A ROMANCE IN OIL AND
A TRAGEDY IN GOLD

In the population figures just given
out by the ensus bureau, as IA result
of the 1920 census, appear the fol-
lowing:
Casper, Wyo., 11,447; increase, S,SOS.
or 1888 per cent.
Cripple Creek. Colo, 1925; decrease
3.S77. or 62.5 per cent.
These figures tell two astonishing
stories. One is a record for phenom-
email growth, the other a record for
unusual decline. The first is a ro-
nance in oil. the second "A tragedy in
gold.
Ten years age Casper was a town of
fewer than 5000 persons. in the center
of a promising district, filed with great
hopes for the development of the oil
in contiguous territory. Gradually the
hopes have been fulfilled and today
Casper is a city marvel. with great of
flee buildings, hotels that rival the

best. and refineries that are the great
est in the west.
Ten years ago Cripple Greek still
vas known as the greatest gold camp
in the world. Its fine hotels were
crowded to capacity. its streets were
thronged with people, its nights as
wide open as its days. With the COM
ing of war and the increase in the cost
of living, the camp began to decline.
The price of everything but gold has
gone up. and as a result the gold camp
has suffered while prosperity has
reached practically every other field
of industry.

Fire is the greatest enemy of all the
forests. 1t not only destroys valuable
timber and forage resources. but dries
up the streams. drives away wild life
and turns the beauty spots of the
mountains into desolate wastes. In the
national forests of the Rocky Noun
tains of Colorado and Wyoming and
the Black Hills of South Dakota,
there were 277 fires last year which
burned over 1900 acres of land and
destroyed 81 100000 board feet of tim
ber-enough to build more han a mil
lion five-room frame houses. The most
striking fact regarding these fires is
that 76 per cent OF them were caused
by human agencies, mostly due to care
lessness. and could. therefore. have
vice 100000 to suppress these fires and
the expenditure Of many days and
weeks of hard work.
In Idaho and Montana the forest
fires of 1919 will long be remembered.
In these states. due to unparalleled
drought conditions, the forests became
as dry as finder. No rain fell for
months and high winds prevailed.
Scattered fires started by lightning or
by campers and settlers grew to great
conflagrations. A total of 2,25S fires
occurred in this northwest country
during the summer season. Over IL
million acres of forest land were burn
ed over and three billion board feet of
growing timber. valued at more than
four billions of dollars. was destroyed.
To suppress this holocaust the forest
service expended 100000 and more
than one forest officer sacrificed his
life in this great fight to save the ma

Meeting the Demand

Meeting the demand for more efficient telephone service is
just as difficult as meeting the demand on any other public
concern-wheher it be an oveT-crowded grocery store, a pop
uar ticket window, a bargain counter or anything else where
supply is running short.
Conditions are unusual throughout the entire manufacturing,
mercantile and domestic world. Deficiencies in telephone
service which have been quite obvious for some time are
directly due to these abnormal conditions.
Materials are Observation-Disclosures are not able to meet the
acknowledgement supplies cannot be had-the wal diverted
all activities in other directions, and they are just beginning
to come back. Until the normal level is struck, there is bound
to be shortage of supplies and this means unavoidable
deficiencies.
The telephone service is probably no better or no worse than
the general average of the business and domestic routine
The telephone management is in a vigorous campaign to get
its service back to the old standard of speed and accuracy.
Patience and cooperation on the part of the public will great
Iy aid in bringing about mutual satisfaction.

the show. This garment is composed
of two panels, one in the front, and one

The less extreme fall skirts are two
inches shorter than last seasons and

likewise are shorter, Dut necks are

C0UNTy'S MONEY IN
MILTON BANK $17,551

On August l the amount due to the
treasury of Wayne county from the
Farmers bank at Milton, now in the
hands of a receiver, on the checking
account kept at that bank, by the
county, was s17,55158. The county
also holds two certificates of deposit
each for $4,000, issued by the Farm
ers' bank
1t is stated that the county funds at
the Milton bank are intact, and that
the full amount of the deposits is duly
credited to the county on the books
Of the bank.
1t is stated that the Milton bank s
legal apportionment Of county funds
had been approximately $4,000. On
May 81, however, the checking acc
count of county funds at this bank
amounted to $31,336.20.
Spring Tax Payment There.
This exceptionally large deposit is
partly accounted for by spring tax
payments which the bank had re-
ceived from Washington township res
idents about that time. These tax
collections amounted to approximately
$4,000.
It Is stated that the latter part OF
May 1t had been the intention to check
out Of the Farmers bank the state
share Of county funds on deposit there.
but this action was delayed when the
cashier, Oscar M. Kirlin, who killed
himself July 1, requested that the
money not be checked out until after
harvest. when the money situation
would be easier.

DIES IN HOME OF HIS
FATHERS; EXCEPTIONAL MAN


A distinct exception to what has
come to be a general rule in Ameri-
can life is to be noted in the case OF
A. Frisbie Andrews Of Winsted, Conn,
who has just died at the age of sc in
the house in which he was born and
has always lived. The dwelling was
built in 1870 by his grandfather, Sam
uel Hayden, who shod horses for Rev
dictionary officers in his shop across
the street when the troops passed
over Wallin's Hill. The dwelling was
tavern in those days, and when the
house was remodeled later the original
lines were kept Thus the original
frame was preserved for the old pic
ture, the old man ending his days I'M
der his grandfather's roof-tree.
Beyond this fact the correspondent
tells nothing of Mr.. Andrews; maybe
there was little to tell, probably his
annals were short and simple enough
In the land Of his early forbears his
continuing life in his fathers house,
and his grandfathers would have been
a commonplace of England or North
Britain But in the United States to-
day such an incident must be thought
singular to New England as a matter
OF course-save possibly in some re-
mote southern mountain district-and
one chance in ten thousand. In ten
thousand? Does even one man in ten
thousand in this land Of continual
change and f1ux. restless as the sea
abide in the house of his fathers until
he die?

STORY OF GREAT WAR
IS TOLD IN GRAPHIC
MANNER BY PICTURES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-The story
OF the American Expeditionary Force
is told In pictures on the walls of the
National Museum here In a perma-
nent exhibit opened to the public.
Drawn from life In paint, pen and
ink or pencil by American artists,
commissioned and sent to the front
for that purpose, the collection Of
nearly 500 studies detailing almost
every phase Of life in the army over
seas Is spread over the walls of half
a dozen great, well lighted rooms.
Among the scenes depicted are ruin
ed French villages made sacred for
ever to Americans because of Ameri-
can blood freely given to tear them
from German hands. There are the
homely. appealing scenes from behind
the lines with happy-go-lucky young
sters Of Pershing's division in billets
mixing among the people of France,
the very old and the very young
people. Here and there are grim re-
minders of the great tragedy In groups
of huddled dead in wrecked enemy
trenches over which the tide of vic
tory had poured. Again, half glimpsed
through downpour of rain, a trudg-
ing, sodden infantry column is NOV
ing onward through sea Of mud as
the artist saw it.; or an endless line
of weary gun teams drags forward
the batteries to blast the road to tri-
umph.
At one point the artist caught and
held for his fellow countrymen the
breathless tensity of forest outpost,
peering through the leafy screen of his
covert toward the enemy lines, his
rifle Rugged close with fingers
clinched about the trigger. Again 1t
