time it turns into a frog and energies
upon land.
Fin Becomes Foot
The important development between
the lung fish which has learned to
gulp air and the amphibian is the
development Of the terrestrial foot from
the fin of the fish.
Emergence upon land demanded the
evolution OF a new type of locomotion.
There Is reason to believe from the
study of fossils that the first amphibi-
ans lived mainly in marshes where the
soft mud helped support their bodies.
The foot as first evolved from the
fin had only two digits. But grad
ually with the passage Of time. five
digits. the standard in the world to-
day. We're evolved.
The amphibian. besides developing
terrestrial feet, is thought to have de
veloped for the first time in the his
tory of life, true lungs. a three-cham-
bered heart. movable tongue, eye
lids and eardrums.
II is also thought that the amphi-
biana developed a voice. Therefore
It was the first creature upon the
earth able to make a sound.
Reptile Further Step
The reptile represents another step
IN the upward scale of evolution. It
is entirely freed from the necessity
of spending any part of its life in
water.
The reptile lays its eggs on the
ground. tough casing or cell pro
tects the egg from evaporation. The
reptile. from the moment Of its birth.
breathes by means of lungs.
As we saw in our survey Of geol-
ogy. in the Age of Reptiles, these ami
mails attained gigantic size, many Of
them being over 100 feet long. These
were the great dinosaurs.
The crocodile of today is probably
the nearest relative to the great dino
saurs which ruled the earth in the
Age of Reptiles.

An important feature of the cen
tenary celebration will be the un-
yelling and presentation by F.. w.
Kelley, president of the American
Portland Cement Association, of a
bronze memorial tablet presented to
the British Cement Makers Fedora
ton in memory of Joseph Aspdin of
Leeds, the bricklayer who invented
portland cement. This ceremony will
take place in the City Hall of Leeds,
England, in the presence of the Lord
Mayor of the city. other city officials
and visiting cement makers repre-
sentatives coming from various parts
of the world to attend the celebra-
ton.
While in England the represent

plants and inspect many concrete
structures representative of the first
usage of portland cement, and some
of Great Britain's concrete roads,

creasing rapidly during the past two
or three years.
A point of outstanding interest
will be the British Empire Exhibi.

excessive damage from fires started

ROAD RECONNAISSANCE
TO BE MADE

Junior Forester Harmon of the
Supervisors office at Laramie, plans
to make an examination of the
country lying between Centennial
and Sand Lake within the near flu
ture to determine the possibility of
locating a road through this region.
The Foest Service has previously
constructed a short stretch of road
through this region.
The Forest Service has previously
constructed a short stretch of road
between Elk Mountain and Bow S. r.
which together with the work now
being done on the Ian esection south
of Elk Mountain by the County Com
missioners of Carbon county permits
of ready access to the Bow River
country from Rock River. Medicine
Bow, Hanna and other points along
the Lincoln Highway. 1t is proposed
to work out the possibility of a route
extending from the Bow r. S. to the
vicinity of Sand Lake, then extend
ing through the heavy timber on the
several forks of Rock Creek and
across to the North Fork in an ef-
fort to connect this area to the low
err part of the Centennial-Brooklyn
Lake road.
Inc area TeleTTeu 10 contains u
magnificent virgin stand of pine and
spruce timber and it is desired to
find a route through this country in
order that a road may be construct
ed so that this timber may be given
adequate protection. If a road can
be constructed through this region 1t
will mean hat the lakes to the north
of Snowy Range including Sand Lake

cessible from points along the Lin

travel from Laramie across to Elk

SHEEP MOUNTAIN A PART
OF THE MEDICINE BOW
NATIONAL FOREST

President Coolidge signed the pro-
clamation on August 8 by which
Sheep Mountain proper is added to
the Medicine Bow National Forest.
The bill IN which the proclama-
ton is based was introduced on Dec.
-, 1923 and was passed in June
1924. 1t provides that the addition
is a Federal Game Refuge for the
protection and PRONUNCIATION Of game
animals and birds; Section 2 of the
bill provides that it shall be unlaw-
full for any person to hunt, pursue,
kill, capture or modest any game
animals or any birds within such
designated refuge except in accord
anc with rules and regulations of
the Secretary of Agriculture. The
bill also provides that any person
who violates any provision of the
act or any rules or regulations pro-
mulgated under the Act shall be
guilty of misdemeanor and upon con
viction thereof shall be fined not
more than $500 or imprisoned for
not more than one year or both.
The lands included within the ad-
dition are located in Townships IA
and Is N. Range II w. of the 9Th
p. NJ, and an account of the topog-
raphy and location are admirably
suited to a game breeding ground.
According to experience in other re-
gions, protection of the game on the
Sheep Mountain area should result
in materially increasing the hunting
on the main range lying
west and south of Sheep mountain.

HERE THEY ARE
BOUQUETS AND BRICKBATS ARE
DISTRIBUTED
COmmendatiOn and Criticism Handed
Out PrOmiscuously as Deemed
Just BY Our Hired Man
H--'S A POPPIN' ,

The political pot is boiling "worssY
and worser," and dollars are mention
ed by the thousands and tens Of thous-
ands as though they had no more
value than the despised German mark.
OF course it is not intimated that the
value of persons reputation can Tin
every instance) be measured by the
value of the last mentioned currency.
First cometh Ned Sherburne, who
was fired by Mayor Stevens when he
discovered that sufficient authority
was vested in him to perform that
welcome duty, but not before he il
claimed to have put his foot in it by
filing alleged libelous charges against
the aforesaid Mr.. Sherburne, who
forthwith got busy, hired a number
of attorneys and filed suit in the
courts in the sum of $4,000 damage,
claiming that his good reputation had
suffered injuries to that extent.
Then, forsooth, the ex-Safety Di-
rector received his jolt, in the form
OF damage suit filed by Patrick
Rogers, asking for s10,875.26. This
action on the part of plaintiff is due
to the seizure, in February, 1923, Of
certain wet goods, the property Of
Mr.. Rogers, which was seized against
his will during the administration of
the aforementioned Sherburne, and
amounted to upwards of 200 gallons
of wine which had been made for
medical purposes. That said wine
was later ordered by the court to be
returned to the owner, but when so
done was found to be short 416
quarts. That defendant failed to
safely guard and protect plaintiffs
property while in his custody, and
that his business has been damaged
and he caused to suffer great mental
anguish, great humiliation, pain and
disgrace, in addition to physical suf-
fering. He therefore asks recompense
in the amount claimed.
Considerable interest is manifested
in the outcome of these two suits, but
the "Hired Man" honestly believes
that if he had his choice he would
elect to receive the fat juicy fees of
the warning attorneys, provided they
charge the rates prescribed by the
Lawyers Union, and don't "scab" on
each other, in preference to the total
amount secured by the two citizens
whose feelings have been so terribly
lacerated.
