lessons life taught, declaring there

comfort. He had passed through
everything that mortal man is called
upon to endure, C'brist could fully
sympathize with man. The hearts of
men are all tied together with bonds
of sympathy. Tbe tendcresl sympathy

MAN WITHOUT A COUNT R Y.
William Thayer, one of the old-tim

in Cody this week. He is In a peculiar
situatiou. Neither the assessor of

Mr Thayer’s property for taxation,
as it cannot be determined of which
county he Isa legal resident.
Since this is true, and county divi
sion is all the rage, Mr. Thayer is
seriously considering settihg up a
county of his own to be known as
•‘Thayer county.” If he does, he will
be the “Pooh Bah” of “Thayer coun
ty,” as he will elect, himself to each
and every office.

[PUBLISHED AT THF. COUNTY SEAT OF PARK COUNTY]
Representative Mondell
In a Controversy With
Secretary of the Interior
WASHINGTON, April 20,-That
the new secretary of the interior in
tends to “Jealously guard” the public
domain from the light of the average
bureaucrat, to the detriment of the
west, is a suspicion •which Is being
rapidly confirmed by western congress
men. There seems to be a growing
tendency on the part of this depart
ment to construe the enlarged home
stead act with less and less liberality
and his concern over such procedures
has brought Representative Mondell
Into several sharp clashes with Secre
tary Fisher recently. In refusing to
designate certain areas in Wyoming
as eligible to entry under tbe act, the
secretary based his refusal on the fact
that be didn't believe it was possible
for a settler to conform to the law be
cause of the nature of the soil, or be
cause tbe annual rainfall was greatly
in excess of the average. Thus some
new excuse Is fonnd almost daily to
justify tbe refusal of designations un
der this act.
In securing tbe designation of 14,000
acres in tbe vicinity of Tensleep re
cently, Mr. Mondell, after having
been informed that tbe department
would not designate them because
“tbe annual rainfall was too great,”
called the secretary's attention to
several facts in connection with the
law. It was pointed out that tbe bill
called for tbe designation of lands
non mineral, non-lrrigable and non
timbered: that these three require
ments composed tbe total restrictions
and that whatever the personal opin
ion ts the secretary or anybody else,
when lands were found to possess
any of these features, they came with
in tbe law and should be designated.

four or five years departed yesterday

quaintances by those qualties of mind

FIRE DESTROYS BALDWIN HOME.

too late to save the building or any of
its contents. The loss is somewhere
around $1,000.00, with no insurance.—

TO KEEP EYE
UPON TARIFF
SENATOR WARREN WILL LOOK TO
INTERESTS OF WVOMING
- SHEEPMEN
HOUSE FAVORS A REDUCTION
Republican Senate May be Looked to
for Check Upon the Reckless Tariff
Slashing of the Democratic House—
dark Aids in Defense.
WASHINGTON, April 20. - The
threatened attack on the wool sched
ule is causing western sheep men to
get busy, and that they and their
friemjj are net idle is evidenced daily
by tbe number of telegrams and mem
orials addressed to eoogress which
are pouring in through the various
members. Senator Warren bas pre
sented a large number of them recent
ly. chief among them being that from
J. A. Deffelder, president of tbe Wyo
ming Woolgrowerß’ Association, pro
testing against any change in tbe
wool schedule until after the report
of tbe tariff commission.
Another of like tenor came from
the Sweetwater county woolgrowers'
association, and these, with more
than two score others, were laid be
fore the senate by Mr. Warren. Tbe
Sweetwater association tersely sizes
up the situation thus:
“Tbe results of previous experience
with tariff reduction, even one cent
lower tban it is now, has proved on
trial to be insufficient to preserve tbe
sbeep industry, and that when tbe
growing of wool cost at least one
fourth less than it does now. We
pray that justice may prevail that we
may live.”
And protests of this sort received
by tbe Wyoming senator are by no
means confined to Wyoming. Senator
Warred is looked to as tbe leader of
tbe senate in this fight to save the
western wool grower from destruction.
The senate will be the final arbiter
In tbe matter of reduction, and the
responsibility of leading this defeuse
has naturally fallen upou the senator
from Wyoming because of his intim
ate familiarity with both ends of the
business, as well as his record for un
yielding persistency and indomitable
energy. It is a position calling for
the highest degree of tactful energy
and hard work, but the sheepmen of
the westmiay feel sure this grave re
sponsibility could not have been more
wisely placed.
Os course, the plea to wait for
the report of the coimnissiot will
have no weight with the democratic
house, but Us fairness, presented un
der the leadership of Senator Wanen
and backed up by other powerful
members like Senator Clark, may be
recognized by the nation’s highest
law-making body,
REPRESENTATIVE BACK.
