SUCCESS OF COLONIZATION DEPENDS
SUPPORT OF ENTIRE BASIN : ALL MUST
ASSIST in LISTING LANDS FOR SALE

While organized as a single unit
for operation, the Big Horn Basin
Colonization association is made up
of the sever principal communities
of the basin country, from Cody to
.Thermopolis, and the success or fail
ure of this colonization plan depends
largely upon the interest and &C
tivity of each local community.
The plan proposes to list, all lands,
particularly the vacant lands, of the
basin, for sale thru the new organ
ization which has just been COM
pleted by the Federated club, and
will offer these lands for sale thru
an outside selling agent, the same as
though they were compactly located
within a few miles, instead of be-
ing separated in some instances 200
miles.
In the organization the central
office will be located at Lowell, for
H. B. Richardson as secretary-treas-
urer. Into this office all of the lands
offered for sale must be assembled,
catalogued and made ready for the
outside agency in a methodical man
ner. For the securing of these list
ings the association will depend upon
the local clubs, which have each
designated three men to secure the
listings in their respective commun-
tiles. Assisting and directing their
work will be G. F. Robertson of
Worland, who was made general
local agent, who will assist each
community and local listing board
in getting their work under way.
We used the words Success OF
failure" in the beginning of this
story advisely. for the whole plan
depends upon the activity of the
local boards and communities, and
until they have functioned and de-
, 1925-09-02

livered their listings, it will handi-
cap the work of the organization
in putting before the buying public
a complete list of the lands to be
offered for sale through this ~associa-
ton.
The activity of the local boards
is equally important to the commun-
tiles which they represent, for in
event the board fails in listing its
lands for the association that com
munity is not going to share equally
with those communities which are
listed one hundred per cent. How
ever, it does not all devolve upon
the local board. Those who have
lands for sale can be of material
assistance to the board by calling
upon them or at least notifying them
that they have such lands for sale.
The plan as put over by the Fed
Grated club cannot fail of success
with the moral and financial sup
port of these seven communities of
the Big Horn basin, as well as the
cooperation of a number of large
corporations and the Burlington rail-
road, the plan is bound to win. Let's
all put u shoulder to-,the wheel
and help win. Cody is a part of
the colonization plan for its ultimate
success.
C. NJ. Cox will receive listings of
all land for sale in this community.
Call on him IL you know of a piece
of land in this community which is
for sale, and assist him in every
way possible. Let us populate the
Big Horn basin with a multiplied
number of new farmers, and get
our vacant lands under cultivation.
The back to the land" movement
Is now under way, and If the Big
Horn basin fails in getting her share
of ley settlers. there is none to
blame but her own people.

Mrs. Geo. Weller is receiving
medical attention in Billings for
a fracture of one of the vertebra

but which an ex-ray revealed to be
a fracture of the back. Although
her condition is not serious. she
may have to remain in the hispital

WILD WEST SHOW

When the American Legion Ma

this fall the Legionaires are going
to see a wild west that will be the
very widest wild west since the day

are coming overland by easy stages,
SO that the horses will be ION edge"

tearing and rearing into the rodeo
field when the convention meets.
Be it known that this is to be
an ear-down rodeo, and not one of
the "chutes'' kind. An "ear-down"
rodeo is one in which the horses
are cared down to be saddled in
stead of being saddled in chutes.
The ~"ear-down" is not quite as safe
for the spectators as the chutes,
but the people of the cattle country
like them that way and the spec
tators will get some extra gasps
and thrills.

Nisi Bunkum

SEATTLE, Wash, April ia mo-
nument to the late President Harding
was unveiled here. It stands in Wood
land Park where Harding gave the
oath of allegiance to 10000 boy scouts,
and was presented by the Elks lodge
Only $500 were present this time,
the reputation Of Harding having been
sadly furnished since he was here.
Three Elks presented the monu.
ment to the city, and two professional
politicians, acting for the city accep-
ed 1t. The boy scouts had the honor
CD of paying for it.
Among the bunk peddled out by
the speakers were such statements
as nothing better can be done by
the Elks than to teach love of coun-
try to boys -. Harding was one of
the greatest. examples Of the great
ness of American manhood" (this
from a democrat, ex-socialist-won-
der what he thinks of Daugherty,

anew to our country, to respect its
laws and defend it's liberty" (this
from a hard boiled republican con-
gresham who has been one of the
most consistent foes of the workers

revealing incidents of Harding's life

CLOTHING union
OFFICIALS HELP
BOSS FIGHT REDS
Royal Tailor Boss Uses
Same Language

An example which proves that the
spectre of Communism in haunting
America is here given. Last Satur-
day there was a conference in the
coat shop of the Royal Tailors. The
following took part in the meeting:
Mr.. Price, manager of the firm, John,
the head foreman, and creature by
the name of Nowak who, occupies the
position of head examiner.
Nowak is a well qualified slave
driver, having no brains, and in real
ity being sadly underpaid, getting less
than the examiners working under
him who belong to the union. This
echo of the middle ages thinks he is
still living in that period, and the
workers under him are mere serfs,
to be sweated until worked to exhaus-
ton. L ~
He goes to the foreman and man
ager continually, squealing that one
or the other of the tailors does not
produce enough. The conversation at
the meeting mentioned above best il
Illustrates this.
Nowak-"The most important and
urgent job for us at present is to get
rid of the radicals. They do not want
to work, and poison the minds of the
other workers. The sooner they are
out, the better off we will be-"
Manager Price-"T have orders to
get rid of them. We know them all.
Some of them are gone already, and in
a short time they will all be out"
OF course it would be interesting to
know where that worthy got his or
ders-from the rotarians, the cham
Der of commerce, or the Amalgamated
Union officialdom. 1t is noticeable
that the business agent, Weinstein,
at union meeting expressed himself
in the identical language used by the
garment boss.
"They are only handful and the
sooner they get out of the union the
better off we will. be-" was Weinstein's
statement.
These two statements smack very
much Of an unsavory collaboration.
But in spite of all its enemies the
Communist movement grows daily
stronger and stronger and prepares
itself for the conquest Of power over
the bosses.
