New school buildings are either be-
ing occupied at the present time, or
are under construction in many dis
tricts in the state. Casper leads
with around 80 additional grade
rooms and with a e 100000 high
school building being constructed on
the site of the Uld high school. At
Sheridan a new high school is un-
der construction; present facilities
overcrowded with no possibility Of re-
lief until the new building can be
occupied. Gillette is building a
much needed high school building at
an approximate cost Of $780, 900.
Saratoga is occupying their new
building, as is Savery in the same
county. Lyman has a new school.
Material lis on hand for a shop build
ing at Rock Springs, but its erection
has been held up; Laramie is build
ing a vocational building and is oc-
cupying a new grade building on the
west side. Cheyenne's new build
ing south Of the tracks Is being used
this fall. Rawlins is to have a new
high school, and Sunrise the first unit
of a new school plant. Beaver is
erecting a 100000 building which
will afford o for an accredited
high school with possibly additional
consolidation. Hanna has a new
gymnasium. In addition to the above
almost every other town in the state
has built within the past four years.
In many of these communities, con-
ditions are already crowded. A con-
1jtinn of haa1thy pynwth aud oxror
sion exists in almost every school
community in the State.
stands by the West
The Salt Lake Tribune, one of the
most progressive papers in the en-
tire Rocky Mountain Region, has a
watchful eye upon all men of stand
ing in other states as well as Utah.
In commenting upon the excellent
work OF Senator Warren Of Wyom-
ing, it says:
THE people of Utah are natural
ly glad to hear thai Senator Warren
of Wyoming is a candidate to sue
coed himself. He has always been
very generous in the support Of mat
ters of interest to surrounding states
and has worked with Utah Senators
shoulder to shoulder. Senator War
rem is really the father Of Federal
irrigation laws affecting the Rocky
Mountain Region. He introduced the
first measure which provided for a
reconnaissance OF prospective irriga-
ton reservoirs in the West. Captain
Hiram NJ. Chittenden of the United
States Army made the survey. A
little later a committee of seventeen
was formed. of which Senator War
rem was chairman. for the purpose
of writing a bill providing for Gov
eminent reclamation work. The
Senator was chairman of that COM
mittee and 1t met In his committee
room at Washington. Mr.. Mondel
had charge OF the bill in the House
and Senator Warren passed 1t thru
the Senate. 1t Is known as the Rec
lamation Act, and under its broad
provisions many millions OF dollars
have been spent in Federal irrigation
work in the arid States.
From the advice The Tribune has,
there seems to be no question but
that Senator Warren Will be re-
elected. His record, so far as labor
is concerned, Is a good one, and
laboring men in general are not OPP
posed to him. Those who are eX-
tremely radical, and favor Govern
ment ownership are, Of course. for
LaFollette and would doubtless be
against Senator Warren also but the
number of these Is extremely small
when compared with the large num-
Der of sane and reasonable work
ers.
His position at the head OF the
Committee on Appropriations gives
the state of Wyoming great promin-
ence in Congress. II Is a position
that no Senator from west OF the
Missouri ever held before. He Is
a tremendous worker giving careful
attention to details and through hls
courteous friendly manner has gain
ed n host OF friends not only In
Congress but in all the Departments
at Washington.

Industrial Revival
In a Presidential year It Is quite
unusual that there should be a mark
