GOV. BECK LIFE STORY
HISTORICAL BULLETIN

An unusually interesting and com
plete story of the life of Geo. T.
Beck, and his family, appeared in
the Quarterly Bulletin of the Wy
oming Historical department. which
was published under date of No
vember LIST. The historical article
was prepared by Margaret Hayden,
a great admirer of the Governor"
as he is known by his friends all
over the state. Before coming to
Wyoming Mr.. Beck was a south
erner. He was born in Virginia
and his father played a very prom
inent part in the reconstruction
period after the Civil war, serving
fon many years. Mr.. Beck traces
his ancestry directly back to the
Washington family and in the his
= tory are given several letters writ
ten in the eighties, which show the
family connections with the des-
cendants of the George Washington
family, the Buckners and the Lees.
The story of Mr.. Beck's arrival
in Wyoming is very interesting and
is a parallel to that of most of
the early day pioneers. When he
made his first camD on Goose creek.
in Sheridan county, about fifteen
miles above where Sheridan is, he
did not even have a horse, and the
nearest railroad connection was
about 165 miles away. But Mr..
Beck liked il. His partner wanted
TO go into the sheep business. They
drew straws and the sheep bus
mess it was. They brought the
first sheep into Sheridan county
and for eight years followed this
work.
Mr.. Beck had been educated as
an engineer and mining appealed
to him. While located on Goose
creek he built the water mill at
Beckton and also the first flour
mill in the northern part of the
state. Finally he came to the Big
Horn basin where he has PLAYED a
big part in the upbuilding of this
section. He promoted the first ir-
rigation project in the Basn which
at first was of gigantic nroportions
taking in practically all the land
from Hart mountain to Oregon
basin, including the north and south
forks of the %Shoshone river and the
Shoshone desert. which was the
name by which the Powell country
was then known. The Cody canal
was built under his supervision and
financing aud is now one of the
most successful irrigation projects
in the state.
The Beck article takes up several
pages in the bulletin and would be
much too long to re-publish, but it
contains So many dates and his
torical facts that it would be worth
anyone's effort to secure a copy and
read it.

Almost any car seems comfortable on the
showroom floor, but it's quality such as this
that makes the Studebaker Standard Six remain
comfortable after years of service.
The same standards of excellence are main
tanned throughout the body and chassis. In
the engine, for example, the crankshaft is
completely machined on all surfaces, a prac-
tice that results in the smooth, quiet, vibra-
tionless performance that characterizes all
Studebaker cars.
Judged solely on what your eye can see-in
beauty Of line and finish and exterior refine
ments-the Studebaker Standard Six Sedan
will command your instant approval.
But go deeper than that. Compare its hid
den, vital qualities-its design, materials and
workmanship-with cars selling for hundreds
of dollars more.
Studebaker never compromises-never uses
a substitute for genuine quality. Studebaker
has been building quality vehicles for IL years.
Come in and let us tell you the inside story
of the Studebaker Standard Six Sedan.

what's underneath
the paint before you buy

YOU wouldn't think of buying a house
i without first knowing how it is built and
the quality of materials used. In selecting a
piece of furniture you are sure to find out
whether it is solid wood or veneer.
Yet many people who exercise care in most
purchases buy automobiles without even lift
ing the hood or knowing about the hidden
qualities of body and chassis construction that
really determine ones satisfaction with a
closed car.
We want you to know about the unseen
qualities of the new Studebaker Standard Six
Sedan.
Down underneath its superb body finish is a
sturdy framework of carefully selected ash,
glued together and fastened in place by screws
mot nailed. Ash is scarce and expensive, but
Studebaker uses it because it best combines
proper weight and strength.
Upholstery is genuine mohair of high quality.
Various grades of mohair look much alike
the big difference is in the quality.
Beneath this mohair covering are many
nests of cushion springs, padded with heavy

SUGAR COMPANY SERVICE
ON EHALF OF
Better Crops Of all Kinds

Thirteen years ago The Great Western Sugar Com
pany beg an publication of a monthly agricultural mag
azine in English. 1t is sent free to growers of sugar
beets and others interested in this industry.
Advancement of all lines of agriculture in the
endeavor to make all crops return to the land
owner and the tiller of the soil greater profits"
was the announced purpose of the publication.
The Companys interest was naturally promoted
by the practical and scientific educational material
carried in the magazine not only about sugar beets blu
also concerning other crops grown in the farming sys-
tenn of this district.
There are few industries" stated the first issue
of the magazine, where the relations of the
producer and the manufacturer are so closely
industries where the proper spirit of coopera-
ton will result so much to the advantage of
both parties"
To the development of better farming practices
and of a helpful service to the growers and the beet
raising communities the magazine has s~teadfastly held.
These aims are also carried on by the Company's
agricultural department which now consists of more
than 100 feldmen; and by the Company's experimental
farm, from which have emanated improved practices
in rotation, irrigation, and other crop methods.
In coping with insect attacks on crops the Com
pany has tried to give service to the farming COM
munities. And in railway construction it has also en-
deavored to further the development of the commun-
tiles.
In planning for next years beet and other crops
the magazine, the feldmen and our experimental farm
are at the service of farmers. Growers not now re-
ceiving the magazine should make application for it
at their nearest Great Western factory.
