Stage All Set for
Big Frontier Show
Frontier Celebration Opens Next Tues
day-Cheyenne Already Filled
With Early Arrivals.

Cheyenne rapidly is assuming the
aspect of a mushroom town'-not in
the usage of the phrase to describe a
settlement that has sprung up over
night, but because its inhabitants APP
pear top-heavy. Looking down from
high buildings, the streets below seem
to De crowded with umbrellas of varie-
gated hues, but mostly f~awn-colored.
The ~Cheyenneites, to explain without
delay, are DOMINIC Frontier Days garb.
spreading sombreros, noisy shirts,
checkered pants, high-heeed boots-in
preparation for the Goth annual From
tier Days celebration which will open
ext Tuesday, July 25th, and continue
foul days.
Never before has the eve of the ia
nous wild west carnival brought forth
SO many and such big sombreros, such
automatically startling shirts, such
prodigious and amazingly gaudy neck
scarfs. The whole town seems to have
gone %'looney" over cowboy stuff and
harrassed h~aberdashers, viewing-with
alarm mingled with qualification
their rapidly diminishing stocks of big
hats, screaming shirts, gigantic necker-
graphic demands for doubly expedited
shipments of more such merchandise.
Therell be coolies of cowboys in Chey-
enne during Frontier Days, but every
body in cowboy outfits will not be cow
boys. The most picturesquely attired
person is as likely TO be a clothing store
clerk, who raided the stock before the
public rush began. as an hOnest-to-good-
ness twister of untamed horseflesh or
finished master of a trained lariat.
Cheyenne has quit worrying about the
railroad strikes effect on its cowboy
carnival next Wednesday, Thursday
ana Friday Strike or no strike, The
crowd will be there. The crowd. in
fact-a very large part of it, including
hundreds of riders and ropers-already
is there and ''rarin to 60" There
would be a rip-snorting wild west show
If not another person were to arrive be-
fore the celebration began. There is
hardly a wild west performer of note
who is not already on the ground,
while tenderfeet-well, the whole per
sonnet of the tribe of dude appears
TO have descended OF the capital of the
cow country. Cheyenne is set to "let
'er rip" and ride 'em high, wide and
handsome"

The Rawlins Republican reports
three candidates in the field for re-
publican nomination for Legislative po-
%sitions, they being Hon. w. W. Daley
of Rawlins for state senator, and X. III.
Alcorn of Rawlins and Fred III. Healey
of -Encampment for representatives.
Mr.. Daley has served with distinction
for the past four years in the state
senate, and Mr.. Acorn has served one
term as representative. They are
strong candidates and there is little
doubt of their nomination and election
to succeed themselves. Mr.. Healey is
a new man in the political ring, but a
very able business man and one who
would overlook no opportunities for the
benefit and advancement of the Platte
valley. Although a resident of En-
campment, his business interests are
fully as great in the Saratoga terri
tory and he spends a good share of his
time here. No stronger or more popu-
lar candidate could have been found in
the valley.

Drilling Resumed
by S. W. P. Co.
Expected That IA Few Hundred Feet
viii Decide Whether or Not the
Local Field Contains Oil. 7

The Southwestern Petroleum Com
pany has for several days past been
drilling again on their lease near Sar-
atoga, but accurate information cannot
be had as to what progress has been
made or what the indications are.
However, it is freely predicted hat a
very few days will now be required to
determine whether or not there is oil
in commercial quantities in that local
ity.
The new casing was set last week to
the bottom of the hole, something over
5000 feet. and drilling was at once re-
sumed- 1t is probable that the drill
has gone down 100 feet or more dur
ing the past few days. The results of
the operations at this lease are now
awaited with great interest, and The
Sun hopes to have n big news item in
connection with this work within the
next few weeks.

JACKSON'S HOLE COUNTRY
Mary Miles Minter and Twenty-Five
Others Now Making ''The Cow

The Jackson's Hole Courier of last
week says
"Twenty-six members of the Famous
Players-Lasky Corporation have ar
rived n Jackson and they have lost no
time in picking locations and making
preparations to film a popular western
story, The Cowboy. and the Lady
starring Mary Miles Minter.
Locations for this picture include
the town of Victor, 30 miles from the
town of Jackson, and the nearest rail
road station; G. ]. Palmer's Twin

famous Hoback Canyon, which is ac-
knowledged as the real scenic route to
Yellowstone National Park Jackson, a
typical western town, and Glacier Can
yon, west of Jennie's lake, in the very
heart of the Incompatible Tetons.
Charles Maigne, the director, is one
of the best, and assisted by Fred Robin.
son and Leo Pearson is securing d
thrill in every foot of film.
The director, in n way. belongs for
in 1884, his father accompanied Gen.
Sheridan through Yellowstone Park
and the Jackson Hole country and Mr..
Maigne's earliest ~recollections are
stories and stacks of pictures Of the
wonderland
THE picture being filmed, The Cow
boy and the Lady is a standard pro-
ductioH by Clyde Fitch and was played
for several a by Nat Goodwin"
The Courier also gives the following
account of an accident which befell the
amous movie star shortly after her ar
rival in Jackson:
Mary Miles Minter of the Famous
Players-Lasky Corporation, starring in
The Cowboy and the Lady was badly
injured about the face and shoulders
when a horse she was riding, stumbled
and fell, throwing her violently to the
ground, face down.

has been he aim of this Office to not
consider the arrest of any person for
the violation Of the national prohibit
ton act until it was thought that the
evidence against the various defend
ants was entirely sufficient to warrant
a conviction by any fairminded jury.
THE eases Already disposed of by
this office have resulted in the ASSESS

collector Of internal revenue on liquor
violations reach the sum of $17,S12.92.
Property valued Mt $9,264.5O has been
seized by the officers of this depart
ment. BY glancing over these figures
1t Will be seen that the government has
realized, up TO the present time on the
cases which have been reported from
August l, 1921, to July 1, 1922, a total
of ~$96,251.43. All of this has been nc
compished with IN expenditure of S24.-

the government of $~72,251.43. 1t will
be seen from these figures that the
statements made by sympathizers of

the facts.

WHAT 1T COSTS TO ENFORCE
PROHIBITION IN WYOMING
Department Has Been More Than Self
Supporting Since Beginning Its
Activities Last August.

"A great deal of wet propaganda has
been put in circulation during the past
few months in Wyoming says Federal
Prohibition Commissioner Carl Jack
son in commenting on the results OBJ
tanned by the Department since taking
over the enforcement of the national
prohibition act on August LIST, 1921.
Most of this propaganda has been
statements to the effect that it would
eventually bankrupt the government to
enforce the prohibition law throughout
the United States. How utterly alb
surd this statement is will be shown by
the figures which are now available
for the eleven-months period ending
June 30, 1922.
Much has been said as to the
amount it costs to enforce the prohibi.
ton law in our state of Wyoming, but
l wish to state to the people of my dis
trict that for the period mentioned the
total cost of this office including all
salaries. travelling expenses, rents, etc.
/ will not exceed $24,OOO.OO. During the
eleven months period, a total of 64C
arrests were made by this department.
At the present time all the cases Sc
cured by this office have been disposed
of. Out of this entire number Of cases
there has been but n acquittal. 1t

Lightning Starts Forest Fire.

Tom Quealy, of the Quealy Land &
Live Stock Company, who manages
the Quealy Basin ranch on the north
end of the forest in Pass Creek Basin,
was, according to the supervisors Of
flee, observing the progress of an cleo
trio storm about 6 o'clock last Friday
evening, when he noticed a bolt of
lightning hit just at timber line on
the north side of Bald Mountain, which
is located in the northwest quadrant of
the forest. ON account of the extreme
ly dry conditions, it was but a few mo-
ments before n smoke curled up and n
very nice start for n forest fire was
made. Mr.. Quealy Immediately COM
mmicated with the Bow ranger sta
ton and the forest officers at Medi-
cine Bow Peak, and started for the
scene with some men. Likewise For
est Ranger Henry made a night ride
in order 10 he prepared to bring in re-
Inducements from the vicinity of Elk
Mountain in case of need. Extra pre-
cautions were taken, for the reason
that the locality Is in the most mac
cessible part of the Medicine Bow for
est, and n very close watch is kept by
n~eighboring ranchmen, who realize the
disastrous effects of forest fires.
Forest Ranger Henry reported early
Saturday morning that the fire was
mailed Friday night before it could
assume any proportions.
