' This means that the right-of-way
given to the railroad company about
a year ago would revert back to the
city. The action was taken by the
lcouncilmen because they seemed to
be agreed that the railroad company
a misrepresented things to the city
officials in making their plea for
such right-of-way grounds.
one councilman stated after the
meeting that such action was taken
because the railroad company had not
gone through with its and
had shown little. inclination to do so
In h future. This councilman said
that the railroad officials had repre-
sented that the line was to stretch
from Miles City, Mont. to Casper,
whereas only the road from Casper,
or rather Illco, some Is miles north
west of here, to Salt Creek had been
actually built. He also pointed out
hat no move had been made looking
towards the building of a passenger
terminal here as had been promised
This councilman was of the opin-
ion that the railroad company had
built Just enough of the line to shut
Casper from any benefits of the rail
road line, since through freight shin
ments went into Casper and out to
Salt Creek without unloading or
hardly a stop here.
AS this councilman put it, the
North & South Railroad
had put an end to a large trucking
business here, and had resulted in
the cutting of the force of men at
supply houses in Casper to a mere
nothing, while all the time promis-
ing a railroad line from here to Sher-
idan and Miles City where it might
be of some benefit to this commun-
lty. h force of men at supply
houses here are now employed in Salt
Creek, he stated.
In the opinion of the city council
man, 1t was high time that the city
OFFICIALS here took some action to
eliminate any right-of-way gram to
this sort of a railroad company, and
machinery was set in motion last
night to accomplish this result.

government, the state, the county or

many of LaFollette's followers are
agreed would mean a nation of office

which can never be nodded into the
semblance of a political party for eff
fective purposes. They are ranting
IN the usual manner and those of
them entitled to vote will vote wrong.
Ihey make larger claims but these
claims never hold water when exam
med. The people of the northwestern
states are neither fools nor idiots.
They see the fallacy of the La Fol
lette appeal and the downright soul
duggery of the Wheeler appeal. They
know that this getting back to the
People" stuff is merely a plan to
folst upon them a gigantic bureau
racy at Washington more burden
some than the one we have and are
trying to get away from.
The way to get the peoples at
fairs back to the people is by com
mon sense and economy as pursued
by Mr.. Coolidge.
The Coolidge as c%ontrasted with
the La Toilette plan, is the same as he
pursued while governor of Massachu-
setts, get the government back to
the people by abolishing and restrain
ing the powers of the bureaucrats
whose ambition it is to govern from
Washington and scramble the coor-
dinate branches of the government
like they attempted to do during the
recent disgraceful Investigations at
the nations capital.
This Coolidge way of doing things
is entirely opposed to the socialist
program and appeals to the common
sense of ~hard-headed Americans
than n scheme to seize power and
exercise it remorselessly and merci-
lessly in a purely class interest after
the Russian Soviet plan of d~estruc-
ton.

ground of professional ethics had he
not constantly followed the same
course. But the contemplate part of
the whole thing is. that he and his
campaign managers made the at
tempt to convince organized labor by
false statements that Candidate Da-
Wis had all his life been a staunch
friend of labor, even in the unhap-
ply incident referred to. and would
have gotten away with it had not
some sufferers at the hand of Mr..
Davis possessed long memories and
called attention to the court records
at Parkersburg. The disclosures of
these records has turned the labor
vote of the Cl%arksburg district, Mr..
Davis former home, against him and
has had the same effect in other
mining districts of West Virginia.
Organized miners in Wyoming,
who for years lived in peace with
the operating companies certainly
cannot stand for a man who desires
to place them in Jail for maintaining
their well established rights.

GOOD ROAD TO

Road troubles of the Rocky Noun

Rawlins which have been such a
strong detriment to travel this sea-
son are to be confined to the 1924
touring reason for by the time the
travel starts next year the road con-
struction work nov going forward
will be completed. This assurance
comes from the state highway de-
partment to the Journal and NAV be
relied upon.
The stem Of the T running north
from Rawlins connecting with the
Rawlins and the Lander arms at
Muddy Gap has been completed and
is a fine highway. 1t is the type
or road that is inviting to the tourist
and will tempt the traveller north
from the Lincoln Highway.

of Wyoming. Outfits are now at
work this fall until snow prevents

With the improvement of the road
north of Lander by the crawling of
the Milford road and the mainten-

reservation built last year and this,
the road prospects for the 1928 sea-

"DON'T BE

Mr.. Coolidge will not be dragoon-
ed or prodded into chasing around
the country replying to attacks up
on his administration by John Davis,
who doesn't know what he is talking
about, and by such blatherskites as
La Toilette, Wheeler and Charley
Bryan. The Coolidge administration
is all right. The people know it is
and they also know the president is
all right. The president knows and
the people know. it is a matter of
mutual confidence. This confidence
cannot be shaken by Socialistic bunk
UNI nor Democratic claptrap, and that
is all these two interests are spread
ing.
He will make a few speeches as
occasion demands and the campaign
advances, but there appears little
reason why the president should as
sumo the burdens OF an extended
speaking tour. He has as it is,
enough business directing the gov
eminent to occupy most of his wax
ing hours. and as long as he contin-
ues to operate in the interest of the
people. as he has done since assum-
ing the presidency the people are
satisfied to have him remain on the
job, while they look after his re-
election. And as can be readily es-
timated. from the trend of affairs
they are doing this In splendid man
ner. The Democratic party has prac-
tically disappeared west OF the Miss

Handling Clay Soils Is
Most Difficult Problem

OF all the various types of soil to be
found, none when properly handled
are more productive than the heavy
clay. The very fineness of these soils
gives them a large water-holding ca
pacfty. which will adapt them to the
production Of small grains and
grasses.
The management of these soils pre-
sents special problems for considera-
ton. Their fineness gives them a ten
dency to bake and to require more
tivation. The lack of sufficient sur
face or undertakings makes them
cold and wet in the spring, and when
there is a lack of vegetable or organic
matter, they are hard to work and less
productive.
One of the great drawbacks with
this type of soil is the fineness of the
soil particles. To Offset this condition.
the farm practice should be so ar
ranged that the operations will sys-
tematically open up and make these
soils more porous. Special attention
must be given to the time and type
of blowing and cultivation. Heavy
clay soils should be fall plowed when
the moisture content is right. If
worked when wet, they are apt to
puddle and bake While 1t is neces-
sary to- pillow these soils deeply. the
depth should be lowered gradually.
The early working of these soils, in
the spring, Is most important.

Use of Fly Sprays and
Different Repellants

The use of fly sprays and repellants
offer some relief at milking time, but
it is doubtful If thorough spraying
will affect the milk flow. Trials at the
Missouri experiment station and re-
Gently at the Kansas station have
tended to show no increase In milk
flow following liberal spraying. The
sprays used in the Kansas test were
partially successful In reducing the
number Of flies during milking time at
a cost of one to two cents per COW per
day. The decrease in milk flow which
occurs during fly time is largely due
to short pastures and hot weather. To
see that the cows have sufficient feed.
water and shade is therefore Of pri-
mary Importance.

Figuring Contents
of Silo Made Easy
Simple Table Worked Out
at Iowa College Is Good.

A simple table. worked out at the
Iowa Agricultural college, is endorsed
as practical and good by the animal
husbandry workers at the New York
State college Mt Ithaca. They point
out that tables would hardly be needed
If silos contained nothing but air. or
water. or rocks. or sand. But silage
packs down, so that the higher the
silo, the greater the pressure on the
bottom layers, which means more
pounds to the square foot at the bob
tom of the silo. Other factors, such
as time of filling and condition of corn,
also cause variation In weight.
The following table shows the aver
age weight at various depths of cubic
foot of silage; the first figure indicat-
ing feet and the second pounds: 1920,
12-27h, 1929, 16-301s. 1892, 20-s3h.
22-34ss, 24-3e, 2e-37A, 2s-ss Is
30-39ss. 32-40%. 34-41X. 36-42x.
3S-44, 40-45, 42-46. 44-47, 46-4S, $3.50
6O-54.
If IL by 40-foot silo contained 80
feet of silage after being allowed to
settle and the exact number of tons
left in the silo Is wanted, the area
would first be figured by multiplying
half the diameter multiplied by itself
times 3.1416 SO 6x6x3. 1416 equals
1871 square feet. The total amount of
silage was 113.1x36 or 4071.6 cubic
feet. The amount fed Off was
1131x16 or 1906 cubic feet
From the table, the average of 36
feet of silage is 4274 pounds for each
cubic foot, or total of 4071.6x42A or
ia. 900 pounds. The amount fed on,
however averaged only 301A pounds
to a cubic foot-as the table shows.
In other words. 1909 .61301A equals
53,175 pounds fed out. The difference
Is 11S,S25 pounds remaining, or ap
so tons.
