Ostensibly exploring the practice of law before the internet. Heck, before good highways for that matter.

From the Wyoming Bench: Launch of iCivics in Wyoming
Thursday, March 12, 1914. Weird fascinations.
An issue of the Cheyenne paper from 1914 demonstrates that sexual mutilation of minors, just banned in the last legislative session, as been around for a long time, although ostensibly it exists for a different reason now than formerly.
Bishop McGovern's send-off was being filmed.
The nation was reinforcing the Mexican border.

Interesting U.S. Supreme Court opinion, with potentially vast financial consequences. And, while I haven't studied it yet, and haven't seen any commentary of this type, I wonder if it also will ultimately go on to be present a basis for other arguments about the nature of Federal grants, which might have an even more vast, and entirely unintended, series of consequences.

Monday, March 9, 1914. Surprising news on Mexico.
Jesús Salgado, a lieutenant of Emiliano Zapata, surrounded Chilpancingo, the capital of Guerrero, with s force of 5,000 men.
Other news of the Mexican Revolution hit the front page of the Laramie Boomerang, including some surprising "facts" about Pancho Villa.
The story on the fire in St. Louis was tragically accurate.
Mexico figured in the headlines of the Cheyenne paper as well.
Prime Minister H. H. Asquith proposed to allow Ulster to vote on whether to join a Home Rule parliament in Dublin.
YMCA Convention, Salina Kansas:

Finds in the Week: Vintage Poster on Food, 1917
We've posted on this topic in the past, but here's one we haven't posted
This particular one is sort of oddly contemporary, combining the current points of folks like Michael Pallin, the paleo diet folks, and even Pope Francis, here and there.
Y Cross, UW, CSU, Donations, Money, and Lost Opportunity
Postscript II
This is the Y Cross which UW and CSU jointly own: Y Cross Ranch | Wyoming Ranches for Sale
I've posted an earlier thread, well really a compliant, on the plan to sell this facility. This listing, I suppose, shows why the universities are so tempted, or rather have yielded to the temptation, to sell the place. Quite a nice location.
Well, the answer to this question; "I wonder if its too much to hope for that the decision to depart with the Y Cross might be reconsidered?" appears to be "yes, too much to hope for."
The Wyoming Supreme Court issued its decision yesterday concluding:
I'm not surprised and I'm sure the Court is correct, but it's disappointing anyway. That disappointment must be directed at UW however, which still has the opportunity to behave correctly here, along with CSU, but which probably isn't going to.The district court correctly concluded that the donation from the Davis Interests to the University Foundations was a gift, that the MOA did not create an implied trust, and that only the attorney general has standing to enforce the terms of a charitable gift. We thus affirm the court’s dismissal of the complaint and amended complaint for lack of standing.

There's not an App for that. WYDOT
There's nearly an App for everything, but not for Wyoming road conditions. I know I can sign up for email alerts and the like, but an App is what I really want, and what you really need.
With an App, I could worry just the necessary amount, without having to turn the email on, on my phone, and hear the "ding, ding, ding" stream of emails as every road in the state turned cruddy, save perhaps for the few I care about.
Come on WYDOT, give us an App.
