AFTER The BALL

Alta Booth Dunn has received a
order for a 5000 word story On the
Stampede Ball from the Sunday ed
or of the Casper Tribune
Russell Crane missed a party in
Denver and caught a freight out Of
Lander in order to be present ane
then missed it by two hours. 1t was
four o'clock in the morning before
he reached home.
Lloyd Coleman says that IL the
Stampede Ball had been in Meeteetse
and it had cost him $107.50 every
time he hollered, he would have been
an old man when he came out OF
jail.
Among the minor tragedies was
the case of Mrs. Walter Hoffman
who came 80 miles to dance and then
froze her fee so badly enroute that
she was unable to wear her slippers
and never got to the ball at all.
Miss Alice Files, who came from
Forsyth, Montana, for the party, says
she would come again If 1t was twice
as far.
After Art Mayberry's first whoop,
Chief Bird-hat sent him word that
he wanted to adopt him into the
tribe.
Fred Morris, in his dinner Jacket,
looked is If he had just launched a
battleship at Hogg Island.
The only thing which occurred to
mar an otherwise perfect evening for
Walter Ford was the loss of his hat
and shoes.
Mrs. Russell Crane, who was n Of
the reception committee, was unable
to appear because of a five foos
drift which blocked the driveway.
Bill Barlow made considerable fuss
over losing his favorite sweater and
cast aspeI sions upon the honesty OF
divers persons of his acquaintance.
After searching diligently for two
days Bill suddenly appeared with a
beaming face and announced that he
had discovered he vas wearing it
under his undershirt-
Among the happening which made
a gay world gayer for the Stampede
Committee was when Dulis Avfdis
slipped, a twenty dollar note to the
custodians Of the punch and said that
everybody present was to have a
drink on "the Duly.
Fights-wellknown said he had a
heap good time" because he had all
the elk meat he could eat and slept
on a buffalo robe.
Dale Petit was among the Injuns
who came over from Pryor and con-
sidered himself well paid for the hard
trip out.

CHRISTMAS
THIS YEAR FOR THE
POWELL FLAT FOLK

It will be no Merry Christmas on
the Powell Flat this year.
The ranchers look at each other
with sober faces and ask. what Is
to become Of US? And well they may.
for, with comparatively few excep-
lions. they are facing ruin.
In hard straits through low prices
for their products, the high taxes
have come as the last straw. The
following interesting letter received
by the Enterprise throws consider
able light upon the situation which
exists in that section and shows
what the recent tax notices mean to
the men and women who have
grubbed sagebrush, worked and sacri
feed to get a foothold and make a
home for themselves and children
upon what was a bleak flat until
they transformed it by their industry.
Powell. Wyo.
Dec. 18TH, 1922
Editor of the Enterprise:
The situation here is indeed de-
plorable. Very few Of the unit
owners are able to pay their taxes
this year or any of their obligations.
Those who got their beets harvested
before they froze in the ground, and
the ftw who had much alfalfa for
sale. are the only mes who made
anything on their farms.
The grain growers realized very
little for their crops after paying
their expenses for growing. harvest
ing and threshing same.
The potato crop. a large one OF ex-
cellant quality, was a liability and
great loss to the producer. Many of
the growers only received $500 and
$1,000 for a carload of potatoes after
paying the feight and commissions.
The very best returns gave only $1.00
for every $500 the railroads charg-
ed for freight
We shipped a carload of 66s bush
els Of strictly No. 1, U. S. standard
potatoes for which we received $l56
while the freight amounted to the
gum of s276. and this was much bet
ter than the average.

The New York Sun once received
a letter from a little girl asking If
there was a Santa Claus. It was an
swered by a write on the editorial

a classic and has been republished

Dear Editor-I am s years old. 8
Some Of my little friends say
there is no SANTA CLAUS.
Papa says If you see it in THE
SUN it's so.
"Please tell me the truth, is there
a SANTA CLAUS?

as compared with the boundless
world about him, as measured by the
intelligence capable of grasping the
whole Of truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as
love and generosity and devotion ex-
list, and you know that they abound
and give to your life its highest
beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary
would be the world if there were no
Santa Claus! 1t would be as dreary

MANY people have shown their

is his ability to propel himself through

Seal Huntlno,,


Newfoundland seal hunters for gem
erations have wasted most Of their
time in the actual location of seal
herds. 1t was like spending an hour
looking for berry bush that could be
picked clean" in ten minutes.
This appealed to the Imagination Of
Alan s. Butler, young English flyer,
out cunning for opportunity instead Of
waiting for her.
He contracted to locate the seal
herds at ten cents head, by air
planes. Now his Aerial Surveying
company is doing a land-office busi-
ness and Butler is on the road to
riches at twenty-three.
It's humbug, that opportunity
knocks once ut every mans door. OPP
portunity does pause at every mans
front gate, but she usually has to be
dragged to the door by constant
watcher.
