Pete Smith (Black Pete) not the
engineer, was quito . character. Like
many Of the old timers he would
work for six months or q year. (He
was q U. p. bhcksmith) without tax
ing q drink Of liquor and all at once
would get on a good which would
tast for maybe a week and while on
these little sprees we would play all
kinds Of jokes on him. At one time
some of the boys found him asleep
In one Of the saloons and as he wore
a full beard and heavy crop Of hair
(jet black) they concluded he needed
a hair cut and shave 30 they procured
a pair Of shears and proceeded with
the work, and when they had finish
ed he was q sight to behold. They
had taken the whiskers off one side
OF his face including one half the
moustache and the hair off the op-
postte side Of his head. II you ever
saw a funny looking man 1t was
Pete Smith and talk about mad, as
Jerry Murphy used to say. He could
ate horseshoe nails wild madness.
At another time he was full and
the boys were joshing him about rid
ing horseback and he said he could
ride as we'll as any of them. (He had
never ridden a horse a half dozen
times). They saddled a horse for
him and he rode up and down the
street on the south side several times
and would stop In front of a saloon
and some n would bring him out
a drink and he was just having lots
OF fun. So was everybody else for
the reason that the saddle was on
the horse backwards (the horn BE-
hind), but he did not know the diff
ference.
Some of the boys who helped out
in the above pranks and pastimes are
still residents Of Rawlins and be-
lieve would do the same things again
II they only had the chance.
At another time, I think about
1881 or 2. Rawlins was much troub-
led with an epidemic or influx of
temperance orators or lecturers. You
see the old timers who had drank
much whtskey and were called old
soaks, drunkards. ETC., had made this
country safe for the former and the
more enlightened reformers of the
east so they came west to tell US
what we should do, etc. Cat this
time they ran no chances of losing
scalps). At any rate nearly every
citizen Of Rawlins was wearing a
Blue Ribbon on the lapel of his coat
and that was the sign that you were
only to drink aqua pura for at least
a year but that was a very scarce
article in Rawlins at that time. Out
they now have fine water and 1t will
test up aqua pura").

One night we had a temperance
lecturer and he had a bottle Of al
cohol and glass and an egg and he
was demonstrating how the alcohol
would cook the egg and how it had

and looked like he was almost asleep

CARPENTERS HAD

Tho Wyoming State Council OF Car

The meetings in Thermopolis were
presided over by President Higley
and C. 8. Thompson of Casper was In
his place as secretary OF the organ
ixation. Harry Fox. president of the
state federation Of labor, was present
and his several addresses to the as
semb1age were very valuable and we'll
received.
Departing from the usual custom
Of having the secretary read the re-
ports from the various delegates,
President Higley had each delegate
read and discuss his own report. In
this way considerable more ground
was covered, and much valuable in
formation was obtained from the dis
cussions. for each section has its own
problems and many delegates were
more able to get the other locals

luton of their own problems.
As 1t was brought out in the con-
v%ention. very few towns in the state
are doing much work in the building
line. The proposal of a 50 q day
minimum wage was voted down. how
ever. the matter was left in the hands
Of the individual locals and they were
given the privilege of handling the
matter as they saw fit. The mini
mum wage now is So a day.

Tho following letter received from
John F. Heagney brings back men,

years ago. 1t will be Of interest to

who were care free and happy and
cared very little for anything. unless
II was for n good horse and saddle.
which was about tho height OF our
ambition. and as they did moi cost

Effect of Speculation

Considerable optimism is reflected
here by high government officials as
to the trend of business and agri-
cultural conditions. Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon predicted some time
ago that the period of imitation would
reach the breaking point. 1t now
appears that his views have been sub
stantiated by developments. The
cabinet was advised yesterday that
the downward movement of several
stocks listed in Wall street was solely
the result of speculation. 1t is said
that in the scramble for profits the
buying was such that issues were
in many instances far above their
actual value.
One thing is certain. There will
be no disturbing legislation for at
least ten months. A reliable fore
cast has been made by an authori-
tative agency to the effect that "busi-
ness during the balance of the year
will probably be conducted under
conditions of rising interest rates for
loans, with a tendency toward lower
prices in some industries, and gen
orally stationary wages"
Secretary of Labor Davis told as
s~ociates in the cabinet this week that
the labor situation is very favorable.
Surveys indicate that little difficulty
is experienced in the negotiation of
new wage scales and agreements be-
tween employers and employees. 1t
is reported that in many instances
the workers have voluntarily accept
ed cuts in wages where an impartial
investigation of facts warranted.
The business houses are advising
their associates to study and take a
constructive interest in the agricul-
tural situation because of it's pos
sible political as well as economic
consequences"

partment of commerce and great

struggle between foreign nations and
American capital for the concession
to operate the great manganese de-
post, the Caucasus mountains in the
soviet republic of Georgia. 1t is
one of the great plums now before
the business world and around 1T
world affairs will eventually evolve.
This is explained by the fact that
the Russian soviet is using these
natural deposits of mineral highly
essential to the manufacture of steel
for the exploitation of political pur-
poses.
There is a verse written by a gov
eminent official recently which says:
81 am STEEL Man is my master; |
am his master servant; I await his
command to create new eras."
The Harrison Banking company of
New York, is the leading contender
for the concession. Assisted by their
government, financial houses in
France, England and Germany, are
bidding for the manganese. The
Hartman outfit is the best financially
but of no political advantage to the
soviet. The bolshevik leaders are
hopeful that the negotiations for
this mineral may %favorably influence
the American government in order
to obtain formal recognition. The
chances are against any favorable
action by the American government
until political conditions are changed
materially in Russia.

Congress Gone and Now
Quiet Reigns at Capital

Washington, March 31.-With the
legislative branch Of the govern
ment away from town for a long per-
iod the administration is proceeding
at an even keel. All major political
disturbances have quoted down with
pleasing results.
The time Of the president is taken
up for nearly an hour each day re-
ceiving the hundreds of school chill
dren and visitors. It is a spectacle
of democracy that impresses foreign
visitors.
The Presidents advisers"
Generally, the significance of a
more hasty h~andshake is magnified
when the citizen returns to his or
her home town. The imagination
plays an important part in the pre-
sentation to the president of the
United States. When young and old
relate the incident to the folks they
like to appear as a special adviser
to the chief executive. The con-
ventional phrase pleased to meet
you, Mr.. President" which is uttered
politely, with variations, is usually
changed to "Now, Mr.. President, 1
think you ought To-, etc." Many
who in reality were mere handshak-
ers have become political seers in
their community solely ON the prem
Uses of their own imagination.
Those who believe that their pres
tige is increased by spending S sea-
son within calling distance of the
White House are now preparing to
descend upon the unsuspecting town
of Swampscott, Mass. The president
has indicated that the summer White
House will be maintained there. The
politically and socially ambitious
who would never have considered
this place for a summer vacation
have suddenly discovered it is an
ideal resort. Circumstances alter
