FLAG TO Be PLACED
ON TOP OF TETONS

A metal flag donated by the Cas-
per Lions for planting on the sum-
nit of the Grand Teton. known as
the Matterhorn of the North Amer
lean Alps" is being taken to Jack
son. Wyoming. to be turned over to
w. o. Owens, first white nan to
scale the peak. Owens, who is 65
years of age, will place the flag on
the peak in an ascent to be made
within the next few days.
Owens is a former state treas
urer of Wyoming and his home is
now in Los Angeles. AT the time
he first climbed the peak some 40
years ago, no white man had been
able to reach a point nearer than
500 feet of the summit. 1t was he
who discovered the narrow ledge
which a human a worm along at
a precarious balance and find a
place where the last 500 feet OF
almost perpendicular granite can be
scaled. Noted mountain climbers
have declared the ascent involves
more danger than the Alpine peaks,
The flag donated by the Lions of
Casper is suitably inscribed with
the legend of the first ascent, the
story of which Owens is now COM
piling in book form.

LOOK OUT FOR
SELF POISONING

Neglect of the liver results in self
poisoning! Not so quick, perhaps,
but just so surely as if you drank
poison out of a bottle. If your liver
is not doing its work of helping di-
gestion, eliminating waste from the
bowels and purifying the blood, you
will always be troubled with sick
headaches, nausea, b~iliousness, bad
breath. gas, sour stomach, or CON
stipation.
Cleanse and one your liverl Put
your system in condition so you feel
your very best againi Try just a
spoonful of DR.. H. S. TEACHERS ex-
cellent Liver and Blood Syrup after
the next few meals and notice the
quick improvement in the way you
eat, sleep, look and feel-the return
of strength, vigor and energy. You
will be completely satisfied; other
wise there will be no cost.

JOHN WEIR SUCCUMBS
AT ROBERTS, MONTANA

John Wier. pioneer stockman and
fortune. died penniless on Monday
of las week on the eve of his nth
birth anniversary at his cabin on
the George Hunt ranch near Rob
erts, Montana.
John Wier was born in Ireland
September 20. 1848. Earl in life
he came to the United States and
located in Red Lodge, Montana,
where he worked in the mines in
their first stage of development.
manager of a big sheep company,
which was the forerunner of the
Bennett Creek Sheep company. After
several a he went into the sheep
business for himself and later turned
to cattle and horses. He prospered
and / is known that his check was
worth upwards of $4,000 in hard
money.

Der of cattle on hand. The bottom

WYOMING LIVESTOCK AND
RANGE CONDITIONS GOOD

The condition of cattle and sheep
in Wyoming continues above normal
and that of the range is very good
and a large supply of hay and win
ter feed is assured, according to the
range and livestock report issued
by the Wyoming Crops and Live
stock reporting service. Fall ship
ments of both cattle and sheep have
begun and the movement promises
to be spread over a larger period
than heretofore as the range is
very good and there is a tendency
to hold for better prices.
The range is curing fast in nearly
every section and promises ample
feed for all classes of livestock.
There are, however, a few localities
in the northeastern and central
counties which have not received
much rainfall during the past sew
eral months and grass cured up
short. The reverse is the case of
some of the southern and western
counties where very nearly too much
rain has fallen recently, keeping the
grass green and not allowing it to
mature. Danger of early frosts
doing some damage in such sec
tons is feared. The condition of
the range is reported at SO per cent
of normal, I'VE points below that of
last month. Last e at this time
it was IS e cent or six months
below the condition of the month
before.
The 1925 hay crop is estimated
to be approximately ten per cent
larger than hal of 1924. This,
with h large c~arry-over from last
year (between rs and 80 per cent
of the 1924 CROP and almost bum
per grain crops, practically insure
an ample supply of feed for the
several classes of stock to be win
tered in this state. Some localities
are predicting a surplus of hay.
Cattle continue in above normal
condition, 101 per cent of normal
or one point below hat of last
month. Twelve months ago during
this period they declined one point
to 81 per cent of normal. Most
classes are fat and marketable stuff
will be heavier this fall than last.
Stockmen are looking forward to
better times in the industry.
Sheep have maintained a very
high condition throughout the sum
mer months and are reported as
being above normal now. The
mountain ranges have been excel
lent and old sheep have ~fattened
while lambs made rapid growth.
The grin worn by a good loser
is chagrin.

The Joss Is estimated at above s2O,000. The building and content were insured but not sufti- eiently to cover replacement value based on the costs of today.
 Boys Unexeited
 The fire was discovered by one of the masters in the school from outside of the building. An alarm was given and the fifteen pupils tn the building behaved exeeileutly. There was no apparent alarm, no semblance of stampede and no excitement. A few of the boys gathered some of their personal belonging before leaving, but nearly everything above the ground floor was destroyed.
 Those first to arrive devoted their time to salvaglng personal property. Most of the movable property on the ground floor was taken Co place Of safety but quantities of supplies were burned. There was not time to sal- wage anything on the second floor as the fire spread rapidly and there was no way of fighting the flames as Pom fret is without a fire department.

 The building was owned and the school conducted by Rev. Frank H. Bigelow of Christ Episcopal church, Pomfret. The school was started less than five years ago and the building was purchased by Mir Bigelow about three years ago. Mir.
