COMMANDER OF
LEGION VISITS
WYOMING CITY

d. Il. Quinn, national commander
OF the American Legion, was right.
at nome on Saturday when at the
mead OF the welcome party he dash
Gu down the main street of the
town, cad in chaps, spurs and full
COWBOY regalia, and astride a west
ern cayuse. Commander Quinn was
right at home, for he is a native
CT the big COW country of California
and was reared in the saddle as a
COW hand on his fathers ranch. He
seemed to get as much kick out of
the welcome stunt as the local men,
bers of Fred Coe Post who planned
the entertainment.
A banquet was given on Saturday
in honor of Commander Quinn, at
tended by the Legion men OF Powell
and Cody and the business men of
Cody. Quinn made a fine talk. A
California o he paid high tribute
to the scenic wonders of the Rocky
mountains and enthused over the de-
lightful time he spent in Yellowstone
with his old class mate, Horace NJ.
Albright.
Commander Quinn is heart and
soul in his Legion work. He is a
fearless fighter for what he thinks
is the due of the world war veter-
ans and any service man who needs
direct contact with the veterans
bureau a get it through the ma
tional commander. The itinerary of
his tour will take him practically
all over the United States, attending
conventions in many of the states
OF he Union. Cody was very FORUM
ate to have an opportunity to enter
tain a man so much sought after as
the national head of the American
Legion. He spent Saturday night
here and on Sunday went to Billings.

Rawlins Man Given
Write-up in Magazine

In the last issue of the Union
Pacific Magazine there was an ex-
cellent write-up of Chas. r. Riford,
one of the most popular engineers
who has ever work on the Seventh
District.
The write-up, which is as follows.
was accompanied by a fine picture of
Mr.. Riford:
Charles e. Riford, who was re-
tired on account of poor health in
September, 1922, started r%ailroading
on the Northern Railroad of New
Hampshire as a brakeman in 1875.
Later he fired on the same road be-
tween Concord, N. H. and White
River Junction, Vermont. All en-
gines at that time burned wood and
the firemen had to keep the engines
clean. In 1878 he went firing for
the Burlington at Creston, Iowa, be-
ing promoted to engineer and run
ming from Creston to Council Bluffs
and st. Joseph. In 1888 he came
to the Union Pacific as engineer be-
tween Rawlins and Green River,
where he worked continuously until
September 10, 1922, when he was
retired on account of poor health.
Says Mr.. Riford, MY contact with
the officers of the Union Pacific has
been the most pleasant of any of
my railroad experiences"

a Profound Political Thinker

Our Congressman, non. Charles e.
Winter, finds himself in demand Is
an orator almost everywhere he
goes. He was at Flint, Mich, recent
ly and was called upon to address a
Republican banquet. The lacal paper
says that the banquet room OF the
Hotel Durant was filled to overflow
ing. more than 500 being seated,
while fully $50 persons who could
not be accommodated at the tables
waited till the dinner was yer and
were then admitted in order that
they might listen TO the program.

and refused to be further bound by
its proceedings, thus proving their
object in attending. This has always
been their attitude. They have never
had any use for a third party unless
1t could be made a tail t the Demo-
cratic kite, and it Is further sus-
ceptible of proof that they have
never been able to carry this State
except on occasions when they could
fool a considerable number of vot-
ers into believing that they were
working for the good of the
commonweal instead Of for their own
selfish ends.
They fooled Kinder and his
friends once. To a certain extent
that was probably his fault, as his
confidence in the Democratic leaders
was misplaced and he was betrayed.
But when they attempted to play the
same game twice, Kinder was there
with the goods and forced them to
either play fair with him or get out.
They preferred to get out.
And now the members of the Con-
ference for Progressive Political
Action will have the satisfaction of
knowing just how strong they are
as compared with the other parties
and more particularly the Democrats.
If the Democrats desire cooperation
they can nominate Kinder at the
primary election. If they are for in
dependent action, they can choose
M of the other candidates. They
have come to the parting of the ways.
They cannot fool the farmers all the
time.

Honorable Charles e. Winter,
congressman at large for the state
of Wyoming, was the third and last
speaker on the program. Prior to
entering congress he was a lawyer
and member of the judiciary of his
state, and has also engaged with dis
tinction in literary pursuits. He is a
scholarly, polished orator, a close
student in his country's history, a
profound political thinker and a
capital story teller. With a person
ality of this kind it will be scarcely
necessary to state that he held the
close attention of his audience"

nor would Bob Turner ever allow
untrue things to be said about his
employer, If within his hearing and
his power to reply" Mr.. Konold
then spoke OF the aim OF the engin-
GERS organization being to cooperate
with the management, which, on the
Union Pacific. he said is "appreci-
alive. far-sighted and just" He said
employees could rightly feel that they
always had a friend at court. and
that the management would deal
fairly with them.
Mr.. Mcintosh, n gifted orator,
spoke of having been born INTO the
Union Pacific family, although not
now a member of it. His father was
agent at Kimball and Jimmie" en-
tered railroad service as a messenger
for the Union Pacific. Calling at
tention to the fact that on the NOR
row came Memorial Day. he asked
his hearers to reconsecrate them
selves to the service OF their country.

Mr.. LETTERS paid a tribute to the
wives OF the guests of honor. and in
cidently to all the wives of Union

port of a good woman. We may
well adopt the motto OF the Navy,

our s~weethearts.' Joe Ottman has
educated and made more trackmen
than anyone within my knowledge.

the officers n / gratefully acknow-

emplyoe. Nothing has given me
greater pleasure than to see men
attire years OF hard work. take ad-
vantage of the company's liberal
pension plan. and spend the after
noon OF life in ease and content

Mr.. Turner responded with some
amusing "Reminiscences OF his long
service. How Bob Baxter was
frightened by a snake placed under
his plate by Ed Dickinson. was in
t~crestingly and graphically told.
Uncle Joe was so affected hat he
could only say Il thank you ALL" but
II was plain to be seen that both

Secretary of the Interior under
President Wilson.

entire Teapot Dome and Elk HIS

that certain lands or wells were

the use of the Navy for some great
emergency: while Secretary Fall ana
