Report Shows.

All records for monthly construc.
tion We're broken in this country in
August. according to the F. w. Dodge
Corporation. New construction work
started in the Sc Eastern States
(Which include about seven -eighths OF
the total construction volume Of the
country amounted to S5S9. .690,2O0. The
previous high record was in March of
this year, with a total of S546, $40, 700.
The August increase over July was II
per cent; over August, 1924, &c per
cent.
Construction started in the Sc East
ern States during the past eight
months has reached S3,77S, 1920 an
increase of % per cent over the cor
responding period of 1924, and by far
the largest amount for any similar
period. At the end of June, this year
was Is per cent ahead of 1924; at the
end of July, 20 per cent ahead, and at
the end of August, 25 per cent ahead.
This shows the rapidity of the rise in
building activity during the past few
months.
The big August volume was to an
extent due to largely increased ac-
tivity in and around New York City,
where, up to July l. building activity
was comparatively low. August was
a record month in building contracts
in New York and vicinity, as well as
in the entire territory covered in the
Dodge records.

ings; S32, ,472 200. or 6 per cent, for

$22 ,692. 800. or per cent, for indus

Contemplated new work reported
for the 36 States in August amounted
TO $500, 200. which also broke all
previous records. There was an in

Wyoming Range
and Livestock Re-
port, May l, 1925

Sheep and cattle are in excellent
condition and early grass is good but
moisture is needed for later ranges,
according to the monthly livestock
and range report issued by the United
ed States Division of Crops and live
stock estimates.
Ranges: The condition of the range
is SO per cen Of normal or three
points above that reported last
month. A year ago it was estimated
at 95 per cent OF normal, and two
years ago at Sc per cent. Partially
general rains and SHOWS during the
first part of April have helped the
range somewhat. but due to cool
nights and drying winds the growth
of grass has been slow. Moisture
is needed in nearly every locality for
late grass. Early ranges have made
a good start and are furnishing ample
grazing for livestock. Stock water
is short and prospects for irrigation
this summer are not good.
In all except a few counties in the
western and north eastern part OF
the state, a large carryoyer of hay
is evident. Feeding operations have
been about suspended. A few peo-
pie are feeding COWS with young
calves and in the higher region of the
west some are feeding all their stock.
The supply of hay on hand is about
80 per cent of the total crop pro-
duced last year, while last year at
this time only 8 per cent of the pre-
vious years crop was on hand, and
two years ago only s per cent. Most
of this hay will be carried over into
the next winter caasnn
Cattle: The condition of cattle is
placed at 100 per cent of normal or
five points above that of a month
past. One year ago it was reported
as 80 per cent of normal and in 1928
as 81 per cent. Favorable weather
and range conditions have attributed
much towards the improvement to
normal in cattle. Cows are in fine
shape and young calves have been
coming fast and doing very well.
Some local trading has been done at
what seems somewhat stronger
prices. AAfew cows and young steers
have figured in the above mentioned
deals.
Sheep: Sheep have done better
this spring than for many years.
Their condition on May l was 1913
per cent of normal, three points above
normal and five points above what
was reported last month. On May
l., 1924 it was estimated at 90 per
cent and in 1928 at 80 per cent,
Weather conditions have been ideal
for sheep and the range has furn-
ished ample grazing. Early Landing
is well underway and late is getting
started. Lambs, to date, are doing
fine and losses have been light. \
very large crop is expected. Shear
ing has started in the central part

Miss T. Mitchell
Died at Memorial
Hospital Thursday

Miss Thelma Mitchell, IL year old
daughter OF Mrs. Tilton Martin of
Fort Steele, died at the Memorial
hospital at 4:45 Thursday afternoon
last from heart trouble. The funeral
services were conducted from Mar
tins Home Mortuary on Saturday
afternoon and interment was made
in the Rawlins cemetery. Rev. Law
conducted the funeral services.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tilton Martin and
Mrs. Martins two children, Thelma,
aged IL, and John, aged IA, came to
Carbon county from the central part
of the state several months ago.
They have been living in Fort Steele
and Mr.. Martin has been working for
the Illinois Pipe Line company at the
loading racks about five miles west
of Fort Steele for several weeks.
Miss Thelma has been troubled
with heart trouble for some time but
it was not until Saturday, May 9th,
hat her condition was serious enough
to enter her in the hospital. While
in the Memorial hospital she i'm
proved slightly but on Thursday last
she took a turn for the worse and
her death occurred that afternoon.
The family have the sympathies
of Rawlins residents in the loss of
Miss Thelma Mitchell.

Clarence Iseley, who was charged
with maliciously and w~ilfully disturb

however, and was fined and given
the sentence. She paid his fine the

that he will be released on the con-
dltion that he leave the city i'm

or trumpets, no exaggerated claims.
1t has been a steady, wholesome
growth, based entirely upon the
trucks performance"
Less than three years ago Graham
Brothers were in twentieth position.
NOW they are manufacturing trucks
at the rate of over 100 a day, mar
keting their entire output through
Dodge Brothers Dealers. This sales
and service advantage of a strong
dealer organization, combined with
the exceptional merit of the truck
itself, is regarded as one of the chief
for the rapid advance to
leadership. Dodge Brothers Dealers
everywhere are highly regarded and
their service facilities are uniformly
above the average. Service is an
exceedingly important factor in the
operation of a truck and business
men are not slow to appreciate the
advantage of having genuine parts
instantly available when needed.
Graham Brothers attribute Their rapid
advance to the following four rea-
ons
l.. Distinct price advantage.

cine Bow National Forest show a
serious deficiency in the amount of
snow as compared with the average
year. For the region tributary to
the Big Laramie, the deficiency
ranges from "A per cent less than
normal near Somber Hill, S1% less
at FoXpark and there is no snow on

is 20 inches on May /.
tributary to the Little Laramie
river, the deficiency is 1872 near
brooklyn Lake, 54% on the North
Fork and above Centennial. where
the NOW usually averages IL inches.
No snow was found on May l.
Conditions are slightly better on
the Bow River, Pass Creek and Rock
Creek d~rainages. At Sand Lake the
deficiency is 27 &c and on Carlson
Creek 2 SO. Near the Bow Ranger
Station, the deficiency is however
69Eo compared with the average
year.
Ranches in the Saratoga Valley
will probably fare better than other

approximately normal on Franch and
