Mr.. E. s. r. Boughton. who has
returned from a trip to Eng
land, gives a most encouraging vie"
of the situation in regard to the
cattle business In this country as al
fected by the prosperity of the Eng
iish people. He say times are very
prosperous there, money Is more
plenty than for years, and In con-
lei the common people are
eating more meat. This state or al
fairs has stimulated the demand Tor
American beef to such an extent that
steamships are now carrying 25,oVO
head per week to Great Britain. Thls
together with the diminishing sup
ply caused by the reduction OF herds
on the ranges, IL producing a marked
effect on the market and a strong ad-
vance in price is noted.
Mr.. B%oughton p~rophesies a great
boom for Wyoming's cattle business
and a complete recovery from the de-
pression which has prevailed In II
range business for several years past.
Tho prosperity OF English people
also leads to Investment OF the sur
Mus In other lands. In mines IN
dus,ries. the United States getting
the lions share. There Is an increas-
ing interest manifested In wyoming
and the far western states and ter
ritorios. not only in Great Britain
but In the eastern states.
The question OF closing all stores
a, eight o'clock In the evening Is be
ing agitated in Cheyenne. II all
merchants Will agree to close thcir
place OF business ut that time IL
would be u wise move and n many
would like to see adopted In Raw
Inns. the employer and empioyo
both need rest. and II they can 20
home at eight o'clock and spend h
evening with their families they are
In much better condition to 20 TO
work on the following morning, and
II all stores will close at tho same
time no trade is lost by the move.
Clerks and bookkecpcrs are the hard
est worked class OF employees today;
nearly all others quit work at $3.50
or G o'clock. but tho clerk and Ooh
keeper toll on until .. 10. and OF
timos IL o'clock at night. IL is o
much for a mans system and IA a
consequence many OF them become
worn out and break down at an early

BOYS SHOULD READ 1T

There is very valuable book en-
! titled 1.-THE Cowboy" at the Black
foot public library that all western
people should find helpful to them.
Its author is Phillip Ashton Roll
Inns, and must have been not only a
man of the range, but a very close
| observer and a scholar. He de-
scribes in detail just about every
thing connected with the range, and
presents it in such a simple, natural
way that it makes good reading
He begins with the origin of range
work four centuries ago, brings it
down to date in few paragraphs,
shows how the west was stocked
with horses from the small start of
animals left by Spanish explorers in
America, takes one common place
topic after another and tells how it
started, how it developed and be-
came important in the development
of the west, tells just how the cow
boy lived and worked and played,
just how he caught his horse, how
he saddled him, described the saddle,
the bride, the lasso and all their
parts, visits along with the reader
splitting welcome information all the
while, and leaves him with a fund
Of information that every lover of
history will appreciate, and every |
lover of livestock and cowboys and |
things western would wish he had |
possessed sooner.
The book Is published by Charles
Scribner' & Sons, of New York, and
IS on the loan shelf of the library.

The home merchant, who ID he!
He 10 the chap who gave you credit
when you were financially broke.
and carried your account until you
were able to pay.
He Is the chap who gives you back
your money or makes exchanges
when you are not satisfied with what
you have bought.
He Is the chap who meets you at
the door with handshake, and lets
you out with message to the kids"
and real, Come again, goodby."
He Is the chap whose clerks live
In the home town and spend their
money with you and other local
people.
He is the chap who helps support
our churches and charitable organi-
cations, and talks for the home town
and boosts for it every day in the
year.
He is the chap who visits you
when you are sick, sends flowers to
your family when you die, and fol-
lows your body out among the trees
and tombs as far as human feet may
travel with the dead.
He Is the home merchant-your
efghbor-your friend-your helper |
in time of need.
Don't you think you ought to trade
with him, and be his friend and |
helper in time of need?
Don't you know that every dollar
you send out of town for merchan-
disc is sent to strangers-to men
who never spend a dollar here? You
don't save much, frequently nothing,
when you send your money out of
town. And don't you know that the
growth and prosperity of this town
depends very largely upon the sue
cess and prosperity of the home mer-
chant? Out of town people judge
our city by the appearance of our
stores and the degree of enterprise
shown by our merchants. And our
home merchants cannot succeed I'M
less home folks give them loyal sup
port.
Remember-The home merchant
pays taxes in the same county with
you.

Bile a ched Skull MI ay
Explain Mystery of
ssLittle joe Ozimic

Sheriff James McClarty of Liv-
ingston, recently received a skull
which was found near Aldridge ov-
err the hills west of Electric, by
w. w .Wetzel. The lower jaw
is gone from the skull, and its APP
pearance indicates that it must
have been exposed for number
of years.
Mr.. Wetzel wrote Sheriff McClarty
that about nine years ago an AL
bridge character known as Little Joe,
disappeared from sight and was never
heard from again, and it has re-
NAMED a mystery as to whether he
left the country, suffered an accident
in the hills, or met with foul play.
1t is believed that this may be his
skull.
A newspaper correspondent at Gin
nabar Basin, says of the finding of
the skull:
Little Joe" Ozimic was missing
October 20, 1915. A skull was seen
a few years ago above the road near
the lake by the late Edward Wright,
Jr. Wetzel found this skull below
the road on the bank of the lake.
Little Joe" was a wood cutter, and
at the time all places where he work
ed were searched and many times
since people have looked about the
lake. He had one sister in Austria.

LIGHTNING STRIKES HIM;
HE THINKS 1T is A BLOW
FROM HIS COMPANION

A freak bolt of lightning almost
involved DIR. S. A. Grouse of Mel
stone and one of his friends in a
serious alteration, few days ago.
DIR. Grouse, who was on his way to
Ingomar, was overtaken by a
storm near Bascom, and the two
men took shelter from the rain on
the porch of a house at Bascom.
The were conversing and watch
ing the storm when suddenly the
doctors friend received blow be-
hind the ear which almost knock
ed him down. Turning in conster-
nation to inquire concerning this
sudden attack, he found the doctor
lying ON the ground some distance
from the porch.
The doctor who was badly stun
ned by the lightning was assisted
to his feet. Both men were some
what shaken but were able to con-
tinue to Ingomar when the storm
was over.

"A FORTUNATE DISCOVERY ---SALT GATHERED BY
EDGERT0M OVERLAND TRAIN I'M 1868, PROVED
VALUABLE ASSET LATER DIM BAMMAGK HOMIE

'Imost sensible of these being gun
ny-sacks. A busy half hour was
then given to gathering the salt,
while the oxen were allowed to take
their fill of it where they stood.
Several sacks filled and slowed
away in the wagons, we drove on
to fresh water, good pasturage and
the breakfast we earnestly craved.
A month later we reached Ban
mack, and of the salt collected that
morning there remained a gunny-
sack full. The rest had been given
to the cattle. 1t was providential
that we saved any, as we discov-
cred later.
In the winter of 1863-64, sup
plies ran short in Bannack. There
were no fruit, no vegetable, butter,
eggs, lard, and little flour to be
bought. 1t was at that time that
my father paid seventy-five dol
lars in gold, with gold at prem
ium, for half sack of flour, which
was, as | recall it, brought from the
Bitter Root valley. There was
plenty of beef, some game, but no
salt.
Then we remembered the sack
full we had gathered. 1t was
brought out, and the contents was
pounded up to supply our needs
having first selected the cleanest
pieces, and thrown away the peb-
bles it held. 1t was not good salt,
for too much earth was mixed with
1t, but it was better than none. Our
having it enabled us to fare better
than our neighbors, a condition I'M
iversally held to be desirable, and
worth the struggle of lifetime to
gain. In this instance it was ac-
CURED through an inquisitive mind,
to which most discoveries are due;
and to half an hours labor.
Of the many / have met who
travelled by way of aLnder's Cut
off none ever mentioned the valley
Of salt. In 1873, in company with
my cousin, Col. w. F. Sanders, | X
passed over by rail much of the !
same route we had taken in 1868. t
