Texas Fever in Wyoming

OAs ASSOA Al "yOllAAS
1t has been reported, and the in
formation comes from what is re-
garded as good authority, that the
much dreaded Texas fever has broken
out in a herd of cattle now being
held at the head water of the Little
Missouri, lear the Montana line in
Crook county. One man saw ten head
lying dead and the disease is said
to be rapidly decimating this bunch.
This particular herd crossed the
Texas trail and it is supposed passed
there shortly after another herd suf-
fering with the disease had been
driven through.
State Veterinary Holcomb came in
from the west Wednesday. 1t was
not learned what official action he
will take in this matter. The dis
eased herd is being held closely and
1t is believed that none of them will
have to be exported. A general quar-
antine for this part of the state at
this particular time would do great
damage to the stock interests and it
is hoped that it will not be neces-
sary.

Rain-marker Melbourne, who has
recently come into public light with
his ability to cause rain at any time,
went to Salt Lake from Cheyenne,
for the express purpose of treating
the Mormons to one of his justly
celebrated exhibitions. The weather
has been unusually dry in that city
for a long time and the dust has been
inches thick but just as soon as Mr..
Melbourne went to the city with
his rain-making equipment it started
to rain and now mud-boats are in
great demand. Melbourne became
very much disguised with so much
rain and natural dampness and vent
up to Idaho, a dryer climate, where
he hopes to be able to demonstrate
his abilities. Truly no mortal mar
has had such control over the wealth
err. the clouds and the dewey heav-
n hat Frank Melbourne claims to
have. There is a general full-fledged
frank out in California who claims
that Melbourne is an impostor. He
(the California crank says he in
vented the ra~in-producer machine
which the Austrian is using to crack
the clouds with and has applied for
a patent on the same.
With a rain-producer. and a FROST
prevention. all that Wyoming needs
now Is a hot air producer to warm
all the air from the snow capped
peaks that sweeps down over the
valleys and about freezes the mar
row in our bones. With the warmer
air our state could produce corn and
pork that would make her eastern
sister states green with envy.

several large rattlesnakes over which
he possesses a remarkable charm
and power. He has them so we'll and
perfectly trained That by simply call
ing them by name they will crawl
on his knee to be fondled and car
ressed. One huge snake which he
had captured only "a hours previous
ly was in his hands, as tractable and
docile as a lamb. but at any stranger
approaching 1t would shoot out its
fangs and show unmista kable signs

The bicycle is gaining in favor
each year, not simply as offering an
agreeable pastime but as an excel
lent means of recreation. The wheel
requires a cool head and a steady
hand and the pure air and increased
deep breathing derived from this ex-
ercise produce an ex~hilaration and a
glow which only those who know the
sensation can appreciate. To deny the
women this healthful recreation on
the score of im~modesty is as irration-
al as it is strained and far-fetched.

CHICAGO MAN IS
ENTHUSIASTIC
YER VALLEY

The Imperial Valley is looked
upon as one of the greatest food
producing sections IN the west, ac-
cording to II. +. Poronto, Chicago
and Los Angeles financier, who is
guest at the Barbara Worth hotel
while on his first tour of inspection
of the Imperial Valley. Mr.. Por-
onto is president of the Chicago
Central Manufacturing District and
associated with the Los Angeles
and Chicago Union Stock Yards.
He IS accompanied on his visit by
j. a. McNaughton, vice president
and general manager of the Los
Angeles Union Stock Yards, and
Nelson r. Crow, editor of Farm and
Ranch Market journal of Los Ang-
eles.
Zone cannot help but be impress
ed by the wonderful possibilities
of this section declared Mr.. Por-
onso The Imperial Valley re-
sources are almost unlimited as a
feed and live stock section. The
wealth of the valley is potentially
greater each year as the metropoli-
tan area around Los Angeles grows
i'll population and industrial i'm
portance.
Business conditions in the east
and middle west have shown mark
ed Improvement during the past
year, according to Mr.. Poronto.
This means broader market for
California surplus products.
Mr.. Poronto is actively interested
III building up n great industrial
district in Los Angeles, known as
the central manufacturing district
a duplicate of the great central
manufacturing district of Chicago,
in which there are hundreds of
nationally known industries. Coupl-
ed with this project is the Los
Angeles Union Stock Yards, con-
ducted along lines similar to the
great Chicago Union Stock Yards,
the greatest open market of any
kind in the world.
Los Angeles is rapidly becoming
one of the great manufacturing
centers of lthe country and Mr.
Poronto sees III this development
vastly broader market, not only
for food stuff nor Il great labor
population, but also for the raw
products of the soil, to be used in
manufacturing. This market is
within a stone 5 throw of the I'm
perial Valley. He believes that
live stock production is an essential
part of the development Of any
country and is therefore greatly
interested in the growing import
ance of the Imperial Valley as a
live stock and dairy section.

were speakers at meeting of the

THINKING ROOMS

Henry David 1horeau American naturalist and
philosopher although he wrote In the first half OF the
nineteenth century, had many ideas which would be
useful if practlsed today they would have been
IN his age any other age One Of these is partcu-
lary appaeling to anyone who is growing weary of
crowded apartment houses rapidly growing cities
and individuals who little for privacy themselves
and leave little privacy to others.
Il think of its value wrote Thoreau mot only to
religion, but to philosophy and to poetry; besides
readng-roomy to have tninkng-room in every city
Perchance the time will come when every house
will have not only its sleeping and dining
and taking-room parlor, but its thinkngroom ALSO
and the architects will put it into their plans Let it
be furnished and ornamented with whatever conduces
to serious and creative thought
The cynic may inquire buntly who would such
if it were built. Almost everybody is supposed
to be too busy to spend time simply thinking in these
days 1t is quite possible, however, that if
there thinkingrooms to be used there would be
people to use them than the cynic imagines.
