And some they smile and chat
awhile
And say the trip is grand;
And some look sad and voice real
mad
Their disgust for the land.
More motely crew you never knew
In days of pioneer;
The sweet and sad, the good and
bad,
They all are mingled here.
They're welcome all, whate'er the
call
Took them away from home;
And may good luck for car or
truck
Be theirs the while they roam.
They'll ne'er forget the trip you bet
They made to "Wonderland,'
The happy days DER scenic ways
To tune of piping Pan;
May come again mid u and rain
And of their own free well
To camp once more at Cody's door,
The home of Buffalo Bill.

CODY

o, little brown Wyoming town.
How very changed you are!
To other day when cowboy gay
Came riding from afar.
When hitching posts and bronco
hoses
Stood lining up your streets
And stockmen had much wealth and
glad
They spent on wine and treats,
While blazing gun for threat or fun
Spoke often sharp and loud,
Mid muddled beat of ponies feet
And wild shouts of the crowd.
Then string team lean with drivers
mean
Come plodding thru the dust
With couster low and wagon bow
Marked Overland or Bust"
They hung about saloon and town,
Unloaded what they bought,
With sweaty shirt and month-old
dirt,
A tuff hard life they fought.
The old stage mail it hit the trail
With wild broncs in the lead,
And made it back, a ramble shack,
But record still for speed.
The town looked out with sheer or
shout
To greet the corners in,
A friend got back, a dude, of quack,
Or woman marked for sin.
n here or there about the square
An ole squaw squatted fiat,
With bulgy bag in greasy rag,
Or papoose round and fat.
a miner old brought wealth untold
From claim in secret spot;
A trapper rough sold hides and stuff
That stunk meath sun red hot.
Another one with age old gun,
A pack train hazed to the corral;
From livery barn came 'cuss' and
darn
And steaming horse flesh smell.
And some there be who live to see
The change is real and true;
Who live apart, with grudging heart
Give entrance to the new.
On river side the Shoshone tide
Still whips the canyon wall;
To sunlit sky the Rockies high
Still point their snow-caps tall.
Out on the hill the coyote still
Awakes the lonely star.
His tattered mate for old times sake
Howls answer from afar.
Below the grade and road you made
The scattered rail yards lie
And in and out and all about
The speeding autos fly.
In tourist park it is some lark
To hear the tourist spin
OF lovely loan he left at home
And gumbo he's been in.

PLANS SUPPLIED

Detailed plans and specifica-
tions of this home may he obtain
ed at low cost by writing to the
Home Plan Editor. The Bismarck
Tribune.
A porch entirely glazed in, and
included under the sweep of the
main roof, becomes really sixth
room in this pretty house. and is
disable the year round Easement
windows are especially attractive in
effecting this result, and when pro-
perly fitted with hardware and
frames are as practical as double
hung windows. Easements have the
advantage of permitting the use of
the full opening for air.
Another desirable feature of this
plan is the fact that the house has
very few openings on the rear. so
this side will be helpful in keeping
the house comfortable, if it is given
the undesirable exposure. In addi-
ton to the five rooms and sunporch,
there is a large storage room in the
attic.
The living room is back of the
sunporch. A sunny group Of case
ments, long inside wall space d.,
rectly opposite them, and an open
stair at the rear of the room fur
nish an interesting background for
furnishing. There is coat closet
which is equally convenient from the
front or rear of the house. The door
atz the rear Of the living room leads

STATE COP. TO
MARK TIME ON
THE ELECTORS
Will Await Action of the
LaFollette Meeting To Be
Held Here Saturday

Fargo, Aug. 14.-Real Republicans,
meeting in Fargo today for the pur-
pose of discussing the state political
conditions are not expected to take
any stand on the presidential cleo
tors problem until after the LaFol-
lette workers have held their meet
ing in Bismarck Saturday, was the
opinion expressed at the morning
session.
At that time the LaFollette men
are expected to decide upon the with
drawal of their four electors, nomin-
ated at the presidential primary, from
the Republican ticket. If that is
done, and opinions were expressed
this morning declaring that all in
dications point to that, state con-
vention will be called to name an
electoral ticket. The session here
called by Judge Spaulding, chairman
of the state committee. went into the
affair this morning at length but
no decision was reached.
After q lengthy discussion the con-
ference passed up a motion to no.
inmate five electors.
G. N. Livdahl, of Bismarck made
the motion for the new Coolidge cleo
toral committee, but at the suggestion
of Twitchell, the conference did not
vote on the motion. Mr. .Livdahl said
he had been informed by a member
of the flonpartisan League, S. S. Nc
Donald that the four La Toilette cleo
tors would be withdrawn from the
Republican ticket. The only diff
Guilty SO far, as the leaders are con-
cerned, is getting them nominated.
Twitchell declared that the motion
should be disregarded. He said the
proper procedure was to call state
convention, and that this can be done
after the LaFollette people decide
what they wish to do.

Half Cars
Sold Here In 1923

Approximately $50 new auto
mobiles and trucks we're sold In the
city OF Rawlins during the last cal
endar year. or one and one-half car
for every day of the year. No fig
ures are available to show the ag-
gregate wealth which changes hands
in this one class of transaction, but
1t is reasonable to suppose the
amount to be in the neighborhood
Of half a million dollars.
OF the total number of new auto
mobiles sold last year the Ford
comes first, with Il total sale Of 253
Ford machines, two Lincolns, and
three Fordson tracors. Other sales
were as follows: The r a W II $
Garage, IS ~Studebakers and one
Packard; The Rawlins Motor Co.
CT Bucks, two Cadillacs and two
G. M. C. trucks; The Lincoln High
way Garage, 30 Hudsons. 81 Essex.
and Al Chevrolet cars; II. B.. Miller.
five Oldsmobiles; G. P. Beals. two
Oaklands: and others. The Smiley
Motor Co.. Is unable to give out in
formation covering car sales be-
cause of Dodge Brothers policy, but
1t Is known that the number for
1928 is probably we'll over three
o OF Dodge cars.
A consideration of the volume of
tire. a and oil. accessory, and re-
pair business involved in the opera
tion Of this number OF cars added
annually to those already in opera
ton in Rawlins and Carbon County
leads to an appreciation OF the i'm
portance OF this great industry in
this region The County Assessors
records show virtually 1900 auto
mobiles in this county at the date
Of August l. 1929.
