SUBSCRIPTION RATES By Carrier and nd Sunda’ Sunday Cross Them Cautiously Of all the disasters that come upon the auto- mobilist, the ones which at the same time are most likely to be fatal—usually to several persons and most distinctly are in the “avoidable” cate gor: ngs. Upon one day recently, twenty-four acci dents, mostly of the grade crossing character, occurred. There is no need for anybody ever to be killed at such a place, no excuse for it, and no explanation except an obstinate refusal to take at railway crossings the precautions known to syerybody. Those who “stop, look and listen,” before rey @itempt to cross railway tracks, never will furmk.down, and this is true whether or not tracks have guards or warning signals, as course they always should. Among the railways that have been trying to ate the motoring part of the public to “cross ings cautiously’ ts the Baltimore & Ohio, and it reports that its efforts have not been with ott result. June as compared with May, showed ise of 27 per cent on this road, and though ials admit a slight increase over June of r, they explain that in some of the States sed by their trains there has been in the past year an increase of 30 per cent in the number of registered automobiles, and in none of them one of less than 15 per cent. ke reports come from other railways that articipated in the “cross crossings cau —n few more accidents, absolutely, but marked decrease relatively in the number of « Méanwhile the other campaign, that for the elim ination of all grade crossings, goes on, but with lamentable slowness. That process is expensive. and the railways are poor—a good many of them desperately poor. u Not Good Sportsmanship There is a legend, or a rumor, or something of the kind, that pugilism is more or less closely re lated to “the manly art of self defense.” Perhaps after subscription | are those that occur at railway grade cross-| . | condition jif the price of wheat is advanced there may be |temptat nm to farmers everywhere to reduce the |fereage in other crops in order to grow wheat. ably ce that the acreage in wheat will be re- duced, but if the pric made relatively high and |the acreage very likely will not be reduced, and in that case the farmers who borrow money to hold their wheat will depend to some extent upon how ‘high the price is raised. Of course, if wheat production of this country was reduced to the point where importations would jbe required, the protection tariff of 30 cents per bushel would become effective on the price, but it probably would become effective also on the yoters of the non-wheat producing states, witlt the | tion Our tariff policies have not been free from gone so far as to combine a protective duty with an artificial restriction of home production. argument for a protective tariff is that it prc dustry and increasing production. Migration To Cities It is evidently true that farme to compete for labor on the basis of prevailing rates in other industries, ang we know of no muswer to the complaint other than that labor hould go to the industries that will take it and pay the best rates. That is the natural w: y by which the balance between the industries main- | |tained, and there is no other effective way. If| rm production needs to be curtailed, it is better! . | some of the farm workers should enter other jindustries than that they should be idle on the| |land. The idea that something should be done |to stop the movement to the cities certainly is illogical at a time when employment is to be had there at high wages and the prices of farm pro- |ducts will not justify employment on the same| |terms. Here again the best method is to let nat-| | 1 tendencies have free play: let those go to the} ies who can shift with least inconvenience or| | sacrifice. There is no basis for forebodings of} social decay in the fact that fewer people on the farms are able with modern implements to provide |food for more people in the other industries. That in itself is a sign of social advancement. There time when man’s labors were almost ex vely devoted to providing the common nece s of life, and it is no cause for regret th can ill afford sari If the price of wheat is relatively low, it is reason-} result that it would come off after the next elec-} inconsistencies in the past, but we have never yet!

It is very true that there are some artificial in the present situation. And among them may be mentioned the restriction of immi- gration which cuts off the supply of labor for the industries. Economic forces are far reaching in their influ-| ence, and no matter how they may be hampered by| curbs and regulations they work unceasingly to} distribute the effects throughout the entire indus-! trial organization, with the result that they fre- quently show up where nobody is looking for them. Another influence in this movement from farm to city is the arbitrary policy of wage-fixing in the town industries. the cities and decrease in the country will not only increase the cost of living in the cities but increase the competition for city jobs, and the uncertainty of employment, until country life again looks at- tractive in comparison. The increase of population in Continued False Alarm Still from time to time are heard the wails of internationalists, seeking to involve us in Europe's political and economical troubles that we ought to something to help the stricken European coun- tries.

The waters broke out 250 yards of, canal lining on the upper side of tho} big ditch, and washed probably 1,000 yards of gravel into the ditch.

It wii require akout three weeks, Reclamation bridge, was up high Monday night and then receded. When it rained again on Tuesday it reached a depth of over 20 feet at that point. A Perilous Journey BASIN.—Len Murphy, who knows the Big Horn canyon as well as any other man, tells us that he would never undertake a trip through that canyon in the manner proposed by “Ted'’ Huntington and Charlie Mc- Eachron, In the winter of 1904, Mr. Murphy went through that canyon with a sur- veying party, and at various times since that he has been a close ob- server of conditions as they exist in the high water of the summer months. He gives it as his opinion that no boat can survive in the rapids of the canyon and believes the boys cannot get through alive. He points out that it has been only a few years since two young men at- tempted a similar trip and their Devil's canyon empties into the Big Horn he says the walls of the canyon jare half a mile high, From the mouth of Crooked creek to the other side of the canyon it is 26 miles and every mile of it is bad going. Mr. Murphy says he never heard of anybody going through the mer time. And yet these intrepid young fel- lows—Huntington and McEachron— have their boat built and all plans made for leaving Basin a little after the first of the month for this great adventure. And just by way of hurling defiance into the face of Fate, they have number ‘13."" ; Loss in Sweetness BASIN.—As part of the damage of the floods of the firet of the week, Oliver Hower, who has had about two hundred swarms of bees located near Hyattville, lost one hundred colonies and all the honey.

His loss will total perhaps $1,500. In addition to this loss, Ray Mathews lost several stacks of hay; the flume of Sam Hyatt was washed out as was also the flume of the Highline ditch, and all the bridges in that country damaged. Several inches of mud were deposited in the | Ziesman garage and water complete- ly surrounded the Riverside Inn, and the bridges across Paint Rock were so badly damaged that they can not now be used. A Wildcat Family KEMMERER.—Norval Reynolds and Winton Alleman, of Cokeville, sons of Mrs. Effie Alleman, and grandsons of Attorney and Mrs. N. W. Reynolds of Kemmerer, were scouting in the hills east of Cokeville one day last week, when they came had about 100 Medicine Lodge They | upon a large wild cat with four young ones.
