mrs. EVELYN PAINTER
AT REST in RIVERSIDE

After a beautiful and useful life
of &c years. Mrs. Evelyn Painter
died on Wednesday. August 22nd,
and was laid to rest in Riverside
cemetery on Friday, August 18th.
after services held in the Cody
Methodist church, of which she has
been a prominent member for years.
Rev. G. S. Upton gave a short SER
mon and with a few well chosen
words paid a splendid tribute which
was the due of this m who
for more than rs years has taken
an active part in the developing
and upbuilding of this section of
Wyoming.
Evelyn Taylor was born July IA.
1859. to Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. w. Tay-
ler. at Philadelphia. Pa, and grew
to womanhood in that state. On
March 5. 1885. she vas married to
William T. Painter, and to this
union were born foul children, two
.of them having passed on before
their mother, a son in infancy and
a daughter, Mrs. Geo. Head, two
years ago. Mrs. Ed Head of Cody
and VIM. T. Painter of Laurel,
Montana, survive their mother.
In 1897 the Painters came to Wy
oming, n Mr.. Painter for several
years was closely identified with
the mining development of the Sun
light section. For several years the
family spent the summers here, re-
turning east during the winter
months. that the children might
have h best educational opportun-
tiles. In 1901 they developed the
ranch that is now operated by Simon
Snyder, and got into the stock bus
mess on a very large scale. They
continued in business for several
years.
Mrs. Painter for over twenty years
has been one of the outstanding
women of northern Wyoming. A
woman of more than the ordinary
ability to do things. she has taken
a very active part in business af-
fairs. and the latch string at the
Painter ranch was always out, and
true western hospitality was dis
pensed by this lady and her fam
lily.
1t was in passing hat she truly
showed her fine character. Having
known for the last six months that
her nays were numbered, she has
eeen businly engaged in arranging
her business affairs. and has shown
that ever cheerful spirit of one of
the true Christian who knows tina
her work on earth has been well
and faithfully done. and is ready to
meet her Maker. During her illness
h received visitors almost daily.
and readily discussed the life which
h knew was about to open to her.
In the passing of Mrs. Painter
Cody and Park county loses n of
its finest citizens and the world
loses a great friend and benefactor.

NATR0NA COMMISSIONERS
HAVE CASES APPEALED
Supreme Court will be Called Upon
to Rule on Custer Proceedings
Scott Ousted; Morgan's
Case Dismissed

The Wyoming Supreme court will
be called upon to review points of
law which resulted in the removal
of one county commissioner and the
generation of another on similar
charges in hearing of custer pro-
ceedings held at Cheyenne late
Thursday in the District court. Mis-
conduct and malfeasance were the
charges in both cases.
Charges against Commissioner
Guy T. Morgan were dismissed by
Judge Harry A. Illsley, who re-
ferred to the states case in his
decision as a hopeless tumble, with
little evidence to support any kind
of Judgment" The state had COM
pleted it's case by presentation of the
same evidence used in the conviction
of Jack E.. Scott. when the hearing
was terminated abruptly by the dis
missal.
Petitions for new trials will be
filed with the Supreme court in both
cases, the defense having prepared
it's transcript of the Scott hearing
for forwarding at once. after being
gel ilHeu ny tHe court. Inc state
will appeal the Morgan case. Charg-
es of error will be included in both
appeals, it is indicated.
In the meantime Natrona coun-
tvs board of county commissioners
probably will be limited to two mem
bers-Earl Burwell and Guy T. Nor
gan-and it is possible that the va
cancy caused by Scott's removal will
not be filled until the custer cases
have reached final determination by
Supreme court rulings. Morgan will
function for the present as the tenn
porary chairman of the board.

JUDGE RULES
FOR STATE IN
TAX DECISION
Insurance Lice nse
Fees On TaX-Ex-
empt Securities Le-
gal and Valid
(By the United Press) ,

Circuit Judge Z. Ray Stevens to-
day in Madison in two suits brought
against the state by the Northwes-
tern Mutual Life company that in
surance license fees assessed on
income derived from tax-exempt
securities is legal and valid. Under
this decision, the state retains a
total of $294,25S.88, which, together
with accumulated interest, would
amount to over 100000.
Judge Stevens ruling sustained
the demurrer interposed by the at
torney general in two cases against
the state in which the Northwes-
tern company was plaintiff. Counsel
for the plaintiff contended that
the state could not, in computing
the annual license fee exacted as
condition for doing business, in
clude as a basis for such fee the iE-
come received by it upon tax ex-
empt securities.
The court in it's decision said:
1.-THE cases on which plaintiff re-
lies are those in which the contri-
button to government was tax
upon property. A license fee or
tax paid for the privilege of doing
business is not tax upon property.
The law imposes no burden upon
tax exempt securities, but simply
uses the income from these securi-
ties, as a means of measuring the
amount of the license fee or privl-
lege tax which plaintiff should pay
for the privilege of conducting it's
business as a life insurance com
pany."

Shortly after returning from the

that the site on which Reedsburg
now is located would be splendid
place to build a mill but lacking
sufficient capital at the time he
was unable to carry out his wishes.
However, David C. Reed of Wal

ior advantages for a mill site in
this part of the Baraboo valley
and in the spring of 1847 accompan
led by Mr.. Powell came and laid
claim to the land. In June of the
same year the first improvements
were started, which consisted of
the construction of the dam and
the building of shanty in which
to house the men engaged in the
work. In June 1848 the frame of a
saw mill was erected and in. a
remarkably shot time large num-
Der of logs were being sawed into
lumber. 1t soon became one of the

Eliot of HARVARD
Places High Value
On Summer Camps


Charles w. Eliot, president emer-
titus Of Harvard, has said that the
organized summer camp is the most
important of Americas educational
contributions to the world.
Enlightened parents now agree
that the child is as much in need
of two months in camp as of nine
months in school, and that both OF
these forms of training are neces-
sary to the development of mod
ern man or woman capable Of ade-
quately living the life of our time
Idleness and undirected activity
do not constitute rational ways in
which to employ leisure. They
waste that precious element, time,
Of which the vitally-constituted in
dividual can never have enough.
They are progressively pernicious
in that they debase habits, enfeeble
the will and intellect and destroy
the morale. The summer camp,
we'll directed, is one Of the most
effective character builders of this
generation.
Camp life does not roughen the
nature of the boys; on the contrary
it implants the instincts of order
cleanliness and refinement in the
toughest and toughest of exter-
iors. Judgment, reliance, skill and
initiative are developed in the well
organized boys camp.

PROBE
UNFAIR TRADE:
Department of Mar
kets To Investigate
Alleged Practices of
Producers
(By ne United Press)

State Treasurer Sol Levitan to-
day in Madison announced he
would ask an investigation by the
department of markets into alleg
ed unfair trade practises charged
to the big Three" producers or
ganization at the Milwaukee
theatre owners convention which
closed last week.
A producers war, featured by d
split between the M.P.T.O.-the
exhibitors organizations the
Big Three, consisting of Para
mount, First National, and Gold
wyn, which developed at the Mil
waukee convention is raging
through screenland, Leyitan said.
In an address before the theatre
owners convention, the state
treasurer denounced discriminatory
trade operations of the movie
trust" as illegal, and in violation
of state and national anti trust
statutes.
Individual exhibitors, according
to Leyitan, are obliged to sign a
contract with the so-called pro-
ducers' trust to run ordinarily for
one year. In addition, they have
to bid against each other for bet
ter grade films, paying as high as
$4,000 for release rights where
competition is strenuous, he de-
clared.
THE same picture which carries
a premium of $4,000 in one place
may be shown in a neighboring
city, where competition is inactive,
for $780," Levitan stated. This is
clearly matter for investigation"
Approximately 80 smaller pro-
ducers have banded together to
fight the Big Three, Levitan de-
clared. The Independent organi-
cation, comprising Universal, War
ner, Vitagraph, and Fox, have TAX
en- the field against the trust" &C
