After mmer Coal

KEMMERER Word was re-
cetved in Kemmerer that Edward
Raines. representative of the Co
lumbta Steel company and of the
Blazon Coal company. will arrive
in kemmerer early in April for the
purpose of continuing negotiations
looking to the purchase of coal prop
erty OF this district. For some time
past tho companies mentioned have
had a keen eye on several local prop
critics, with tho supposed intention
of making a purchase or purchases
which will solve the big steel COM
pany's problem of cok for its i'm.
mense ron blast furnace in Utah.

has already been let
Former visits OF representatives of
the Columbia have interested at least
three local coal mine owners, The
Pacific. the Star and tho Sheldon
properties having been under official
Columbia observation. And It Is OK
pected that representatives of all
three of these properties will be in
kemmerer when Mr.. Raines arrives.
for the purpose OF taking care of h
best interests of their companies
properties. Some time ago h figure.
$500 900 was recorded in connection
with n purported price mentioned in
negotiations which were opened with
the Pacific company by a Columbia
representative. Recent information.
however, is to the effect that that
moun was merely specified ''in
passing" tina It was not given to
serious consideration by the company
whose property was involved in the
matter.
Shortly after the first visit of Mr..
Raines. n representative OF the Sta
mine. Mr.. Turner. arrived from Rex
burg, Idaho. with tho news that his
company had practically perfected a
deal with the Blazon interests. where
by their mine would either be leased
to or purchased outright by the lat.
ter company. The lease phase of the
pending agreement was especially in
teresting to local coal operators and
miners for the reason that under It
400 ton of o must be mined from
same within a year from date of
agreement. and within ninety days at
least $50 IONS must be dug.
Cokeville coal mine owners have
also become interested in opening
negotiations with the peo-
pie. Mr.. Roberts Of the Roberts hotel
of that place is taking the initiative
for his company in trying to interest
the huge steel corporation in coking
coal property which lies about thir.
teen miles out of Cokeville. The pur.
chase OF this property by the steel
company would necessitate the con.
struction of a 13-mile railroad. which
in itself would spell a great deal of
Importance to our neighbor town on
the north. That representatives of
the CokeviTle property will also be in
Kemmerer during the visit of Mr..
Raines is understood.

est difficulty in the way of its
continued rise toward civic beauty.
Cheyenne, for instance, in vastly
less advantageous surroundins, has
yet the beauty that goes only with
streets and lined with big
trees. And the only way to get our
trees is to plant them now.
Trees are not all. In the spring
season, when womaIe, man and
nature alike feel the urge to dress
up with particular reference to
woman and Nature), there is moth
ing more delightful to the eye
which combs the great brown
stretches in vain for a little greer,
than the rows of emerald, well wat
erred lawns, glistening in the sur
along our best residence streets.
Keep at the lawn, and plant
trees. Then, if you want a truck
garden in the back yard to supply
you with fresh vegetables, that is
your own affair. You don't owe
that to the city; but your civic pride
should compel you to plant some
thing green.
And in ordering trees for plant
ing, keep in mind that those raised
in western nurseries, particularly
nurseries at IN altitude about the
same as that of Casper, will prove
most hardy and satisfactory.

Beans at a Profit

MEETEETSE-R- T. Allen. county
agent. asks the question. "Can the
Greybull Valley market beans at a
profit?"
Some ranchers in that section have
attempted to market wneat,' he points
out and goes on to say: "It is very
doubtful Il the latter can be grown at
a profit. except for feed and then II
is possible that more feed can be
grown in a crop of barley or oats. But
it might be different with beans. On
good ground. as is found everywhere
along the Greybull river. with proper
care 1000 pounds OF beans can be
produced to the acre. A bean crop can

depleted by the death of Gavin
Young, Sr.. who passes away at the
home OF his son, Gavin b. Young, in
the Belmont addition. His death was
due to a severe attack of grip, from
which he had suffered for the past
two weeks. The funeral services were
held at the Congregational church on
Tuesday afternoon. Rev. w. p. Nap

The deceased was born in Scotland.
August 4th. 1850 and he grew to man-

Sixteen counties n extension

The potato project was one of the
outstanding improvements his year.
Seed potato work began in 1920. In
1922, 100, 900 bushels of certified seed
were produced, valued at Sc cents a
bushel. therefore $4,000. If i~nstruc-
tion hao not beer given and common
table stock produced the price would
have been 4S cents a bushel or s4S,-

HAEC ACCT

Another landmark passes. An
other handsome headstone rises in
the graveyard of Other Days.
As in New York the famous hos
telries and restaurants of the pre-
war era ring down their final cur
tain one by one in the face OF pro-
hibition, SO in Casper.
The day of the open saloon Is
gone for good, and it was only a
question of time before the Henning
bar passed. 1t is not one Of the
oldest bars in Casper, where from
tier history was made, and in which
many a thriller of the downtown"
days was enacted. Rather it was
the meeting place, in the halycon
boom times, of thousands who came
here seeking wealth in oil. 1t WIS
the place where the drinking elite
assembled; where deals we're made
over cocktails; where oil and wills
key were won't to mix. Its place is
now taken by the brokerage firm of
Wilson, Cranmer and Co., success
sors to Taylor and Clay.

Henning bar; If you are a "wet,"
because of what it used to be; II
you are a "dry" because it was the
only place in Casper where one
could get a good glass Of buttermilk

STOP PUBLIC ACCIDENTS

Mayor Blackmore's public appeal
to Casper to stand back of the
public safety campaign will find n
warm response in the hearts of all
those citizens who have the well
fare of the city and of mankind
in general at heart. There is room
for Improvement here, as there is
in any f~ast-growIng community
that is a center of Industrial life.
Several terrible accidents have
occurred in and near Casper as the
result of criminal carelessness; not
ably on the Salt Creek Highway.
The Salt Creek Highway is not a
road for those Juggernauts of Death
the big auto trucks, to travel thun-
derously without fignr., or care
lessly driven. Neither is it a speed
way for the local maniacs who op
crate private ars at a dangerous
rute of speed. Let all be careful
all of the time; for the public is
lulled into a false sense of security
when a long period of time has
passed without any serious smash
ups.
The Mayors proclamation reads:
"Everybody's job is nobody's
job, except when it involves safety.
Ten years experience in Industrial
safety work has left its mark on
the minds and hands of millions of
people to be utilized in the ground
work for n great rational public
safety campaign. For every person
killed in an industrial accident
three are killed in a public accident.
"The next big step must be for
the control and elimination of pub
lie accidents. The thought of pub
lie accidents must be replaced by
the will to replace them"
GOOD wishes, hearty approval
and flattering remarks will not
prevent a single public accident.
Everyone must put his shoulder to
the wheel and back the public
safety movement in each commun-
ity. Let every man. oma and
child do some definite part in this
work for humanity.

~CARNARVON AND


Lord Carnarvon, financier Of the
expedition which startled the
world with the discovery of King
Tut's tomb, is dead in Egypt. He
died before the inner tomb of the
ancient Pharoah had been opened.
The mummy of King Tutankanmen
will not see the light of day for an
other year, so carefully must the
relics from the outer tomb be re-
moved.
passes on, just as the world began
to know his name. He gained a
measure of lasting fame through
an association with the dead of
centuries ago. The world did not
know of him during his life, before
he put up the money for the ex-
petition.
Without for a moment detracting
from the credit due the English
lord, do not forget the name of
Howard Carter, the American
Psychologist who searched for the
hidden tomb for more than thirty
years. 1t was he who interested
Lord Carnarvon in his project. II
was he whose clear vision, held I'M
waveringly through a lifetime of
labor in the interest of science,
made possible the discovery of the
only tomb of the ancient Pharoahs
not previously entered and despoil-
ed by robbers. 1t was he whose
idea it was that the last resting
place of the now famous King Tut
would be found under the excava-
tons of other tombs made by other
Egyptian expeditions.
Carter devoted his life to the
finding of the tomb. Lord Carnar-
Won devoted some of his money,
and his last days, to the quest.
Both deserve credit; but as is the
i%nvariable rule with the small in
ventor and the financial hacker,
the moneyed man got the lions
share of the praise and the pub
licity.
This might not have been SO
true had it been Carter who sue
cumbed out there in Egypt. In any
case, the type of man who will
search through the shifting sands
of the Sahara's edges for thirty
years to find his pot of gold Is not
the type of man who would gain
say his Lordship-a good English
sportsman-honor and a modicum
OF international fame.

To Maintain Highway

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of the

Held Highway is to begin al once. nc

PLANT SOMETHING
REF

In a country as naturally devoid
of foliage and green things as much
of Wyoming is, the duty of every
citizen who owns a house with "A
plot of ground is to plant trees and
q lawn Even though he owns only
a vacant lot, to improve it with
shade trees will not only add to the
value of his property but be of real
service to his city.
Vegetation has a real effect on
climatic conditions. This fact has
often been proved. Trees tend to
modify climate. They make win
tiers less cold and summers less
hot 1t has even been commended
by some meteorological and botan-
ical experts that they bring, gradu-
ally, an added amount of rainfall
to a community.
Of course the few hundreds of
trees which will be planted this
spring will not bring about nny
change in climate. But eventually.
when irrigation projects are all fin
ished; when Wyoming is much
more thickly settled; and when
trees are planted throughout what
was formerly a vast semi-arid re-
gion, the effect will be perceptible.
The beauty of the city OF Casper
will be greatly enhanced by the
planting Of trees. The city might
well and several civic organizations
and many individuals in the worthy
attempt 10 give the metropolis of
the state adequate shade and at
Tsct.Yeness. Casper has a wonder
