply this
particular householder with fresh crops of dandelions
for which he does not care.
Not being interested in any decoctions that may be
manufactured by extraction or otherwise from the
dandelon, he does not desire to cultivate them. His
highest purpose is to get rid of them.
Our citizen is one who always has and hopes to
live forever in peace and harmony with his neighbors.
What is he 70 do? Suffer in silence and keep on dig
g1ng dandelions or abandon the greensward to its
fate! The question is too momentous to decide off
hand, we must take it under advisement.
Several solutions come to mind. One is to move
out Of the neighborhood, another pave the lawn with
concrete, still another to erect signs in plain viewio of
the dandelion seed that strays from the neighbor's
yard to keep off the grass" Some of these sugges-
tons may not be practical, some may not even be
desirable, still anything is worth trying once.

plication made by the public service
commission. Judge Keeler said he
probably would file his decision with

LOST IN ROWB0AT IN
LONG island SOUND
Brother of Fred Loomis of
This City Missing Since
Saturday Evening.

Considerable mystery is attached
to the strange disappearance of Bert
Loomis, Of southwick, Mass, a
wealthy tobacco grower, and a
brother of Fred W., Loomis of this
city, a well known plumber. It is
feared that Mr.. Loomis has been
drowned in the sound. Loomis in
company with Napolean Bascom of
Southwick, arrived last Thursday at
the Pease House at Saybrook. Here
the men parted. Mr.. Loomis going on
to New York while Mr.. Bascom
crossed to what is known as Poverty
Island.
Mr.. Loomis arrived back at Say
brook on Saturday, and negotiated
with Captain Getchell to take him to
Poverty Island to join Mr. Bascom
During the trip, there was a dis
agreement between the men, when
Mr.. LOOMS argued over the course
the captain took on account of the
shallow water
When it came time for Mr. LOOMS
to leave Poverty Island, Mr. Bascom
having decided to remain there for
few days. he refused to make the
trip back to Saybrook with Captain
Getchell Instead he jumped into a
rowboat and started to row directly
