Banker AbsOlved

R1vERToN-E. H. Luikart, presi-
dent Of the Farmers State Bank of
this city. was exonerated OF all blame
attached to him in connection with
the failure in Omaha last year Of the
Lion Bonding and Surety company.
This Information was sen him by the
court at Omaha. with the explanation
that II was the order of U. s. Attor-
;ney General DauEherty.
Mr.. Luikart was indicted by a fed
eral grand jury along with others
whose names appeared in connection
with the defunct company's CORE
spondence and against whom charges
were laid of using the malls to de-
fraud. Mr.. Luikart was at M time
vice president IF that corporation
but disposed of his holding and all
other interest in the company in 1919
when he came to Rlverton and 1t de-
veloped hat at a considerable later
date Irregularities occurred in the
MANAGEMENT of the company's af-
fairs that finally led to diBas.er. Sta
tionery used to carry on co~rrespon-
dence was purchased before Mr.. LUX
arts severance and was sti!l being
used when the alleged defraua took
place. Inasmuch as Mr. Lulkart's
name appeared on the stationery of
letters introduced a evidence he was
also indicted. Complete dissolution fol-
lowed. however. as quickly as the at
torney general discovered the facts.

THE souAREST CITY
THE oRT IS BOOMING

The whole state of Wyoming will
rejoice with the northern section
upon the prosperity that has come
upon it in the last few months. The
good fortune is directly traceable to
the building of the new railroad
through a section that has had its
development arrested for many
years by lack of transportation ia
c%ilities. The northern counties are
devoted largely to agriculture and
~stockraising. These two industries
have been particularly hard hit in
recent years AID the main source of
prosperity therby largely destroyed.
A particularly unfortunate coal
situation has contributed also to dis
astrous conditions. The Sheridan
field formerly operated by five
large competing companies was
taken over by the Peabody Coal
company, owning mines in various
sections of the country. The output
of the Sheridan mines was curtailed
in favor of mines elsewhere that
could reach markets with greater
: convenience. This took from that
country n big item of prosperity
that had obtained since the building
up of the country. Railroad facili-
ties were to blame largely for the
situation.
, Now that a new railroad line will
open up an entirely new field and
market and afford connection with
other markets the old time coal
prosperity will return to the Sheri-
dan field md it will be highly
profitable for the Peabody company
to operate all their properties and
possibly open new mines along the
route of the new railroad.
There are other in this
favored northern country that will
now some into use, for instance, the
vast mountains of timber SO sadly
needed to crowd out the high priced
building material SHIPPED into the To-
cal markets from the northwest.
The north is also on the v of
oil and gas development and it is
coming upon the heels of railroad
development and by the same enter
prising interests. The north has ex-
pericnced only the most desultory
attempts to exploit oil and gas in
that territory And that mostly by
amateurs. Never in well organized
form.
While the country will likely al
ways remain devoted more or less
to agriculture and stock raising,
mineral development is sure to plav
prominent part. Not only coal,
oil and gas, but precious metals as
we'll The mountains are full OF
Diem. "

To Develop Oil Land

BUFFALOe The arrival of Mr..
Clapp, geologist for the Haskell in
terests in the city gives assurance of
the activity that no doubt will be
experienced IN this city and vicinity
lust as soon as the weather permits.
The development Of oil to await the
completion of the road but 1t is eI-
pected that there will be flowing
wells along the route of the railroad
by the time it is ready for operation.
1t has been stated by ex-governor
Haskell that arrangements have al
ready been made for the drilling Of
several wells as soon as locations
arc selected. The ex-sovernor's plan
is to push the development of this re-
source as rapidly as possible.
The Haskell interests hav several
prominent oil and mineral biologists
in Wyoming seeking the fright loca-
tons for development. These men,
who are nationally known in their
line are laying the tentative plans
now and It is believed probable work
on some of the locations will start
as soon as the weather permits.
That northern Wyoming. as wen as
other parts of the state will eventu-
ally become a big oil production CEN
ter. is the belief Of experts who have
looked over the field.
According to his announced plans
1t is evident that Governor Haskell
intends to determine whether or not
the Eeeoligists are correct in their
estimates of the possibilities here.
The plans are along lines very sim
liar To thOse of the HaakeU Intarasts
in Oklahoma where development of
resources has been carried on right
along with h railroad building.

To Build Modern Hotel

RAwLNS-George o. Stephenson.
manager Of the Ferris hotel. has an
nounced the construction of n new
S350.00o modern hotel in this city.
The recent rapid growth of this
city and its future possibilities have
combined to create a demand for a
hotel of this class. according to Mr..
Stephenson.
The new edifice will be constructed
OF brick and will be fire proof and
modern throughout. Just how modern
is shown by the fact that the pre!im-
mary plans call for a roo garden OF
the latest design and n combination
ball ROOF and convention hall. When
used for convention purposes there
would be arranged a seating capacity
sufficient for 500 persons.
There will be not less than 100
rooms in the new structure and each

Gas Flow

DoUGLAS.-Natural gas has again
been brought in close to Douglas.
Tho latest producer is a well that
Earnest Nauman is drilling on the
Tom Williams place about six miles
south of Douglas in the bad lands.
At the depth of 10 feet the flow of
gas started and still continues. It
burned yesterday from 8 o'clock to
$50. when 1t was extinguished. Gas
has been found in several instances
in this section and It is believed that
4 deep hole VIII reach a supply that
will be commercially valuable.

It is all wrong. 1t always ends
in tragedy. It always entails a lot
of misery and humiliation for innc-
cent persons connected with the
principals. When a middle-aged
man and a young girl think they
can get away with the double life
stuff-they simply can't. That's all
there is to it. 1t is wrong from the
beginning. Violates all the accepted
conventions of morality and respect
ability. All the moral and statutory
laws.
Why do they do Il in the face Of
final explosion and consequent dis
grace? 1t is much less difficult to
go straight than to sin. That has
been the verdict of those who have
trod both paths. The ~sidestepper
from the path Of rectitude is not
the smart one, even if it does re-
quire ingenuity to dodge discovery
for a time. The certainty of the
disastrous outcome of departure
from the moral pathway marks the
person SO pursuing a fool An in
telligent person never goes against
certain disaster.
So the New York girl who ended
a ten years association with a
wealthy and soically prominent bust
ness man, by staying the man in the
case and then ending her own life
with the same pistol, did nothing
more than many of her sisters have
done and will contiue to do, when
they learn of the deception that has
been practiced upon them.
It was smart business for the man
to conceal a wife and family in the
suburbs, while maintaining the girl

was still smarter business to keen

her dangling in the hope Of mar
rage. always postponed for appar-
emily excellent reasons.
AS the years passed, the
stalled and suspicious became
aroused. The facts discovered, the
deception revealed, hope vanished
and tragedy stepped in and ended
it all.
To the world Il is Just one more
case of sordid immortality. Common
enough as the days go by. Another
instarce of fools attempting to re-
verse the moral ethics of society and
failing. Failing in the usual way.
Now the principals are gone.
They went on a great wave of
newspaper scandal. And as usual,
they leave behind them those who
will suffer and bear the odium of
folly for all the years they live. Tho
sufferers are blameless and inno-
cent. But it is inevitable and the
way Of the world.

the most ideal summer resort coun-
try. Already are there many dude
ranches, mountain hotels and camps
for public entertainment. Pic
turesque mountain roads and trails
have been built and more are build
ing. The coming of the new rail-
road has brought the announce
ment of at least half a dozen new
resorts to this picturesque locality.
Yes, Sheridan is coming out of it.
So is Buffalo. Miles City is no step
behind. They all attribute the pres
cnt prospects of great prosperity to
the advent of the new railroad and
what it is bound to bring to their
dooryards in the way of additional
development.
