OF CASPER

Casper.-Damage to the Burlington
railroad system through Wyoming due
to storms, washouts and wrecks Is
placed at between 100000 and S.
100000 by Burlington officials here.
E. Flynn, general manager Of the
road, who Is in Casper from his head
quarters In Omaha, supervising the
work Of recovering bodies from the
wreck Of Burlington train No. 30, at
Cole creek, east Of Casper, estimated
the damage at somewhere near these
figures.
ut cost us 100000 to repair the
damage done to our lines In the yicin-
ity OF Bonneville last August" said
Flynn.
"That work, which was just corl-
pleted when this last storm carried
away track, fill and everything else,
Will have to be done over. Elsewhere
through the state damage to our lines
Is four or five times what 1t was last
August.
1T strikes US at time when we
were moving cattle from Wyoming
ranches to market In Denver, Omaha
and elsewhere. Movement Of this
stock will have to walt.
"Due to the storms we have had to
suspend temporarily all movements Of
freight, and this also Is costing the
road considerable amount OF nancy.
BY hard work we expect to have the
damage repaired In all sections of the
state and trains moving US usual in a
few days, just how many days l can
not say ut this time.
"A steel and concrete bridge which
we had considered storm.proof, has
been washed out at Sheridan. The
line on both sides Of Sheridan Is
washed out, SO our reports say.
"Our track at Greybull has been
hard hit. Reports reaching Casper
told Of the havoc wrought In Wind
River canon by the storm. In this To-
callty, these reports stated, the Bur.
lington system has been virtually put
out Of commission. Boulders as large
as box cars have tumbled down the
hillsides, carrying tracks and every
thing with them, according to the re-
ports.
Half the residents of Greybull were
driven from their homes and property
damage estimated at quarter of a
million dollars was done In flood
that covered the town with water
from one to four feet. The water
came In swift current, carrying
everything in its way that 1t had the
strength to move. 1t resulted from
the swollen waters Of Shell creek,
Greybull and Big Horn rivers. No
casualties have been reported.
The North and South Railroad, a
recently completed project to the Salt
Creek oil fields, has been washed out
for approximately five miles.

About 10000 Americans committed
suicide last year. according to insur-

around 10,5O0 murders. .
The suicide rate was 10 out Of every

Is futile attempt to escape from the

The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1923-05-10

The Nevada senator pointed out that
the producers of silver are more con-
cerned in the administration of the
act than the smelters, since the lat
ter could continue to operate and pros
per with silver at IS cents. while a
number of silver mines would be COM
PEELED to close if subjected to lower
prices. Senator Pittman further stat
ed that he had received protests from
American producers of silver against
the decision of the director of the
mint that future purchases of silver
at 81 per ounce are limited to 10000
900 ounces. The miners contend there
is no authority to contract for future
deliveries of silver; that the method
of offer and acceptance is indefinite,
unfair preferential and subject to
fraud; that it was improper and I'M
fair for the mint to formulate pol
icy after conference solely with repre-
sentatives of smelters; that there is
conflict of interest between smelters
and mining and milling companis pro-
ducing bullion; that it would be as
fair to permit the miner to tender the
estimated value of silver in the ore
broken down in his mine as to permit
smelling companies to tender for flu
ture delivery estimated amount of
silver in ores they had purchased;
that producers Of per cent of silver
bullion Of the United States are en-
titled to as much consideration as
those producing 95 per cent; and that
the mint policy will result in the smell
ters obtaining a larger proportion OF
The benefits of the Pittman act than
producers.

do something for Europe. Well, we
loaned Europe $1,000 zoe GOO; we ex-
tended commercial credit to the ex-
tent of some more billions; we donat-
ed hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of supplies to the needy in Eur
ope; we sold European countries sur
plus war supplies at a small fraction
of their cost or their market value;
we left our markets practically wide
open under the democratic tariff law
for four years after the war; we let
the allies collect and retain money
that was due us from Germany on ac-
count of the cost of keeping Onr
troops on the Rhine. After eve had
done all that and then tried to help
in the near east by encouraging Am
erican capital to go there and build
railroads and dig oil wells, the same
Americans throw up tn
hands in horror and protest. You
simply can't do enough for Europe or
the rest of the world to please them.
