Once again let us call attention to the ends of
bolts embedded in the sidewalks upon the prin-
cipal streets of the business district, that once

cans which ornamented the street corners.
Strange as it may seem after all these years
the stub ends of the bolts remain. The city au,

If a person stumbles over these projecting
bolts, during the day he is not alone, for at least
q thousand of his fellow citizens do the same
thing. And what is more nine hundred and ninety

More than one fastening citizens bent on bust
ness up street somewhere, has been late to his

1t is the hope of all sufferers from intimate

The Busy Enforcer

KEMMERER-In proportion to
size the state prohibition depart
ment's activities at Granger brought
greater result than In Kemmerer,
as six cases OF gambling and three
of liquor law violation came to q
head when nine men were taken
before the clerk Of the court at
Green River where direct informa-
tons had been filed against them.
All were released under bonds of
$500.
State Agent Vosel, who had his
headquarters in Kemmerer for five
weeks with such surprising and as
founding success, secured the evil
dence in Granger on one of his side
trips from this city and claims to
have positive evidence against the
following:
The proprietor of the Commercial
hotel and one assistant for selling
liquor; a Granger barber, charged
with conducting n small brewery in
his home: and one OF the proprie-
tors and assistant at the Granger
hotel for violation of the liquor law.
Three were arrested at the Gran
ger hotel charged with gambling.

BootIegging in Wheat

The wheat growers of the northwest have an
other complaint. Bootlegging in wheat has be
come a flourishing industry since the Fordney
tariff law became effective with a duty of thirty
cents n bushel on this product. Dollar wheat may
not be n paying crop in Minnesota and the Da.
kotas, but it appears to be attractive to the
wheat growers and buyers in Manitoba, where
the price is from 20 to % per cent lower, and
in Canadian money, which is not as valuable as
Uncle Sans dollar. Smuggling wheat across the
international border has therefore become a bust
ness and the government may be called upon to
establish n wheat patrol to break up bootlegging.
1t is the old story of the American market rath-
err than the world market which the people OF
the world seek. This is the best market in the
world, and all producers everywhere want to get
into the United States, where prices are better
than anywhere else. The Democratic tariff law
did not have a duty on wheat and the Canadian
could bring his wheat into the United States free
of tax and compete with the American farmer.
Now that the Canadian can no longer come in
free, he bootlegs his wheat across the border
to get the increased price.

Much Grain Wasted

KEMMERER = County Commits
sioner C. A. johnson. who is in KEN
merer this week attending the meet
ing Of the board of county commits
sloners. is authority for the state
ment that a large amount of grain
has been ruined in the valley as a
result of the recent atorms.
Mr.. johnson states that It has
stormed as much. If not more. in the
valley as in Kemmerer. and that per-
haps not more than half OF the grain
being grown is harvested. The grain
yet remaining in the field has been
beaten down one way. and It may be
possible to cut one way cross the
field, and thus a v some portion
of 1t. but much of it will be a total

To Restore Bridges

GLENROCK-Acting with n col.
Gritty tina deserves the highest com
mendation. the county commits
sioners authorized tho repair OF the
Careyhurst and G,enrock bridges
oven the Platte river and the replac-
ing of the bridge leading to the Sin
clair tank farm that was swept
away by the storm of last week, with
an entirely new structure.
According to a report reaching
the city. the bridge at Careyhurst
had been carried out. but the report
proved to be untrue. It was warped
out of line and some Of the piling
was lost, but light vehicles have been
able to cross, although 1t has been
posted as unsafe for travel.
The Glenrock bridge was also, bad.
~ damaged and made unsafe for
traffic, but fortunately was not lost,
1t can be repaired within a short
time and at moderate cost. These
two bridges will afford a mean OF
communication with the tank farm
until the completion of the new
bridge. which viii require two or
three months at least.
The Importance of direct communi.
cation with tho tank farm was
brought forcibly home to Glenrocl
business men when It was learned
that several families that had beer
living in Glenrock were preparing to
move to the farm or to Douglas be
cause of the Inconvenience of travel
ing to the farm via Careyhurst, and
there was reason to fear that the
trade supplied by the working men
at the farm would be entirely lost to
this city for the same reason.

the plans outlined for an annual

with favor and appointed a commit

no doubt but that the matter will be

Where The Money Goes

1t is always a matter of interest to know what
becomes of the large amount of money received
tribution of every dollar received in the years
191S-1920 has recently been shown by the General
Electric company. AT cents out of every dollar
were paid to, the employees of the company as
compensation. 40.6 cents spent for materials, sup
plies, etc, Al cents surplus reinvested for en-
largement of business, So cents taxes, 4 cents
dividends to all stockholders, 90 cents transpor-
%tation, telephone and telegraph and IL cents in,
terest on borrowed capital.
1t should be borne in mind that by far the
for materials and supplies, taxes, public utility
service, etc, was in turn paid out by those who
receivede it, for wages and salaries.
Thus does industry cause a rapid distribution
of money among wage earners. Conditions which
encourage industrial development are the surest
safeguard of prosperity.
