SOME PEPETUAL SHOWS
VANISH

Forest Ranger Williams in charge
Of the Seven Mile District, Medicine
Bow National Forest. on which is
located the Snowy Range where
there are a number Of snow banks
which are near glaciers, has reported
to the office that owing to the IN
seasOnable warm weather and unpre-
cedented lateness Of the usual early
fall snow. many Of the drifts on the
Snowy Range have disappeared to a
large degree and certain portions of
the ground are seeing sunlight,
which have not heretofore done so
in the memory Of the oldest inhab-
itants. He also states that the waters
are lower than ever heretofore noted
and that Lookout Lake at the base
Of Medicine Bow Peak is five feet
lower than 1t was at its lowest point
last year.
The telephone line at the fire
lookout observatory on top Of Med
icine Bow Peak. developed trouble
several days ago and after spending
some time Shooting the trouble"
from Centennial to the top Of the
peak it was finally determined hat
the difficulty is occasioned by the
extreme dryness on top of the peak
where the one wire line Is grounded
and Emergency Patrolman Stewart
is packing ice from one OF the gla-
ciers to the ground rod of the tele-
phone line at the Observatory in an
effort to surmount the difficulty. On
October II a heavy wind occurred
throughout the Forest which blew
down large numbers of trees and
broke telephone communication in
numerous places. Fortunately during
the win no forest fires were started.

ENJOYING ANNAPOLIS

In a letter received a few days
since from Howard Orville, who
entered the Naval Academy at An
napolis in June last. conveys the in
formation that this young man is
enjoying his life at Annapolis de-
spite the fact that he is a "Plebe''
this year.
The many Rawlins friends of this
young man will be pleased to hear
from him so We are taking the lib
erty Of publishing his letter to tn
editor of The Republican,.
Annapolis. Md. ?
October 2. 1921.
Mr.. Roscoe Alcorn, .
Rawlins. Wyoming.
Dear Friend:
My purpose in writing you Is a
dual one: first to let you know
haven't forgotten my Rawlins
friends; and second, to have my
address changed from 1886 Bancroft
Hall to 1913 Bancroft Hall. :
Everything is going very smoothly
for me in spite of the fact that I'm
a Plebe. An upper classman said:
Ignorance Is bliss and that Ia
why you Plebes like the academy
Perhaps there is some truth to his
statement, but nevertheless. there ia
something about the academy that
makes a fellow want to stay,
There are 2400 of us fellows this
year. SO We are quite crowded. In
stead of having regimental dances.
shows. etc. an arrangement is now
effective whereby all social functions
are given for one or two battalions,
alternately. OF course, we Plebes do
not rate dances, but it seems that
every minute of IL time is taken
up with our studies and other
duties.
Be sure to have by address
changed for I've missed out on the
paper for two weeks. I look forward
for the Republican each week, I tell
you.
Your sincere friend.

sake. Don't you realize that if we are
to build a Jewish Nation, we cannot
follow cold, hard business logic? First
Of all we must bring the "Chalutzim'
into Palestine, we mush shield the ref
ugee, we must protect the exile. Is this
constructive In order to have the
control of the government under the
Mandate, we must have the majorit,
of the population. That majority we
must create, at any cost, at all cost.
We must start in the Diaspora and
bring the Jew to Palestine. If we d.
not do so, then the government will
never be ours-Palestine will never
be a Jewish land. The objection that
such work is not constructive, it is not
building roads, harbors, factories, or
schools, but if we do not go into the
"gollus" and bring the "Chalutzim"
into Palestine, set them on their feet
in Palestine, all the roads, the har,
bors and the factories will not be ours.
Without the majority of the popula-
ton, we merely create another Dias-
pora. We have the legal right to the
government, if we become the major.
ty of population. The Mandate gives
us that right. We have the moral right
to supplant the Arab. There are SO0,-
900 Arabs in Palestine and 100000
Jews. The Arab has. been in Palestin.
for the past eight hundred years.
What has he given to the land? Not
single school, not a single harbor, not
"a single city, not even decent road
way. Eight hundred thousand Arabs
for 800 years have wandered about the
land, nomads, without culture, with
no purpose save to exist. The Jew, the
modern Jew, the ionist, has labored in
Palestine for twenty-five years. In
twenty-five years we gave the land $50
schools and are now building Uni
versity. We do not wander about, we
show forty-eight poisoning colonies
and hundred co-operatives, we have
rid the land Of malarie we are drain
ing the swamps, building harbors and
highways. Where we are, there is cul-
ture, there is civilization, there is the
upward urge. Where the Arab is there
is stagnation, disease and death. For
whom do we labor, for the Arab or the
Jew? II for the Jew, then bring the
Jew to Palestine. The soil will sup
port 100000 inhabitants. We can do
in ten years what the Arab has failed
to do in 800 years. We must do it at all
costs, at any cost. This is constructive.
We must own the soil of Palestine.
Not the cities alone, but first of all
the soil. All the soil must be Jewish
soil, titled by Jews. Without the soil
the country is not ours. We must ac-
quire it.
The American leaders object that no
land should be bought for price that
will not enable the rental value or the
yield to pay interest on the invest
ment. Ordinarily this is good econom-
les. | would not think of urging any
one to buy farm in Oklahoma for
such a sum that II could not bear a
reasonable interest on the investment,
but because the Jewish people, without
the soil Of Palestine cannot, will not,
own Palestine, because the Jewish
people must own the soil to possess
the country, this is an elemental truth
Il would that the Jewish people buy
the soil Of Palestine at any price they

head but the soil that he bought is
ours. Jews will till it, Jews will dwell
on it. On those $4,000 dunam of land,
about which such a Juror was raised,
five thousand Jewish souls will live,
Jewish hands will plant and reap, and
