Over o the Crow reservation there is a young girl who has our sincere
from individuals sitting at ease o the back of their neck with their feet
three years old, and good looking: Her amt is Grace Battea and she lives
on a homestead needing money for improvements This summer she TOOK
country. She hired her W men drove the "bulLrake" and stacker, did the
cooking for the crew and put up 200 tons of the best blue-stem m the
reservation. We call that an achievement worth mentioning.
There is another kind of eourage-the rar@t-the sol that enables the

on the fiat of his back in a hospital for more than three years or We since

William Miigan who a recently fined $500 and sentenced to 60 days
in Jail for violation of the liquor law, states that he does noti intend to pay
his fine but proposes to ia" it out" This mean that the taxpayers of Park
county will have the privilege of paying Mr Milgan's board for two years

The spectacle If the republican standpaners trying % drag Mr. Con-
pert along o the county ticket reminds us of somebody trying to run through

We offer the campaign methods of the Rev. Y. s. Bean, of Craig, Colo,
whois a candidate for county Judge, as a suggestion to Mr. Goppert who is
relying upon tn support of the "better element" for his reelection.
A dispatch from Craig states that the Rev. Beans with a hand picked
purity squad startedo nut tic clean up the plague spots of the village. They
fired several shots into the floor of Tom Daughetys pool hall to prevent
tn escape of tn habitues engaged n a game of pnochle. Unfortunately
when the case against the proprietor for running a gambling hall was called
nc could definitely remember of having seen anyone gambling, and it
was dismissed for lack of evidence.
Since the advent of prohibition Montreal has become a mecca for
American tourists and a favonte convention city according to n Canadian
writing in Henry Ford's Dearborn Independent. The summers revenue
rom IN visitors across the border is estimated % be 100000 in this
city alone. Its popularity began in 1919 and since then has doubled yearly
until m Americans have practically taken possession of the city during
TIT summer months. The writer states candidly that they do admire
usb but they need or money and gladly tolerate u for the sake of the huge
sum w cay behind us. With Canada, Mexico, Cuba, England and all
Europe gathering in u spare cash, small wonder that we are chronicauy
hard up.
The golden stream which is flowing into Canada from the United States
brings forth som caustic comments from the Casper Tribune. The ei
toral says in part:
1t is with something approaching cynical amusement tina. the average
citizen o this side of the international boundary reads the annual report
of the Quebec Liquor Commission for the year ended June 80 which shows
profits of s30o0O00 from sales and additional revenue of s1,3O5,629 from
permits, fines and the five per cen tax o beer
This is almost idenucany the m statement Is the commission has
been able % report every year since it took yer contro-if anything it is
slightly better: AS a matter of fact the Quebec Liquor Commission scarcely
knows how to conceal its profits o how to keep them down % a reasonable
number of millions. 1t is obvious from the greatly increased number of
American visitors, both winter and summer, that the consumption of wines
and liquors must have greatly increased.
With over 100000 profit the Quebec government ought to be able
to extend Its bodybuilding program considerably next year.
J. ID. Woodruff, of Shoshoni, declares that he looks upon it as a par
teuIarly bad piece of hard luck that he had promised to make a n address
at the State Bankers Association and talk to "a bunch of hard boiled, dis
couraged, half broke bankers with nothing but ice water to eniven the
occasion" when he might have been at Josh Deanes barbecue.
