Mr, Winter also men- tioned that for only eight years since the Civil war had the Demo- cratic party complete control of both the executive and legislative power of the country. These were the first two years of Cleveland's administra- tion and for six years under Wil- son, Mr, Winter stated that in his be- Nef the conservative and progressive wings of the party would get to- gether and that as a result they would pass the best possible kind of legislation. Two resolutions were passed by the meeting, one asking support for the {dea of making women associate members of the national Republican committee active members and the other asking for a part of the oll royalties to be used in defraying the expense of the Casper-Alcova irriga- tion project. Mrs. B. B. Brooks, Wyoming's associate committee woman on the Republican national committee, spoke briefly in support of the for- mer resolution urging that as Wyo- ming was the original suffrage state that the convention at Lander should support the idea. Mr. Jarvis, who introduced the latter resolution, mentioned _ the huge amount of royalties the gov- ernment 1s obtaining from the Salt Creek field and stated that Natrona county should accrue some of the benefits in addition <o the regula- tion royalty paid to the state. The meeting was presided over by A. E. Stirrett, county chairman, with Dr. C. H. Bailey as secretary. These two officers in addition to G. R. Hagens were constituted a mmittee with authority to fill any last minute vacancies in the Lander delegation by appointment. The two resolutions passed were as follows: First—Whereas that Wyoming {s the original suffrage state and whereas a resolution was adopted at the Décember meeting of the na- tional « nittee to make the asso. eiato members active members of the committee, Be ityresolved, that the Wyoming delegation to Cleveland be instructed to work and vote for this resolution.

Forty days from Monday, granted favorable weather, the “Speedway” will drop anchor under the lea of the beautiful Palisades that form an entrance to one of the earth rémotest outposts—Okhotask, on the Okhotask in Siberia.

It, is Mcgirk’s word and the samples that he took from the earth that has put the fever into the blood of the men who will sail on the ‘Speedway.” Tor the greater’ part they are veteran placer miners but include representatives from y every walk of life, including ysiclan, a lawyer and a preacher. ‘They all go for gold.
