LABOR GROWING CONSERVATIVES

The oldest labor newspaper in the
country, the Indianapolis Union, de-
clares there is nothing in the con-
temptation of public service condi-
lions in the United States to cause
US to consider that public Or munic-
ipal ownership is in any sense the
solvent OF public service problems.
Public ownership will not do. But
ownership Of utilities by the people
as individuals is quite another mat
ter. There is scarcely a community
in the country the people Of which
could not acquire such substantial in
terests in the securities of the pub
lie service companies as to make
them actual administrators to their
needs in public service.
I'VE must get away from the idea
hal public utility ownership is a
big mans game. 1t Is the most prac-
tical of all means for the small man
to participate in big business.
There Is no better security In the
world than the average well-managed
public service company's investment
securities under ordinary conditions.

The Meeting At EncamMent.
In spite Of = nasty snowstorm at
Encampment, there was Z large meet
ing At the City Hall on the 18th,
and n that was full Of fighting
spirit. There was only n determin-
ation-that. As Mr.. E~nglehsrt we'll
expressed 1t. 1t was War. just A. much
30 a. when we were fighting Germany
. few years ago. with ruin staring Us
in the face unless w fought It out
to q win.
II appeared beyond question that
the railroad can be made to pay its
way with careful and economical
management from this time on. Re-
ceiver Fainnan was very highly COM
pltmented on his efficient and careful
management of the property during
the past winter.
Fred Healey was made permanent
chairman OF the work at Encamp-
ment. with MI. Englehart as vice.

REPUBLICAN,, RAWL1NS, WYOMING, THURSDAY, MARCH &c, 1925

chairman, and committees were ap.
pointed to work in harmony with
those from Saratoga in raising funds
by entertainments and otherwise,
and gathering the statistics of pro-
duction from ranches and timber and
other resources that are necessary
for use in presenting our case.
After the meeting, most Of those
present remained to hear from Paul
Holmes, who had just returned from
a trip to Laramie, Denver. and the
mountain towns along the Moffat
road, which communities have been
making such q success of raising head
lettuce. Ten acres of first-class head
lettuce will bring in an income larger
that that of almost any ranch in the
country at present, and there Is no
question that the elevation is just
right for It.. In fact some Of the
finest head lettuce in the world has
been produced here for years past.
1t was brought out that in order to
raise 1t in quantity successfully it
would be necessary to bring in labor,
either Japanese or Italian, that is
used to the work, to handle a con-
siderable part Of the acreage. OF
course this would mean additional
freight for the railroad as well as
business and profit for the towns.
After hearing all sides of the matter,
they decided to have a representative
of n Of the Colorado lettuceoship-
ping firms come up to go over the
ground and contract the acreage re-
CURED by them
This is an entirely new sort of
work to most Of our people and one
that is a long ways from the dude
cowboy who sports his high-heeled
boots and looks pretty. but it is the
sort Of thing that we must come to,
and the sooner the better. 1t will
take rich land, preferably old alfalfa
ground. in the first place. 1t must
be fenced SO that there is no possible
chance for stock to break in and
ruin the crop, the gophers and rab-
bits must be thoroughly poisoned.
not just on the field, but for a con-
distance all around It.; the
land plowed early and deep and
narrowed and leveled, no
work anywhere or at any
time. There must be water available
all through the season into Septem-
BERN short, 1t Is a sort Of Intensive
that Is new here, but which
will be most profitable to Encamp-
ment as we'll as Saratoga. At this
time 1t would seem that 1t takes an
of something like 1900
feet for the best results, but during
this coming year there will be enough
trial plots put In at different places
to determine Just what the best ele-
Is.

SCOUT NOTES

The regular meeting of the Raw
Inns Boy Scout organization was held
in the high school gymnasium on
Saturday of last week. The meetings
during the winter months have been
held in the gymnasium but it is hop
ed that as soon as the weather clears
up a bit the meetings can be held out
Of doors.
Last Saturdays gathering Of scouts
was interesting and plans for the
coming spring and summer were talk
ed over. 1t was decided thai II the
weather was favorable mex Saturday
the scouts would go on a hike.
After the business session the
names OF the boys who played very
good basketball during the past
tournament we're mentioned. In the
forward positions there seemed to be
a number Of outstanding players and
1t was hard to pick out any one man
who was much superior to the others.
A choice was finally made, the boys
who received mention were: John
McNulty, James McDermott. William
Pons. Arthur Nordland. Allen Burns.
James eastman and Charles McDer-
mott.
For centers there were Ruel John
son and Leroy johnson. In the guard
positions there were not many play
ers who showed up especially strong.
however among the best OF the few
Arthur Friend was mentioned and
Fred Speyers and Louis Bates re-
ceived mention.
Two scouts who showed W % the
best passers in the tournament were
Frank Johnson and Edward Allison.
One Of the biggest features in the
tournament was the team which was
selected as the one showing the best
sportsmanship. Although the Ram
Patrol team was defeated in their
first two games played, as a whole
hat team showed the best spirit OF
craftsmanship. 1t was not a case OF
any one man being a good sport so
much as 1t was the whole or in

EDITORIAL COMMENT
 APPEARS IN SEATTLE
 PAPER ANENT ALASKA

This man "Sourdough Jack Nc Cord, apparently is moving mountains in his attempt this year to keep Al aska in the public limelight. Arti- cles have been appearing all over the United States in the last few months about Alaska and in many of them the name of McCord gen. erally receives few line. The most recent of these is an editorial ap- bearing in the Seattle Post-Intelligen- cer of May 12 issue, under the cap tion, Alaska In the Public Eye" The editorial is republished below:
 Alaska In the Public Eye.
 While statesmen, federal officials, and the appeals of the people most concerned, have had much to do with the loosening up of Alaska's chains to permit the development of some of it's great natural wealth, the pio- neers, the old sourdoughs who have fought, bled and almost died for a decade or two, to open up the great territory, have had a decisive ef- feet in loosening the iron-clad fed eral laws and regulations and in at tracing the attention of the nation.

ommendation of this committee, the conference organized on a perma- nent basis to continue the coopera- tive movement and carry out it's pur- poses, adopting the name of Interna- tional Pacific Salmon Investigation Federation. As a nucleus for this rather informal organization there was appointed an executive commit tee of nine, of which Commissioner O'Malley was named chairman; three members from Canada to be includ ed. The other members: Maj. J. A. Motherwell and Dr. w. A. Clemens of the Canadian service; John P. Babcock of British Columbia; J. R. Heckman of Alaska; F. P. Kendall of Oregon; N. B. Scofeld of Califor- nia; Dr. c. H. Gilbert, and E. P. Blake of Washington, secretary. This committee was charged with drawing up treaty, as previously mentioned, relating to outside" fishing; work ing out definite plans for the keep ing of uniform statistics; and, mak- ing such arrangements as might be possible for an immediate investiga- tion of the extra-territorial salmon fisheries and plans for comprehen- sive biological survey, in cooperation with the fisheries department of all governments interested.
Seward daily gateway., 1925-05-26

Among these, the pioneer Alaskan known as Jack McCord, financed to some extent by friends in Seattle, made the long trip to the national capital, and with his first-hand knowledge of affairs, had much to do with prying the territory open to development Among other ob- jectives, too, he helped to interest the big oil companies in the promise of petroleum in Alaska, and some of them are now in the field, drilling wells or preparing to drill them
 The Standard Oil company was reported, not many days ago. as down 3,375 feet with it's drifl, and near the depth the oil should be found, if at all If there is a big strike, at least one seasoned sour dough, in the person of McCord, will express great joy.
 The man has a vision of Alaska as a treasure chamber of immense natural wealth, and is devoted to the purpose of throwing it open to development by his countrymen. Further, he has helped to initiate legislation whereby the federal agri- cultural and interior departments are cooperating to furnish grazing grounds for the herds of reindeer along the line of the Alaska railroad This means a packing house on the rail line, and more business for both railroad and Alaska people.
 Many Alaska pioneers, who best know the possibilities of their home land are busy, here and there, with their personal contributions to en- pire building in Alaska, and their work has been most effective. It should not be many weeks or months before the result of all this unselfsh missionary work will be evident in a renaissance of Alaska industry de- velopment, and production of na- tional wealth.

CENSOR EARNS THANKS

LONDON, June 27. P)-Pro- test against the redicule of stammering on the stage was filed recently with Sir George Crichton, comptroller of the lord chamberlain's office, by J. Herbert Mall, head of all in stitute for defects in speech, who contends that there is as much inhumanity in testing with this disability as there would be in the case of blindness deafness or other physical aiI- ments.
 In his reply to MT. Miall Sir George said that, while ques- tions of bad taste do nC prop erly constitute a ground for censorship so long as personal allusions are not implied, nev- ertheless the lord chamberlain, who has authority to ban plays or any part thereof, will take the Miall protest into consider ation so as to avoid, so far as possible, causing pain and hu- initiation to those afflicted with defects such as stutter- ing.

CONSTRUCTION
MAKING RAPID
STRIDES NOW

Construction on the new bunga-
lows being built on the north side
of Parco is making excellent head
way and they should be ready for
the finishing work early next week.
Several frame houses are going up
on the south side, being built by in
dividuals. In some cases these are
but temporary homes and will later
be replaced by more extensive houses
OF a permanent nature. The ma
jority Of the lots in this district have
been sold and further construction
of homes will be carried on through
out the year
The new dormitory and office
building at the e of the hotel is
now succeed and the interior work
is we'll under way. 1t will be COM
pleted within a few days and ar
engagements for the occupancy of the
entire place are now being made.
Construction of cement cutters and
sidewalks is progressing nicely and
the work has extended down Lincoln
Avenue in front of the refinery. The
crawling OF the roads and rolling
of the same is practically completed
in the business district and consider
able work has been done in the res
idential part of the town on the
north side.
Heretofore several of the young
trees set out have suffered from eX-
cessive wind and other destructive
forces and this has resulted in the
building of strong guard rails round
them Tor protection. These rails
have been painted white and are
neatly constructed, so the effect is
rather pleasing.
The addition to the main office
building is approaching completion
and should be ready for occupancy
by the latter part of next week. Gen.
orally speaking the construction
work during the last few weeks has
been carried on very successfully
and record time has been made.
