LOWER FREIGHT NECESSARY

Lower freight rates on live stock

it is the only thing that will save the
people Of the west and middlewest

Melady, live stock commission man.
Marketing. grain and farm products
at the present high freight rates is
almost prohibitive."-

"A year ago breeding ewes were
selling anywhere from SIS to $40 a
head and today they are hard to
move in the west at IS OF $7>a head.
The past few years farmers in the
mtddlewest have practically aband-
oned buying breeders and right at
this time there is little demand for
this class of stuff. The corn belt
must look to the west for feeding
stock and II the young stuff is mar

another year.
There never was a greater abund-
ance Of feed, and the feeding demand
will be very heavy for cattle, sheep
and lambs, as this is the only way
the farmer can get any returns from
his crops."-Omaha Bee.

RAILWAY EMPLOYEES REJECT
OVERTIME PAY AWARDS

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Rules gov
erning the payment Of overtime rates
promulgated by the United States
railroad labor board last week to
supplant the overtime rules of the
national agreement covering shop
crafts employees. were rejected as
''unjustified" by a conference Of
regional executive boards of the rail-
way employees department Of the
American Federation OF Labor today.
A letter was sent today to all locals
conveying the results of a ~three-day
conference just concluded.
by no conceivable line OF rea son
ing" the Letter said, "can decision
222 be justified and this body de-
clines to accept it,"
All union members were warned,
however. to remain at work until
further official action is taken by
union officials. The letter advised
that 1t was considered best to wait
until the labor board had issued sub
stitute rules for the entire national
agreement before taking a referen-
dunn vote on the matter.
Meanwhile, however. the letter ad-
vised h men 'in time of peace, 10
prepare for war"
The seven rules announced by the
board last week owe payments for
overtime, Sundays and holidays. A
number of radical changes were
made and labor leaders declared the
new rules would materially effect
the earnings OF shop employees. A. o.
Wharton, labor member Of the
board strongly dissented from the
majority decision.
The letter today reviews the rules
controversy. pointing out that not
outstanding the railroads request
for separate negotiations with their
W employees. only three small
roads completed agreements with
their men. The unions had contend
ed for a national conference and
adoption Of a uniform set of rules
for every road In the country.
Dissatisfaction that but seven OF
the 1876 rules Of the national agree
ment had been passed upon by the
board was also expressed.
Intention to urge the board to
dispose Of all general rules imme-
diately was expressed. Until all the
rules are promulgated. the executive
boards decided to adjourn before
taking any final action.

Story Of Grow Heart Butte
Many years ago, according to the
legends. there was a great battle be-
tween the Crow Indians and the
Shoshones in the vicinity Of Crow
heart Butte. The Crows were de-
feated and retreated to the top of
the Butte, and were defeated there
and the heart OF one slain Crow chief
was cut out and empaled on a pole
and placed on top Of the Butte, hence
the Shoshone name "N~i-ahambe,"
meaning Butte Crow Heart.

SOUTH ENTRANCE FORMAL
OPENING GREAT SUCCESS
Cheyenne Tribune.)

The Kemmerer Republican has
been led, inadvertently no doubt to
call the opening or dedication Of the
Lander-Two-Gwo-Tee pass entrance
to Yellowstone park "a FROST
The event was highly successful.
When it is remembered that rs cars
carrying 900 people, men, women
and children, together with supply
wagons, a band and Indians went
over the route without accident or
unusual incident. and all those whose
destination was the Yellowstone
Park got through Sunday night ac-
cording to schedule, it cannot be said
that the affair was a failure.
The Republican further remarks:
THE ceremonies attending this
epoch-marking event were to have
been attended by a notable coterie
of big men in the affairs of the state
and nation, including the governor of
Wyoming, Robert D. Carey. What
eve may be said about the other big
men, Governor Carey was not
among those present. as he left the
party and continued on to Cheyenne,
disappointed with the palpable de-
ceit. which the whole proceedings
was being foisted upon the public"
The statement that Governor Carey
was not present probably arises from
the fact that he had been in the park
the week before with a party of
friends and the Friday before came
out that way to Lander, where his
guests took the train eastward.
Governor and Mrs. Carey, however,
remained in Lander and went back
over the entire route with the dedi-
cation party, and the governor spoke
at the ceremonies on Two-Gwo-Tee
pass Sunday afternoon. August 81.
The Republican calls it a Denver
tourist enterprise. The Tribune
Leaders judgment is that Denver is
only mildly and incidentally inter
ested In this matter. 1t has parks
aplenty Of its own The opening was
largely a Northwestern railroad
Lander enterprise, c~o-operated in by
Rawlins and the city Of Laramie,
because Of their interest in the Rocky
Mountain highway.
The Tribune Leader has no doubt
that the roads from the south of
Yellowstone Park via Daniel, Hoback
canon and jackson Hole are in ex-
cellent condition and that this will
also become a popular route. AS a
iA"teot W Adct we CdHuOl nave 100
many recognized entrances to the
Yellowstone park or too many good
roads In Wyoming.
Already the Milwaukee railroad
Is planning its entrance into the
northeast corner, with the result
that within five years Yellowstone
Park will be the hub Of a great rail-
road and highway wheel, with prob
ably 1000 visitors annually.
Every part of the state will profit
directly or indirectly by the influx OF
so many tourists.
