Casper Have $4,000 i'm 1925?
Say the Merchants in

Who has been responsible for the startling growth of Casper dur
ing the last three years? We a thank only the daring business men,
who, despite the laughs and jeers of merchants more firmly established
in the downtown district, went to the very edge of the busienss district
and there placed themselves in the hope that Casper was destined to
become a metropolis.
The oufgroyyth of this daring movement, some three to four years
ago is 10 apparent to the careful observer of economic conditions
A new business district has sprung up. A new downtown section, which
means that the day ia here when Casper ar no longer be considered
a "Main Street" town. Along Second street and East Yellowstone High
way from Dmbin street east for several bolcks, substantial buildings
speak well of a bright future.
Practically every household need, every luxury, and every type
of service may be found in this news section. Shop in this dist1ct when
ever possible, and do your bit to show these builders o # a city that the
people appreciate a service done.

A NEW DEMAND FOR COPPER

The copper and brass research as
sociation says that the widening
range OF uses for copper in this
country is illustrated in an interest
ing way by newly discovered meth
cd of treating rope with solution
of copper, in order to protect the
rope against mould, rotting and ma
rine growths. Impregnating rope
with tar does little good, for these
marine pests literally "eat the tar
out Of the rope and then devour the
rope itself. Consequently, the 200,
900 fishermen in this country, who
use annually about 2OO,OOO,OOO pounds
of rope, have found rope renewal a
costly item of expense.
Recent experiments by the United
States bureau of fisheries having
demonstrated the efficiency OF the
copper-treated rope, arrangements
have been made to place it on the
market in the near future. The cop
per is applied in solution of oil.
Bulking less, weighing less and cost
ing less to apply than tar, copper
looms large as the rope preservative
of the future,-Mining Record.

THE GARDEN OF THE GODS

TN THE nesting wales and on the
4 grassy plains which lie at the foot
Of the Great White mountain that
points the way to heaven lived the
Chosen People. Here they dwelt in
happiness together. And above them.
on the summit Of the mighty peak.
where stands the western gates to
heaven, dwelt the Manitou.
In order that the Chosen People
might know Of his love, the Manitou
stamped upon the peak the image of
his face, that all might see and wor-
ship him. And there each day the
Chosen People came to pray and wor-
ship, where the first bright rays of
the rising sun embossed the image in
their golden glow. There In happi-
ness they dwelt, their realm extend
ing just as far as they might see the
face of Manitou over hill and plain.
And the land was fair and the chosen
tribe was envled by all the dwellers
of the plains who knew not Manitou.
But one day, as the storm clouds
played about the Peak, the image Of
the Manitou was hid. Low hanging
clouds swept down from out the sky
and crept to earth in mist and fog and
rain, and the happy, smiling face Of
Manitou was hid, and none could see
II. And down from the north swept
a barbarlc host Of giants, taller than
the spruce which grew upon the noun
tain side and SO great that they shook
the earth with their strides.
With the invading hosts came ter
rible beasts, unknown and awful In
their mightiness, monstrous beasts
that would devour the earth and tread
1t down. And as they came on the
Chosen People were frightened, and
in their fear they fed to the Holy
Mount, for in the sight Of their titanic
foes they were as grasshoppers.
As the invading tribes came on. the
Chosen People fell on their faces and
prayed to Manitou for aid. Then came

SILVER INQUIRY

Congress cleaned up considerable
legislation before adjourning March
a, including authorization for an in
quiry into the gold and silver mining
situation, by a special committee of
the Senate consisting of Senators
Nicholson, Colo; Oddie, New; Good
ing, Idaho. Republicans; Walsh, Mont,
and Pittman, New, Democrats. The
committee will begin it's investiga-
tions about April Is and will recon-
mend Legislation Jan. l, designed to
overcome the present depression in
the gold and silver industries, par
ticularly the situation which will be
created by the expiration of the Pitt
man law through completion of pur-
chases of silver at 81 per ounce
The commission will investigate
the following:
Causes of decrease in production
of gold and silver
Causes of depressed condition of
gold and silver industry.
Production, reduc tion, refining.
transportation, marketing, sale, and
uses of gold and silver.
Effect of decreased production of
gold and silver on commerce, indus
try. exchange and prices.
A joint committee of the House
and Senate was proposed but oppo-
sition in the House forced amend
ment of the bill limiting the COM
missions funds and time available
before Congress adjourned did not
permit of action on the proposal. In
stead the Senate authorized the in
quiry by it's special committee

Labor, Trade and Commerce

The Department of Labor, under
Governor Sweets proposed admins
trative code, would comprise five di-
visions: Factory Inspection, Oil In
spection, Free Employment Offices,
Compensation Insurance, and Indus
trial Relations, all under control of
the Commissioner of Labor, to be
appointed by the governor. 1t is
proposed to retain a commission of
three, to handle the work of the in
dustrial commission, composed of the
Commissioner and two associates.
Factosy inspection work is now un-
der the Secretary of States office.
The compiling of labor statistics and
the settlement of wage claims are
also under the Secretary of State.
Obviously they should be under the
Commissioner of Labor, who will
have associated with him two assist
ants, serving at per diem compen-
sation.
A saving of S49,5OO.OO is estimated
here.

Best Hatchery In State
Pitkin Miner,


Supt. S. E. Land of State Fish
Hatcheries, was Pitkin visitor here
Saturday, making an official visit to
the state hatchery here.
Mr.. Land was we'll pleased with
the showing being made this year at
the hatchery, saying this was the
best hatch he had seen anywhere and
one of the finest punches of Young
fry he had ever seen, even in the Pit
kin hatchery.
Many places are just getting their
eggs eyed up" says Mr.. Land, "as
the water is so cold that the eggs
will not hatch until 12O days, while
Pitkin eggs have been Matched since
early in January" The water sup
plying the Pitkin hatchery cannot be
beaten any where in Colorado, and is
equaled in but very few places in
the state.
Mr.. Land heartily approves of the
methods of feeding and caring for
the young fish used by Supt. Corum,
and sasy he is getting as good, if not
the best results of any hatchery in
the state
With hatchery double the capac-
ity of the present one, the needs of
all\ the streams tributary to the Gun
nison could easily be taken care of.

County Agent Discussed

AT an enthusiastic meeting of the
Stockgrowers' association last Satur-
day, the decision seemed unanimous
in favor of our not needing County
Agent. In other words, referring to
some question in last weeks Repub-
lican, Gunnison County is not "finan-
cially able to support County
Agent" and he would not be worth
''his SALT" in Gunnison county, much
less salary of some S2500 year, a
car, and expenses paid.
We feel that it is casting reflec-
tions on our intelligence" to suggest
that we assume any more expensive
bills, for have we not recently found
out that they are limitless? We are
not saying "hands off-mind your
own business" are simply mind
ing ours! ANON.

and commerce would take over and
exercise the powers and duties of the
State Bank Commissioner, the Com
missioner of Insurance, the Public
Utilities Commission, and the Bureau
of Building and Loan Associations
now handled by the State Auditor.
There would be three divisions in
this department: Banking, Insurance,
Public Utilities Such a reorganiza-
tion has worked splendidly in Ne
braska, Illinois, and Ohio, and the
cost of clerical stenographic help
would be materially reduced.
To perform the work of the pres
ent Public Utilities Commission, a
commission of three is provided, con-
sisting of the Commissioner and two
associates.
This reorganization would save the
state S53, $4,000.
