To Extend Salt Creek
Pavement

Again she Salt Greek highway. This
tine we arr going to get twenty more
miles q pavement. and we ARE going
n get Il right away. Some people
have been saying hard words about the
state highway department. but the
state highway department has not
been to blame for the long delay in
getting this road finished The high
way department would have gone
ahead last year Il they could have got
ten the United States bureau OF a
to consent to the kind OF road that
could be built with the money they had
10 spent and then they had 10 satisfy
the oil companies too. who were con
tributlnK a large noun Of the money
for the work. Right here let me tel
you taxpayers that not ore cent Of the
$500. 600 that will be spent on this road
yet this fall. will come out OF your tax
money. you rs a taxpayer are moi con
trIbuting one cent toward this read
other han the amount you pay FOR
your automobile license. That Is a
tax hat you must pay. and you also
shuid pay your annual dues to the
Casper Motor club who are doing great
work for the benefit OF all owners Of
machines. Each and every owner Is
deriving a great benefit from the la
bors Of the Motor club. and II you are
not contributing your annual dues Of
two dollars toward its support you are
a moocher and should Immediately
get in line. Whenever you see a Cas-
per car without the emblem OF the Cas-
per Motor club on its radiator you
know that that car Is owned by a
moocher. Maybe the owner has not
had this brought TO his attention and
that should any member see his car
on the street and call his attention to
the fact thai he has no motor club
emblem that he would Immediately fork
over his two dollars for dues and an
other $3.50 for the emblem. and thus
show the world that he was no mooch-
er.
Perhaps you win Gsonder what all
this motor club talk has TO do with
the new Salt Creek highway. 1t has
everything in the world to do with Il.
1t puts at the hack OF the state high
way department an organization that
has n force equal to THE Invisible
Government" II is the Power Be
hind the Throne" The force that en-
abies these good servants of tae public.
the state highway department. to go
down TO Washington and demand ,lhe
things which the state of Wyoming
wants. Tho Casper Motor club has
been behind every foot of road i'm
provement that has been don in the
state CT Wyoming, and very especially
every foot that has been in Natrona
county. Therefore It is the pateEt
duty OF every man or woman who
owns a n or a truck or a Ford to
send his or her two dollars into the
motor club at the off ce OF the cham
Der OF and add their weight
to this nplendid organization that Is
standing like a wall OF granite behind
the state highway department.
The new pavement on the Salt Creek
o viii be about twenty miles OF
nine foot. cement base SIX inches thick:
with n two and one-half inch top OF
gravel and asphalt. This Will carry
tho loaded trucks that are daily TAX
ing millions OF dollars worth OF pipe,
machinery and merchandise out to

their destination. The next aporopri.

the way into the Salt Greek camp.
After that II VIII reach IN to Sheridan,
M before you sons have finished
