The linoleum floor is smooth, resilient, and enduring. It is waterproof and the easiest of all floors to clean and keep clean. It can be kept looking new year after year by an occasional waxing and polishing. It is extremely quiet and, be- cause cork IS nonconductor of heat, Is never cold to the touch. The linoleum floor IS comfortable, beautiful, sanitary, and yet inexpensive because it never re- quires costly re6nishing. It does not splinter and does not absorb grease, dust, or stains.

Wyoming's fourth democratic gov.

The ceremony was preceded by .

Brigadier General Edmund Witten-

party was escorted by a group OF
mounted Cheyenne police and q
squadron from the Thirteenth cav
airy of Fort Russell.
One third of the inaugural address
was devoted to the subject Of pro-
hibition, the new executive declaring
hat it vas his purpose to uphold
the majesty and the dignity OF the
law at any cost"
His speech, in part, was as follows:

continued. Good citizens who have

MONTANA RANCHERS
ASK RELEASE FROM
|RR|GAT|SN DISTRICT

A situation similar to that which
o exists in the Greybull Valley r.
rigation district has developed over
in Montana, where the settlers are
protesting against being taxed for
the building of a canal they do not
need, and where misrepresentation
as to cost Of construction on the part
of the promoters is charged by those
who are expected to pay the freight.
The cases are so parallel that the
history of one might be the history
of the other by the mere changing of
names and with some little difference
in minor detail.
The following Is from the Red
Lodge Picket-Journal:
Claiming that the cost of construc-
ton of the proposed Red Lodge
Rosebud irrigation district canal will
be excessive. and far beyond that
which was originally represented to
them as a reasonable estimate,
many farmers owning land which
Is included in the district are signing
a petition which will be presented to
the district court asking that their
land be withdrawn from the irri-
cation district and the work allowed
to proceed without their financial
assistance.
Acting upon their promise made
with the district board at a recent
meeting in Billings. the state irriga-
ton commission this week passed a
resolution approving action Of the
board in contracting for a sale Of the
bonds Of the district and accepting
a bid for construction,
Immediately when II became ap-
parent that approval lad been given
to the plan many land owners in the
district among whom are several OF
the most prominent ranchers in the
county. called a meeting to protest
the action and attempt If possible to
withdraw from the district through a
petition to the district court. 1t is
claimed that owners of more than
half the land in the district have
signified a willingness to sign the
petition.
The petition is a lengthy legal
document. going into every phase of
the question. Instigators Of the plan
to withdraw trol1 the d'stilct Claim
that when IL was first r-"r,s-d re;
r~esentatlon was made , thrm that
the cost would not exceed $25 per
acre. Now. they claim, the most
recent estimates place the probable
cost at not less than $43 per acre
and many persons, claiming famil
iarity with this class of construction
say the work would exceed that
amount.
After having rejected several bids
for the work and been in numerous
conferences with members of the
state irrigation Commission, members
of the irrigation district board ac-
cepted a bid of s219,S00 for the
work and of SIS per cent of par for
a bond sale. This action was ap'
proved by the state commission.

author, Editor Ralph Smith Of the

see the boot owl that nocturnally
perches on top Of the cross on the
little church next door. How incou'

owl those glaring globules of gold
beheld us with disdain and for sever
al moons 1t swayed to and fro upon
some nearby clothes line.
Our thoughts then reverted to the
truth expressed in that classic poem:
Grey's Elegy Written in a Country
C~hurchyard:
Save that from yonder ivy-mantlet
tower
The moping owl doth to the moon
complain
OF such who wander near her secret

present over the workmen's compen-
sation act. The point Of attack Is the
flat rate assessment. AS the law
stands those employed in the mechani
cal department Of a newspaper are in
the same class with coal miners, oil
drillers; Users OF explosives and other
admittedly dangerous occupations.
The publisher therefore pays the
same tax as the mine owner, which
is m~anifestly unfair.
The newspapers throughout the
State are unanimous in demanding
a change and a new bill is being
drawn up at Cheyenne which will
be presented at the next session of
the legislature. If employments are
classified in respect to their degree
of hazard, we think the writing staff
of a newspaper might properly be
listed along with the coal miners and
workers in high explosives. At any
rate it is a far more hazardous &C.
cupation to be editor of the Cody
Enterprise than to feed its job press

The most fascinating picture we
have seen since we anne across a
likeness of the Rev. Harry Bowlby,
head Of the Lords Day Alliance and

in the country. is that of Miss Geor-
gia Hopley. OF Bucyrus. Ohio. who
claims the distinction of being the

We throw this newspaper cut in the
waste-basket only to fish 1t out again,
prop it up in front of us and study
it. each time more firmly convinced
that the Almighty especially created
Miss Hopley for the job Of prohibi-
ton agent. Yet 1t is no the fierce
aggression. the CLEAN of high purpose
shining from her piercing eyes which
attracts us and draws US again ard

We have observed that winter is
