Although Mrs. Patrick had been
failing in health for the past several
weeks, it was not until Tuesday
evening Of last week hat she be-
came seriously i'll. Three doctors
were called to pass judgment on her

her recovery, she was taken to Den
yer on Wednesday evening of last
week. Her condition vas such that
an operation could not be made when
she arrived in Denver At a post
mortem that was held the doctors
were OF the opinion hat an operation
would o have helped to prolong
her life.
Mr.. Patrick and Mrs. Louis Claus
sing, who had accompanied Mrs. Pat
rick to Denver, returned to this city
with the remains on Friday night
last and the funeral was held Sunday
afternoon. The local order of East
ern Star of which Mrs. Patrick had
been a member since 1903. conducted
the services, assisted by the Rev.
Law. The services put on by this
order were indeed impressive and as
beautiful as one could have wished
to see. Two OF Mrs. Patrick's fav-
orite songs were sung by Mrs. Sniv-
ley. Many, many friends attended
the funeral and paid their most
humble respects to the memory OF
one who was loved and dear to their
hearts.

Similar meetings will be conducted
in other western and middle western
states. The meetings in Cheyenne
and Casper will be the only meetings
held in Wyoming.
This commission has been sent out
by President Coolidge to get first
hand information on the conditions
in the western section and they will
report back to the Agricultural Com
mission of which Robert d. Carey,
former Governor of Wyoming, is
chairman. In turn the agricultural
commission will report directly to
the President so that he may better
recommend and properly bring the
matter before the next regular SEES
sion of Congress. 1t is believed. that
by getting this information first
hand, the agricultural and livestock
interests will be better served in
legislation, which it is hoped, will be
enacted during the coming session
of Congress.
During the past three years the
government agencies-the War Fl,
nance and Federal Farm Loan Bank.
have had the ~loaning of fedora
