The Red and White tribe
from Morgan county achieved
this honor. Their spirit was
indOmitable and courage
ccmmendabIe. The distinc-
tive fighting heart of the DIM
iuutive McConnclsville five
was one of the features OF
Cambridge's tournament. as
Captain Osborne and team
mates never knew when they
were whipped and ii was this
essential factor that almost
carried the quintet into the
finals of the classic event.
The admiration of the specta-
tors was won by the Red and
White through its fighting
ability and the commendable
manner in which it accepted
defeat.
Awarding of the sports
nanship trophy to McConnels-
vile high clearly establishes
that the victor in a contest
does not always win the long
end of the score and athletes
can accumulate laurels, in
Guiding the respect of true
sportsman, even in defeat.

a strong cast For next Tuesday and

which accounts for its creating such a
sensation wherever presented Our
readers will remember that this pro-
ductioIi was billed some time ago ana
failed to materialize for the reason
that the producers claimed the pro-
duction had to be used in the bigger
cities and could not be diverted at
that time to smaller towns. Many peo-
pie were disappointed at not seeing
the picture, but this time there will
be no hitch in the production. There
will in addition. be presented the sixth
episode of The Timber Queen" which
is growing In popularity and interest.
We are pleased to announce the COM
ing, soon, OF the famous Legion Boys
SHOW, "The Man Without Country.
The actual date of this production

sible for a business firm to stop adj
Vertising and giving publicity as to
what it has for sale. as it would be to
abolish this excellent department. If
possible to reduce the appropriation,
let ii be done, but 1t is one of the de-
partments in which the state should
not be niggardly. 1t is possible that
this department might be consolidated
with another, but it should be retained.
His suggestion for a continuance of
the law enforcement department and
to push it with all vigor possible, is
one that will meet with general approx
al, as win his suggestion for a better
enforcement of the prohibition laws
if it is possible.
He goes to more length in his sug-
gestions as to labor than in any 9TH
er subject. His long years of resi-
dence in Wyoming and familiarity
with labor has put him in a position
where his advice should be good. He
will find that the people of Wyoming
will support him in anything that is
good IL fair for labor. He suggests
that protection be given the laborer
who is thrown out Of employment and
salary refused, by imposing a fine up
IN the employer to take care of the
expenses necessary in collection. He
suggests necessary changes in the
workman's compensation law. and that
it be strengthened rather than weaken
ed rs to assessments.
Governor Ross has many good sug-
gestions in his address.

COLORADO RIVER COMPACT
SIGNED BY SEVEN STATES
A Full Text of This Very Important
Agreement Printed in This Is
of The Sun.

ON another page in this issue will
he found an article of great importance.
1t is an illustrated feature giving the
full text of the compact signed by
seven states-Arizona, California, Colo
RADIO. Nevada. New Mexico, Utah and
Wyoming-settling once for all the
matter of control of the waters in the
Colorado river and its distribution
over the entire territory to be irri-
gated.
This splendid achievement was
bought about by Secretary of Com
mcrce Herbert Hoover. within eleven
months after the appointment Of the
commission. and It now only remains
for each State Legislature TO ratify
the act. This will be done. BY this
act all litigation through the courts is
done away with, and the wonderful
project will in a few years be M as

new homes will come true.

New County Is Proposed.

Despite the counsel of Governor w.
u. Ross that hard times" have the
majority of Wyoming's inhabitants In
their grasp aud that this is not Il pc
riod when increasing the burden Of
taxation should be considered, at least
one county division proposal. OF ncccs-
sity involving increased taxation for
the residents Of the region involved. is
to he brought before he Seventeenth
legislature. 1t c%ontcmplatcs the ere
alton cf a new county out OF portions Of
Crook. Weston and Campbell counties,
and should the proposed new county
be organized Moorcroft logically would
he the county seat. How the majority
Of the Legislature will view the propo-
sltion remains to be seen, but It is ap-
parent that the advocates OF division
face a stern fight.

NEW STATE SENATOR'S GET
MORE MONEY THAN OTHERS
Recent Law Gives Larger Salary to
the inexperienced Members of
Upper Legislative House.

The old hand does not always draw
senate of The Seventeenth Wyoming
legislature, whereof the members sery-
ing the last two years of their terms
are drawing less compcnsation-33 Is
per cent less-than the members who
have just been indicted. The old-tim-
ers get IS per day, the o S12
per day. 1t doesn't seem fair. and it
is manifest that experience is not be-
ing justly rewarded, but it can't he
helped-not while the good old consti-
tuition of the State of Wyoming is on
the job, which it is.
This anamalous situation is caused
by thai section Of the constitution
which forbids that the salary of Il
state officer shall be Increased during
his term of office, this being a provi-
sion designed to prevent officers auth
orized to fix salaries from taking adj
vantage Of their authority by benefiting
their own pocketbooks. The Sixteenth
legislature passed a salary-increasc
measure raising the per diem of the
members of the legislature from IS to
ST.. The increase is not applicable to
the twelve members Of the senate who
hold over, but is applicable to the Is
senator's who were elected last Novem-
Der and to the 60 monbers of the
house.
Seven senators who voted for the
salary increase measure We years ago
are bcnciciarics under its provisions
and draw the increased compensation,
regardless of the fact that they voted
for the increase. The constitutional
prohibition fails to cover their cases
because their terms expired after the
bill was passed and they now are
serving new terms ms a result of the
election last fall. Senator w. w. Da-
ley of Carbon county draws the in
creased salary, due to his term expir-
ing and his reelection in November,

Venus Makes a
Daytime Visit
Like Others of Fair Sex, She Keeps Us
Guessing BY Making Daylight
Appearance in Heavans.

The mystery of the day STAR Wis
lille during clear weather in all parts
Of the western United States for sew
eral days the past week, really isn't so
much of a mystery after all, according
to a United States weather bureau of
fetal. who has made the following
statement concerning the daytime
visibility Of the planet:
In consequence of her motion
around the sun, Venus regularly comes
into line with the earth and sun. She
is then at the least possible distance
from the earth, about 10000, 900 miles.
If, however, this conjunction occurs in
December or January, she comes .
100000 miles closer to the earth, max
ing her absolute minimum distance a.
100000 miles. She is then squarely be-
tween the sun and the earth. This
happens at intervals of 5S4 days.
Usually when passing near the sun,
Venus annot be seen because the sun
Overpowers her rays. But as she pro-
ceeds about 60 degrees farther in her
orbit, which requires about five weeks,
she then appears, as observed from the
earth, to be about AZ degrees distant
from the sun. She is then most bril-
liant, and still relatively very close to
the earth.
A stated, when this conjunction
occurs in December or January. she is
easily visible at midday against a clear
blue sky. This condition has obtained
the past few days, and as Thursday
was n very clear day in most parts of
the state, the star was observed during
the forenoon.
\ Venus reaches this position in
her orbit but once in JS4 days, about
every 10 months. it might happen that
clouded skies would prevent her being
noticed on many occasions.
History relates that when in this
position in 1887, many thought her to
be the Star of Bethlehem, and a great
deal of newspaper space was given to
the supposed temperance of the far
famed Biblical STAR
